prize honest people and organizations offering smart solutions to the root causes of global problems this is honoree award goes to two anti corruption activists from latin america thelma and yvonne black prez they've been on live for exposing abuse of power and prosecuting corruption in guatemala three imprisoned saudi arabian rights activists also among the laureates. mohamed qahtani and volleyed care are known for the efforts to reform the two italian political system in saudi arabia the oil currently in jail for offenses that include disobeying the rule and harming the reputation of the state by communicating with international organizations. a farmer from burkina faso receive the award for turning barren land into forest and demonstrating how farmers can regenerate this soil using

looking knowledge he's known as the man who stopped the death and the australian. a tony rondo is recognized by the jury for his work fighting deforestation and desert if occasion in africa. region. now let's take a closer look at one of the when as i just mentioned tony is an alto he spiny a simple but effective solution to deforestation that is earned him the nickname the forest make a run out of technique involves growing up trees from existing ruth systems which are often still intact by choosing the right plants and by pruning and protecting them in a certain way they can soon grew into trees using a simple set of management practices to what byron are doing farmers can regenerate and protect existing local vegetation. and out of believes that it has the potential to restore degraded dry land 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 to resilience and livelihoods this is a deep valley with steep hills they've 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 the contour banks they put in check. 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 paper very vulnerable in the eighty's and around that time it fluctuated between experiencing perhaps one year and then if it did rise instead of searching 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 interventions. growing trees through it from an hour and planting all of these activities have. acted like a buffer. variation in the weather so that when there's a drought it's less severe or 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 of it 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. region with intimidated or irregular rainfall you can turn that around when you

work with nature to make it a highly productive and stable system joining me now is giuliani couldn't she's a jury member all for the right livelihood once she joins me from bonn welcome to the giuliana 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 and at the right left of the 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 wind 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 awards 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've mentioned our honorary rights. 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 for good reasons that we deliberated 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 laureates 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 and 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 who as 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 lowrance we've been following them for for a number of years before we finally make the decisions juliana cronan a jury member for the viking livelihood awards it was

a pleasure to have you with us on did of you thanks for inviting me thank you. here in berlin a deal of the future of germany's domestic spy chief appears to have preserved america's fragile government the coalition had been holding crisis talks on what to do with consequent monson after his controversial remarks about far right violence and early agreement that transferred mohsen to a high ranking job at multi had met with public outrage magnus interior minister informed waiting janice off mawson's new assignment after the weekend's negotiations. arriving to deliver a compromise a new solution to end the uncertainty over the future of germany's soon to be former domestic intelligence chief it's a good president the current president of the federal office for the protection of the constitution hans-georg mouse and 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. and scrutiny said.

last week there were calls for hans-georg masson to be sacked after he apparently downplayed recent anti migrant 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 communal goshi ations between i'm going to merkel's c.d.u. their very and sister party c.s.u. led by hostile and the social democrats s.p.d. leader andrea novice gave her reaction in berlin following the whole fiz and then cement. 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. an 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 obvious political correspondent simon young welcome simon is so mohsin would stay in the interior ministry but he will not get a promotion 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 them 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 some 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. to move 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 key 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 heads for instance questioning the authenticity of a video showing migrants being chased down the street that those kind of comments had given. anti immigrant feeling and indeed 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 getting 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 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 some young did have these political correspondent thank you very much for that analysis. that's been having to fit some other stories making news around the bond u.s.

pope francis is in latvia today the second stop on his four day visit to the baltic states he's visiting three countries as the hundred years since winning independence off the fuss was bore president i'm lungs of years you also was on hand to welcome the pontiff at a ceremony at castle nato the pontiff will hold a mass in the village of. before arriving in latvia france's spent two days in lithuania where he addressed the atrocities committed by the nazis and soviet occupations his message to the free it's remember the suffering as a way to guard against eight in today's political landscape. as many as one hundred thousand people attended pope francis's mass encounters 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 at 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. eleventh 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. it shows that he supports us morally no doubt 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 little rains who were murdered and thousands more including many priests shipped off to forced labor camps in siberia the soviets for decades occupation is still fresh from a little rainy and. we are there but all it's and we really appreciate that then shame on the pope on the what can't follow in the pendants actually how we fought for freedom and especially. as a christianity it actually helped us. to fight against the soviet regime and. the pope will end his trip with

a visit to latvia and estonia fewer catholics live but francis hopes his message to remember will still resonate. and i look at the weekend's sporting bundestag action by our live a cause a difficult start to the wonderfully season losing their first three matches sunday's home clash with mines was an opportunity to finally get some points on the board they got off the mark thanks to another great performance from their new youngster. europa league double for can i have some thursday when she was a shoo in to start the goods minds live accusing dominated in the first half as they went to desperate search of their first bond as they got points which jimmy called harvard shooting over. after the break in against the run of play mind set the ball in the net but the video assistant rule dropping quiescent had used and the goal was chopped off. then just after the hour you the

implant crossed and have a good level cusins hero again having most into the march books on march the nineteen year old is on fire. however shines his leather shoes and get their first win of the season i muchly fall just like last term pike o'hanley has a real gem on his hands. now frankfurt and rb laughs again also struggled in the early stages of the bundesliga season with both clubs in the bottom half the table ahead of sunday's showdown neither side could take charge however as the mixture of injuries and suspensions need for an evenly matched affair. always run like see took to the field without forward kevin i will stand and defend nobody mckayla the pair was suspended by coach ralph running this week over disciplinary issues his defense could do with some tough love as well judging by how easily frank threw

them in the twenty seventh minute lookee over it with some sort of wing play in the build up justin fernandez with the simplest of finishes off the sabbats the eyelids had a was saved. it wasn't until the second half that like to give ventura he showed some gumption to chant pull gifted the visitors a chance for twelve yards. and will host bird slot at home coolly to pull his side level in the fifty third minute one one the final score neither side offering much in the way of performance or discipline. monica joins me now with businesses in china as accuse a us often gazing in what it calls trade bullyism why is that and rita that of course because there has been another round of us tariffs on chinese goods and that round kicked in today at the stroke of midnight washington started imposing tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products beijing retaliated by targeting sixty billion dollars of u.s.

goods with extra duties and this is the latest escalation in a bitter trade dispute that's rattled financial markets so far neither side has signaled a willingness to compromise. workers in a chinese factory making flags and banners for donald trump's reelection campaign in two thousand and twenty if you want an idea of the irony and complexity of the trade dispute between the world's two biggest economies here it is in a nutshell. they just use 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 at 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 jews have come into effect on another two hundred billion dollars worth of goods.

on the other side china it's imports from the u.s. and twenty seventeen total 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. state has been going on for years. here's what's different in this administration 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 open the tit for top spot economists say the real losers in this trade

battle could ultimately be consumers in both countries. to a battle of another kind to now here in germany chancellor angela merkel met carmakers on sunday to discuss additional measures to avoid large scale diesel vehicle bans in german cities among the most contentious issues engine retrofits which the car industry has so far opposed to sunday's so-called diesel summit also ended inconclusive with more talks to come later this week. perhaps b.m.w. wanted to show a little goodwill the c.e.o. came to chancellor angela merkel's office in an electric car for his company there's a lot at stake the same for mercedes boston and v.w. management they'll be meeting with macko finance minister shots and transport minister sure once again the subject is driving bans for diesel vehicles the coalition wants to prevent this is much as possible but the industry does not want

to make any promises for recruiting. and instead for clean air in the cities fleet renewal remains our priority we've also talked about retrofitting now they'll be discussions at the federal level and the individual car manufacturers will do the same with an automobile have been like a tone but the green party demands the conversion of all vehicles that don't meet exhaust emissions standards and so my high school they always say that only older diesels are affected but it isn't true there are many of the relatively new euro five diesel vehicles which totally exceed the standard values and many of the newest euro sixty s. of vehicles considered the most modern don't meet the standards that's why we demand that the vehicles be retrofitted at the expense of the car industry. the german government has blocked the retrofitting of older diesel engines and prefers offering incentives to buy new vehicles the big car bosses left under the americans

office without a deal but the german chancellor wants to present a solution for diesel vehicles by the end of the month. so the diesel summits didn't bring any results just yet but one big name in the industry announced it will get diesel full good want to cross over to pakistan but it's often national correspondent frank powell is turning its back on diesel how are investors reacting to that. yes monaco this whole diesel issue is weighing on all major german carmakers this morning and they're all down at least one percent or even even more porsche also by the way and we were in the center of you know where the problem is frankfurt here is one of the main cities where cars were diesel cars be able to enter starting next year the worry being of course businesses in the surrounding area won't be able to come in and provide their

services if they have these older diesel cars now after the summit the once again failed some of the pressure of political pressure is rising to retrofit these cars which of course the car industry isn't happy a bit about because they may have to pay for it they may end up being the one. having to pay because the sense is of course they're part of the or that they are partly responsible for not having these. cars be clean enough but let me just get to another point because this is a huge story in frankfurt way you major changes on the dax and on the u.s. stocks tell us about that. yes the big losers of today are behind me that's spying and deutsche bank bank just got kicked out of the euro stocks and x. and x. out of the. out of the dax being replaced by wire card a financial tech company that is specialized in mobile payments on my electronic

payments sector which of course the. banks in germany have sort of slumbered through and there's even talks of mergers between these two giant german lenders in order to make them compete internationally again. but it's reporting from france thank you so much. and is a reminder all the top stories we're following for you. the winners of the might not be going to war have been announced often known as the alternative nobel prize the award acknowledges people offerings non-solutions to the root causes of global problems as well as those suffering for their beliefs. they're watching the news coming to live from berlin more coming up after the top of the hour see the best.
