chose to honor yazidi campaign or not be a rod and congolese dr dennis macwhich for their efforts to put a stop to rape as a weapon of war. not here mourad was one of those women in two thousand and fourteen she was kidnapped in mosul and handed over to a militant from the so-called islamic state by religious she managed to escape and described her ordeal to the un security council. humiliated on an every day he gave me clothes that didn't cover my body i could no longer bear the rape and torture so why escaped. in two thousand and fourteen years edis in northern iraq fled i asked militants. well you see the men were killed some three thousand girls and women were taken as slaves. nattie who are out went on to become the un's first goodwill ambassador for survivors of

human trafficking. denis mukwege is a renowned gun ecologist who treats victims of sexual violence he has helped tens of thousands of women at his hospital in east congo. as a weapon of war is dish humanizing and he mini ating in need of a weapon which has plagued east congo for decades here the offenders go largely unpunished. we won't be intimidated men and women must stand up together against rape and war. who quit again has already received a number of international awards the nobel peace prize now the crowning achievement in his career. well let's talk first about not able ride we have you sandra pick just one with us she spent time in northern iraq reporting on the community and joins us here in our studio hi sandra so she was announced as one of the laureates

did that surprise you today yes yesterday women were thinking who might get it we thought yeah probably woman connected to maybe they have technique to campaign but then today not you're more right i think it's a perfect choice together with dennis mccuaig what do you think she has contributed to raising awareness in terms of fighting sexual violence i mean she is certainly the face of the yazidi community those survivors of the genocide of campaign inflicted by islamic state and if you look back at always two thousand and fourteen when the attack happened of course the word was very ill and we all you know spoke about the community but what is happening today they have nearly slipped out of sight and if it weren't for brave people survivors like not willing to revisit their trauma again and again publicly you know and it also means the reoccurring mental and physical shocks as they do so we would probably not be talking about them anymore and not your morace has been through hell and back has been gang raped

she has been sold like cattle on safe markets in mosul you know she was burned with cigarette butts if you think about it and then she managed to escape coming to germany in two thousand and fifteen with a special program now living in stark guts and being really the face of the community you visited the yazidi community in northern iraq this year how much has this incredible trauma from sexual violence affected this community very much so they really have flaw. their home meant in northern iraq most of the still in iraq cliff in refugee camps and they don't really have people speaking up for that and it's those ones who are outside like not your mourad who are very much the face and if you think about it back then about seven thousand women were abducted were enslaved though i think it's to my the term if you think what they were you know. up to what kind of day horror they had to live through and out of those seven

thousand about half a still missing we don't know where they are and when we were there one women came back after four years and you know she was like so fragile and could hardly talk to us so we couldn't pose personal questions to oshie set this please free them all and in order not to forget we need someone like an oxymoron and she's now been named the nobel peace prize laureate one of two what do you think that means to the community i think a lot because for them it essentially means do not forget us and and all that peace prize you know it resonates around the world so maybe for a couple of days from now we will be keeping to talk about that again which we haven't done in the past couple of weeks you mentioned the me too movement how do you see this connected to me too i mean if you look at the two novels laureates of today they could have gotten the price years ago but it took the need to moment to really focus on the issue of women being turned into a weapon of war that has been happening for decades for centuries but it's today

that we speak about it in the need to moment all right we're speaking but not a mirage one of the two nobel peace prize laureates named today did you send her a pitch as month thank you very much. and let's talk now about the other laureate a dentist and we have some to let us from the africa africa desk with us to some to first reaction from dennis mccuaig a has come and now tell us more about what he's said. i i i just know that he was operating in his ponzi hospital and he was a little bit shocked because. at one time he saw women coming in and shouting and he didn't know what what to do and i can imagine that a lot of people are going to celebrate with him today he's been called dr americal and you know this announcement was a long time coming from many of supporters did you see it as a surprise. but i did it because i mean it has been as if

a favorite for years now a lot of people have been speculating that he would win the nobel peace prize but it didn't come to be and i think it is about time to have him quit. as as the queen of peace prize which is very important in full what he has been believing believing and i mean doctor i'm quoting has been cold to miracle not for a reason because he actually has been fighting for these women who have been gang wrapped and nobody has been taking care of him and remembering ozil from his first victim who was just you know like me to his away from his hospital he the way he explained it to these other women who have been out there who need help but at the same time they didn't get any help anywhere so i think it's really about

time that dr mcwade has gotten this this prize a simple tell us more about dr mcwade has life and his work. well there are over sixty years old to here is a gynecologist but if we look back a little bit from his history he started medicine and he studied medicine because he wanted to help women who were having childbirth problems but then in one thousand ninety nine the time that the second war in is in congo was raging in that area he saw so many women who were helpless and he decided not only to take this as a code but also as a mission to help women to you know like get them get their lives back and he that's why he was has been also code as

a doctor miracle because he has been not only. has been seen as hope for many women in islam congo but he has been also seen a fighter a fighter who has been fighting for the. for the rights of women only for the sexual violence that has been seen as a weapon of war so. and this is what i actually met him to have also enemies in two thousand and twelve he actually he's president was was kind of. you know attacked and he had to flee the country and in two thousand and fifteen the panzi hospital was also an account that comes of ponzi hospital where frozen so it's i mean he's having also enemies everywhere because of his work all right well he's being awarded for the very important work that he's done today winning the nobel peace prize something like this for us from to africa desk thank

you so much thank you. to the u.s. now where the senate is poised for a first crucial vote on whether to advance the nomination of president trump's supreme court pick that's after the f.b.i. submitted its report on allegations of sexual misconduct against judge brett kavanaugh a final vote to confirm him could come as soon as saturday protests against his nomination continue and tensions in washington are high. they are determined to stop brett kavanaugh ask confirmation even as it seems ever more likely. actress amy schumer and model emily radicality can join democrats in voicing their opposition to donald trump's pick for the supreme court. vote for cavanagh is a vote saying women don't matter. let's stay together let's fight let's keep showing up. inside police made more than three hundred arrests after

demonstrators took over a senate office building they in democratic senators believe a weeklong f.b.i. inquiry into sexual misconduct allegations against kavanaugh was incomplete. the f.b.i. did not interview brett kavanaugh nor did the f.b.i. interview dr blasi for what we've heard from numerous people over the last few days seeking to provide information to the f.b.i. we have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the f.b.i. but were not interviewed but republicans say the inquiry findings have vindicated cavanagh they want the chamber to now move forward with a vote sherman grossly faded this morning neither be judicial committee nor they have located any third parties who are going to try to any of these allegations no back up for any witnesses.

including those specific claims. as eyewitnesses by the people who brought the allegations on first reuters the f.b.i.'s probe has not lessened the opposition in the streets of washington but it may have increased kavanaugh support on capitol hill two of the three undecided republicans have now indicated satisfaction with the report's findings bringing the controversial judge even closer to a lifetime post on the supreme court. well the kavanah controversy has become another flashpoint in the me too movement against sexual harassment by men in power and it's been a year since today since the movement took off sparked by explosive allegations against hollywood producer harvey weinstein one year on me to still remains a powerful force on social media and we have our social media editor jared reed with us hi jared let's take a look back at how many to start it so you're right in saying that me too has been

in sort of our collective conscience for a year but it actually began back in two thousand and six it was set up by an american civil rights activist named to run a book but you're right it was when harvey harvey weinstein's story broke in the new york times that we old heard about what me too was and that's largely because of these tweets by the actress alyssa milan or she writes here if you've been sexually harassed or a soul to write me to you as a reply to these tweets if all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote me to is this status we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem and we've seen a die a million people responded to these twenty's and on facebook the hashtag was used by four million people in twelve million posts in just one day and of course the spock's is ignited this movement where women came out to talk about men who'd been abusive to them powerful men and it wasn't just the entertainment industry this shauna lived on unacceptable behavior and old sorts of injured industries like the

media politics technology and sports and academia. and old in just one year tell us more about the concept. that took place decades ago and this is led to a discussion as to why people white so long to to open up and one very recent example of course is donald trump dr christine blasi forward. brett kavanaugh assaulted her and that's. why i didn't report sexual assault is very underreported in some of the tweets that we've just very sad this person writes i thought it was normal and that i thought probably in myself i thought no one would care and i thought i was an important off the ball i thought i was alarmed why i didn't report and this from the actress daryl hannah i did report it didn't i was just missed i was just and yet i still get blamed.

offline if you like anonymous pieces of pipe a big type top around new york city drawing attention to the fear that many people have about coming forward from shine to the fear of not being believed now one big question a year on has an impact look i think it has it's highlighted how widespread sexual violence is it's encouraged people to speak out it's made perpetrators probably a bit scared of what they've done in the past i think it's created social change and there's still a long way of course. taking stock of the me too movement when you're on thank you very much. now christiana over now those clubs eventis have been criticized for their reaction to rape allegations made by an american woman against the portuguese player on twitter the italian football club initially praised him for his professionalism since joining the summer a second tweet goes on to say that the alleged events do not change their opinion

publicly on the case. russian president vladimir putin and indian prime minister narendra modi have signed a defense deal during talks in delhi it will see india by ass four hundred air defense systems worth five billion dollars mostly made that deal despite the threat of u.s. sanctions on countries that trade with russia's defense sector. former south korean president lee myung bak has been sentenced to fifteen years in prison of course found the seventy six year old is guilty on several charges including bribery and embezzlement he is the second former south korean president to be jailed in the past six months. leading figures in germany's jewish community are sounding the alarm after the far right alternative for germany party the a.f.p. said it was setting up an internal jewish group now the party has faced criticism after failing to sanction members for downplaying the holocaust and harboring links to neo nazis seventeen jewish organizations have issued

a statement saying that no citizen of germany who cares about democracy could identify with the a.f.p. . that he knew in a town this jewish and he supports the d. when he was nineteen you left ukraine and the discrimination he felt there is a jew and came to germany now he fears anti-semitism here. there are lots of problems in germany which weren't there before and they're only being addressed by the i think. you were talking about the clear up to semitism you can see in the qur'an when women. because there are so many migrants from the region that has this religion it's clear that we're going to see more and more anti semitism in germany there. aren't three people from bush from five process some observers it might seem paradoxical for jewish people to join the h.d. but they have and on sunday this setting up

a formal group in the party was the spokesman is dimitri shorts he's a jew from the former soviet union and he sees if he is the only party fighting muslim anti-semitism i doubt if you that or to the one fortunately many germans have no sense of homeland and this homeland is in danger. that one spot pulling institute says anti-semitism is much more prevalent in the a.s.d. than in other parties and the f.t. leadership has faced repeated criticism for playing down the crimes of the nazis were still there in the nazis and no more than a speck of bird poop in more than a thousand years of successful german history. sergei like routines he is a leading member of prisons jewish community and as far as he's concerned jews joining the a fifteen is a bad joke but he says the party is resonating with some jewish groups and we shouldn't forget that about ninety percent of jewish people in germany are also all

of eastern european origin or mostly come from the soviet union and bring the whole baggage of stereotypes and a kind of a. liberal understanding of democracy and also there are people who are german speakers speaking who. are right wing and who are trying to use this and instrument a lot as this feeling and this is what we're seeing. the jews in the age group would get short shrift at the mazeltov. in berlin the jewish own across the pinsky sees the group as no more than a tactic to divert attention from if d.m. . to some to some. business is something that is irreconcilable jews cannot be involved in a party which is clearly associated with anti semitic motivations and anti semitic people it doesn't make sense to trust people like that and always mention the.

us that pinsky be least if he is clearly anti-semitic and a group of jews in the party won't change that. all right now a new account economics ministers are meeting in austria today talking about how to avoid an all out trade war with the us but garrett that's not the only thing they're talking about deafening not ministers will also be keen to discuss and nother issue as well that's italy and its ongoing standoff with the e.u. it's only as accuse the european commission of ruining it rome is determined to fulfill its electoral promises of lowering taxes and the age of retirement but that would increase national debt and the european commission insists italy must first tough in its fiscal discipline instead italy wants to introduce an amnesty for tax dodgers in terms of national debt italy is second only to greece in the. so will volleys italy a little earlier i spoke to someone who should know me killer garage scene he's the

under secretary of state at the ministry of economic development in rome and i asked him if italy was on the way to becoming the next great. absolutely not today situation between you and italy is a very different you will see in the next few days the edge of the day you propose plan to have the sound of money being spent on in may experience and you know i think whilst annalise this so far i have focused on the ratio of back to two g.d.p. leap but we just from the emphasis on the numerator. we do want to focus more on the lower side of the equation had been obviated growth in the economy which i think it is the only credible and sustainable way to turn a country into a sustainable path for the long term so i do believe that once the issue is that are a fact that i don't lease that and the whole you and i both will fully understand if we have appreciate that skull and all of our plan b.

you've talked about growth the brace the promises on new for cost assuming economic growth of one point five percent next year the european commission expects its allude to grow one point one percent and your own a constant there the main lobby group represent the tally in a business this week cut down its own growth forecast to zero point nine percent is that still you still believe a bull that i think so because those numbers that you mange of the one percent have come out before documenta has been fully released and sold does not include the details of our own mason plan any no way they will do they fully read in the plan they should lead to a upward revision of those estimates that it might take them a little before time based if they change to the long talk him into it but if in fact this is exactly what we have changed over the last year and what we've worked

over the last few months or what's the or your feeling at the meeting there and. getting support from your colleagues that. we did it with these guys to reform you all trade war that was the rule of europe can be and you know way some hope to me is going to be those who want to be away from china who are you. playing a very important role being out of these wars we do have one of the biggest. growth areas no i thought of course the asian markets are going to asia remains a very strong market for us as it is easy for i was at an opportunity thank you very much because i got actually under secretary of state at the ministry of economic development in writing things like that in spite of growing global trade disputes and rising uncertainty over brags that german industries order books are looking healthy the problem of trade and industry says that authors rose two percent in all this international demand for german technology and machinery group

especially from the analysts expected to rise of just half a percent. this off year for germany's pharmacy a lack of rainfall combined with extremely dry sunny weather has scorched grain and feed crops leaving farmers desperate for government but there's always a silver lining because this year's grape harvest has been the best that germany has seen since one thousand nine hundred nine weather extremes in germany have led to excellent wines. the grapes have roots that reach down ten meters into the earth while the summer in germany was dry the winter before that was extremely wet the grapes were able to access those deep moisture reserves which provided a harvest of exceptional yield and quality. because there was gold in the yellow and if you press here on the radio the germans comes out immediately and the grape seeds are brown that means that they're ripe and you know it when you taste it.

on the surface the dry weather means that the grapes will be disease free. the sun drenched grapes take on a rich aroma the red wines had the most benefit from the dry weather which gave the grapes a very deep color but the white grapes have very low a city which attracts customers. we have exceptionally good qualities as well as large quantities this year and such a constellation is very rare this provides good preconditions for being able to serve all markets internationally as well that wasn't the case in twenty seventeen thousand seats in the fight in twenty seventeen german wine exports were only worth three hundred eight million euros experts project twenty eight team will exceed that number by far. of its hope so that's only a business knows its back to survive and you care hard and we're into space now

especially the part of it closest to earth the problem is we're filling it up with trash almost two thousand new objects were added to the astronomical garbage pile last year alone and scientists warn that it could endanger future space expeditions so this week thousands of experts are meeting in germany to try to find a solution to the ever increasing problem of face chuck. the international astronauts congress posted this year by the german city of payment compass rockets satellites and even space stay. anything that humankind launches into orbit but the more we shoot into near it space the bigger our problem with potentially damaging space junk becomes the solving of the vehicle it's like a bullet hitting some object a satellite for instance it will damage or sometimes even destroy it for example if it hits a fuel tank or a battery and causes an explosion or if an object like that even a small one collides with the international space station it can punch a hole in the hull causing an air leak you know if you look at flight our modern

societies have become dependent on such satellite systems for telecommunications navigation and weather forecasting as well as much more that's why experts say we need to act quickly to reduce the risk of damaging this delicate orbiting equipment what it was that we needed something like a vacuum cleaner but that wouldn't work in space of course it's a real challenge some objects will return to the atmosphere and just burn up that's the low orbit objects at an altitude of four hundred to five hundred kilometers and those in high orbits will stay in place more or less forever if it. some possible solutions are in early development and scientists say we need to act quickly before the space around our planet becomes too crowded for us to use. feeling thirsty well you've only got a few more days to catch the world's biggest beer festival the one hundred eighty fifth edition of minix october fest the festival started an eighteen tend to

celebrate a royal wedding now it's an annual event with more than six million visitors and just as many leaders of beer flowing. david leavitt's from do culture is with us for more on this ok david six million liters of beer six million people so one leader prefers and that's kind of a lot that's you also have to figure in that a lot of the visitors are children right so there are either a lot of kids with very hardened livers walking around or so we don't see who are drinking a lot more than just one leader per person you and i know from living in germany people don't walk around every day wearing later hose and drinking tons of beer but that is still the image that some people have and i still can't get over that is not that way of life no it is not and actually most germans in the rest of germany it really look down on october fast but if you take a look at it if you're into drinking if you're into singing and wearing costumes it's hard not to get into the spirit and there are hundreds of thousands of foreign

tourists who go to munich every year to check it out and v.w. sent three reporters from completely different parts of the globe to see what they thought. october fest the world's largest be a festival in the midst of this year's boozy mayhem al three reported as. hello hello i can shine i come from hong kong oh hello i'm jonathan bello i was born in the us and i grew up in zambia i love my name to leon i come from colombia this three week festivals sees locals and tourists alike don't traditional costumes later hosen for the men and journals for the women. we accompanied holly on a gonzales as she went to get help from dirndl design a cloud of dorotea as with many regional or national costumes the details tend to

be significant. down over that of course will put the bow on the right side if you wear this on the right side if you're married or engaged in let's side if you're still available and in the middle if you're a virgin but nowadays hardly anyone does that anymore. look that's kind i'm at. the legendary fourth roy tend to be a hunch and tackles the menu first a giant pretzel. i was amused at this for my taste it was a bit dry because in hong kong we ate very soft drawls i says if i were to then roast chicken another october fest staple is it any different he'll. that he missed it was really delicious the skin is nice and crispy and inside it's absolutely ten to n.g.c. . outrage as next stop takes them to another brewery festival tent move and draw

a picture here a brass band gets the crowd in the mood even if not into the groove. a rather. sobering experience. my first impression is that you generally have to sing along or you should sing along where i grew up in zambia the most important part of any festival is actually dancing i mean the fastest time said. differences aside it's hard for anyone to not get carried away by the posse atmosphere of the mighty october first. i. got a ferris wheel for people who have been drinking that much beer i know that i certainly was not and would not have been in any state to go on a ferris wheel or any of the other rides that's like the calmest of the rides i don't know about you so me you've been there i. think it's safe to say that everyone there was completely and totally sloshed and i would not want to be under

that ferris wheel when they realise that they're not having a good time anymore you also you have to keep in mind that there are no small beers at october fast there are served by the leader and the beer itself is stronger than normal german beer it's got about six percent alcohol rather than the normal five percent so it'll knock out pretty quick ok this is a party but this is also germany so there are rules and there is indeed some sort of beer tent etiquette dancing on the tables for instance the surprise is a lot of people it's actually strictly for both and you can however dance on the benches. then we give the dress code ok later hosing for the mandarin goes for women this is a point of contention because i do you believe the demos are supposed to cover the knee recently there's been a lot of outrage over so-called porno during those good people the respectable people of munich because. they don't like seeing women pouring beer down their cleavage apparently they want to be able to have a three week drinking binge but it's got to be classy right that said visitors may

spontaneously remove articles of clothing so ladies don't show your knees but you can strip go. fager more rules of course this is germany you're not allowed to take the beer glasses home with you now some how about one hundred ten thousand beer steins do mysteriously vanish every year so i'm not saying that rule is meant to be broken but i am saying you would not be alone in breaking it and here's the big one check the dates before you go because most of october fest is actually in september and if your friends dragged you there on opening weekend like mine did expect to get there at the crack of dawn and i have to say we ran for our life to get a table and after practically elbowing everyone else out of the way to get a seat i thought we were going to get a drink but no you have to wait another four hours because you don't get any beer before the mayor of munich himself taps the very first keg at noon and by that time let me tell you or so. now i know this is

a lot to take in and the rest of germany will look down on you forever for going to october fest but it is really worth checking out it is quite a phenomenon and so much history two centuries of traditions that have been interrupted only by a couple of world wars and an outbreak of cholera so i think that really says it all doesn't it feel me right all for anyone who wants a check out of to profess we have more on it on our website website a d w dot com slash culture all right david leavitt's from d.w. culture thank you very much david and he sent me. right and we do have some of breaking news that's coming into us now of the u.s. senate has held a first procedural vote on president trumps a supreme court candidate senators have voted to advance the nomination of judge brett kavanaugh now with that he is now one step closer to a lifetime appointment on the country's highest court a second final vote to confirm his nomination is expected on saturday we're going to bring you more on that story at the top of the hour. you're watching
