from latin america tell me diana and even. they have been honored for exposing abuse of power and prosecution of corruption in guatemala three imprisoned saudi arabian rights activists are also among the laureates. cottony and volleyed head honored for their efforts to reform the to tell it to tallaght area and political system in saudi arabia they're all currently in jail for france's that include disobeying the ruler and harming the reputation of the state by communicating with international organizations yacoob do a final form been keen afonso received award for turning barren land into forest and demonstrating how farmers can regenerate this soil using local knowledge he is known as the man who stopped the death. and the australian dumbest tilney in audio is recognized by the jury for his work fighting deforestation and deserted vacation

in africa as sahil region let's take a closer look at how tilney renowned has work to see that he's pioneered a simple but effective solution to deforestation that is the nickname off the forest make up and now this technique involves growing up trees from existing root systems which are often still intact by choosing the right plants and by pruning and protecting them in a certain way they can soon grow into trees using a simple set of management practice is taught they now do farmers can regenerate and protect existing local vegetation he believes it has the potential to restore degraded dry lands with an area the combined size of india he is in his own words talking about the success of one project in northern ethiopia so what we see here in this valley is a wonderful example of integrated approach through resilience and livelihoods this

is a deep valley with state hills that started the soil erosion control at the top of the hill very important to reduce the speed of the water flowing off those hills so that the contour banks they put in check their hands. before they started all this work there's no grass at all this was just sand but the soil moisture levels increased and that's been unable them to bring it out of species that we can benefit from and this is very very useful pasture land paperwork very vulnerable in the eighty's and around that time it fluctuated between experiencing traps one year and then it's a degree instead of soaking into the ground as it does now it would flood often even if they had a successful crop growing it would be destroyed by the floods so there was starvation people didn't die the environment so in interview. check bands growing trees through f.m. an hour and planting all of these activities have. acted like

a buffer to the variation in the weather so that when there's a drought it's less severe its impact is less severe because this moisture to draw from in the soil and when there's a year of heavy rainfall it doesn't have that opportunity to of course damaging floods because it's court at every level coming down the valley. there are a lot of sad stories and famine and trap and all the rest but what paper achieved in a very low rainfall area under extremely harsh conditions shows that if you work with nature miracles are possible you can turn the landscape around even try. regional instrumented or irregular rainfall you can turn that around when you work with nature to make it a highly productive and stable system that's joining me now is giuliani cronin she's

a jury member all for the right livelihood what she joins me from bonn welcome to the debbie juliana what made these women as standout. well we think that in those times where we have dramatic environmental decline in failing political leadership they're really doing trailblazing work in terms of accountability democracy and really reforestation. at the right let's go to war foundation we always look for people who come up with practical solutions and to also address the root causes of the problems they're working on and we found this group tremendously effective doing scalable work being beacons of hope as we call them and showing really the way forward into a different and better future how difficult it is it's to make a selection of the win as. well this year we had over one hundred seven really eligible applications from over fifty countries and as you might know we don't have

a fixed category for the a word so it's difficult. but again we're looking for those who really have the scale who really come up with solutions which can serve on a broader scale as you mentioned our honorary rights laureate honorary laureates what they have done in guatemala as a role model for other countries with similar issues so we actually look for what is the scale and the scope that can achieve those were i mean it's always a tough decision i mean the jury it's for good reasons that we deliberate for three days. it's always the tough decisions and others we simply cannot award but we feel that we have a very very strong group of florence this year and it is a little bit more about the criteria for these of all odds. well as i said one of the things as is it a model or is that what they're doing is it really working has it been around for

a while can the prove that they're not just you know one day flies or it's not just a campaign is it really showing changes it really showing impact. that's the dimension of the work. and then we look is how is the person i mean that there are many people who have great ideas and do great things in terms of changing the world but we also look for people with us as individuals are role models and show that integrity and engagement to move things forward. so it's about staying there i mean you might know that we have a lot of laureates work on sustainability issues so look is that sustainable what they're doing and actually quite a few of the laureates we feed following them for for a number of years before we finally make the decisions juliana cronan a jury member for the right livelihood awards it is a pleasure to have you with us on the w. thanks for inviting me thank you. ken but in

a deal over the future of germany's domestic spy chief appears to have preserved. as fragile government the coalition had been holding crisis talks of what to do with hans mohsen after his controversial remarks about the far right violence and early every month that transpired mohsen to a higher ranking job with maupin had met with public outrage americans interior minister informed waiting genesis of lawson's new assignment off to the weekend's negotiations. arriving to deliver a compromise a new solution to end the uncertainty over the future of germany soon to be former domestic intelligence chief the youths if you put it into the current president of the federal office for the protection of the constitution. will henceforth serve a special advisor to the interior minister with the rank of department head there he will be responsible for european and international matters to get into another one of the scrutiny said. last week there were calls for hands masson

to be sacked after he apparently downplayed recent violence in the city of cam that he was to be removed from his post and then set to get a promotion in the interior ministry that sparked widespread public anger prompting munich goshi ations between i'm going to merkel c.d.u. their bavarian sister party c.s.u. led by hostile and the social democrats s.p.d. leader. gave her reaction in berlin following the whole face and that cement thing. i have spoken again with the c.d.u. c.s.u. leaders and i think that it's a very good sign that we took the criticism of our decision on tuesday seriously and could result it i would like to thank i'm going to call and horsey hoffa for taking up my initiative. initiative that in theory

at least should spell the end of the massive crisis and help lift the latest cloud over i'm going to merkel's government. for more on this story i'm joined by the political correspondent simon young welcome simon so mohsin was still in the interior ministry but he will not get a promotion do you think this compromise will work and will actually. lessen the outrage being felt by the public over this issue well i think it's going to silence some of those particularly in the social democrat party who are very angry that their leader had agreed to allow mohsen to move to a better paid job which incidentally would have meant that. another man in the interior ministry one of the s.p.d. supporters because senior civil servants have an open party affiliation he would have had to move to another job so it wouldn't have been a good solution for them now. keep the same pay grade and that would

keep the conservatives happy to why this episode about his domestic spy chief cause so much of anger and outrage in germany well i think because it links to this question of migration that a lot of people are focused on here in germany at the moment particularly the idea that intentionally or otherwise comments by hand scale for instance questioning the authenticity of a video showing migrants being chased down the street that those kind of comments have given. anti immigrant feeling and indeed to far right groups in this country so it's really touched a raw nerve but i think in truth if you ask the man in the street as it were what he thinks about this probably if he's outraged about anything it's not so much about what job this man gets but the incompetence of the political leadership given

all of that the government seems to have averted a get in on the political crisis with this new deal but how damaging has this episode been for the coalition well i think the government does look pretty bruised this morning there have been three crisis meetings within ten days you know squabbling about jobs when you know there are plenty of tough issues climate change france and just to name but one for the government to get on with and there's a sense that with this internal wrangling this is a government that is concerned more with itself with dealing with the problems that face the country so i think there's a lot of work for politicians to do that. these political correspondent thank you very much for that analysis. this is in latvia today the second stop on his four day visit to the border to states he's visiting with three countries as they mark hundred has since been independence from russia after the first world war

the pontiff arrived in latvia as captain riga just a short while ago he meet the country's president and later when to math in the village off. before arriving in latvia francis spent two days in the three india where he addressed the atrocities committed by the nazis during the summer occupation his message to the faithful remember the suffering as a way to god against hate in today's political landscape. as many as one hundred thousand people attended pope francis's mass encounter a huge turnout but it's less than half the number of lithuania's jews murdered in the holocaust lithuania uses this day when seventy five years ago the nazis fully liquidated the ghetto in the capital vilnius to remember that destruction it was the pope's moment to remind the country now eighty percent catholic of the dangers of forgetting the murder of more than two hundred thousand jews but you know more and more let us think back on those times and ask the lord to give us the benefit

of hindsight to prevent the return of that resurgent attitude. we must remove any with of anti-semitism among those who did not experience the holocaust and can therefore be seduced. the pope prayed silently of the vilnius ghetto memorial and met members of lithuania's jewish community today numbering about three thousand people one woman who survived the ghettos liquidation now ninety six years old was the. lever. this is important. it's shameful that in the world today there are people who say the holocaust is a lie that there were no ghettos and no such thing happened but what is most important is that the pope came here and prayed. that he supports us morally you know god oh that's right yeah. pope francis then told a former k.g.b.

prison in vilnius it's now a museum documenting the hundreds of millions from a murdered burner and thousands more include many priests shipped off to forced labor camps in siberia the soviets for decades occupation is still fresh from a little rain ians. we other but all it's and we really appreciate that then on the pope on the what can follow in the pendency actually before father freed on and especially the politician as a christianity it actually helped us. to fight against their soviet regime and their. pope will end his trip with a visit to learn to understand. if you are traveling but francis hopes his message to remember will still resonate. that's been i'll bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild u.s.

dispute between the world's two biggest economies here it is in a nutshell. the dispute has escalated dramatically since this meeting between the american president and his chinese counterpart changing ping almost a year ago. so what's happened since then and what it meant for both economies let's take a look last year the u.s. imported five hundred five billion dollars worth of goods from china back in june trying to impose tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of them as of today further gigi's have come into effect on another two hundred billion dollars worth of goods on the other side to china its imports from the u.s. in twenty seventeen totaled one hundred twenty nine billion dollars in the summer china responded to u.s. tires by imposing duties on some fifty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods. and now it's retaliation again by adding judy's to a further sixty billion dollars of u.s. products. meanwhile the war of words continues to. here's what u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei o had to say about the trade war when he appeared on fox news on sunday. we know this much the trade war on by china against the united states has been going on for years. here's what's different in the same ministration to the extent one wants to call this a trade war we are determined to win it china for its part accuses the united states of bullying with no sign of a less than the tit for tat spot economists say the real losers in this trade battle could ultimately be consumers in both countries. well earlier i spoke to clean mints food to president of the eco institute alike and its institute for economic research at the university of munich and i started by asking him how washington and beijing could resolve this trade without losing face good

morning yes this is going to be very difficult because needs to be seen by his supporters as someone who is tough on the chinese on chinese imports but was one of his promises probably the chinese will yes react but try not to escalate this. so what i would expect is that this will take some time i think the next crucial moment will be the end of the year when trump will have to decide will these tariffs go to twenty five percent. depending on his decision and. we'll see but i think we have very far from a deescalation of this raul will raise sea hundreds of billions of u.s. dollars tariffs on chinese goods sixty billion dollars worth of chinese terrorist on u.s. goods which side hurts more. the u.s. economy can hardly replace the chinese goods so it's not like these goods will be

produced in the united states what's going to happen probably is that prices of the chinese goods will increase maybe the chinese currency will devalue a little about in the end it could very well be that the u.s. is the loser or the us consumer is the biggest loser in this thing so it's not clear that this will hit the chinese more than the u.s. now when two giants like washington and beijing fight with each other where does that to dispute leafy rep. well europe has no interest in global protectionism increasing on the other hand there are opportunities for european companies now and there are opportunities for europe to get to stay out of this route so it could be that on the one hand the chinese will make concessions to the europeans to intensify trade with europe and it could also be that some

european companies those competing with chinese companies in the u.s. markets. may increase their market share so this scenario where the conflict is mostly between the u.s. and china is in fact quite positive for europe off cause we know trump is very volatile so he could easily turn to europe very quickly but for the for the time being europe is in a more comfortable position. claim as who's their president of the institute like this institute for economic research at the university of munich thank you so much thank you. and here's a reminder now of the top stories we're following for you. the winners of the right of livelihood award have been announced to offer no knowledge of the alternative nobel prize the award acknowledges people offering smart solutions to the root causes of global problems as well as that are suffering when they have been reduced . to. their washing didn't even use
