hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us we begin with some positive news as we shine a spotlight on those working to make the world a better place each year the right livelihood award dollars those creating smart solutions for the environment and development the ward is known as the alternative nobel prize there are four winners this year and we're been looking at them across the day here at g.w. one of the waiters. has been recognized for turning barren land into fertile forests in his native. when you. said he would plant a forest in the desert his neighbors thought he was mad. but the forest grew. now some would go travels around his native burkean afonso to teach his technique

using a traditional method called i he shows farmers how to dig small pits and fill them with compost to protect the seeds the mounds attract termites whose tunnels trap rainwater. rise out of i want their training program to be the starting point of many was forcing thousands to flee the semi arid saheli region of central africa in the one nine hundred seventy s. he stayed and began experimenting with traditional techniques. since then he has created some of the most diverse forests in the region and his methods have saved hundreds of square kilometers of arid land from desert if occasion the reclaimed soil allows farmers to produce crops even in times of drought. so i would though go has gained international recognition for his work in two thousand and ten he was a featured guest at the united nations convention to combat the certification for this stadium so i do. but the farmer spends most of his

time back home in burkina faso. fighting deforestation during times of climate change takes constant care and vigilance. and his community depends on his knowledge to bring life back to the land. for many so i would go has given them a reason to stay. and joining us now from amsterdam is chris ray he's a close friend of the solid mr ray i understand you known jacoba so ago for over thirty five years can you tell us what this award means to him i think there's no borders fairy is very important to him in hebrew receive it is an honor and an international recognition of the work that he has done or close to for decades and beach has made so much impact not only in but you know but also in all of this to help countries like and yeah i want to talk to you about the impact in just

a moment but first tell us about the idea in turning barren land into forest and helping farmers regenerate their soil how did so there go come up with this idea. well ninety eight he was facing desertification in so much eleven decoration many people were fleeing the area and he decided to stay and to find solutions to create a problem so what he did false he started to experiment and he increased. the dimensions of traditional planting baits he made them bigger and he made them deeper and he ended up getting method to him because meant that evil's concentrating water as well as soil fertility in one spot and he used a technique on land if a completely or a hot and fixed normally wasn't coke evaders all the crop yields on those lands will just sort of keep overhead are and then he turned those areas into foot i lent

there you could grow crops as well as street stored there. goes work been received mr a within within his own farming community. initially in his farming community it was a bit difficult people who are resisting his innovations because they according to some they did more prospective certain conditions birth but and even at a certain moment set fire to his forest but after a few years the resistance but he used and subsequently he got quite a lot of support so he is now an accept that person in his own community and he has gained gained respect for his community and also from in the whole region i would say in a country like like booking now but also in niger many phone was talk about design technique and in i would say that even in what you're in many parts it's even more widespread than in the anyway you believe himself so it's caught on this technique

do tell us about the impact what does it mean for the lives of the people who are living in these regions where this soil and growing things has been transformed going to get a illustrated by example from each year in one thousand nine hundred ninety there was a drought year in the year and farmers who heads begun to be stored degraded pieces i had seen in the previous year while visiting your hoover on his own fields. those were the only fuels where farmers would get a harvest and from ninety ninety it started to spread quickly what's the in some places the impact on crop yields has been measured so what we found with outside zero paedo off grain perfect are with side somewhere between five hundred ten fifteen hundred kilos of grain project are depending on the quality of the zion the

whole of your to solve many different so i've made a huge impact that is remarkable it's. it allows fama also to harvest something in a different year so it certainly helps farmers to do overcome drought to be climate smog and to be down to gillian as we call it remark to egypt so you're used to pretty. as a really wonderful story great story of success with sustainable agriculture chris rea joining us there from amsterdam thank you so much chris raise a close friend of your quba sourdough the winner one of the winners of this year's alternative nobel prize. now moving on to other news back to washington where the white house has issued a statement saying that president trump is to meet with the deputy attorney general

rod rosenstein on thursday now this after rosenstein was summoned to the white house amid speculation over whether he would be fired the meeting comes just days after rosenstein allegedly suggested that aides secretly taped the president's conversations he's also alleged to have raised the idea of invoking the twenty fifth amendment to the cons to the u.s. constitution to declare trump unfit for office or rosenstein has been in charge of overseeing the investigation into the trouble campaign's connections to russia after resistance balsa attorney general jeff sessions had to recuse himself. well the latest let's go over to washington where our correspondent my a shooter is standing by my it's being reported that u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein could be out of a job what more can you tell us. it's certainly never a dull moment with this administration terry we were hearing earlier today that he had been summoned to the white house in light of this new york times article that

you mentioned where in he it was reported that he was offering to wear a wire perhaps to start impeachment proceedings to help jump start impeachment proceedings rather and we also had reports that last week when the story broke rosenstein offered his resignation now he's been summoned to the white house we're hearing that actually he's not out of a job yet there is this meeting coming up on thursday after he was scheduled to meet with john kelly today the thing is it does actually matter first whether or not he's going to be out of a job and second how he may or may not be out of that job if he resigns as has been reported by some outlets if you offered to resign and if he does all humanly resign then that means according to certain laws in place trump a gets to pick the next guy who's going to be deputy attorney general where you have to

remember about rosenstein is right now he is basically the boss of robert muller the man who is leading this investigation into the alleged meddling by russia into the twenty sixteen u.s. elections and rosenstein has really been acting as a human shield between the trump administration which doesn't like the fact of the investigations going on and the investigation themselves if he's gone and the manner in which he has gone both of those things matter ok well obviously the question is if. kate is posed what would this mean lower probe. but we are all very well aware the trump immiseration is not a fan of this investigation and if trump does get the opportunity to nominate the next person who is going to be deputy attorney general that person would have the opportunity to possibly shut the investigation down throw up roadblocks to make proper miller's life harder report to the white house on what muller is working on

and possibly prepare the white house for what might be coming in terms of indictments subpoenas coming out so. things right now are going forward with the russe investigation but its future is up in the air as long as rod rosen science future is up in the air and we should mention that the reason why rosenstein is in charge of this is because jeff sessions the actual attorney general recused himself from overseeing this investigation at the beginning of the trumpet ministration there's a lot of chess pieces moving around here but right now at the baseline rosenstein does still have a job the russian investigators and is still going forward however there is now this meeting on thursday in light of everything that happened last night and today and things might still change rapidly but thank you so much correspondent meyers waiter there in washington. now let's check on some other stories making headlines

around the world today u.s. president all trump has dismissed the sexual assault allegations against his supreme court pick brett kavanaugh as politically motivated trump said he's with him all the way cavanaugh and his accuser are due to testify before a senate panel on thursday another woman has also claimed sexual misconduct now by cavanagh in a magazine article. how the monsoon rains in northern india have triggered landslides and flooding in the state of the much of rubbish emergency teams had to rescue more than a dozen people trapped by floodwaters strong currents also washed away a bus that had been parked fortunately with no one on board. and the e.u.'s referring poll into the blocks highest court over the country's controversial judicial reforms it says poland violated democratic values by passing a law that effectively forces supreme court judges to retire early the e.u.

wants the european court of justice to suspend the law which has sparked massive protests. you're watching the news still to come of helping the paralyzed to walk again we report of a new device that's giving hope to people with spinal cord injury. stuff here with the business news and sign of american trade tensions hitting financial markets as right terry is jitters all over investors are in increasingly bracing for a prolonged trade war the key asian european and u.s. indices all falling this monday washington's latest terrorists have kicked in for two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products and he wants to retaliate targeting sixty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods with accidents. workers in a chinese factory making flags and banners for donald trump's reelection campaign in twenty 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 the dispute has escalated dramatically since this meeting between the american president and his chinese counterpart xi jinping 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 just over five hundred billion dollars worth of goods from china back in june trump imposed tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of them as of today further duties of come into effect on another two hundred billion dollars worth of products. on the other side china its imports from the u.s. last year totaled one hundred twenty nine billion dollars only about a quarter of the value of u.s. bound exports in the summer china responded to u.s. tariffs by imposing judy's on some fifty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods and now it's retaliated again by adding duties to a further sixty billion dollars of u.s. goods but if the u.s.

ups the ante again china doesn't have much room to move. meanwhile the war of words has also escalated here's what u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe had to say about the trade war when he appeared on u.s. television on sunday. we know this much of the trade war by china against the united states 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 lit up in the tit for tat dispute economists say the real losers in this trade battle are likely to be consumers in both countries. germany has long american carmakers on sunday to discuss additional measures to avoid large scale diesel vehicle bans adjourns it is the so-called diesel summit ended in conclusively yet

again there will be more talks later this week meanwhile the automotive industry is taking the initiative at the biannual a commercial vehicle show and hanover electric cars are taking center stage. this van could be something out of a science fiction novel the urban addict will be able to master the road without a human driver. trade's been run for dusky likes that. that's despite the fact that he's looking for something a little bit less futuristic. doesn't appear to please or just futuristic concepts we obviously need practical models and affordable vehicles right now i think the industry understands there's a huge demand if. chinese carmakers are here to avoid death he rented them access a.v. eighty from psych half a year ago and he's happy with it it's not luxuriously equipped but it has other advantages most importantly fast charging technology. benefit and

effect this vehicle has a range of almost two hundred kilometers it can carry a load of one ton i can load a drawer system in there and it has a huge loading area and all that for a relatively interesting price i'm still waiting for the germans to make something like that. and it isn't. done there is presenting the evasions of its classic sprinter and veto models and void of he could be one of the first customers he's preordered an electric veto for forty three thousand euro's but he still has one concern the full battery only has a one hundred kilometer range. a solution would be a standard installation of fast loading technology which would enable drivers to recharge quickly but the main german car makers are dragging their feet could be customers don't need more range. ya'll as us was out and it's we aim for one hundred kilometers under all conditions also in winter and with heating and that's

according to what customers said is the norm when it comes to their needs they drive sixty to eighty kilometers a day six times a week well they can charge at night but that should be sufficient. once to get a real feel and takes the vehicle for spin from the outside the event zero is very similar to its diesel engine cousin. already has ten diesel vito's in history. so his workers would hardly have to adjust. and it's two more days of these models were available now i'd be ready to say i don't have to settle for vans from nissan or the chinese ones because i'd also be taking repairs and service in the long term into consideration long as it's nevada from small transporters to heavy trucks with electric engines there's no more time for presenting future prototypes buyers need production ready e.-v. it goes now. there's more business to come refers back to terry on day german

government's attempts to contain the fallout of a controversial promotion talking about fallout there's been quite a lot there in this department the german chancellor i'm going to michael has apologized for being out of touch with voters now that's after public outrage forced her coalition government to reverse its decision about promoting the controversial head of the domestic intelligence agency observers say the affair has further weakened had already fragile coalition admitting a mistake and then apologizing for it is something you rarely see in german politics but that is what german chancellor angela merkel did when she cooled last week's this isn't about domestic intelligence chief hans mos and unconvincing president foghat. i was too focused on the workings of the interior ministry and gave too little consideration to what people think rightly when they hear that somebody is getting promoted and. i deeply regret that this could happen.

that's been zia. the soon to be full head of the domestic intelligence service was faced with calls for resignation after here appeared to downplay recent anti migrant violence in the city of candidates the word was that he would be removed from his post but then it turned out he was actually being promoted in the interior ministry led by jose ofa the head of the bavarian conservative c as you the decision to promote mohsen sparked widespread public anger promoting new negotiations between the government coalition now mawson will stay on as a special advisor to zero for a compromise if hope will finally resolve the issue as merkel wants her cabinet to get back to work on his concerns there is no shortage of issues preoccupying ordinary german voters old carriage for example pensions prime and climate change and most recently affordable housing merkel and her coalition partners pretty

concur. and we need a new way of working in the coalition and we have to get out of the hysterical frame of mind that we have seen in the last few days now the german government has pledged to turn over a new leaf and to get to work in a way that the electorate can appreciate. merkel's government has promised to turn over a new leaf is that really likely. so hard to say at the moment on the plus side of the equation this gesture by the chancellor is to be taken very seriously i think such an act of contrition an apology as she gave today that is not simply business as usual so clearly she is taking very seriously the fact that polls show that many germans have lost confidence in the government in fact if elections were to be held

tomorrow the two parties governing together in the ground coalition would not get a majority of the vote in other words the coalition would not be sustainable so i think that indicates that finally the various partners in the coalition may have had a change of heart and be ready to get down to business on the other hand a wild card in all of this is the interior minister he has repeatedly taken positions of essentially right wing populist nationalism that have led to very strong frictions with his coalition partners including the chancellor's own conservatives although they are in fact the sister party of his bavarian christian social union so will he now play a more constructive role that is very very difficult to say sometimes he has appeared to have an almost personal vendetta against the chancellor so that is the

big open question here so the coalition solves very strained and confidence is dipping in the ability of the government to get things done just a recent poll saying twenty four percent of people. said they're calm they're only twenty four percent said that their culture that the current government is able to solve problems in germany if that's the case bill and who if anyone or motors willing to put their faith in. well their faith is spread around amongst a number of different parties if you look at the latest surveys but certainly one party that has absolutely profited from the disarray in the coalition is the right wing nationalist party that is precisely the party the interior minister has been so worried about he's looking toward state elections in bavaria in his home state very concerned that there will be rising support for the far right that's one of the reasons he's played this nationalist right wing card but the fact is it hasn't

been of any use to his party we have seen real gains in the a.f.d. and i'm dropping off support for the mainstream conservatives both in bavaria and nationally so that the f.t. is the biggest winner here linda thank you so much cheap little correspondent melinda crane now it's being hailed as a medical milestone scientists in the u.s. are reporting success in helping patients with paralysis to stand and even take steps again it's all thanks to an electrical implant that zaps the spinal cord along with months of intense rehabilitation the research is giving new hope to people suffering from spinal cord injury. one step at a time jared chin ok is able to walk again five years after an accident that left him paralyzed to be able to move. my legs and. to walk

even a stand it means a lot. that there is hope for not only me but other people. because one of three patients taking part in two separate studies in the united states aimed at getting them to walk again albeit assisted the twenty nine year old was the first patient at the mayo clinic in minnesota to have an electrical stimulation device implanted near his damaged spinal cord. the original function of the electrical stimulator was to treat chronic pain. but it's being used experimentally to try to activate dormant circuitry in the spinal cord. and allow movement. because we were able to see the malaysia wreck plea the spinal cord itself and we believe that that was very important to be able to regain the volitional control or voluntary control. just one month after surgery cino commute

his toe on his own again he underwent forty three weeks of intense physical therapy and stimulator adjustments at one therapy session chinnock managed to walk the length of a football field but for him it's not about the distance. the hopeful side of that maybe i'll gain or i can leave the wheelchair behind even if it is to walk. to the refrigerator and back or some tend to you know like not very far. and hope is given to those with spinal injuries who never thought standing up. or walking would ever be possible again. you're watching t w news still to call ordering nelson mandela's legacy to us on bale's a statue of the late south african president on what would have been is one hundredth birthday. no renaud the brain as the world's best footballer could be about to come to an end to take

are both so no road the far right politician is about to crack down on crime and corruption earlier this month he was seriously injured when he was stabbed during a campaigning event he's spent a few weeks in hospital but that hasn't hurt him politically and despite drawing criticism for comments regarded by many as safe as racist sexist and homophobic also remains the presidential front runner. well a group of women in brazil are among those objecting to balsa nora's remarks on the campaign trail they say he's unfit to be president and they are determined to stop him w. social media editor cold osmond is here to tell us how they call most in ours comments getting him into real hot water you can say that yeah i mean this is a bull this is bull sonorities of polarizing candidate often compared to a certain us presidents for is divisive comments both in our zero has insulted as you mentioned minorities gays and in particular women and during his campaign and

here are just a few of his most controversial statements to give you a sense of some of the things that he has said well campaigning during a t.v. interview in twenty sixteen he said women should earn a smaller salary because they get pregnant last spring at a public event he said this about his own kids he said i have five children i have four boys and in the fifth i weakened and a girl came and he's currently actually appealing a fine that he received for saying this to a fellow congresswoman he said i wouldn't rape you because you don't deserve it so it may not be surprising women voters in particular are rejecting him now terry in increasing numbers one poll that's my. shows that nearly half of all presumed women would not vote for him that's a ten percent increase in that particular margin since august so potentially losing some support there amongst women in brazil understandably understand he's taken a bit of a hit in the polls already and now the online movement against him motivated by

some of those statements you just showed us is getting to gay moment of and this is women coming together online it's really been gaining strength recently on social media and this is a hashtag called ella now which means not him and we're seeing this really becoming a big powerful hash tag on social media one facebook group had around three million members against both n r o you can see some of the hundreds of thousands of posts here from twitter and instagram the hash tag is also being used to mobilize nationwide rallies which are planned for next weekend and we're seeing brazilian female celebrities speaking out online as well this is an actress deborah seco and she writes not him that hash tag it's not just about politics it's about morality it's about having freedom and dignity to be and to think whatever you want which i hope my daughter will have and i hope all your children will have it too that's why not in ok but despite all of that both in our understand still

has a very good chance of becoming brazil's next president that's true he is currently the front runner that's actually in part because of his support from women in brazil so we've heard all the people that are not supporting him actually seventeen percent of brazilian women still do support and that makes them the leading candidate with women in brazil it's a very crowded field there you know these supporters they also have a strong online presence they have a nickname for themselves there there are the both so meet us the election is october seventh the voters will be going to the polls both an hour will likely then end up as the first place candidate then he'll be in a runoff with a second place and that will go on from there but the big day out over seventh and we'll be covering that extensively carl thank you so much called us run from d.w. social media to us. you're watching too that we news still to come costello result those reign as the world's best footballer could be about to come to an end we'll take

a look at candidates for this year's fit for best award. music from a piece called suspect specially commissioned by e.w. for the best hope and first of all involved as an annual event in the composer's home telling our culture editor joins me for more of that other highlights from the first. christophe's back with more business and oil prices are all the raw is much to the way of the u.s. government that's right ariel prices have hit a four year high of barrels brant crude cost more than eighty one dollars this after members of opec a cartel of oil producing nations ruled out increasing output now the decision defies calls from washington where the government fears that these sanctions imposed on oil rich iran will put pressure on global supply. filling the tank in germany is taking

a bigger and bigger bite out of the pocketbook and these gentlemen are going to have a hand in that the leaders of the opec oil producing nations met in the capital over the weekend where they agreed to keep production level stable and with demand rising that means prices have nowhere to go but up monday morning the price of brant north sea crude rose two point seven percent to eighty one dollars a barrel the highest mark in four years something that's not likely to please u.s. president donald trump he's been a critic of opec production policy which he says keeps prices high and hurts american businesses and consumers. but trump also shares some of the responsibility for higher prices thanks to sanctions against iran picks third largest member. american pressure has hampered iran's ability to sell oil on international markets venezuela's economic crisis is also had to supply. the two countries on blackly to

greece production in the ne a ten x. that say the price of brant crude could top one thousand one hundred dollars early next year. and staying with commodities there is a new merger in the gold industry the canadian mining company barrick gold has taken over as rival randgold that makes it the largest gold company in the world the new merged company will have a market value of around eighteen point three billion u.s. dollars according to run gold it's headquartered in the channel islands but operates mines in the ivory coast mali senegal and the democratic democratic republic of congo the price of gold is on the pressures and february the pressures metals value has sunk by more than thirteen percent some analysts believe the merger could boost investor confidence advocates of a cleaner and greener fashion industry say a shift in the way designers do business depends on demand in other words as

a loss to consumers to make the sector more sustainable others argue fashion houses are the ones sitting on mountains of cash which could be used to change consumer habits here's what's trending at milan fashion week but beauty may rule the catwalk. but as soon as the lights go out fashions ugly underbelly is plain to see . clothing produced in sweatshops animals tortured for their for fast fashion that ends up in the trash as quickly as it's purchased wasting valuable resources for fashion industry striving for a better image during the lawns fashion week stars like cindy crawford or key blanchett are presenting the second to green carpet awards honoring sustainable production and business practices in fashion. no one industry can tackle climate change. and the sustainability issues by itself but it's a very pointy public industry and so it's one of the fashion industry is making

such a strong state businesses are increasingly attempting to shift to more sustainable production models including in the fashion industry however they still represent a small minority in the corporate world and that's unlikely to change until consumers change their habits. who is harder is not that's not only the question in the fashion world but who will make the list and who gets torn off that's the big question every autumn when the german stock market presents the top thirty companies that have made it onto the dax germany's index of blue chip stocks. has been on the back since it was found it but it no longer meets the criteria it has been replaced by wire card a new car that makes payments off are also being revamped as the tech tax the index or the thirty largest tech stocks new rules allow a company to be listed both the dax at the tactics.

as you may know is about to name the world footballer of the year and joining me in the studio here to discuss the best football awards is chris harrington from our sports desk a crest so who are the candidates for the men's crown will be have three finalists and shockingly leo messi is not one of them but the messi christian or not though is a finalist his teammate former teammate and the egyptian messi mohamed salah we have a report let's take a look. christiane or naldo and you know messi have dominated the individual football awards for ten years that this year there's a new comer in town creation style new car madre mess he was left out in the cold when it came to the future play of the year shortlist that means moderates will be up against his former reale madrid teammate ron our dog. and of a poor forward. those close to moderates think he deserves it. he or

the best player in the club whatever the best they can work out and. i hope i look at what you think is this or. moderate doesn't come close to the forty four goals that were nado and solid banked in four reanimate dritte and liverpool respectively but his genius isn't measured in goal it's the midfielder was to create a force that drove reale matric to a third straight champions league title. then he played an inspirational role as krishna reached the world cup final and that won him some high profile fans. championed all but they had a great season with real madrid by winning the champions league yet a beautiful world cup and was a finalist in the tournament so logically you should win but i don't know it's not me who makes the final decision but i voted for him and. so i think he's a fantastic player. a wonderful footballer but also

a great mentality. physically for somebody that's not good in stature. and in terms of the way for us i am as if moderates finally ends the messy rinaldo stranglehold that we more than a few rows of delight in zagreb. is. still there. now chris i know you don't have a vote in this awards ceremony but you do have an opinion who do you think should win lucchitta matter it says he's known in the locker room at rio madrid lucchitta i think it's a no brainer you have to go with him because when you factor in the world cup you know croatia it until recently to do it in russia they had never made a final moderates walked away with the m.v.p. of that tournaments called the golden ball and he was the you a folk player of the year so it all makes sense i mean everything is still fresh the world cup is still fresh in the minds of the voters and when you factor in the other two finalists see our seven crescendo naldo as well as mama sala neither one

of them performed on the world cup stage as they would have liked so i think the logical choice is luke. but that's not the only award being handed out tonight who else could go home with the prize now we did see one person being interviewed in that piece dva just shot he won the world cup as the head coach for france so i think that is also a no brainer he'll definitely walk away with that award and then we also have the best fee for women's player award in two leone teammates billy-o. is in a league are they walked away dominated their lead domestically and also won the champions league the one player i think that has the advantage in winning is had a big she scored thirty one goals domestically fifteen in the champions league you know that's actually that tally is one better than the tally of crescendo rinaldo so when you factor in that goal production i think she was she's the favorite to win the women's but it remains to be seen the ceremony is taking place now so let's
