i mean. i am. i an. odd place to. be a and . this is due to your news line from berlin another shock resignation from the trump administration . this time it's nikki haley stepping down the u.s. ambassador to the united nations she met with presence of donald trump at the white house to confirm her resignation and will leave her post at the end of the year also coming up saudi arabia yields to international pressure it says that turkish

herat great to have your company everyone while the temperature in the station has been hit by yet another resignation this time the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley she appeared alongside president donald trump at the white house to confirm the move but gave little away about the reasons for her decision she was one of the few original appointees left in trump's team but all stepped down at the end of the year. the u.s. ambassador's resignation took many by surprise. nikki haley and u.s. president donald trump haven't always seen eye to eye but addressing the price after the announcement the two were singing each other's praises nikki haley ambassador to the united nations has been very special to me she's done an incredible job she's a fantastic person the afternoon he was appointed to the u.n. post in november two thousand and sixteen prior to that she was the first female

governor of south carolina. the forty six year old was seen as one of the more central figures in the trump administration last month she coordinated the president's second trip to the united nations including the first time chairing the security council as highly said serving her country at the u.n. had been quote an owner of a lifetime i was governor for six years and we've dealt with a hurricane a thousand year flood of target shooting a school shooting over there and then they come in and do two years of russia and iran and north korea and it's been eight years of intense time and i'm a believer in term one that i think you have to be selfless enough to know when you step on someone else to be. made no indication as to who may replace highly in a role but he said he would make a decision in the coming weeks. all right for more on this let's talk to our washington correspondent mark. my how critical was nikki haley to this

administration and president donald trump specifically. well it's something to note that she was one of the very few prominent women in an ministration that has a reputation for not being a fantastic on women's rights or making women visible and she was also one of the very few high ranking women on the foreign policy side of the administration's or her departure definitely as a gap there in addition she was considered a more moderate republican than the people on the views that we see in this administration and she was also part of the establishment she was a governor as we heard for six years and she was not a trump acolyte she did not jump on the trump campaign right at the beginning as many of trump's current and former advisers have been an r. so she was really a moderating voice in the administration and she was someone who could take a very sometimes hard line message from the top administration and make it how

little for an international audience does anybody see this coming nikki haley's a resignation i mean the she appeared with the president seated next to him i mean this was so carefully stage managed to hit like a bombshell. definitely they're trying to put as positive a spin on it as they possibly can and we should know that her appearing in the oval office like this is extremely rare for a cabinet official none of the other resignations that we've seen and there have been many that have happened in this administration have been so carefully rolled out to the press this way it really does seem like most people were taken aback by this it sounds like most people in the administration didn't know this was coming and indeed her staff weren't aware until this morning that she was stepping down even though the president had said that she had told him about six months ago that she was looking to step down and she said quote i've done my two years and now it's time to move on she has been very few skating about what exactly her reasons are

for leaving her post as she has indicated that it is mostly exhaustion it sounds like right i mean she is a politician we don't know why she is leaving and there's lots of speculation out there but the timing is significant. oh definitely we are the pall of the midterms is being cast over everything that's happening in the u.s. right now we are less than thirty days out from these very crucial elections and one more resignation in this administration certainly doesn't paint the picture that things have necessarily stabilized of course it's not as unstable looking as it was at the beginning when it seemed like there was someone resigning every other minute but it is just one more blow that this administration has to deal with even if they are as we've said trying to put as nice a face on it as they possibly can maya what does her departure mean for u.s. foreign policy and diplomacy in general. well they will be able will

get an answer to that question somewhat when we find out who the next person is one of the names that has been rumored to be floating around is that of john bolton who is currently the national security advisor and he is a hard liner on issues like iran and israel and the thing about nikki haley being a more moderate republican was that she was one of the people who really have the president's ear and could tell him when she disagreed with him and attempt for his his more hardline tendencies which is very important when you're in an international and very highly developed setting like the u.n. and if there is someone coming in who is even more right wing who is more hardline than she is that's going to change u.s. policy dramatically right reporting from washington thank you. all right let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. knew a u.s.

supreme court justice brett kavanaugh has promised to be impartial and a team player after being sworn into office at the white house he said he had no bitterness about his contentious confirmation process earlier president donald trump apologized to kavanagh for the quote terrible pain and suffering he and his family endured. a former vice president of guatemala is going to jail for more than fifteen years for corruption books on a budget and twelve others were found guilty of organizing a fraudulent government contract u.n. backed anti corruption commission assisted them all and prosecutors still faces further charges. in afghanistan as the specter of tal of on suicide bomber killed a candidate in a coming parliamentary elections in seven other people is the latest in a series of attacks blamed on taliban insurgents who are opposed to the election.

turkey says they will search inside the saudi consulate in istanbul for a missing saudi journalist at the u.n. human rights office says it is deeply concerned at the disappearance of democracy one week ago today the washington post has published what it says is the last photograph of its missing saudi contributor and surveillance camera image shows the fifty nine year old walking into the saudi consulate in the turkish city of istanbul a week ago turkish officials say he was murdered inside the building a claim saudi arabia denies vehemently. all right well for more i'm now joined by our correspondent in istanbul dorian jones dorian vanished a week ago are the saudis now cooperating with the turkish investigation. but we do understand the officials will be allowing a search of the saudi consulate this is been a key demand of turkish authorities for some time although it has to be said the

most experts say that if there has been foul play committed if you expect there will be any evidence remaining in the consulate in particular if you expect to find . being killed or not. so i think it's more a gesture on the saudis all that they are now cooperating with turkish officials in this situation right and it's been a week of course since his disappearance what hard evidence do the turkish investigators have in this case and how are they following up on their early. well there really that has been a criticism that you have seen these allegations made that possibly he had even be murdered at the consulate but there's no real evidence to support these claims but we understand now took officials are now focusing on two black bands that belong to the saudi consulate one of which was visible has entered the consulate and is believing that those vans possibly will use to take us out of the building now using c.c.t.v. coverage to follow those vans turkey's does have some of the most intense c.c.t.v.

coverage in the world and turkey has software to use those images now they will be putting all of that expertise to track down where those fans went and the people that were in them and also there's a lot of attention now being focused on the arrival of fifteen saudi officials who arrived the same day arriving on private jets there is a has been suspended suspicions they were possibly part of some saudi hit team that was responsible for kidnapping bringing him sending him back to riyadh or possibly killing him so there's a lot of attention on those people because they left the same day even though they had checked into a hotel to stay for a number of days dorian in conclusion there was a lot of speculation that he was murdered in the saudi consulate is that still the official line. well yes and to. be widely quoted over the weekend saying that they do believe that he was murdered in

the consulate there's been rumors of some graphic details of how he was killed although no details on evidence to support those claims but on monday the president rejected all you've heard one seem to walk back that he's did not repeat these allegations he believes he was murdered although they all saying that they believe and they have very worried about the status and in fact the president's now trying to push back in st up to the saudi officials to show evidence that he did leave the consulate because. plenty of images of him entering but they say there was no images of him leaving and adding to the suspicion the saudi consulate saying that all the video cameras weren't working on that day during jones reporting from istanbul thank you. and vogue area police are investigating the rape and murder of television presenter victoria marin over the country is facing intense international scrutiny over the shocking assassination so far there's no evidence to link her murder to her reporting on the alleged misuse of e.u. funds involved area but she's the third journalist investigating corruption killed

in the european union in less than a year. the morning as honoring murdered journalist victoria mary nova outside a church in the capital sofia. in the journalist's hometown who say hundreds turned out laying flowers and lighting candles in her memory. mary novas body was left in a park near the river danube after she'd been brutally beaten raped and strangled i feel pain from anger and so many emotion that i can't explain. it so confusing how someone could go out for jogging in never come back cars is very young on one. hand these. with children and it was this was the last time the thirty year old appeared on t.v.

a show featured interviews with investigative journalists who reported on alleged corruption in infrastructure projects involving european union funds authorities say there's nothing to link her death to her with. the. police mention a school trauma knew were not excluding a spontaneous assault and were not excluding a premeditated assault. one thing is clear the murder was committed with great brutality and cruelty. but with bulgaria currently ranked the lowest of all e.u. members when it comes to press freedom someone has here are convinced the act was politically motivated the european commission says it expects a fair investigation into marrying over scaling. often more on the story did only a correspondent barbara vessel spoke to spend big old a member of the european parliament for the greens he's been outspoken on the recent deaths of journalists around europe. so in gold twist of victoria marry

another third journalist within a year got killed in the european union are we seeing a pattern here. obviously because the twenty years before there were no such killings we know them from italy and the mafia but it's long time ago and therefore this is a development which is totally unacceptable and all member states have to ensure that investigative journalists a safe. how can member states ensure that every time something like this happens there is a big shock in the european union everybody says things like this are as you say unacceptable but then mort what should we do well obviously all the three cases have done research into particular cases of political of the link between economic and political criminality this means that there is a much more systemic issue in the rule of law system of the respective member states what can they do obviously europe should watch whether corruption is getting

and demick and member states and if it does like we have seen it in malta like we have seen it slovakia and also in bulgaria we cannot simply stand idle but we have to activate the respective rule of law mechanisms which the european union already has so it's really the failings of the past year more or less that come to roost now that in other murder happens and the european union so far hasn't really done enough to stop this it is not only about the murder it is about the fact that in some member states corruption is systemic and when it is systemic the european union has to activate all the means possible which has been done in the case of hungary and poland but so far not on mile tousle of a. and bulk area despite bulk area being in the post accession system and secondly we need

a much more strong regime toumani toure the rule of law in all member states not only in those but in all of them because their rule of law issues in basically more or less all member states. are now over to hell and are now in the global economy feeling the consequences of growing protectionism helena and you know what that means another bad day on the markets when it comes to equities the international money. fund cutting its global growth for cost down from almost four percent to three point seven it cites trade tensions and rising interest rates there was one coming at the annual meeting of the i.m.f. and world bank currently taking place in indonesia. the us china trade war is said to make the world poorer according to the i.m.f. and a prolonged conflict could mean more shocks to the global economy. the impacts of trade policy and uncertainty are becoming evident at the macroeconomic level while

history turkey for its part is still rejecting i.m.f. aid despite its own crisis but it's in venezuela that the i.m.f. forecasts take on unimaginable dimensions said hyperinflation there could hit ten million percent next year. well the i.m.f. has also downgraded german growth europe's so-called economic engine we asked our financial correspondent kannan had bruising in frankfurt how bad the numbers for radio. nice economy. exports. from.

to improve aqua teen fox fog and submission scandal has thrust the impact of dirty diesels into the spotlight and germany is also one of a number of countries that have missed a huge deadlines to bring down the halls of nitrogen oxides opening them to potential legal action from brussels. germany's motorists don't know which way to turn nitrogen oxide emissions have breached legal limits in seventy major towns and cities but which of them intends to ban diesels from their city centers and which cars will be affected politicians are differing at the so-called these all summit a week ago they agreed with car makers that they would clean their diesels up but just how they'll do it remains an open question in the middle measures are not legally enforceable anyway the only thing that certain is that anyone driving a diesel can't be sure they'll still be allowed to drive it in german cities.

cities are imposing restrictions or plan to in countries including germany denmark sweden norway britain belgium the netherlands friends italy spain and greece. some countries like denmark and norway want to completely ban all petrol and diesel cars from their roads it's a response to data which shows nearly four hundred thousand europeans a year dying premature deaths because of particulate pollution auto emissions contribute to that and e.u. wide limits have been in force since two thousand and eight but hardly anyone's and force them yet the auto industry is far too important an employer especially in germany now the wind has changed brussels is now insisting that emissions limits be effectively enforced pressuring governments and automakers alike but the question is whether these diesel bound spark a concerted shift towards electric vehicles and other than alternatives. was by

because from when you first talked integration on employment it is more than just sloganeering it must be for uganda it's fifty six independent some of us are having to and so one combo suffered head injuries the opposition supporter was reportedly beaten by security personnel during a political gathering he told g w that he cannot see the freedom being celebrated in iran as a car bonnet says i was his on the head by a box of a gun and then blood stream doubt. remember when i last been seen was on base. i had no energy to run away. that's not peace this is why i call it tension i hadn't done anything wrong with the police in uganda sees that the opposition often disrupt peace during what authorities call on low for assemblies the opposition instead counter accuse security organs for being misused by the government to

africa is making big strides in the fight against plastic waste helen wright later and thank goodness public awareness has been growing in recent years about the impact of plastic waste that impact growing in recent years high profile campaigns encouraging customers and businesses to do something for the planet and cameroon agree press come up with an unusual solution and they've been riding on a wave of positive publicity at a sense. a river of plastic bottles chokes this dreaded system in the coming root. when race the entire neighborhoods flooded it's mileage so make it bony and his crew don't work for the same taking department they're volunteers for a local n.g.o.s called madiba and nature for them this is a gold mine of valuable room material. one day when i was walking back from university raining heavily around for shelter to wait to towers that's when i saw

hips of plastic bottles. which i was shocked i thought surely something can be done with all these bottles cleaning them up i saw it as a challenge the challenge is mild who studied engineering eventually devised a way to convert the bottles into something practical and useful after being cleaned and checked for quality the bottles become the basic building blocks constructing what the organization calls eco boats close with thousand bottles the needed for a six me to connote shape the vessel it takes about three days to make one additional materials needed are purchased with money and from both sales. there's a hospital where we do have a cash flow problem at times i was sometimes don't have enough money to build the boat we just can't construct a novel or the fishermen in need there are nearly one thousand fisherman here in the area and if we don't get the money together with simply cuts one by the fire is

merely his team hope their initiative will have a far reaching impact on the environment so far they have made around thirty eco boats. fishing boats in cameroon typically made of wood which makes them expensive to repair. hundreds of bottles filled with nothing but air that makes the boats like and easy to handle and while they aren't exactly watertight it would be very difficult to sink one but. we have an eco tourism program and people can break just the via our website and nature and we also have people coming in through international links visit org it's a platform for social impact travel experiences that could help increase our earnings. in two thousand and fourteen a regulation was put in place in cameroon that required

a plastic bottle money factories to take responsibility for recycling their products but for years on his most boat making initiative is still making a rather significant contribution towards improving the situation in the country. turkey has announced a plan to combat spiralling inflation it's calling on private firms to slash prices at least by ten percent across the board to the government also announced a halt on energy price hikes until the end of the year and an acceleration of sales tax rebates plus firms that export goods can apply for loans at low interest rates turkey's inflation rates rose to nearly twenty five percent last month and their currency crisis has sent the nira plummeting. o'gara jenkins's an analyst at the institute for security and development we asked him how turks are dealing with such high levels of inflation at the moment you know when

the a quarter when the turkish lira collapsed in august there wasn't even eat it impacts and we went to a supermarket prices haven't changed overnight but we're beginning to see now prices rising in the short term of course people can consume by the family structure is still very important in turkey still very strong so if one person in the family has some of their help their relatives out but the worst is yet to come the real crunch is going to come next year most people salaries and wages are raised at the beginning of the year a large portion of the turkish population is on the minimum wage which is set by the government. as a major dilemma coming because if the government doesn't allow wages to these people are counted really so. that was it garth jenkins from the institute for security development speaking to us earlier it's back over now to later she's taking a look at india's rocky road towards women's rights thank you so much and he has a thriving comedy scene but recently has been shaken by allegations of sexual

harassment the revelations have given the new momentum to the me too movement stand up comedy is male dominated there an area and very few women take to the stage. in the current matter one female comedian in delhi and sent us this report now at least this is a hillier powered decision made by god and an unusual sight at a popular comedy club in delhi the other gundry live even bebo the word on loan from our t.v. shows. saying this is the idea of going and asking all condoms is a woman tackling topics usually considered like buying condoms i wouldn't give it to those me all these places are going we'll go for what. they were knowing. they were my brother. but not their. jokes

about six marriage love masculinity and had a small calling out six of them and gender biases in the process she's well known in india's comedy circuit largely a boys' club the dissuades women from joining in it's a tough profession because you travel you are alone you're in front of drunk people . there's a barrier of exam didn't we just getting better no word at all to you know we women get so much attention just walking on the road who wants to put it up on stage and i actually do wonder tention we're taught from childhood to not draw attention to us is very hard to get over that mind to. i think we've got a fairly decent crowd and those hurdles are all too familiar to you during the day she runs a film production company evenings the office doubles up as a venue for comedy events the difference is that the shows here are only meant for aspiring female comics delis hostile as a space for women in either sex ratio has that of the. women feeling safe enough to

come out in the evening it's done comedy happen in the evenings and at night even something as small as that can be huge barrier that many never have to consider and of course jenny the joy of that is of course more. well hypermasculine and doesn't judy any believe it means weiss is very much. but danny also provides rich material this is when he began her career as a comedian seven years ago she encounters rampant sexual harassment and grew great on the city streets and channels it into such article jokes act the stories and witty one liners spawned at a favorite cafe it's the perfect place observing people where he honestly when i started out movement or both this being on the news with profession for a woman i was doing what i like doing. but then over a period of time where you start to notice the difference in the the action that you get from the audience a male or

a artist point me toward you know you do you funny i'm more street or you're really border guard headquarters has a woman you of course on stage you know use a cuss word their male artistry and so you know he was funny today or he was funny going fail women are funny not bad woman wasn't funny it's the anti-woman quite frightening. right. comedians like meet the also from to retain among the predominantly male audiences i was refused. about a girl doing in a stand up comedy but the man we actually saw hope performing in. absolutely fantastic doing the comedy is something which is being busy today and they got a question she was raising across lake isn't gone and the way how we look at it how we look at female. so that is a distinct that i do want you. and challenge and buys one joule

time. well gender discrimination is not the only obstacle facing female comedians in india sexual harassment is also a problem for women in the scene as highlighted by a string of revelations over recent days and calm as men from the social media is here with more good to see you call so what's behind these allegations that surface currently india really going through its own me to moment and we're seeing women go public with allegations of sexual misconduct by men and just as we saw in the u.s. these are often high profile men in big industries entertainment cation news media and as we mentioned in comedy so just a few days ago a female writer and comic accused a prominent male comedian his name is talk aborting of sexual misconduct and she called him out on twitter and here is exactly what he wrote on what she wrote on twitter so the allegations she says i want everyone to know the reports he is a piece of excrement he sent be

a picture of his genitals it was creepy then he cried saying i'll ruin his career if i tell others i had told some of the most influential men in comedy in india and nothing happened i mean tell you now what else he has done with others so that's post as you can see it inspired several more women to come forward with similar stories about that exact same comedian you can see them here on her twitter account they all ledge similar behavior and they say that he essentially went unpunished that's just by the fact that his behavior these sorts of accusations they were somewhat of an open secret in the industry apparently you soft talk aborted a comedian a sense and shoot an. ology but by no means is this an isolated case in the comedy world in india we're seeing a flood of accusations on social media and against other prominent men in india as well right well let's talk about that because it's not just the comedy scene i mean even bollywood is is victim to the allegations of sexual misconduct yamin mitsu also hitting bollywood now of course is the world's largest film industry and you

a north korea's leader kim jong order has invited pope francis to visit pyongyang he sells a korean presidential office at the invitation to the plan pontiff is a gesture designed to highlight peace efforts on the korean peninsula. the australian government is considering a ban on migration to its biggest cities it says it wants to force some overseas migrants to settle outside of sydney or melbourne in a bid to reduce congestion new arrivals would have to live in less crowded cities for five years after the arrive in australia. now a conference here in berlin is looking at ways we can best protect our cultural asses the three day event is called cultural heritage increases and. culture is here to

tell a story of a great to see you know just about this conference what is it about. the conference is considered that over the last few years as we've seen in the media that there appears to have been a rise in the amount of incidents that affect culture and heritage sites may be true terrorism to vandalism also environmental change or fire one example just one months ago the tragic fire that kind of destroyed brazil's national museum there was the fire burned down much of the building it was preserved all the most important museum and over ninety percent of the collection was destroyed that's twenty millions of historically important objects including egyptian mummies ancient skeletons and the majority so of course there is a lot gone forever and according to experts might take over ten years to restore the lost in terms of the two hundred years of research so these are the topics that the conference is dealing with trying to find twenty just to prevent these kind of

things also more recently or just over a glass these there's a there's been a live fire in portugal the national park that was threatening the palace there but luckily this is under control now maybe to get a better idea about the conference and some of the major you when's that they're talking about. about cultural heritage around the world i would say we just have a look at. at a conference in berlin experts are discussing ways to best protect cultural heritage. the most high profile world heritage disaster in recent years the destruction of the ancient city of palmira by so-called islamic studies. as the world looked on in real time islamic state made a public show of destroying ancient buildings and artifacts while secretly benefiting from the illicit trade in historical goods the obscene destruction and to wipe out memory and knowledge and start anew according to giovanni the conference in berlin such actions also serve to terrorize. people not only

reacted because of course of the shocking images of business structures that were shown on every t.v. monitor. it became also very clear there was a strong connection between the destruction of cultural heritage and the security of the affected communities. after such destruction many were relieved to see plans made for the areas restoration but the rebuilding of palmira can also be used as a weapon one of the things that we've seen with the syria tell that to the titular is the politicisation cultural genocide use by different entities to advance political deals politicize ation awareness and protection just some of the many issues on the table at the conference in berlin cultural heritage in crisis looking at how we can best hold on to and continue to learn from the past.

although of course there is a very dramatic and hard breaking example of a devastating example of how our cultural heritage has been destroyed but of course protecting cultural heritage is a much broader topic it is indeed but you know that the conflicts in the middle east and like the discussion syria in mali in iraq there seem extreme examples as you've said but they also serve to raise awareness in the internet. international community in terms of the importance of cultural heritage in crisis situations but the fact is that many experts argue that more damage is actually being done by development pressure around the world every day than it might have been caused by armed conflicts within two three years in the middle east so if you take a look in to europe for instance one place that every tourist love to love to go with if they haven't been there already is for instance many of like the romantic city in rome and venice is really overcrowded by tourism it gets more every year so last year over thirty million people visited the small city and the number of

tourists increased by twenty five percent in the last decade so the dilemma is when a survives by tourism and yet it is destroying the city so now there is some automatic gates to control the flow of pedestrians and also the big cruise ships are a big problem bringing masses of tourists but however. these kind of things . are the problems that we have to really face and about inclusion what is this conference hoping to achieve what is its goal what i mean of course it's not easy to achieve something in two days but what they're trying to do is finding the best ways to build a culture of prevention actually before things happen so help states groups and even individuals to prepare for the crisis before it happens also to to support like conflict regions to restore cultural heritage which is not so easy right now in syria yemen because the political situation but in iraq they're starting to
