soup of a island last week survivors meanwhile beginning to grow angry at the government's response to this disaster they say authorities are being too slow to send aid to areas outside of the main town of palu and that they're running short on food fuel and other essentials. and heartache reports the government has begun air lifting some survivors though to safety. all they want is to get out. some of them have been waiting four days at the airport to get on one of the planes that are bringing in the eight. indonesians on forces are constantly airlifting in relief goods things that people here need most water food medication most of all and on the way back they're taking those who are desperately waiting to the old people people who are injured people who've lost their homes women and small children. are going to get you know mia. and i'm over the

12:06 pm
the f.a.q. . so are you satisfied with the international community's response to the disaster. what we're trying to do our best to provide support to the effective population although we have to acknowledge all through that the challenge is in men in the red born we've been trying to bring and rushing to court as quick as possible but we're trying our best to reach the community in time of war. and that was his name from the international red cross there let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world japanese prime minister shinzo while bay has reshuffled his cabinet but he left the key foreign finance a condom me and trade ministers in place the changes come as the country faces tough trade talks with the united states there was only one woman appointed to the
12:07 pm
new cabinet. british prime minister to resign may says that her country's immigration rules after brags it will favor skilled migrants over low skilled migrants and that no preferential treatment will be given to e.u. citizens maid was speaking on the fringes of the annual conservative party conference taking place in birmingham this week. and rallies marking one year since catalonia has failed referendum to split from spain have ended in clashes between separatists and police in barcelona earlier pro independence protesters held sit ins and rallies across the region last year's vote was held in defiance of the spanish government and many of the organizers are now behind bars. germany's coalition government has reached agreement on immigration reform designed to make the country more attractive to skilled workers from around the world the late night deal is a first step toward a more open immigration law a condom the minister paid to altmire said that the new immigration law would make
12:08 pm
the upturn in germany's economy more sustainable as well as increasing its growth potential the plan will continue to treat asylum seekers and economic migrants differently but could allow for greater flexibility for refugees who successfully integrate in germany. for more on this let's bring our political correspondent hans browne to is standing by at our parliamentary studio so hans as we heard there germany wants to recruit skilled workers from other countries so what are we talking about here. well what's new is that skilled workers from outside the european union because obviously the european union there is free movement within the union from outside the european union if they have an acceptable qualification if they can also demonstrate that they speak enough german they are allowed to enter germany for six months to look for a job in terms of their qualification they also have to certify that they can finance their existence for those six months all directly and recruit skilled
12:09 pm
workers in countries also at the european union and those workers who have a job offer from a german company can also enter the country freely so the how far does this new policy go there because you know i'm just thinking about asylum seekers for example who are already in germany but they've been denied residence permits could they also benefit from this new proposal this is being one of the most controversial aspects of this whole discussion because especially conservative parties in germany want to prevent the route of asylum of economic migration becoming a kind of way into a permanent residence in germany but what is now being decided is that people who are here as asylum seekers who have a qualification or who have attained a qualification who are well integrated to speak good german can also change their status will get some sort of permanence in germany that's a kind of certainty for them and their existence but it's also
12:10 pm
a certainty that it's important for the companies that employ them can be certain that these workers that they have trained well to be allowed to stay and work for them brands in berlin thank you hans. conditions at the morea refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos have been described as appalling more than a thousand people are crammed into a facility built to hold just three thousand violence and prostitution are commonplace but in recent months the criminal activities appear to have taken on a new quality people there say that they are being terrorized by militants from islamic states who have begun to arrive from syria to that we used to share and mario miller went to the camp to investigate. the bloody attack in camp moria last may suspected isis members were apparently the driving force several were injured severely some attackers were arrested i did you tell your wife
12:11 pm
of that when they attack it's about twenty of them who gang up on you. we stay here with metal bars. the mercy of this little boy. the same slogans that isis members will others great isis will remain and expand. the. ashmont escape from iraq to lesbos he lifted directly next to the presumed isis group before he fled the camp in fear for his life. many other residents of the camp tell us a similar story they are still fanatic. about stealing if you are not islam i kill with you i cannot tell anyone they have spies everywhere. we want to see what's really going on inside the can run us. thank you we are not allowed and so two former residents go in for us and take a hidden camera with them. morea is like

12:13 pm
apartment. he choked me and praised the blade to my throat then he told his friends to come and he said hold him down so i can slit his throat. of the. other plans to export terror from inside the camp to europe the fact that they openly professed membership speaks against that meanwhile german security staff confirm they have information about isis affiliates in camp moria. but what are greek authorities and the police doing to stop the violence. the greek ministry for migration policy refused an interview they say they're too busy to provide a spokesperson to police to remain silent if the camp unless both closes down as the governor of the region recently stated it's uncertain what will happen to the violent gang sources say that some of the alleged isis leaders have already made it to athens. and if that report got your attention there is an in-depth version
12:14 pm
online you can go to youtube and search for d w documentary or you can look for it on our media center that's at dot com. meantime now in other news this year's nobel prize for physics has just been announced by the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm and it has been awarded in two parts with half going to the u.s. scientist arthur ashe can and the other half to a team of two physicists the frenchman gerard rowe and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the fields of laser physics. derek williams is here to tell us a little bit more about this decision and to break down what exactly laser physics is first of all derek because i'm not aware are you surprised by the stripes well it wasn't really on anyone's short list to be honest it's also a very diffuse kind of an award it's laser physics is
12:15 pm
a very broad field in there and they're really giving it you know half and half to these to these to this task and to marie and strickland for really very different accomplishments in the field on the one hand with can you have he manipulates is. biological material with lasers so he's actually using it as a tool so advances in that particular field whereas the advances from ruin strickland date all the way back to the nineteen seventies when she was actually have a ph d. student and it's about it's about intensifying the. the rate at which lasers can be shown in tools and in order to make things so all in all there to really very separate areas for what's actually one of the most interesting aspects of this of this nobel prize is that strickland is is one of the first woman in fifty five years to win the nobel prize for physics and she's one of only three women in history to win and so that aspect of it also makes it quite interesting absolutely
12:16 pm
especially in a year like the one that we've had this past year as well as act i'm so tell us i mean why why do you think that the committee chose to award them for this particular work now i mean what is so special about the achievements that they have made that their research lasers are everywhere in society there's so omnipresent we don't notice them in anymore they're in disk drives they're in barcode readers we use them for surgery we use them to make machines we use them we use them they're in every aspect of industry in society and they've become so common that we don't even notice them and because of that the discoveries that were made by these two different groups of researchers. they have really changed the face of physics and industry. in the course of history so that's why they receive the prize for derek i know your you are nobel prize watcher in fact you know quite a lot about this stuff tell us a little bit more about this particular prize i mean who's won it in the past how
12:17 pm
does it usually go for the committee when it comes to physics the interesting thing for me i think is looking at the nobel prize for physics is that it tends to be the prize that everyone knows but it's also the one that people know least about when it comes to the topic some of the some of the greatest names in science albert einstein marie curie the. have won this prize over the years but people tend to know the least about what it actually is and i think that that boils down to we know that these people or they are doing things on the edges pushing the edges of the envelope of of our perceived reality of the universe and we want to honor that and that's why they become sort of such rock stars of the science of the sciences fascinating stuff terry williams our expert breaking it all down for us thank you so much. now we're going to turn to some sports news because soccer star christian over naldo is being sued in the united states by a woman who claims that the portuguese player raped her back in two thousand and nine she says that the assault occurred in all those penthouse suite in the last
12:18 pm
vegas palms hotel the woman bringing the case says that the player quote fixers or his fixers rather tricked her into keeping quiet for a payment of three hundred seventy five thousand dollars las vegas police confirmed that they have reopened a sexual assault case brought by the woman named in the lawsuit we're naldo denying any assault. well now doping in sport has evolved to dramatically in recent decades as cheating athletes and suppliers of banned substances find new ways to get around the rules but the methods are catching those cheaters are also evolving one example is molly a dog with a single focus whether she realizes it or not catching doping cheats. in a swedish municipality just to the north of stockholm a specially trained. dog sniffing illegal substances out of sports.
12:19 pm
molly the springer spaniel is on patrol from also key matches to swimming races and athletics meets. the group and today we have our new troll joining us so we were always molly and she is the world's first doping search dog just only who trained for adopting substances. molly has already discovered substances out on deployment she's caught several athletes out doping according to one hundred. the searches she conducts are certainly thorough we go through the look through restraining. dress codes and buildings where subsystem have been told away. with molly already making sports here more secure and fair it's no wonder that anti doping agencies across europe are thinking of following in
12:20 pm
sweden's footsteps. well business news now with helen humphrey and we are talking about the future of diesel that's right there of course the german government and its coalition outlining plans for getting dirty diesel powered vehicles off the country's roads according to the transport ministry drivers living and in around the fourteen month polluted cities in germany can take advantage of trade incentives and retrofit diesel cars that exceed european emission levels the commoner factors are expected to pay for most of the costs for the retrofits the german government is hoping to avoid court ordered driving bans for diesel cars which were widely discussed in the wake of the ongoing diesel emissions scandal. and tracking this story for us is our financial correspondent power coastin but it is in frankfurt power what more can you tell us about the details of this plan. and there are two strategies to fix up to one point four million
12:21 pm
german diesel cars that may be concerned with this the first strategy and this is what the car makers are going to hope customers will jump for is the trade in incentives so offering a premium of up to ten thousand euro's to bring in your old stinky diesel and get a brand new car but not everyone is going to be able to do that despite the incentives there are worries that a lot of people simply won't be able to afford a new car it's also been tried before in twenty seventeen and only about two hundred thousand people showed up and returned their old car so the second fix is. retrofitting and this is what car makers have been fighting tooth and claw to avoid because it would mean that on their cost they would have to fix the engine and that could cost up to thousands to even three thousand euro per car. and how is this
12:22 pm
development playing out. on the markets for the german called make its. surprisingly car share is our new the really up were down today even though trading volume is pretty high so that means very likely remarks from the paris motor show that is going on right now are sort of weighing this this high bill that carmakers will have to foot but being bill w. for example said it had a contingency plan for braggs the others are coming out with good news as well so this might be an op but share prices have lost in the last couple of months a lot. only the share price has dropped twenty percent in that last year. but it's a different set for us thank you very much. paul just mentioned it that the terrorist motor show opening its doors today with electric cars set to go in the mass market it is a chance to see what will soon be. arriving in showrooms dima c.e.o.

details that ship presented to the q c that is the comic is first or lecturing the vehicle it goes on sale next year manufacturers have invested billions in new battery production as regulators clamp down on vehicle emissions this worry consumers all that willing to pay more for electric cars with concerns about range and the lack of charging networks. well germany says it wants to see one million electric cars on its roads but it's still a long way off the target just over the border though the dutch approving it can be done that cheaper electricity in a better network of charging stations mino ready one hundred twenty thousand electric cars driving through the netherlands. if your battery runs out in amsterdam you never far from a charging station the city already house two and a half thousand and that figure is set to continue rising these two women were production utility company new on energy which is in store significant proportion
12:24 pm
of the stations with subsidies from the local authorities. first of all the dutch government task promote it is still so for electric cars by physical benefits and secondly local governments half invested in charging infrastructure right from the beginning so dose two factors have made this market quite good up till now. on market in many other cities the locations of new charging stations are determined by where residents say they need them. car owners also benefit from major tax incentives for electric cars as a result say city officials residents are being won over to the idea of him ability whether it's transportation personal driver or professional driving we see that people understand that we need to move into electric mobility the biggest challenge is how we can speed up the process and become

a cleaner city. eindhoven a ninety minute drive away already house forty three electrically powered city buses. have a range of around one hundred kilometers on a full battery which needs around half an hour to charge. the buses were retrofitted by. the bus builders order books are currently full thanks also to the dutch government's bush's commitments. twenty twenty five all new protests but few calls should be zero emission and of course a big part of that twenty thirty s will be all operational and in zero emission because twenty twenty five looks far ahead but it's not actually better meanwhile and opens technical university now boasts a special course in electrum ability where students build more efficient batteries but even the netherlands has some catching up to do this professor tells us
