a figure jump than anywhere else in the world. and water the world anti-doping agency lifts a ban on russia's drug testing laboratory despite widespread opposition russian track and field athletes haven't completed under their country's plan since twenty fifty. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us dozens of people have died after a ferry carrying more than four hundred passengers sank thursday on lake victoria in tanzania and waters the death toll is expected to rise further as rescue efforts continue on friday about one hundred people have been rescued so far thirty two are said to be in critical condition the terri sank near the shore between the islands of korra and. the overloaded vessel reportedly capsized when passengers clustered

on one side. or more of the story we're joined by d.w. correspondent catherine. roby catherine what's the latest you're hearing from the disaster site well terry just to give you an update so far what we know is that rescue efforts resume to this morning at the link victoria so far at least thirty seven people have been rescued forty four bodies have been retrieved what we know so far is the president has offered a statement condoling with the families of the affected families of this particular tragedy and asking people to stay calm as investigations continue and rescue efforts continue. do we know why the boat sank in the first place.

well the main reason why. the ferry capsized according to local authorities is that it was overcrowded. recent reports that. the ferry had undergone maintainance in recent days so it was it wasn't about the past the maintainance of the ferry but rather the overloading of the ferry it has a capacity of one hundred people and obviously there were hundreds more than that on the ferry at the time of the incident and this includes a lot of cargo as well so the ferry was overloaded by four understand ferry disasters or rather common tory. over loading these purchased one reason why these are so called. well such

incidences of not uncommon in this particular area especially for thames. and again mainly been blamed on overcrowding. in two thousand and twelve at least one hundred forty five people died when their ship their ferry capsized and sank off the shores of zanzibar which is a semi autonomous island belonging to time and in one thousand nine hundred ninety six at the lake victoria another ship capsized killing at least five hundred people so these incidences i'm not uncommon and then only blamed on overcrowding ok catherine thank you so much from the studios katherine i'm wonder there in nairobi . now some other stories making headlines around the world today thousands of pro independence demonstrators have rallied in barcelona to mark one year since the spanish government crackdown on catalonia is succession and push protesters

demanded that jail activists be released from prison nine still remain in custody on charges of rebellion and abuse of power. vietnamese president trond day quoting has died at the age of sixty one according to state media president kong had suffered a serious illness and had been treated both at home and abroad he served as president from april to any sixteen. and thousands of protesters have marched in guatemala city against corruption protests comes after president jimmy brown has decided to end the work of the u.n. anti corruption commission it had led high profile graft probes targeting dozens of powerful watermelons including ramos and so. authorities in peru have recovered more than seven hundred ancient artifacts which had been stolen from the country they include prehistoric relics from various lost civilizations in the

andean nation the items were repatriated from europe the u.s. and other latin american countries. average and low income earners around the world are struggling with rising rents and a supply shrinking supply of affordable housing germany is no different and today a chance well i'm going to back a letter ministers are getting together with property developers and lobby groups to address what has already become a pressing issue for many german families last year berlin was the city with the past is growing property prices in the world prices here jumped by twenty percent in just one year three other german cities hamburg munich and frankfurt were also in the top ten more affordable accommodation is desperately need. added that's why the chancellor has pledged to invest five billion euros into housing and she's promised to build one point five million affordable homes over the next three years but unions and tennis association say those targets won't be reached they accuse

the government of not doing enough to create affordable living space for people on low income. and apartment viewing in the much hyped building district of noise we're only allowed to film the floor it's a two room class on the ground level eight hundred fifty euros a month old included some of these interested tenants have been searching for months. is really really really really hard that your salary must to be treated as more than their rent. and we know that we really need the one of the most desperate city with a lot of an unknown employer. or so the salary where when you work they are not so high they are into this what's my impression. it's on the ground floor. facing east or it doesn't get much natural light i find it expensive for what it is. but the demand for living space in berlin is

enormous it's estimated the city needs an extra one hundred seventy thousand apartments that's forcing rental prices up. those looking for a flat have few options for many home hunting is a full time job. i remember accountable in ten years ago finding an apartment was an easy one the first apartment i rented had two rooms and it cost only five hundred euro now prices doubled. in this house in hip prinsloo our burg residence refused to accept the threat of higher rents through posters and protests base excess fully campaigned against a new investor trying to buy the building. looking for new movies and quite fun to get seen as a person would expose we saw a group of possible investors and they were walking through the house with investment procedures speaking options we knew we had to do some things. because we

didn't want to see if back and wait in half the year investors could buy the house and renovators away this year we have one in here that you could say that if we lived here for dibley rosa goes to the school nearby this is where we have our community our friends we had to start thinking about moving our entire lives somewhere else guns were under sworn in this. such worries brought the house together some freelancers live here they pay six euros per square meter a month in some nearby buildings rents are almost double prices few here could afford but now a public housing company has agreed to buy the building rents will still increase but only by a fraction it's a happy ending for these tenants but they want politicians to do more for the rest of berlin. it's fundamental that housing isn't too expensive that people can have a roof over their heads and diverse groups of people can still afford to live in

this city. the campaign banners are still hanging on the building they're sending a message to other tenants about why it's important to join together and fight for their rights. european leaders have rejected a brags that plan drawn up at great political cost by british prime minister theresa may at a summit in the twenty seven remaining members argue that may's so-called checkers plan would undermine the unions single market the move broadsided may who had hoped for encouragement ahead of the british conservative party conference she'll now have to contend with an emboldened right wing of her party as briggs it looms in march. it all looked so friendly and polite at the outset there certainly was common interest to come up with the brics a deal regarding britain's future relationship with the european union but that didn't happen here. it will have to happen at a make or break meeting in a month. european council president donald rejected britain's plan regarding its

future relationship with the e.u. the british would like to benefit from frictionless trade even though they won't be part of the multinational bloc anymore to support cold water on what britain once every about the shah of the view of the positive elements in that proposed. this subsystem framework for economic cooperation. locally is because it's with the single market the e.u. itself would like to continue having seamless trade with northern ireland as if it were still in the single market and customs union however the british prime minister rejected that as her government feels it would economically and constitutionally isolate the u.k. she didn't hesitate to mention the other scenario if there is no agreement on a deal that is acceptable to the united kingdom then preparing for a new deal i believe we can get a good deal i believe there is

a growing desire to sit down and ensure that we can achieve a deal french president emmanuel mccall rejected may stand especially as she stated that this is the only deal coming from britain. and we must defend the single market its coherence and we have reaffirmed our desire not to give up on this matter. this is both in our short medium and long term interests if it on there is a vital political and economic interest for the european union in this regard we are today at an hour of truth which will be. and the truth can hurt how much we'll know at the next summit in october. the world anti-doping agency wada has voted to lift a ban on russia's anti doping agency the move paves the way for russian athletes to return to track and field competitions and for the country to host major sporting

events the banned had been in place since two thousand and fifteen. the biggest doping scandal in sports history might be coming to an end the russian anti-doping agency will be reinstated pending some final technicality the decision has been heavily criticised by various athletes and national anti doping agencies but is being celebrated in russia. feel assured this is a first step the important one it opens the way to our sportsmen and our federations to participate in sports competitions moreover it opens an opportunity to host international competitions on russian territory. just before the twenty sixteen rio olympics what it investigates a richard mclaren revealed russia had adopted a state sponsored doping program in the lead up to the saatchi games he concluded more than one thousand russian athletes across thirty sports benefited from the program. very quickly we learned that there was

a lot more going on than just what went on it so she once we learned and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised. at the potential scope of what was going on. but what it has now backed down from its demands for russia to accept the mclaren report in order for the ban on its love for a tree to be lifted and restart it has agreed to hand over its samples and historical data for further investigation by the end of the year with that key condition met the executive committee of water has chosen to place its trust in her saga but it may be a decision that puts the agency's reputation at stake. or for more on the russian dubbing story we've got mccambridge from v.w. sports here good morning what did you think when you heard that water had lifted the ban on russia's. doping agency well i just find this completely unsurprising i

think the right has been on the wall for this decision since june. the b.b.c. uncovered letters between the water president craig reedie and russian sports minister is essentially offering a compromise on the previously agreed conditions for risottos reinstatement now you have to watch the software was the tough stance here they had an opportunity here to lay down the line and they've just totally missed it and anti-doping experts have come out to speak about thursday's decision they've called things up the will to ring inexplicable premature and i have to say i agree with every single one of those you know russia continues to deny the allegations of running a state sponsored doping program for some observers looking at this from outside this looks like a case of water just caving in to the russians is that what happened in my opinion absolutely they have i mean originally russia were given two to keep conditions that they had to me in order for risotto to be reinstated the first was to accept

the findings of the mclaren report and the second was to hand over their laboratory to water so that historic data and samples could be tested and you know athletes that were previously involved could be properly tested and punished in a retrospective lee if need be now they've done neither of those things they never accepted the findings of the mclaren report instead they just admitted failings on their part and they yet to turn their lap of it's a water so for me it's an absolutely baffling decision. after this decision i mean people we do want good athletics right will this be easier now for russian elites to go forward to compete almost certainly i mean the international athletics federation is meeting in december to make a farnell decision on whether or not these russian athletes are going to be allowed to compete as a twenty eight nineteen but i think while the have just completely removed the justification for any further ban so it would be stunned if these athletes want greenlit to carry on competing in future and what about hosting major sporting

events is it now going to be easier for russia to do that i think it's extremely likely that russia would just kind of carry on as normal they can to care. bidding for major international competitions just as they always would i mean let's be forget that actually hosted the world cup this year i mean it was an incredibly positive tournament for russia to host they've come out they look incredibly good light so of course they going to want to bid for more things in future and now i don't think there's anything stopping them thanks so much cambridge from dave obvious sports. well the europa league group stage kicked off on thursday with match day one featuring three bonus league teams in the battle of the red bowls salzberg down light six three two with a goal in the waning minutes both clubs are funded largely by the austrian energy drink company red bull leverkusen beat ball gary inside ludo goritz three two. bag to brace in the come from behind victory and earlier frankfurt grabbed it

to want to weigh win against marsay lukas toro and luke are your bitch each hit the target for an talked. over to turkey's worsening economic woes as martelly also took you shop because it's growth for cost for this year and next in the house today turkish finance minister of iraq threatens to berlin today carrying some heavy konami luggage the lira has plunged by forty percent this year over concerns of a president they're the ones influence on monetary policy and there's a deep rift with the united states inflation is now above twenty percent and the situation is getting was every day as a correspondent julia found out in istanbul. sic on new knowledge is stuff still have work to do but it gets harder by the day eight years ago he set up on his own as a silversmith in istanbul each piece is hand crafted it's hard work and until

recently it's paid off. but the currency crisis has changed everything silver has to be imported and paid for in dollars as a result the cost has skyrocketed and with people worried about their finances they're buying less jewelry. to move you know if we were to sing half as much as last year. under in the red in terms of profit. but other people are even worse off i've had people who've had to shut down their businesses coming to me to ask if i can take on some of their stuff. in one market for the money but i have the question really is what i think if you want to use the move will be your small businesses like nazar especially badly his but larger companies are struggling to the lyrics to klein has made loans taken action dollars or euros far harder to pay back all over turkey people can see that the notes coming out of the

a.t.m. are losing value. phones have become more expensive they now cost fifteen hundred two thousand lire more than before as well as food transport everything. to call it the truth which in all the chocolate i buy for the kids first it cost one lira and one fifteen now it costs to layer a market even at a discount supermarkets are no longer. market that aren't elected at the moment the answer is that he companies are pretty much robbing us blind they put their prices up every month to the mcleods carom alcan is an economist and business columnist of the pro-government newspaper sabah he admits that there are problems but he insists it's not the president's fault and that the conditions for recovery are in place. the model of the growth for the next one and the whole few years mostly be about the resume and export effects for the groups we will find

a way to decrease the government expenditures and after the position period you will begin to see easily two point five four percent or higher than four percent for the turkish g.d.p. growth between two thousand and twenty two two thousand and twenty three for second twenty twenty three could be too late he's not even sure if his business will be able to stay afloat until the end of this year. so plenty of problems there and i'm now joined by. union chief economist stuff as ours in the bank and joins us from frankfurt cost the turkish finance minister is in berlin today what does he want from germany botany bring back what is an economic crisis so i think you need three sorts of support first from the turkish

voters millions of which are residing in germany second economic supporter that their country needs very very much and germany is. a turkey's most important trading partner and third political supporter on an international level because that that is something turkey does not have especially not from the us at this stage you know you mentioned the us turkey is blaming the u.s. for their economic crisis do they have a point. not at all the economic crisis is something of whole making it is being caused by a policy said that they lead to the economy overheat by too low interest rates by too low currency reserves and by tool high current account deficit the sanctions the u.s. has a post was just one little thing that added to all of this but it was not the root

cause of the crisis how come berlin help in that. water i guess. is important for berlin is the way we still have the refugee crisis in europe or so or there is something where germany needs support from turkey where we have still we are we are in a military alliance with turkey in a period where the wood and mortar literalism is falling apart and so i think our strength thing aligns or strengthening economic and political ties between germany and turkey are in their mutual benefit very briefly if you can how dangerous is the situation for southern european banks was still have believed s'posed in turkey well some especially spanish it's dangerous for those banks that i believe our

banking system is more robust so it wouldn't be dangerous for the system it's a constant use that thank you very much. the migration situation here in europe was high on the agenda at the e.u. leaders summit in austria on thursday the big challenge how can we the millions of migrants who have arrived here be integrated into european societies most experts agree the key is to get them into work and quickly very often small businesses are leading the way in that field because they're having trouble filling vacancies. example from bavaria shows. them. driving large amounts of beer around that slum in seventies main job. he's employed by the hallowed brewery . i'm sure proud about helen a a just because of big news from the knowledge how to walk. as you and

i deplore bitch or show are so kind to me. really a tribute to a got fried ham they hired him three years ago he needed people for simple unskilled labor. just love it i mean seventy seventy has been working for the company since march of twenty fifteen is a good worker after him we hired three more refugees. the migrants are young and they learn quickly but for hallett the social aspect also plays a role he pays for the refugees german classes and ensures that they find accommodation. by stuff that is all we do the job is most important they have a structured day they have their own money that is important i talk a lot to the refugees and they all say that they do not want to depend on the payments they would get from the german state. the chamber of industry and commerce

has established a network with the aim of integrating migrants into the labor market that this is deposits by fact there are two motivators for the companies to commit themselves socially and to contribute to society and the other is quite simply the lack of specialists many enterprises need people and they simply found an exciting target group a lot of young people who want to build something for themselves. and i mean seventy and his colleagues grows between one thousand eight hundred and two thousand euros a month depending on how many hours they work and after being here so long the new one say they almost feel like they're from here. british luxury comic aston martin says it is seeking a valuation of five point seven billion. uro's when it goes public next month the comic a framus as the purveyor of fine costs of the james bond franchise will become the
