this is news live from berlin germany marks the anniversary of unification following the fall of the wall nearly thirty years ago. the country's leaders gather for a ceremony at berlin state opera house they say german unity is a success story but adds there are still divisions to overcome also on the program i'm scared to go inside a house by myself only go with my parents if they're not with me i won't go in

there was to trauma in the wake of indonesia's earthquake and tsunami a correspondent visits one of the thousands of families struggling with the aftermath plus. president under fire from fellow republicans that's up to him or to the woman who testified last week about an alleged sexual assault by supreme court nominee brett cover no bill asked how this might affect a possible vote on companies appointment later this week. and the winners of the nobel prize for chemistry have been announced three scientists are sharing the award for their work on proteins that sold humankind's chemical problems our correspondent has the details. q. money thank you for your company we begin right here in germany where people all over the country have been marking the twenty eighth anniversary of the nation.

reunification now one of the official celebrations took place at the berlin state opera in the heart of the city with the all present president orchestra playing beethoven the keynote speech was delivered by going to stop president before. he spoke at length about immigration a topic that has shown that has so rather division among germans i want to listen in to part of what he had to say at those celebrations. no one seriously predicted that the berlin wall would fall on november ninth. and who could have guessed that night that it would be possible to achieve german unity within less than a year but we germans seize that opportunity do we really understand how lucky we were. searched for their own self-confidence calmness optimism i see these three things as the basis for a patriotism for our times of patriotism first self-assured nation to make the best

germany in which we are fortunate to live even better viewed as. a correspondent shallow chel some you know has been following the celebrations for us in central belly so shall it was some wood where you are and how gemma celebrating. hi edith yes anticipation is really building here on the streets of l.a. and had a massive concert the studio to kick off in just a few minutes here is iconic brandon bag eight now a short time from now huge number of internationally acclaimed music stars are going to be taking to the stage it is patching a new nose she's behind the massive jan and pop song ninety nine red but it is a big jam and exports now this concert is the culmination of three days of festivities and the benson exhibitions that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets of balad oh i'm joined by three of those people if i can just bring you a head here we have career. and family friends car i guys thanks for joining me.

ok can you tell me why it was important for you to come here today oh you want to live live to the day of celebration today i'm going to see all of. you have it. so you know you were born in east germany you remember the wool fulling was change for you since germany's been reunified oh it's a long time ago and. something lives in a war. or possibilities. right great i was very young and surprise was not to be was a great time and it's something that you want to show your daughter as well. i want to show her the brumberg eight. to remember to get it was. for the time exactly and there's also the big concert as well you guys looking forward to that yes i we can't wait to see the skies were beautiful and there's no

school today. that's a reason to celebrate oh it is i ensure they have that you yeah i want to see all the celebrities and be outside because yeah it's just fine thank you very much as you can see this is the day it's the liberation for so many people have remembering exactly how far this country has come since the reunification twenty eight years ago today so shall i celebrate three mood where you are but let's not forget that the far right is also marching today what can you tell us about that. that's right hundreds of demonstrators were on the streets of central park and not so long ago there was a number of counter demonstrations as well hundreds of people that message was that they completely reject the sentiments of the far right protest and they want to make clear that today is about unity it's about removing divisions rather than promoting divisions thank you very much shallow child some people. and staying with

that story i'm now joined by a veteran joanne genest mr van onselen a thank you for joining us so as we've been saying twenty eight years since the unification but there's an interesting survey which was conducted by an knit group saying that only one in three germans believe that the country has grown more united is a situation really that bad well if you were to travel as a foreigner from west to east germany you wouldn't see any difference there or the country has been rebuilt a lot of progress progress has been made hundreds of billions of euros have been spent to rebuild is germany and the prime minister of the law just east german states that sonia. craig said this is the best germany we have ever had yet there's a big dark cloud over us on this very day and even chance now uncle america had to admit that the process of you and if occasion is not complete and when we look at

the deeper issues of this still these differences when it comes to wages representation in government for example do we see the difference between the east and the west yes we absolutely see that. while all people in this germany are doing so much much better than thirty years ago in communist germany there's still feel left behind a lot of them feel left behind and the facts support that i mean they just are liking. big company has its headquarters in east germany but that doesn't mean nothing is getting produced in these german even a b.m.w. is producing there are forces producing there you have a kind of a silicon valley interesting so it's a very mixed bag actually and so on the one hand what we're seeing is a relative strength of the if davis is the anti immigrant pati here in germany and we're also seeing people who feel left behind in the east is that link between

these two zero. definitely i mean a lot of people and use germany if didio trying to divert germany as a protest movement and that is why they get so much support and it's also true a recent poll has shown that forty six percent of the people in is germany have a problem with the concept of democracy just of course very boring and so you see there is a growing government and to democracy sentiment in east germany of course you have that also in west germany but it's so much stronger and east so you've been following be a reunification process as a journalist full of the twenty eight years what do you think what the chancellor at the time home would cause and his interior minister. do you think they were aware of how this would test germany and its democracy at that time no of course not i mean nobody has a blueprint for a real unification process like this and nobody headed back then and so

nobody thought it would evolve the way it did it takes time obviously it takes effort and it takes and the keyboard it takes recognition this is what people in east germany i'm missing most of the recognition for their own lives for what they have achieved in the past thirty years and this is very important to listen to them then a veteran kim a generalist thank you for joining us thank you for having me well thore sees in indonesia say the number of dead from last week's quake is now more than fourteen hundred survivors of the disaster facing their fifth day with little food and water some aid is now being delivered to the region but government admits that the relief effort is slow and blames widespread damage to infrastructure i lack of fuel well best in hotdish reports from. all morning nordin has been running from one

government distribution center to another but he keeps being turned away the aid is being taken to other places there's food and water in this truck you know where they're going. out i don't know what we do know is all the aid from this place is going to the main relief center. he shows us a whole list of things he desperately needs for himself and his family twenty four people that signed in stamp but he still ends up with nothing. in it and so i think about it i registered and started hearing yesterday but i was told to come back today when i was here early in the morning they told me i'd come to the wrong place . they should i should have gone to a different distribution center that look like they're going to get a lot of the. distribution centers like this one all around the city people are lining up to get supplies but because coordination of aid distribution is still an issue many end up empty handed. like noureddine he takes me home to meet his family

they've all been living under a tarp since the earthquake especially the children are traumatized. but they don't go back there because even when there's no earthquake off to shock i always feel like the ground is moving around like i'm really afraid sad and then i realize there's no earthquake but because i'm so afraid i'm imagining it didn't always feel like it's moving so i'm scared to go inside a house by myself at only go with my parents if they're not with me i won't go in it's them i see. they're telling me they're running low on food and drinking water it's the smallest to suffer the most many of the children are sick and hungry the youngest tiara is only one month old. my baby isn't in very good health at the moment she has a rash because of the heat we need milk diapers medicine and other things for her.

family are not alone in their fear and despair all over paulo thousands are camping out and supplies are scarce at every turn. nowhere is this more obvious than at the city's gas stations. the distribution of the valuable commodity is heavily guarded. prices at this regulated pump are as always but on the black market gas sells for up to five times as much fuel is a lifeline. some people here have been waiting for seven hours just to get five liters of gas they need it not only to power their motor bikes and cars but also generators that create electricity so they can charge for example their mobile phones to stay in touch and receive updates on the situation from the authorities the lines here are endless at the moment we're at number seven hundred eighty nine

and there are many more canisters the one writing the numbers on them but at the moment he can't because his pen has run out. yet another hick up if ever so slight in their attempt to organize the chaos. but with more help promised the people here hope they can soon start to rebuild their ravaged lives. let's not look at other stories making headlines this hour russian president vladimir putin has described a form of. calm and a traitor to the motherland and his daughter found slumped on a public bench. very much britain's. poisoned with a nerve agent administered by russia. portugal and you. a star christian over naldo has firmly denied accusations of rape against him saying he has a clear conscience police have reopened an investigation into an alleged incident

in las vegas in two thousand and nine the footballer describes rape as quote an abominable crime and said it goes against everything he believes in. astronaut alexander guest has become the first german to command the international space station the forty two year old who fans know as astro alex was presented with a symbolic hatch at a ceremony on board is only the second european to leave that i assess during its seventeen years of operation and thanks for joining us thanks for making. britain's prime minister to resign me has called for unity in her conservative party tories a divided of a maze approach to negotiations with the european union over leaving the block. and up to waltzing on stage to the song dancing queen may delivered a speech that was upbeat to the annual conservative party conference in birmingham

she said that the u.k. was prepared for a no deal bragg's it but insisted she can negotiate a deal with brussels it's good for britain pressure is growing on the conservatives ahead of an e.u. summit in two weeks at that summit the remaining twenty seven countries are expected to insist on a resolution over the issue of the border between north and island and the republic of ireland and i want us to hear a bit of what me had to say about the talks to leave the e.u. what we are proposing is very challenging for the e.u. but if we stick together and hold. on i know we can get a deal that delivers for britain. no one wants a good deal more than me but that has never getting the deal at any cost. britain isn't afraid to leave with no deal if we have to i did abuse back at mars has been covering the tory conference for us she sent us

this assessment of tourism a speech with a speech here at the party conference and birmingham to reason may want to reuse had her position as a center ground politician she said she wanted to lead a moderate patriotic government while she was attacking the labor position for being on the hard left she didn't announce very many new policies but she promised more money for new homes and also for the health service the n.h.s. all this went down well with the delegates here at a party conference on breck's it not much new she did get applause when she said that she wants to keep the us allies but she got even more applause when she said she was prepared to walk away with out a deal and she said she was going to stand up for britain now her partners and brussels are expecting really some compromises for the negotiations ahead i don't

think that this speech here in birmingham will have helped the negotiations in the coming weeks very much. you're watching news still to come. he is nobel prize in chemistry for their work in harnessing the power of evolution from a science correspondent about how their discoveries are proving. obvious his so you know it's time for the business and the debt crisis it seems in the eurozone could reignite but this time with an italian flavor nothing against italian flavor eat it but this time it could actually get better for the eurozone and the question here is italy actually becoming europe's new problem child some say the italian economy has been an issue for years and now the new economic plans of the italian government are increasingly worried in brussels after italy said it would increase public spending starting next year the president of the european commission. and of warning the government to scale back its spending instead the

markets are already fear a new euro debt crisis could be on the horizon. prime minister juicer picante is main focus is on damage control after a meeting with top ministers the italian leader pledged to shrink his nation's debt burden in a later interview italy's economics minister provided more details he said the government wanted to gradually reduce the country's debt in stages from two point four percent to two percent of g.d.p. within three years italy's new debt is a hot topic across europe right now after all the country is the euro zone's third largest economy yet its struggling its national debt is twice what it should be unemployment is high the country's banks stand on shaky ground and the e.u. has long demanded the introduction of reforms but there are still many in italy's populist government who want to increase spending not reduce it it was one of their

key election promises. to retreat from two point four percent would mean telling italians you won't retire we won't raise your pension we won't compensate those cheated by the banks and we won't establish a basic income so we won't back down and if necessary we'll explain it in public square as. there's clearly still much to discuss and prime minister contact will tackle the issue again today clarity will be essential for nervous financial markets to this week the yield on italian benchmark bonds hit three point four percent and almost five year high. well clearly italy needs money and if you're wondering where the money will come from well there are some unusual sources to the italian government just auctioned off licenses to use its ultrafast five g. mobile phone frequencies collecting an unexpected six and a half billion euros that's well over the two and a half times more than what it had hoped for vodafone italy and then economy tell

us said they've committed to around two point four billion euros between them the surprise income is a boon for rome meanwhile other countries are planning similar auctions with germany set to sell off its fifth generation frequencies next spring. to the u.s. now where donald trump as you know has had no shortage of affairs and scandals but what the new york times recently found out could damage the image of the u.s. president has built for himself the article states that trump didn't make his fortune as an entrepreneur after all it was largely the result of his family's questionable tax tricks. us president donald trump likes to present himself as a self-made billionaire and entrepreneur. according to him he took a one time loan of a million dollars from his father and used it to create an empire worth billions. but a recent new york times article could destroy that image after months of research

the reporters have collected piles of financial files belonging to the trump clan according to the documents trump's father fred didn't just give him a one time loan he would regularly gave millions sometimes in the form of real estate all told the transfers amounted to around half a billion dollars the transfers to donald trump and his siblings were made to evade paying taxes and the president knowingly took part in the fraud. the allegations may no longer be relevant under criminal law because they were made too long ago but if the allegations are true the city of new york for example could still claim millions in damages and it doesn't look good for the president if he systematically evaded taxes. so it's not surprising that trump had his lawyers state that the accusations of tax evasion and fraud are one hundred percent false.

to a story about someone who might become a millionaire but in the right way to silicon valley there's a start up with a difference in oklahoma farm boy had a vision he thought he could feet the world and in the process solve some of the most pressing problems faced by farmers and farming practices on the planet brandon alexander has started the world's first robotic farming enterprise other automated indoor farms have been tried previously a project by google x. laboratory flopped because the multi-well to have million dollar the tech giant couldn't make the economics work. after two years of tinkering the greens grown in this warehouse in san carlos california are finally making their way to people's cell of bowls iraq's uses hydroponics systems that conserve water and robots that reduce the need for employees. the department of agriculture says it's difficult to attract workers to u.s.

farming jobs because of the low pay and according to the u.s. department of labor nearly half of u.s. farm workers planting and picking crops are in the country illegally. farming is facing a labor scarcity crisis that every farmer we've talked with and we talk with dozens there are facing the same issue they cannot get enough helping hands the average age of a farmer is fifty eight years old and we're finding that not just the united states but even globally. the cern carlos warehouse runs up a mess of electricity bill for the high powered lights to grow plants in the next phase the company plans to set up robot farms in greenhouses where they can use sunlight for iron oxides raised six million u.s. dollars startup capital so far. for that money they're at least producing enough letters to feed their own employees. or are we back for business news later on until then we coming from one smart idea to another even i love the good news

stories that we have so let's keep that momentum going with the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm which has announced this year's nobel prize for chemistry and the three separate recipients brother francis arnold and george smith of the u.s. and britain's gregory winter the nobel committee said they'd been given the prestigious award for their work in developing proteins of of human kind chemicals problems for you that you and the. next is here to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision and also what this prize really means so these researchers work in different fields so why are they sharing this prize all three harness the power of evolution that's how the nobel prize committee described their achievements they actually brought kind of evolution to chemistry but also to evolution itself because they took control of evolution in a way what they did was to create new proteins and proteins are the basis of all life on earth and they used evolution or principles for this which means that they

first. so they first created mutations which means changing the genes and then they selected the most the fittest ones and this is called directed evolution directed evolution all sounds very fascinating but there's three winners here and i want to start with francis old what exactly did she do so she worked with enzymes that's also pratinas which can and which can cause chemical reactions what she did was enzyme engineering and i've actually always said that today in today's life to create new materials and new chemicals which we need for everyday life we can't stick to traditional chemistry but we need to to use the tool kit of. nature and of evolution so that's what she did she took small enzymes she created. random mutation and. then kind of.

she gave the mutation and then she selected the fittest and there were new enzymes coming out of this and they can catalyze no new materials new chemicals which haven't been there before and they can be used for biofuels for example or for greener plastics i quite like what you said about using nature's toolbox but what about george smith and gregory winter why are they getting the other half of this prize so they lose they used the method the directed evolution and different way they used the method which is called phages just plain phage is. this sounds kind of weird faders are small by resendiz that have the ability to enter into big tyria and they used this method of this process to create kind of some sort of magnet or some sort of fishing hook of a protein which then pulls anti-bodies and antibodies let's recall those small

bodies in our body it's help us fight diseases and then the next there was to create new bodies and they are the basis for a new farmer's pharmaceutical now so greg winter actually already founded a company which works on from a sort of goes on the spaces and there are more from it so that colds in the pharma pipeline some of them can already cure inflame of inflammatory bowel disease and the others could cure in the future of cancer or even. well. thank you for making sense of this very complex. subject for us my pleasure. it watching t.v. news still to come its touchstone for mascot the french german probe that will be piggybacking on an asteroid well the next few hours find out what scientists are hoping to learn from the data is being back to earth. and the movie inspired by

germany's top artist get. his experiences during the dockets chapter of german history provided the inspiration for germany's current oscar entry you never know. but taking a really short break we'll be back with more story to faking. load contentious food hollowed out the hero in germany i think form charles is one of the great heroes of the twentieth century mikhail gorbachev the last leader of the soviet union was an agent of change quickly met his downfall to resign my duties as president. the hour was time gorbachev and the opportunity for peace wasted in forty five minutes long d.w. . in the cold peace in germany to learn german. emerged in the cold

most dangerous. music documentary became a story about those seeking refuge. ready to go. came over the city from cameroon to berlin starts october fourth. welcome back here with the news our top story the president of germany's parliament has called on all germans to defend democracy and the rule of law was speaking at official ceremonies in bringing to market in germany unite unity day the anniversary of german reunification in one thousand nine hundred. five as of last week's earthquake and tsunami in indonesia facing their fifth day with little food and water some aid is trickling into the region but the government admits the

relief effort is no blaming widespread damage to infrastructure and the lack of fuel. over the past three years an armed conflict in the west african nation of mali has claimed hundreds of civilian lives and displaced thousands of people mostly from the more region in the south told the country the united nations reports that more than seven hundred schools have been closed across the country by the end of the last academic year. but the beginning of the school year is a cause for celebration the warring dog and for the army armed groups have signed a cease fire several school houses have reopened their doors for the first time in over a year. it was a special day for the schoolchildren and mopti as prime minister assume a loop obey may get visited the region to oversee a cease fire between armed groups he stopped by the classroom to celebrate its reopening. violence forced hundreds of schools across the region

to shutter but at the conference to finalize an agreement between militant groups megacity was hopeful that a holton fighting would allow many more children to return to school. in this region more than four hundred schools have been closed since last year. i think we could have been at least half of them this year. to hundreds of millions of cell phones now belloc is similar to other systems that allow regional authorities to send out weather warnings and child abduction an annoyance. but there are concerns that this could turn into a new personal megaphone for the president to talk just people have been receiving what i understand alerts on the foreign and even some i think but basically like i

said it's a test but when it's put in place for real the person who only has the authorization to to do that is the president donald trump which means he also gets to choose what is a national crisis and what you know can this message go out and should it go out you know when you say that i think of trump and how he uses twitter so the immediate question is will he use this as for his political purposes well i sort of headlines today saying the tweezer in chief is becoming the texture in chief in answer to a question or and that's because of a law that expressively prohibits the system the presidential alert system for being used in anything other than a national emergency but like i said he's get he is the one that gets to decide what is a national emergency but he probably isn't able to jump on like on this system like you can on twitter and fire away and of course he's not he's not the one actually sending the nuts up to another agency but some people are wondering can i ought out

of these messages like you can with emergency alert sin of the states in the us the answer is no you cannot if you've got a cell phone and if you're in range of a cell tower out what are u.s. citizens saying about all people seem to be a little bit cranky necessary to have this alert to our far into the national this alert to our far into the national process do we really need something like that others are saying that getting this alert without any kind of warning from the president is a violation tag go dark october third saying that they're going to switch off this person right. yeah they say we can't opt out but they can get through to a fire and not use turned off like i said earlier this isn't trump's personal twitter account and there are legal protections in place to stop that from happening but since not everyone believes the quiet gerry dreamed from data via social media desk thank you i want to stay in the u.s. where president donald trump is facing heavy criticism for fellow from fellow

republicans for mocking a woman who claims she was assaulted by supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh senator jeff flake described trump's comments as appalling while senator susan collins labeled his comments as quote just plain wrong trump made the comments at a campaign rally in mississippi and i'd like you to listen to what he said thirty six years ago. i had one beer right i had one beer well. it was a good how did you get home i don't remember how did you get there at all remember where is the place i don't remember how many years ago was it i don't know i was are you on i don't love you or what neighborhood was it i don't know where's the house of the upstairs downstairs where was i don't know but i had one beer that's your living room with us and a man's life is in tatters

a man's wife and she. well for more let's speak to our correspondent who is in washington it's good to see you what effect could trump's remark have on senators especially those who remain undecided on cover nose nomination. but edith as you yourself said there are three key senators who have really. drawn some iyer from trump's comments yesterday as you said susan collins of maine lisa murkowski of alaska also said call these inappropriate on acceptable jeff flake of arizona who's now known as the one who demanded this weeklong f.b.i. investigation that we're in the middle of or possibly at the end of right now said that is just not right that the president made these comments and these are three of possibly five or six swing votes in this. vote that's going to be happening possibly as soon as tomorrow or friday u.s.

time. there is a sense among a lot of conservative commentators that the kavanaugh might be damaged goods at this point but the president as we have seen this still very much throwing his entire weight behind kavin on this is a president who as we know does not like to lose and as you mentioned law me because are still awaiting the results of the revived f.b.i. background check on judge cover now so what should we expect next. yeah there are even rumors that are unconfirmed or there are rumors flying around the f.b.i. report could actually be finished as early as this afternoon sometime possibly tomorrow morning what happens after that is theoretically of the senator would receive the report read it evaluate it and then go forward with this vote on judge kavanaugh the thing is there's really no legal procedural precedent for this mitch mcconnell the leader of the senate could just call will vote really any time he

wants and them waiting for this f.b.i. report is really just a courtesy and a lot depends what's in the report in general there are a lot of people who are saying that it's really not going to turn up anything particularly because there have been reports that there are a lot of people who tried to contact the f.b.i. saying they had things they wanted to say about either judge cavanagh or his accuser christine blazin forward and they were not considered by the f.b.i. and they were not interviewed ultimately mio we reported you know business and that the new york times has revealed that trump who calls himself a self-made billionaire actually received hundreds of millions of dollars from his father's real estate empire what's behind all that. exactly as this is been a new investigative report that's come out the question is whether or not this really matter if you are someone who does not support the president this is more

evidence and substantial evidence i should say as to exactly why you should like the president exactly what his dealings were that make him in your mind an unsavory character but if you're someone who's a trump supporter and if you like this guy if you voted for this guy this is not something that matters so the question that's going to propel us forward here is what do those people who are sort of on the fence about trump take away from this. thank you. german foreign minister is in washington to launch a year long multi million euro publicist to come pain called together the campaign is meant to highlights the country's close ties and mas also met with his u.s. counterpart mike to discuss syria the nuclear deal with iran and relations with russia now germany's charm offensive in the u.s. comes a need repeated repeated verbal attacks from president on on its long time. prior to his departure for the united states said good relations between the two nations

remain non-negotiable. have eased back with a business and it looks like good news streak is over because you're going to tell us about his struggle to solve its economic issues that's right a struggle that has been long in that is not really getting better turkey has seen prices increased by twenty five percent just in september the turkish there already lost forty percent of its value this year and it's getting worse before keeping a currency that won't allow you to buy anything people are trying to get rid of it the problem is by doing so they are bringing a looming financial crisis just one step closer. euro dollar british pound swiss franc it doesn't matter these customers just one currency that isn't constantly losing its value. istanbul's exchange agencies are a gauge of turkey's economic crisis more and more turks are losing faith in their currency and rushing to exchange their leader us despite government calls to the

contrary and the falling value of the leader is making imports more expensive prices are rising and living costs are following suit it's a vicious cycle that's only getting worse in january inflation in turkey was around ten percent half a year later in june it had jumped to fifteen percent and the most recent figures from september show that the crisis isn't getting better last month prices rose by twenty five percent the highest rate in over fifteen years. turkey's finance minister blames foreign speculators for turkey's economic woes saying it was an attempt to cow the country in the coming weeks he hopes to announce measures to rein in the rampant inflation it's a daunting challenge for years president economic growth with loans is simple is building an expensive third airport and entirely new districts all of those mega projects are being financed with foreign debt and those loans have to be paid back

in dollars or euros which are getting more expensive due to the weekly rate it seems a financial crisis is already knocking at the door. e.u. lawmakers have agreed to a series of targets to reduce c o two levels the immediate goal is to reduce c o two emissions of cars and vans twenty percent by twenty twenty five by twenty thirty the greenhouse gas must then be reduced by forty percent at least a theory that denmark is. actually one step further and plans on banning all diesel and gasoline vehicles by twenty thirty and country wants to lead the way in fighting climate change by twenty fifty it plans of being completely fossil fuel. well let's talk about another approach to fighting climate change instead of targeting cars planes and factories what about agriculture experts have been on the issue for years turns out cows for example could be more damaging to the environment than we think and a company called agel in is hoping to cash in on the problem here's how. they

might look harmless but in fact they're monsters at least as far as global warming is concerned the culprit their digestive gases now the un's getting involved. they actually from the cows it's a little bit of the fox they contribute about four percent of all c o two equivalent of gas emissions when we look only at me fane which is one of the greenhouse gases it's about thirty percent. a small business in switzerland says it may have found a solution he produces a feed supplement which reduces the damaging emissions by ten percent for cows according to the company's co-founder a million cows in the e.u. already receive the supplement something he's proud of so it is i think should we do the math one million counties represent a reduction of three hundred thousand tons of c o two today which would be so little powder supplement with your grass that way says the company even bovines can

do their bit for climate protection. and until we find solutions for climate change maybe it's intelligent to explore space a little bit more right into the well that's exactly what is happening today about ten you know what scientists are doing they've successfully landed an observation device on an asteroid the japanese space agency confronted the landing a short while ago and the german french probe named mascots touchdown on the asteroid. it was launched on a japanese rocket maybe four years ago. now mascot is part of an effort to find clues about the origin of the filesystem. the spacecraft's journey took three and a half years only making the final approach in recent weeks. finally the critical moment is that hand the mothership drops mask gently towards the asteroid surface mascots lightweight help sure it wouldn't be damaged by the impact

but it had to land on a flat surface to unpack itself and get to work. my colleagues and i attached the camera to the module the most exciting thing for me is the first image when you see what's up there it's like you were there yourself. hundreds of researchers worked for months to find the perfect landing spot it had to offer something of interest for everyone but it couldn't be too hot or too cold so that mask its batteries didn't run out and it could send the most out of possible. asteroids like real who are like exhibits from our deepest past they've been around more than four and a half billion years formed from the same cloud of matter that made the planets the original materials have remained a virtually unchanged and asteroids this kilometer long chunk of rock is interesting to scientists for another reason to.

quote because its trajectory crosses the earth's orbit it could someday collide with the earth. and that's something we'd very much like to prevent. if you know exactly how it's composed then you could think whether to give it a little push away change its rotation for instance so that it would fly past earth in the end the. mascot is barely bigger than a shoe box but it's loaded up with high tech instruments they'll be put to use now figuring out the composition of reuse surface inside mascot is a kind of flywheel that will help the module hop around a real good surface and investigate but mascot doesn't have much time its batteries are only expected to last sixteen hours the first pictures are expected to arrive back on earth in the coming days.

a painter struggles with german history in the new film now the new coen tells the story of a man who tries to turn his and his country's past trauma into hot never look away hits theaters today just in time for german unity day. and joining me to talk about the film and about how german filmmakers have struggled to tell the stories of a divided and reunify germany's d.w. cinema experts roxboro there we go. so this new movie is from the director lives of others i'm just picking up the title there which is also about german history and the time of the cold war why german filmmakers seem to be rather fascinated by the time before the wall came down yeah it's interesting i mean you know the country that seems so obsessed with its own own history is as germany and this director floyd hankel found almost mark is in

particular very obsessed with the german history of actually just met him at a film festival a couple of days ago and we were talking about his new movie and he said really it's about identity he said prickly now i mean on german unity day everyone's talking about it what does it mean to be german what is german identity and donna's mark like so many german directors thinks the only way you can really understand german identity is to look into the past and see sort of how we got here and so his new film never look always exactly about that it's a portrait of an artist who basically tries to decode the trauma of german history in his own personal trauma as a way to understand who he really is what we take a look. court is destined to become an artist in a germany ravaged by history nazi murders war and decades of division. never look back shows the artist's past starting with childhood. as a boy in nazi germany when his subversive and elisabetta takes him to an exhibition

intended by the nazis to shame experimental artists. just as either of us that doesn't cut and. one couldn't. and if he's a bad school positive take on what the nazis deemed degenerate art inspires him to see the world through a different lens. is right. but he's a beds turns out to have schizophrenia. even. because of her disorder the nazis card if he's a bad away and eventually send her to the gas chambers director floyd on hanko from donna's mark tells this oppressive tale with pathos as a family story. it's about how intertwined perpetrators and victims were within

families that's what it was like in all of germany. after the war germany is divided into two countries could escapes the east german regime to seek his artistic freedom in west germany. but the weight of history is inescapable the doctor who ordered his aunt's murder turns out to be his future father in law. it's a story based on real life on the biography of germany's top artist. whose own aunts was ordered killed by his former father in law and whose career has been a reckoning with his country's history and his place in it. elements from get how to push his life became the starting point for this film but then i created my own path and story from there. that because i find fiction somehow becomes more real and true when it isn't tethered to a pure facts and real life events. the

result never look away it's a three hour saw go about transforming the trauma of decades of german history into art. so just looking about report it looks like a really intense movie but you said it's about german identity what is it trying to say to one day germans yeah basically it is it is a bit of a rough ride i mean it's a heavy story german history is i have the story but it is i mean he's basically trying to say that the only way germans can find their own identity is by looking at the past looking at both the good and the bad i mean i think what's really interesting about this film is what he said in the piece which is he sees portrays germany as a family of both victims and perpetrators and then what is interesting in the film is that he says maybe it's possible to find a reconciliation through art through the creation of our of in some ways it's

similar to his first film the lives of others which which won the oscar in that film we have the main character is a stasi agent and he is spying on a east german artist but then through this contact with the artist listening to him he understands the life of another and develops empathy and eventually then turns against the evil totalitarian system maybe that's a romantic notion that our can can can can help the world but at least it's a positive one and is quite a positive message for german reunification there and just to tag on to something that you said that the director whose name i shall not attempt on going to the easiest that i can create heating and unification can movies really heal the divide that exists between east and west yeah i don't know i mean you can always exaggerate the power of our but i think at least it can help i mean i don't know how you see it but i think film is sort of the ultimate empathy machine you know

it's the one. of our. well you really can slip into the life of another and see things from their perspective and since the fall of the wall you had a lot of films that dealt with german reification a lot of them from the east german perspective most famous probably a good bye lenin in which we have the story of the cation told from the east coast east perspective told us a comedy and this was a huge huge hit in germany and around the world and i think it really did help to start a dialogue in germany about how easterners saw reason for cation and how they felt that maybe they've been a bit left out of the story of their own history and may be treated as second class citizens obviously it can't do the whole job politics has a lot to do but at least it maybe can start a dialogue and especially i think with comedies where everyone can get together and laugh about things i think back and helpful ah well scott roxboro.
