you. mean. this is here we do is live from berlin ahead of a key summit in salzburg austria the chancellor there sends a positive signal to britain over brakes that. we want to do everything possible to avoid the heartbreak could simply be used and ready to compromise but so we also expect that from the u.k. . aviators including a german chancellor on america will hear the british prime minister's latest proposals this evening were at the scene as salzburg also coming up the leaders of

north and south korea agreed to sweeping measures to improve relations johnny and greece to close its me nuclear complex if the united states makes reciprocal moves plus the pressure is mounting on the americans government after coalition leaders agreed to remove a controversial domestic spy chief and then promote him to a more powerful post. also fears for syria's it live province despite a deal to halt a military offensive there refugees from the province are skeptical that the turkish russian plan to establish a demilitarized zone will save syria's the last rebel stronghold and one does think that champions byron munich are in a listen to take on portuguese powerhouse benfica in the first round of the champions league group stage just an hour from now.

i'm layla heraclius great to have you along everyone we must do everything to avoid a hard bragg's it and we stand ready to compromise while those are the very words of austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz ahead of a key e.u. summit in salzburg but with just six months to go before britain is to leave the union time of course is of the essence london says the e.u. must evolve its position while europe is warning that key parts of the u.k.'s brics the proposals linked to the irish border and future trade ties must be revised while european council president all just did acknowledge that some progress had been made albeit rather late in the day let's take a listen to what he said exactly today those perhaps more hope. about

those surely less and less time. in the form. of lift we must see you face for talks i would like to finalize them through or through. this is why it's tomorrow three of the twenty seven i will propose calling for an addition of. around the minutes of the most of them. so a word of caution there to london ahead of a nother key you some of us cross over to a salzburg austria where d.w. correspondent max hoffman is covering this summit for you max are you leaders united in hope of a compromise where you are. it seems that the hope yes you know it's that everybody mentioned we need a compromise that a hard so brags that without a deal would be a terrible thing not only for the u.k. but also a bad thing for the rest of the european union but it's unclear how this compromise

will come about because we still have two topics that are how to negotiate one being the border between northern ireland and ireland and the other one the future trade ties it was very telling that the german chancellor when she arrived here said a very close partnership is possible between the u.k. and the european union but she mentioned security she didn't mention trade and that might be her way of saying we have a red line here the integrity of the single market of the european union cannot be touched and that's something that's the reason may want so unclear how this compromise will come about it's clear though that we are at the beginning of the end game now mr to scott has called for an extra briggs's summit in november is this really going to happen. it really looks like it the summit has been rumored to happen for the last couple of weeks so we've known that this might happen it was unclear when and it's the first time really comes out and says we need that and i think what he's hoping to do is try to you know show us the point

where this and game ends and where they finally find a compromise it's also part of building up pressure. the e.u. has a way of doing things at the last minute it's quite unclear if november really is the last minute some experts say it might be december but what we know is that there still needs to be time to ratify an agreement for example by the european parliament and so december is definitely a last call that's why i said this is the beginning of the end game and we will see pressure building up continuously over the next weeks all right now what the host the austrian chanceless of us in a court said spoke about another hot button issue migration on his arrival at the summit what are the chances that you members will see eye to eye on that issue. donald to skin his invitation letter said something very interesting and this is really framing the debate he says as long as some are trying to fix the migration

crisis if you want to call that and others want to use it there will be no compromise on this topic and it seems that countries like hungary still want to use it for example be told by the prime minister of hungary to build their own political clientele their own political power back home that's a problem but there is consensus that they need to focus on safeguarding the outer borders that they need to prevent illegal migration that's why the commission proposed stocking up for example the border agency frontex up to ten thousand men at the moment they have one thousand six hundred people working for them or have so-called disembarkation platforms in northern africa where the illegal migrants are that the migrants in general would be brought back to process their request so this is the consensus but when it comes to a quota to redistributing actual refugees within the european union they haven't made a step forward there all right max hofmann reporting from salzburg austria thank you. and austria is currently holding the european

union presidency and the country's foreign minister karen i saw is one of the more outspoken voices in the austrian government conflict zones michelle or friedman has been speaking to miss crisil and he asked her why she had referred to the pent up testosterone of refugees who recently arrived in europe around eighty percent of those who arrived in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen men between the age of eighteen to thirty and that this can create a problem i think that as a marriage between eighteen and thirty let's say austrian man is less pent up was testosterone why did you use this metaphor in relationship i made ration but you take one phrase out of a larger context and he explained what does it mean yes but what is behind that you

take one phrase and you don't continue the entire salt the problem is three goblets and i said that in my book and i said that in that very essay that rick godless of the cultural. background regardless of that at all instances in history you had young men when they're able to create for them serve a status that while lance can follow. and you can watch the entire interview on d.w. on demand by going to w dot com slash conflict zone are all mixed up the leaders of north and south korea have hailed a deal to improve ties between their countries and a highly symbolic move the south's mungy in even invited kim jong un to seoul and what would be the first ever visit by a north korean leader but progress on reducing nuclear tensions in the region was less clear cut kendrell only promise to close the country's main nuclear complex if

the united states made reciprocal moves. day to south korean president j. ends visit to his northern neighbor kim jong un more carefully staged displays of harmony along with the generous serving of. the two leaders selling their pact as a breakthrough they've announced kim will become the first northern leader to visit seoul another step along the road to peace they say so and on the. military pact to end the history of brutal confrontation and agreed to make efforts to turn the korean peninsula into a land of pace they also promise to hold family reunions regularly that's off to dozens of relatives from the north and south separated in the one nine hundred fifty s. recently met. and the leaders agreed to disarm a jointly controlled border village starting with the removal of land mines they

also said they've made progress on the issue the world's watching denuclearization . south and north korea have agreed on a way to achieve denuclearization for the first time it's a very meaningful outcome. the north. and the north has now made closing its nuclear plant beyond dependent on reciprocal steps from the u.s. without saying what exactly they want. to both leaders have been keen to put on a display of unity at the summit but it's left experts debating if this is a big deal or yet more empty promise says. all right let's get you caught up now with some of the other stories making news around the world. u.s. president donald trump has arrived in north carolina to survey the damage left by hurricane florence trump has been meeting with the state's governor roy cooper as

well as relief workers and volunteers north carolina bore the brunt of hurricane florence a storm has killed at least twenty seven people across the state. italian authorities have closed the country's highest road bridge after discovering severe structural problems the viaduct over the river sent a links to regions in central italy spot checks following the fatal collapse of them around the bridge and jenna watt brought the findings to light. police in western germany have been ordered to stop clearing activists from an old growth forest after a man fell from a tree top count and died the victim is believed to be a journalist plans to cut down the ancient woodland for lignite mining have led to on growing protests. german chancellor angela merkel's fragile government is under renewed pressure after coalition leaders agreed to dismiss

a controversial intelligence chief earth already is being called into question after she allowed her powerful interior minister to promote the spy chief to a more senior position. most german newspapers have reacted with scorn the promotion of the controversial head of germany's domestic intelligence agency hunts mass and there's also provoked exasperate on the streets of fire in the private sector he would have been kicked out if you mess up you go it's that simple yes. i think it's bad really if he has to leave his office he shouldn't get a promotion. and if you don't trade incision after the other by the government must and should have gone. after yesterday's decision to promote masson to a more senior position in the interior ministry there was no comment from coalition leaders they left without stepping in front of the microphones. and it chancellor

angela merkel's first official engagement of the day she still avoided addressing the issue. in the wake of far right and rest in kemet marson who defied the chancellor by questioning the authenticity of a video showing mobs chasing down migrants. merkel had said the video was real and condemned the actions sharon calls for muslims dismissal grew louder. yet merkel's interior minister has. stood firmly by his side today he denied any responsibility for the controversy. i'd like to point out that i didn't start the discussion around mr marson or his agency. can it's i can't say that mr marson wanted this to happen he didn't push me to do anything just to stress that it's. he's a civil servant who will do his duty wherever he's supposed to.

do it. officials have presented this reshuffle as a necessary political compromise but many will interpret it as a cynical active face saving that is unlikely to boost trust in methods government . and our reactions are to masses removal and subsequent promotion have been swift a number of political figures have spoken out and i'd like to now welcome and her clothes that she is the head of the young socialists and berlin the youth organization of the social democrats a very good evening miss close of the first things first house the leader of the social democrats miss not has been outmaneuvered by the interior minister mr say offer. well i'd say so yes actually i mean it's a success after all that says that he was able to remove mass and. from this old post but now that he's now joining the government that's i would say

a big success for haas they will fire the interior minister and actually have the defeat at say mostly for america but also for the social democratic party opposes the big question that is we want to protect our democracy and that's why we wanted to remove mass from his responsibility and now he's having an even more powerful office and this well questions on. how would how successful we were by protecting our democracy from this guy and from his conspiracy theories so do you think this is a mistake yes i think it's a huge mistake because it undermines. trust in democracy from our population and also shows that machall actually is quite powerless. they will far interior minister that she has no power anymore really to have this in who is joining her government and also has a social democratic party it's very difficult to tell the people how they can admit

someone who's protecting far right movements and corresponding with them how can they allow to join government with them but they would take issue with that argument i presume because what the s.p.d. wanted was for mr moxon to be removed that has happened they achieved that i know that's that's great that they chief that but it's a really big mistake that now he's joining government because there he's going to have responsibility also for interior affairs and what kind of signs that to our population for our voters who really is trying to believe that's as big as fighting against the far right that the s.p.d. is a democratic force and now well yes they have removed him from his forms also so that's a success but now in joining government of being even promoted for making mistakes i mean nobody is going to understand why that happens if you do if you make a mistake in your job usually well you get fired or you have to face some bad

consequences for that and this guy well he's getting promoted for making a mistake. what would have been the solution the acceptable solution for you and the youth department of the s.p.d. because i mean mr nawaf his back was against the wall i mean this coalition has been going from crisis mode to crisis mode this was the most acceptable solution for all parties involved well the most acceptable solution as that massa is removed from is also and is not in responsibility for any government actions anymore and that has not happened so i would say if they will so i wouldn't would i wasn't villa to let them go there would have been responsibility to let the will forego but she was not able to do that and she didn't have the courage to stand up for a democrat for democracy and for well it would have been her responsibility to step in there and saves a coalition for any more trouble than has been horsetail so i would have been

pushing this question from crisis to crisis ever since the beginning the last time we saw it in june when he was like pushing his points about closing the borders and even more repressions on refugees and now he's doing the same thing with mass and with someone who is like as i sat down with our rights and still she's not able to well get the coalition's travel list the waters and. the politics that our country needs in closing what is your base telling you what are the young voters the young members of the s.p.d. telling you they are so disappointed right now well many people thought that the one thing that the social social democracy is least wrong for the moment is a fight against the far right and how they were disappointed because i think that well they are letting people who are supporting the far right join the government and are not able to really fight against that so they're disappointed and don't really know what to do and you're close head of the young socialists are here in

berlin thank you for weighing in the share your perspective on this issue. monday's deal between turkey and russia to establish a buffer zone in syria is in their province appears to have spared the region from an all out government offensive but civilians an adlib still face harsh conditions and families who have already fled the region to turkey receive on a daily basis harrowing messages from loved ones who stayed behind to abuse yulia han reports from originally on the turkish side of the syrian border. oh. two days ago there were airstrikes here again this little one was hurt can you see it thank god it was nothing worse. sees a sister fatima only on what's at the this one is a few days old the man lives in a village of the much in the town of re homeless across the border in turkey he

fled it lives six years ago his sister remained behind. her house was destroyed and the last trike. she left with her children to our parents village. fatima simply did not believe the war would last this long and this. or saw it and they want to bring order of the image each shows me how he lives in turkey in a makeshift tent camp with his wife the hawk and five children the ole share one space although you know he and. we live here because nothing else is possible. and it will never should be he should see this place in winter. the ground outside gets muddy and it's ice cold but it's

a really hard life that high as logically. as difficult as life might be here a boom a jeep and his family are at least in safety three years ago turkey effectively closed its border with syria and built a wall several hundred kilometers long since then new refugees have officially not been allowed to enter. the effects of that decision can be seen here on the left on the turkish side empty space on the right in syria refugee camps practically to the horizon turkish aid groups feet the. in the rehung the markets many turks say they're glad syrians are no longer allowed to cross the border. we've already taken in too many syrians we can't take more and don't want to. but if we had to flee the fighting we do the same it's fine with me if ican i understand that

they need help and that the same could happen to us but still since they've been here a lot has changed too much sharply but there's a lot of those who are the one who generation thirty king our jobs we used to earn eighty liras a day. syrians do the same work for half the pay. little to the wealth. of his family very much feel the hostility still there great here in the camp turkey's president is considered a hero even more so since managing for now to a final bloody offensive on the. he had them all confident of course it's not the end of the conflict. but when you're drowning you grasp it every stroll. at least the killing will stop now but i hope. whatever egypt's future is. wants to see his sister again someday in peace

and freedom and not just. the leon reporting there now female genital mutilation is a painful and dangerous procedure practiced on young girls in communities around the world and in the members of an islamic sect are defending the practice citing religious freedom and they're using social media to promote their position which has sparked backlash both against them and twitter for more here is our social media editor richard reid good to see jerry to talk just a little bit more about this group and their position on this controversial practice writes it is a subset of shia islam and they are called the dog would be border community and female genital mutilation is something that is commonly practiced in this community and over the last year in response to more awareness of the practice and more global pushback against it they have come out with their own material advocating

what they call the cuffs this is the term they used to describe female genital cutting the group is called would be bora women for religious freedom they are active online and they have a website and a twitter presence as well a relatively small one there and he has less than fifteen hundred twitter followers but what they do is post first with first person accounts of women he's undergone the practice and they say they want it to continue because they say it's their religious right now what's made people upset is that it appears twitter has allowed this group. two paid to promote itself and that basically means a tweet a tweet from this group has ended up on the timelines of twitter followers who joined actually follower the group and that's caused a bit of an outrage one of the tweets in question was a video statement from an accountant in kolkata she describes in positive terms the

practice and how it affected her let's let's take a listen to what she had just i. mean you know before i move on myself i have undergone comes and i don't know if you want any kind of big control my own emissions associated. in fact i don't want to be sure that i am full of my duty just right and duty my daughters have also undergone and growing up i spoke to don't you know. so you did p.s. people who had this video. of the female genital causing they were upset because they weren't expecting it they told twitter about it and twitter has stopped allowing this tweet to be promoted although it is still available online and on this account what some people are also asking is what these group advocates are it's claims in violation of twitter policies that's something twitter has to answer and so far it hasn't done that let's talk now about the international health bodies

so what do they have to say about this practice writes the world health organization has labeled female genital mutilation a human rights violation and it basically classifies it in four categories based on severity but regardless of the category it says all of the categories mutilation and what this group in india is saying where against mutilation as will but the practice that they do. it isn't mutilation because they say it doesn't girls and this goes against the evidence the science and what the world health organization says it's is there are no our health benefits from it and of course there are quite severe psychological and physical impacts some of them bleeding urine a scene complications in childbirth and of course women die from this procedure too and this is the message the campaign is that we speak out to trying to drive harm on social media this is a group from the dollywood ebor

a muslim community as well their goal is to completely and fame out genital mutilation in india another group of doll would be burra women who were caught as children have established a petition on change change dot org they're trying to reach two hundred thousand signatures basically diced and contrary to what people in that community say female genital mutilation is a practice that has nothing to do with religion and is more of a cultural practice that they want to see. and sorry we can see in india a push from people in this community to try and end female genital mutilation in india by law chaudhry thank you so very much greatly appreciate it. and your washing to use a cell a lot more to share with you here's what's coming up a look at inside nigeria's pentecostal maker churches is their focus on financial rather it is spiritual salvation exploiting christian worshippers.

that story and a whole lot more coming up after these messages. the world economic forum twenty eight seen on us here on from hanoi vietnam. you know heard it remove all d.w. presents a high profile panel discussion hosted by i'm reaching out to. accelerating inequality reduction sort of when you have the d.w. to make at the world economic forum fun asia. big question in forty five minutes w. things on beethoven. his work and the goddess fortuna. the

munchies and things should. be tovan finished wrong the twenty. third for students school in the jungle. or first clueless. and then gore's grand moment to run and join the arena tango on her journey. you know we're interested you don't gingerly need to run in the rain and returns home. you can get all the way you want to do you want me to write you silly thank you so much a lot of thinking. oh my god thank you thank you thank you. thank you our. thanks to our thanks.

thanks. great to have you back with us you're watching you know when you sound like a long rock and berlin these are headlines right now. with six months until breaks it see you council president alters tells britain it needs to look again at elements of its withdrawal offer says proposals relating to the irish border and future trade ties need reworking. now in football europe's most prestigious club competition the champion's league has returned and you can expect from date every sport is here to talk us through the games get to see our nic a shock and dortmund kicked off the competition yesterday how that they do yes it

was an experience not for both clubs dortmund they managed to get a win against club bruges a late goal got no one no victory but it was an unconvincing performance from dortmund bruce were much the better team especially in the first half but a lucky like gold christian policy the ball came off his shin and into the goal after a defender tried to clear the laws that secured the victory but they'll need to do a lot better to go far in this competition and as we say. they had a one one draw against porter but there were a lot of positives for them brill and below he scored a great run away go and although porter did it cause with a light penalty there was a lot to build on for the shock when they returned to the champions league and i think they can take some poses on for this for the next round and more german teams are playing today indeed so hoffenheim as we speak playing shock to the nets a bit more on that later but. in just under about half an hour or so they're coming up against benfica the portuguese giants and yeah i guess by and looking to win

these competitions for the trying to get off to a very strong start in this competition this season. recent seasons despite. appearances in. big name coaches have failed to add titles. in his first champions league campaign coach nico is aiming to triumph where his predecessors tumbled into so when we want to start in the group stage just as we did in the bundesliga this will help build the confidence will need to carry into the next games on the know who needs students who can. coaches first test it's benfica who won the tournament twice in the one nine hundred sixty s. these days however they're content with making it through to the knockout rounds byron have never lost to benfica but coach rui victoria is looking to spring in upset. what can make the difference is we can be

a team a team that believes in what it's doing. we must respect the opponent but also in some moments of the game we have to have the arrogance of wanting to win the match . in his injury depleted side face their toughest test yet and biron success this season will be judged by just how far they go in europe's top competition. well let's pick up where that report left off how do you see byron's chances well they've got off to a good start the one three of their first three games in the bundesliga and they do have a relatively easy group as well they have things and i aks in the group as well as benfica so they should get through that fairly easily but there's big question marks over this ponting the first is obviously nico that she's never managed in the

champions league so it's a big task for him to win at the first time of asking then on top of that there's a few injuries upon have to contend with of loss to lease so. and come on in recent weeks huge blows in their long term injuries and then on top of that they don't really have a lot of competition in the bonus league and this is a problem as well for clubs like p.s.g. when you don't have. tough games wake in wake luck and don't have in the bundesliga it's tough to step up for those big games against big clubs so i think there's a lot going against them but it's a coach's first year and maybe beginners luck will get them through what has the you know it's exact i was going to say i'm going to select there are half and i'm yes five well just playing as we speak out and they've just conceded a light goal against shakhtar donetsk the nec i missed two two and i have said previously that i think all the normal find it tough to get through the champions league group they've also got to play man city and leone and so that's a pretty it's a tough loss for them to go through but they have

a very bright young manager and he's only thirty one he is the youngest manager to ever coached in the champions league and hopefully has a few tricks up his sleeves i think he can spring a few upsets in this group but i don't think they'll have enough to get through unfortunately what are some of the other games that we should keep an eye out on yes so in also just on half an hour there's real madrid verse roma so these are the defending champions coming up against last year's semifinalists and that's an exciting fixture there should be a few goals in that one and you know we'll see how that goes that pans out thank you so messianic catch up to you tomorrow thank you. art to nigeria now and the booming business of worship the country's pentecostal churches are packing in believers every weekend with a message of economic hope in tough times but the focus on charismatic pastors and the price tag that comes with regular attendance has worried mainstream christian

critics funny fish are where for reports from doubt in nigeria's ogun state. a typical sunday for some forty million nigerians. to. celebrate you just you can feel your welcoming teams of people into one of the roughly five hundred pentecostal churches in the country i'm joining a service today in one of these mega churches just outside of lagos it's the third biggest one in nigeria already the church service it is a good deal. it was. fifty fifty now that. the service starts all it's rather quietly but people don't stay in their seats for long. the pastor calls himself a bishop here and he's celebrated like

a stock david asked him a to growth a one hundred fifty million us dollars and many of his followers you're in for that kind of. was prosperity gospel resonates with. those who are going to let that is. this does frustrate start you know should tell your son no no it's. the big donation baskets fill quickly the belief is the more you give during and after the church service the more you're going with. the church there are many more ways to spend money how about all the while sold for five dollars per bottle this is not to eat it is to put on your hat why. is the course. like it's not like. keno for anything but once you believe i use the oil walk for you if cure sickness sees. any pentecostal

churches compete for members each promises academic salvation a solution and people want to believe in them especially in times of hardship. god jesus that's also the first billboard you see when you entered the university of lagos prices fall aco is a professor of religious studies he says nigeria is one of the most religious countries in africa but he's concerned about the focus of pentecostal churches is dangerous because. everything revolves around a pastor and then the tendency. to shift you know. the pastoral and not got. a lot of style of the pastor becomes this turned out not out of christ people's faith is being exploited and converted into a commercial business the price tag most of these pastors are not there to serve.

us and question some of the practices. to support themselves that jesus was not born the best of these. churches are not trick wired to pay taxes but you don't rise in extreme poverty so politicians want to change that still it's a highly unpopular idea will those who believe a positive change is only possible through their faith and know there. are have years here now where the business headlines and we're talking trade barriers but not terror this time at least but i will have possibly terrorists later on a way for african farmers face many hurdles if they want to export their products to the e.u. we're going to take a look at kenya for example agriculture is one of the backbones of the east african countries economy the e.u. alone imports a billion euros worth of green beans peppers chilies and mangoes every year but for kenyans to sell them there the produce has to meet all e.u.

requirements a goal many can only dream. the vegetables at this street market in nairobi look juicy and good for you but the european union would never accept these farmers produce any new regulations are to blame other regulations concerning hygiene fertilizer and pesticides farmer my cookie emma has been trying to export his mangoes to europe for a long time but the e.u. standards make it hard no matter how much pesticides he uses the majority of the harvest won't meet european standards. as european market and we. need all of that is to add to or about the market by the op and the hurdles for kenyan farmers who want to export to the e.u. are extremely high according to hussain much rupie from the fresh produce exporter association it's indeed expensive because you need more money to get. additional to

sites you need woman need to get the tops you need you need more money to do the building especially for small of us farming is an important sector for kenya the kenyan government offers farmers special training on how to get their produce ready for sale in the e.u. they can learn about the requirements like those concerning pesticides it's not just about which pesticide to use it's also about using the proper amount. then kenyan authorities check before export whether the e.u. directives have been observed. if the permitted limit of pesticide residue is exceeded the produce is rejected. or worse in your hands farmers and exporters know only too well that washing hands

or choosing the right pesticide is not enough the goods should also be beautiful not too big not too small without stains like a picture book foods that don't meet these criteria don't make the cut we have good quality fresh produce from this country so. it may not look. as nice as you would want to see so. nutritious food or what. looking food mango farm or my cookie emma can sell just ten percent of his harvest to the e.u. he earns only two cents per mango the rest goes for transport middlemen and the supermarkets but he intends to continue working on his flawless mangoes for europe . when it comes to electric cars germany still lags far behind its

target of having a million of them on the roads by twenty twenty and i know what you're thinking maybe it's because they're just ugly but that's not the reason the industry is trying to step up its game and still aims to take the lead role here german car maker dime london home for its mercedes-benz brand has just opened a new testing facility in the southern german town of amending it chancellor angela merkel was on hand to see its latest range of electronic cars. the german chancellor didn't arrive in an electric car herself but rather a helicopter yet the development of the across germany is so important to american rush to the south of the country for the opening of the new diamond e-card testing grounds. we have to build confidence because the best immobility technologies are no use people still have the impression they could become stuck somewhere or that the engine technology could be unsafe soon all of germany's gas stations will have charging stations so our roadways will be well equipped for electric vehicles. and that's. already

before the end of twenty eight team germany is scheduled to have the world's first nationwide network of charging stations in place but the german government is a long way from its self-imposed school of getting one million electric and hybrid engine vehicles on the roads by twenty twenty on wednesday politicians postponed their initial goal setting a new aim of twenty twenty two instead at the moment there are only three hundred thirty five thousand electric and hybrid vehicles on the road in germany. this might be due to the fact that german manufacturers are producing few electric or hybrid models in recent weeks audi b.m.w. and dimler have made strides to counter this but their new electric vehicles will be expensive and the large price tag isn't likely to usher in rapid change among consumers. well if you don't want to drive maybe go by train the future of railway

travel is on display here in berlin the biannual in no trans fare showcases new technologies and some comfortable options for travelers things are getting less comfortable for german train makers though they largely depend on exporting their technology spot competition from abroad is getting on the way. stumble into the inner trans trade fair and you'd be forgiven for thinking it's little more than a lot of men looking at a lot of trades but many of these people are transport experts keenly the competition they're excited about what they can see and what they can touch and they're checking out the newest mechanisms to connect one train carriage to another device known as the coupling charcoals that's good doesn't mean they're sharp go from sounds good to eddie and we're looking at the couplings on all the trains here is about this train is really interesting because the couplings are relatively small on my colleagues going right in their face and he's two meters tall surrogate sit down. the sector is booming including here in germany fifty thousand employees

cheap that could undermine u.s. president trump's ambition to make the u.s. a global energy leader last year china was the world's second largest importer of l n g after japan and slightly ahead of south korea asia is an important market for american suppliers so the chinese tariffs will hurt them the new tariffs also target u.s. meat and wheat so farmers will be affected as well a move that didn't go down well at the white house trump tweeted halt china has openly stated that they are actively trying to impact and change our election by attacking all farmers ranchers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me and quote china's retaliatory tariffs by hitting where it hurts so i've been to farmers who are among the targets in the first round of beijing's tit for tat tariffs are now receiving aid from the us government to help offset major losses tech companies are also why despite being unscathed for now apple's products for

instance are not on the list but many business leaders are concerned they fear the terrorists could disrupt supply chains so they are warning the trump administration against further escalation of the trade dispute. a time for business and we have to back to fank you javier seven years ago the right wing terrorist under said brave ache carried out one of the deadliest attacks in european history killing seventy seven people most of them teenagers at a summer camp on the norwegian island. on now two new very different films are trying to tell the story of that massacre and grapple with its a legacy you july twenty two for now each director eric puffer is released in june . in theaters this week the film is shot in a single take that is exactly seventy two minutes long the precise duration of

the real life attack on. a second film twenty two july from hollywood director paul greengrass takes a more conventional approach following the story before during or shortly after the attack when brave a kid is put on trial for his crimes this is for change. and scott roxboro from our culture desk is here good to see you why i turn this particular traumatic event into movie yeah i mean it's still fairly recent seven years ago and i think we all remember of the news footage have also been some documentary approaches to this to tell the story for both the directors of the norwegian director paul greengrass who's more famous for his hollywood movies they both said the same thing actually they said they wanted to pay tribute to the survivors and to the victims of this tragedy particularly the six one hundred years who were killed on the island of latoya but they also said both said that they

wanted to create a permanent. record also of this of this event so that people would remember that this credibly important event probably the most traumatic event in always in history since the second world war would not be forgotten so documentation basically a dozen patients but also a way of holding it memory and and retaining the history of the what did you make of the norwegian rendition it's both both these to. very different approaches and pop of the norwegian director makes decisions from the get go that he's not going to show anything of great that he's not going to show the the crime the criminal himself at all he's only going to take the perspective of the victims so you have no sense of no political context it's all. yes the victim says what happens is a real time. yeah seventy two minute terror threat really where you're put

right in the perspective of one of the one of the victims as she tries to escape death essentially very harrowing that footage that we're showing here and now it's i mean that phone that cell phone ringing in the back yeah no i mean this this film i don't think i've experienced anything like it it's it's it's i mean you can't you can barely breathe during you know a gut wrenching really really harrowing i think for me. the best word it was it's you don't really think about it you just literally feel it you feel the terror you have the sense that death is is around the next train very very poignant talk to us about the hollywood version paul greengrass who's well known for the jason bourne films but he has also done a lot of films based on real events including united ninety three which is about the nine eleven attacks. his approach is more conventional he takes a look at both the the attacks but also very crucially there aftermath and how the norwegian society really reacted to the attacks i think we have a clip while we take

a quick look at the green grass. in the months with beauty you've heard about the bombing the city. i mean some security i would. like to go and see your id yes sure. was that. perhaps whatever your. silly reason. just repeating. this is richard. i just. can't work don't stand strong. i still. hold. true things. and frames. issues that if. you saw the green grass film and venice with as you make of it i thought it was very very good i mean. as

is known for some his action movies but here he takes a much more restrained approach he doesn't make this into a hugely dramatic he just lets the story speak for itself else doesn't really get sentimental or embrace cliche and i was very impressed by it and it's interesting because he really wants to tell the story of the norwegian society and how it reacted to this and particularly the idea that unlike the united states after nine eleven no we didn't brace hate and they didn't try to go to war instead they stuck to their principles of justice and openness and at the film festival and then stopped us when he presented the film greengrass said that even if they want to pay tribute to the survivors who instead of confronting brave it with violence as he did try to challenge his ideas we have a clip of it a listen well of things i want to show in this film was the way that those young people we depicted to really are and. many young people who courageously

went into court to testify precisely to defeat breivik on the level of ideas and that is tomorrow struggle and and they are going to have to prevail and i believe i will by the way because i'm very optimistic. so which one of these two movies sammy's difficult to pick they did a better job of doing justice to what what unfolded i think they're both very very good films credibly well made and they both do what they're trying to do very very well i think they're both we're seeing. i only have a couple of small ethical issues with the norwegian film because he leaves out all talk of politics i mean brave vic was a like is a white supremacist he killed those kids because he wanted to end multiculturalism in norway that was very clear there's none of that context here so watching this film if you didn't have any idea what happened and you toy you could see just as a horror movie i think that would be a big problem but both these films are very very good i think you should see both of them and then maybe discuss them the norwegian film comes out in germany this

week and the talking press home is out on netflix all right thank you so much scott for that and thank you for spending this part of your day with us the news continues right after this.
