eighty seven million people that's roughly half of nigeria's population are thought to be living on less than one dollar ninety cents per day nigeria has overtaken india as the country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty. these young men and women are newly minted volunteers in their slums they are being trained how to let others know what kinds of fries they have before the are evicted the ultimate goal is to stop extreme poverty from spreading i want to change the poverty level in my community and to provide to live we know that communities that means knowing how to mobilize other people so that lawmakers do their job and solve the deteriorating situation in slums magen chapman founded the justice and empowerment initiative five years ago she said eviction creates more extreme poverty unfortunately the government is not working with those people hand in hand
12:11 pm
to eradicate poverty and help them to find a solution to their situation instead the government is putting in place policies the. actually criminalize the livelihoods of the urban poor and demolish and destroy their homes the government wants to turn waterfront slums into attractive property they must be shut down because a breeding ground for crime and harmful to the environment but for her for flaig its residents on the brink of extreme poverty the slums for better or for worse their home or the hope of escaping poverty and conflict has led millions of migrants from africa and the middle east to seek better lives elsewhere many to europe which saw the peak of the exodus in twenty fifteen asylum seekers follow this route nor fat yeah i say made their way to western europe this lead author is in hungary to build a fence along its southern border and to jail migrants who managed to cross the
12:12 pm
aisle to use but speaking with one man who says he was trying to help his family beach germany but in hungary in jail he's asked us not to show his face i'm going to see for reports one of hungary's best known prisoners is waiting to meet me in this budapest prison to the government he's a dangerous terrorist. others say he's a political prisoner. tells me he does not know why he's here and never understand what how come birdsong. this way what do you think of when you think of terrorism what does terrorism mean to you. doesn't who at least minimal make bomb kill people. he has helped it for other people lead on this is because he has he has to do something from paper one paid for who. was.
12:13 pm
a syrian resident of cyprus was arrested while helping his aging parents and his brother's family fled to europe in two thousand and fifteen. they arrived at the hungary and border the day after it was closed. they were blocked along with hundreds of other refugees who lacked basic necessities but protests broke out. tried to translate between the police and the protesters. was was. but when communication broke down he joined in throwing rocks. hofmann had planned to return to his family in cyprus but never made it home he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. the court ruled that the intent to coerce police with violence is an act of terror. within the context what that happened at the border but we do nothing we. about what crime it cost to swing
12:14 pm
a couple of frogs. even if it's not the right thing to do in this issue in a situation like this. is not. what covers terrorism in a statement to d.w. the spokesperson of the hungary and government defended the decision of the court there has been a campaign lasting over a year including the involvement of the international press to prove that ahmed age is an innocent man. hungary will continue to protect its borders will defend its christian culture and its right to reject immigration asked ned feels he is a victim of politics. my friend who can my doing this week i want to ask you one question you want american citizens a young america they do this. young man they do these things. it's for our meds wife gave me photos of their two daughters to bring to the prison with me
12:15 pm
. the last time i saw them they were four and six. they will be eleven and thirteen when he sees them again if his sentence is not reduced. and aside from rights group amnesty international she joins us from london welcome to the w. you've been campaigning on ahmed's behalf are you looking for him to be released or for his sentence to be reduced well we're calling on ahmed conditional on terrorism charges to be lifted and him to be released has been imprisoned already for three years separated as you heard from he's missed two daughters and his wife. and the entire substance of the prosecution against him is that he's through that he started and that he is with the police at the border when the border was closed. this cannot reasonably be considered an act of terrorism and for that we're calling to let the charges of terrorism against him to be dropped. does hungary have the
12:16 pm
right to decide who enters the country. how he does have the right to and to decide who enters the country to a certain extent but all countries have an obligation to share responsibility for refugees and those fairly well now it's important to remember that ahmed himself wasn't actually a refugee he'd had come to the aid of keys is elderly parents who are trying to flee syria but the whole band government in hungary have been using that case to prove that they're that refugees and terrorism and some way associated this is the argument that they've used to justify their rejection of refugees and asylum seekers the only case that they have to support this argument that the found its case so we see i mean really being a victim of these why the politics up say so should people be allowed to bombard police with roxanne get away with it. attacks against the police can be
12:17 pm
a criminal offense of lots of countries but they do not constitute a terrorism offense or what aman has been prosecuted for is committing an act of terrorism this is in part because of hungary's overly broad and vaguely defined counter-terrorism law under which a lot of actions which we would not reasonably be we recently considered to be terrorism can carry out as a terrorism offense this combined with the obama government's dehumanization of refugees and migrants will probably have given rise to today's prosecution good talking to thank you for joining us at aside from amnesty international thank you i want to farrow's of ancient egypt died their bodies were often mummified in an elaborate procedure but the egyptians were the only civilization to do this an exhibition in the german city of mannheim explores the secrets and the stories the bombers from all over the world can still share. they're long dead but their bodies
12:18 pm
have endured the passage of time they are people who once lived then became mummified and offer those alive today a unique glimpse of death but the money home exhibition also reveals life's own secrets. to our show displays for the first time the methods used in mummy research which we can also use to uncover the secrets of life and this mummy of a woman in peru was the first of many that before the show began were given c.t. scans in money time university hospital her remains were already scrutinized this way in two thousand and six but thanks to advanced technology researchers can now look closely at things they once could only surmise they found the woman suffered from tuberculosis and was paraplegic in her hands it was discovered she holds baby teeth perhaps her children's something that some parents do even today. the
12:19 pm
specialist also identified the events linked to the seven hundred year old mummy of a child the c.t. tests revealed the drama that led to the death of this girl aged between one and two years. does help. the most striking thing is a long bright strips on atomically inside the trachea the child inhaled it all at once instead of swallowing it all the way down to where the wind pipe branches into this and then from a medical perspective she could only have taken one two or three press before us fixating. on that. but do these insights justify the public display of mummies the manhunt curators say yes but they also would kill to the living who wish to view the dead. researches and visitors should keep in mind these were people who once lived they deserve respect these. the people being exhibited
12:20 pm
they can tell us their stories and we should take the time to listen to the exhibition pay special attention to the remains of the paraplegic woman who lived in peru in the fifteenth century and died at about thirty years of age a sophisticated reconstruction allows visitors to gaze at this woman face to face establish an emotional bond and perhaps pause a while to learn the story of her life. is here with your business update this weekend bazza tenth anniversary of the bankruptcy of u.s. investment bank lehman brothers and i'm guessing they won't be having a cake no what else celebrating but we commemorated like fill in the event because it's a shock waves of course around the world and it said everyone from a spanish property almost american investors running for cover the most immediate impact was felt by lehman brothers employee is twenty five thousand off them found
12:21 pm
themselves out of work overnight the bank was a giant the fourth biggest investment bank in the world but it was not too big to fail lehman had become so deeply involved in mortgage originations that it had effectively become a real estate hedge fund disguised as an investment bank. wasn't willing to safe the bank lehman brothers remains the largest bankruptcy filing in u.s. history. and for more on that i'm joined now by my colleague the last hired to who was a correspondent on wall street for you when all of this happened so tell me what was it like that particular day the ominous september the fifteenth two thousand and eight how did you experience it well i think i was a shocking day really even though times had already been pretty rough markets were down there were a little shaky we knew about problems for the banks we knew about the real estate problems but it was just a shock to see these lehman bankers coming out of their office where they have boxes past or a journalist you know these people you know many of them so on
12:22 pm
a very personal level the first thing we felt is oh my god what happened here all these people they're losing their jobs this is a terrible tragedy but then asked the story developed to learn more and more about the details what lehman brothers had done how their market practices were and you didn't feel so sorry for them anymore but i mean twenty five thousand that's quite a lot of people i mean what's your best ective now where they victims all where they the perpetrators they were both not everybody at leaving brothers of course was into the predatory lending and all these strategies that led to the banks downfall so i'm sure there was a lot of people there who were just really doing their jobs and had no idea what was going on and of course it's right to feel sorry for them but there was obviously a lot of decision makers a lot of people who specifically came up with a strategy of fred atory lending i don't know if you ever took out
12:23 pm
a mortgage if you take out a mortgage under normal circumstances they look at your income they tell you that maybe this is a little too much risk to take on lehman brothers developed a whole new strategy they wanted to sell more and more mortgages they paid to people just for creating more kisses and they actually made people take on more risk than they could they even said to people in some cases that have been documented this might look like a lot of money right now if you're not able to afford it but think about it in a year and tweet. yes maybe you get a raise at work and then this is all of going to be a problem any more so this is of course incredibly response reckless behavior by a bank interesting enough though that lehman brothers then eventually fell victim to the famous prime mortgage crisis that you just described old say i mean a lot has happened since a lot of measures were taken are we safe now it looked like it for quite a few years because of course washington reacted regulation wall street was tightened but if you look at the last couple of months in the trump administration
12:24 pm
a lot of the regulation was no undone again frank is not working as it should anymore banks are now officially allowed to take on more risk again and of course that is a terrible strategy because everything that was put in place pacifically to prevent crisis like that is now out of place again of course a crisis like that can happen again not necessarily interest in a from the mortgage industry and from real estate because i think we don't see that bubble in the right but there's other credit rests whether that is official government debt or whether that's credit card debt that is actually even a higher risk for many americans than their mortgages there is distil a lot to explore loss how to you also have an in-depth analysis which one can find on facebook it's d.w. hyphen business thank you so much for now. what turkey's lira has said after the decision of the country's central bank to raise the interest rates that i'm kike to the benchmark interest rate by six point two five percent to

12:26 pm
allowing english boats to fish in their waters year round while their boats were forced to stay home and now it looks like scenes like these could soon return to the high seas. a spat over seafood boiled over last month as french fishing boats blocked their u.k. colleagues from dropping their nets. currently from the u.k. are allowed to harvest scallops year round while their french counterparts are banned from fishing in the summer leaving a bad taste in many a sailor's mouth. if you have played. these scallops shelled them and sold them back to us. but it's ok after the break they won't come back. and without a deal in the so-called scallop war there's likely to be rough waters ahead. this is news here is a reminder of the top story befalling for you. eric in florence has flooded streets
