2:02 pm
rescue crews heading to the landing site let's take a look at the moment that the crew objected from the rocket. everything looking good proceeding nominally. inaudible. and we have our producer use now jettisoned. for the latest let's go to. correspondent emily sheldon is standing by in the rushes they proud of the space program how bad is the news for the agency and the government well i'm reach of the news is for both i would say of course this is a huge blow to the reputation of the russian space mission which as you say people here are very proud of and it also raises questions about the state of russian space engineering if you if you will russia after all runs the cosmodrome in
2:03 pm
baikonur it's a russian facility and this isn't the first time that a site use capsule has malfunctioned there was a malfunction as well at the end of august and you can kind of see the russian space agency scrambling to do damage control the head of course months that goes in is on his way to the site now and they've announced that russia will actually be suspending manned space missions space launches and till there has been an investigation and of course this has political implications as well after all this is space exploration is one of the few areas in which the u.s. and russia still cooperate and you can see that today that politicians are kind of doing damage control as well the vice prime minister but he sort of said today that they won't be concealing anything from the investigation from the u.s. as well and these children in moscow thank you very much for that update.
2:04 pm
so what does an incident like this mean for a manned space flight let's go in the zone think about it from the science desk so if you could how serious is an accident like this. it is quite serious of course and it is a stark reminder that manned or people that i like to say people space flight is still quite a dangerous affair i mean we like to think that we can all travel to space very soon but it is a dangerous thing we are talking about rockets with huge amounts of fuel on board and it's a very tricky operation not for nothing have we not landed on the moon again and not for nothing have we been speaking for many many years about manned missions the do not just go out say just advisedly from to the international space station so that we've done quite a few times but it still can go wrong so this is a real stark reminder that space exploration is still very dangerous and what are the implications for the people who are currently on the international space
2:05 pm
station the i assess well there are some implications the american astronaut nick cave was jude to join germany's astronaut alexander gassings now the commander of the i assess. only on october nineteenth for a space walk an extra vehicular activity in actual fact to replace some batteries from some old technology only i assess to some new technology to power the solar panels of the international space station that has been postponed once before and it's quite possible the batteries can still hold on for a little while but it's does put a spanner in those works and it's a. bit unsure whether other astronauts on board the i assess could could replace kagan that that space walk right is if they're going to bonnie from science desk and space expert thank you very much for that. if we now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the was she's young region has passed laws so
2:06 pm
that muslim readers can be sent to education centers reeducation centers and parties clean the centers aim to curb radicalization among muslims but critics say these in effect are prison camps for the country's muslim minority an estimated one million readers behead in such camps. the united states has returned dozens of ancient colombian artifacts plundered over decades by an american collector the items were discovered after a tip off investigators also found positive pieces from other countries in the man's home the elderly collector died after the investigation was launched. to lebanon now and the country is home to over a million syrian refugees many live in extreme poverty refugee children are often forced to work on the streets to help their families get by. abraham made two brothers in beirut the boys sell flowers for
2:07 pm
a living but they would much rather be at school. it is almost midnight but almost and uses work day is far from over. the brothers from syria sell flowers in the streets of beirut three days per week from dusk till dawn. i wish that. i work because my parents are sick i need to support them i wake up at five thirty or six in the afternoons i go and buy the flowers i work work work and then i go home. with. syrian children working on the streets of beirut has become a common sight seventy percent of syrian refugees in lebanon live under the poverty line leaving many parents like almost and use of swig no choice but to send their children onto the streets to survive i'm. almost says that our parents are sick but i want to say something he should be able to stay at home even if my mother and
2:08 pm
father is sick they should work because they had us they should be supporting us and not the other way around just because. despite international. neither yousif nor his brother go to school on the streets they often experience violence. one time i was six i came to sell the flowers here at the bar they beat me and did not let me sell flowers i said in a corner and cried obama. facing this kind of abuse for prolonged periods of time causes what is known as toxic stress and children something angio workers are growing increasingly worried about. who are not that hot let's say a kid spends four to five years on the streets if he stays in lebanon or goes back to syria the pressures he faced on the streets will remain with him he won't be able to do his work properly you just know that we are talking about children
2:09 pm
instead of being at school they are being lost. out of them and this is affecting an entire generation and what about that message he was yet nadine with as part of a team that runs the fund us an initiative aimed at believe using the children suffering on the streets. for a couple of hours each week they can come inside the bus a safe space away from the gaze of the passers by to do arts and crafts. he said if it helps them release if you give a child a piece of paper cardboard and glue and then they can make something out of it the child gets to feel powerful which he normally does not get to feel yet they might but the bus is by no means a sustainable solution for syrian street children in beirut it can fit a maximum of fifteen children at a time. syrian children account for three out of four children living and working on the streets of lebanon. resources to help them are overstretched
2:10 pm
leaving children like you said a moment with no resort to wish for a better future. life is an organization would come and get me to study i would go with them maybe they would give me a better life i would learn english french or graphic. i would be able to travel and go places. and that of course was fine by him she now joins me in the studio welcome my lips of a touching at the seams of a heartbreaking report what struck you most when you were accompanying these two brothers around the city as you can imagine they work in an urban and an urban environment there are many dangers that could face children on the streets in any city these these kids have to face every day but i think most striking is how desensitized that entire environment around them has become the passers by treat them as a sort of normal part of the street nobody's really paying attention that these are
2:11 pm
children anymore and i think when it comes to the children themselves what was most striking is how i mean we're talking about six and ten year olds and how they've completely lost sight of the fact that their kids are the kind of language that they use. how they deal with with other people so it was very striking to see how at such a young age a child can read the lucite of being a child and the kind of concepts and. concepts and ideas that they have to navigate in the kind of conditions that they have to negotiate like having to bargain with with passers by or having to deal with older kids that believe them these have all had a negative effect on them the you feel like you're not talking to children anymore the kind of sentences that come out of their mouths you know this is the sad thing is that just because this is the reality for many children in the developing countries what used to think a lot. true but how big of big a problem is this in lebanon prisoners a very small country in neighboring syria and it's taken over one million refugees since the outbreak of the conflict the country the country is overstretched and
2:12 pm
overwhelmed economically they're also not doing very well so what i mean a child being on the street is always a sad situation but in lebanon there's the compounded fact that syrian refugees also face a great deal of xenophobia and are scapegoated in lebanese society for a lot of the economic problems of the country is facing so these children are on the one hand on the streets but on the other hand also facing racism and sentiment that they wouldn't have faced if they were just lebanese children on the she which would also be an unfortunate situation and other initiatives to be so in your report this is unicef bus but on the any other initiatives to children like this was the one initiative that we were able we were able to meet with there are also there are multiple sort of volunteer volunteer groups that try to help these children these two missions are not sustainable solutions it doesn't seem to me my impression that the priest particularly had was doing anything to help these
2:13 pm
children and the parents say that they have no choice so other than that initiative that i saw it seems that the resources are pretty overstretched left very much on their own thank you very much for shedding the spotlight on this difficult issue. turning of the united states want the most powerful storms ever to hit the mainland has been battering southern coast and states hurricane michael made landfall in florida on wednesday leaving behind widespread damage and flooding pictures taken by the international space station captured the storm shortly before to the southern part of the state known as the florida panhandle it was the state's fiercest hurricane in more than eighty the storm's intensity has waned as it moves inland but neighboring states including georgia and north and south carolina are bracing for more damage and destruction.
2:14 pm
hurricane michael carved a path of destruction as it crashed ashore near panama city florida. with winds up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour the storm was the worst to hit the northern panhandle in decades flooding homes and streets. the wind was so strong and with big trees you can hear just about every tree quacking in breakin in the wind just hitting up against a house. you could tell it was something major but again if you've never experienced a hurricane or a major storm trust me this is something that you never want to go through the dumbest thing i've ever built stay busy when yours is to stay for her like a jet engine. the winds just super super high you could feel it in your years like the pressure just changing it in and out. overnight michael moved towards the state of georgia and is expected to plow northward threatening south
2:15 pm
and north carolina. the hurricane weaken to a tropical storm but it is still dangerous menacing georgia with heavy rains and winds. fallen trees and power lines i'm on the had their left and hurricane michael's wake. hundreds of thousands were ordered to evacuate their homes for many michael as turned life upside down. and has struck eastern india bringing winds of up to one hundred fifty kilometers per hour cycle piddly has claimed at least two lives and caused one spread power outages three hundred thousand residents have been evacuated from coastal areas and schools have closed tightly which in him the butterfly is expected to don great to a deep depression by friday cyclons a common occurrence in the bay of bengal and from april to november.
2:16 pm
joining me now is mick guys a he's the south is your correspondent of the news agency based in delhi nick how bad is the situation in the storm battered area. well this far actually eight deaths have not been confirmed six of them fisherman the storm is not. trees and power lines blocking roads and hampering communications so it's not entirely clear what the situation is right now because it's tough to reach the people there. but we know that the storm battered the states of addition under pradesh since early this morning but it has now been downgraded from a. from an extremely severe psychotic storm to a severe cyclonic storm. so as you mentioned at this region in the east of india is
2:17 pm
prone to cycles is there any information coming out as to how people there are dealing with it this time. well as you say because of past experience the disaster management authorities in the affected region have become quite good at setting up an early warning system especially since a particularly devastating cyclone hit or dish in one thousand nine hundred nine killing more than ten thousand people. so last night they evacuated three hundred thousand people from the from the area which. i'm sure it mitigated the loss of life significantly right in the kaiser in delhi thank you very much for that update . now ahead of a match between the german national football team of the netherlands on saturday the davis spoke exclusively to the retired former germany captain michel bala he discussed the struggles facing german football after its disappointment was to cup
2:18 pm
exit in russia ed mccambridge from the sports desk joins me now welcome ed. has been speaking to exclusively and he had some very critical things to say didn't he did and he was entitle to do so i mean let's not forget this was germany's worst performance of world cup since one thousand nine hundred thirty eight and it came as defending champion so naturally a lot of very high profile figures in german football have come out and criticized since then but none of them are in the same league as michael ballack we're talking here about one of love's former players an ex captain of the german national team now it's worth pointing out here that there is a bit previous between balloch and love but it was famously dropped by love following the twenty third world cup which he missed through injury and he was said to be very disappointed with the deal and particularly look at the time so already frosty his comments now certainly haven't helped that so let's have a listen to what he had to say. as an outsider i was surprised as well
2:19 pm
as as many other people that he kept his job. because he was a long time. since a long time he was with the team and. you know there's this time where sometimes things doesn't work anymore you know when you saw along with a certain team i mean. you see. so as we've just heard from there he felt that love was very lucky to have kept his job and i think we can infer from that that had been in charge at the d.f.t. i think a lot of could be unemployed right now but is doing a big tough on a year to look after jimmy did to win the two thousand and fourteen world cup under your good live what does he think that look should have done differently this time well i think like so many german fans we were just expecting more you know that it was expecting more this wasn't a champion team in decline this is a side that twelve months earlier had actually taken the confit cup by storm with a team of young ambitious players that previously hadn't been given a chance and i think pollock was really hoping that those same players that went on
2:20 pm
to actually win that confederations cup would be given a chance next year so he was very disappointed those successes weren't brought forward so let's have a listen to what he had to say about that now. you know if we did maybe for eight years something really good to being to do to bring world champion. but you have to ask you'll solve every day in football football is really quick you know we have. a trend sometimes who does this nation or this nation makes huge steps because of a certain reason and we should lose our advantage when we had the years before just because we think we're good you know so there's always hard work and it starts really really young. so as we can see they're disappointed that advantage didn't continue to the to the world cup in russia and also an element of hubris not of preparation he feels he would given the difficult relationship the two have had by luck and could this be his indirect way of settling scores or do you thing by luck
2:21 pm
has a point where you could say that but i mean any saying germany fine would would agree with the crux of what about it saying that i mean it wasn't a very french team it wasn't it didn't feel very new but luke has to focus on the games he's got coming up not accomplishing things out of the netherlands on saturday and they've got the world champions france in the way for nations leak so he's going to focus on that a chance perhaps to bring the likes of lead or song of the sort place that people wanted to see at the world cup but one thing i do just want to say that if any of us do want to watch more of the product interview that is available on the website ok ed mccambridge from us both says thank you very much for coming in. to get from one famous sporting name to another because retired sprinter was saying bolt wants to follow in bucks with tips by becoming a footballer the jamaican is having a trial that australian team central coast marina's and is set to make his first start after the club in a friendly match on friday both is also trained with teams in germany and norway
2:22 pm
but thinks this game could determine if he makes it as a professional footballer. ok it's over now to christophe for business news and the german economy is becoming. a read of the risks around the world are increasing as a result the german government has slashed its growth forecast for this year and the next one point eight percent economics minister part of my cited a weaker international trade environment as one of the reasons for the move projected economic expansion for this year now stands a solid half a percentage point lower than before and spring the german government had expected growth of two point three percent this year. now i'll talk to our correspondent about the market reaction here in a moment but even before news broke of a likely slowdown in germany economic growth stocks are on the world have been having a rough time. market turmoil on wall street followed by
2:23 pm
a massive slump in asia investors around the world are feeling the heat one issue weighing on their minds whether the u.s. fed is going to raise interest rates again it's already done so three times this year it's a measure central banks take to put the brakes on a robust economy markets don't always like it because it makes it more expensive to borrow money. another person who doesn't like it u.s. president donald trump here's what he had to say about the fed on his way to a company in rally. so i think the fact that they. make it every day is so tight i think the fed is going great. trumps comments come as the international monetary fund and the world bank hold their annual meeting in indonesia so the mood there has been pretty bleak not only have the institutions lowered their forecast for global growth they've also released a report that says the world's financial system is at risk i.m.f.
2:24 pm
chief christine lagarde even made a veiled reference to trump's remarks by defending central banks it's clearly. a necessary development for those economies that are now showing. much improved growth. inflation that is picking up and falling into the range are reaching the threshold and employments that of extremely low it's inevitable that. central banks make the decisions. a clash of ideals between the head of the international monetary fund and the u.s. president warnings that the global economy is slowing down and becoming unstable not to mention a continuing trade war between the us and china against this backdrop investor jitters are likely to enjoy. the road for more let's bring in our correspondent
2:25 pm
corner booth and standing by at the frankfurt stock exchange corner of stocks are down across the globe give us the word from there frankfurt trading floor. well here in frankfurt the german share index stacks of a is really one percent that's adding to a loss of two point two percent yesterday which is of course a lot but it's a lot less also them what happened in the united states on the market there or many markets in asia you know it looks really like the fact that german shares have been lagging behind the strong increases on the american markets in terms of demand in terms of price increases is now a bit of protection for the german market it's not hit as hard by the sell off compared to other equity markets and something else is playing a role many german companies so far have already been warned warning that their businesses have been affected by the trade spat between the united states and china by the tariffs of the counter-terrorist so
2:26 pm
a lot of those negative factors are priced in the expectations for the upcoming earning season in the united states only just beginning to understand that also american businesses have been hit hard by those import tariffs you know import prices up and other prices and that means more negative surprises are likely during the upcoming earnings season. we heard the german government things that economic growth this year and next will come in about twenty percent lower than expected. looks like the concern about the world economy that the i.m.f. voice at the beginning of the week has now reached europe's biggest economy. absolutely and of course that this is having a negative impact on the market as well but traders i talk to also say this is increasing the pressure on the federal government to do something and today newspapers here in germany report that the economics minister is preparing an action plan. to reduce the financial burden on german companies something to hope
2:27 pm
for at least germany slashed its growth forecast for this year and next contribution reporting from the frankfurt stock exchange to come and thank you so much. german carmaker b.m.w. has announced a plan to take control of its china joint venture the first foreign automaker to take advantage of beijing's new ownership rules for the sector b.m.w. will acquire a further twenty five percent stake in the venture was brilliance china automotive for three point six billion euros the company said that would bring its stake to seventy five percent by the year twenty twenty two foreign companies were structured so far to no more than fifty percent stake in their china operations. and watching you know my nurse thanks for the company.
