bangladesh the dawn of islamism and exclusive d.w. report starts october eighteenth. this is g w news why vote from berlin tonight back on earth a wall of a rocket carrying crew to the international space station malfunctions in mid-air leaving only seconds to prevent a deadly disaster the launch in kazakhstan appeared to go well the first but minutes after blast off the two astronauts reported the problem and were forced to make an emergency landing we'll get the latest from moscow also coming up.

out of the church and into the polling booths germany's predominantly catholic state of the very a vote on sunday and maybe a vow to upset the political status quo. and d.-w. sits down with former germany captain michel balik to talk about the state of the national football team he says that coach is lucky to still have his job after germany's a world cup disaster. it's good to have you with those an extraordinary feat of survival tonight two astronauts emerged unscathed after a failed rocket take off today the pair parachuted down in kazakhstan after a. their russian soyuz rocket sailed in route to the international space station

now they're safe and said to be in good health but russia says it is suspending man that launches from the baikonur cosmodrome pending an investigation here's more now on that very close call safe and well with the medical equipment the only sign of their ordeal a few hours early yet the two astronauts have been all smiles ready to spend six months aboard the international space station three two one engines of initially things look to be going to plan. and there is liftoff of the still use in most tin the rocket successfully blasting off from its launch pad in kazakhstan but less than three minutes into the journey it became very obvious there was a problem. for the second night in the florida minutes like five seventy eight. the failure of. the astronauts capsule making what nasa called

a steep ballistic descent another vietnam comfortable ride back down to earth and some worrying moments at mission control until we are told now that the rescue forces are in communication with and make a intellects feel chinon and we're hearing that they're in good condition those rescue forces having rushed to the site where the capsule came down. it might be a setback for russian space program but that's relief all round that taken off chain and landed back on earth on. more on this we want to bring in our correspondent you're sure he's in moscow tonight good evening to you yuri i mean we've been talking all day about this being a story of nerves of steel the cosmonaut the astronaut they kept their cool throughout this what could have been a life threatening disaster and made it safely back to earth i mean their story and help they survive that's really the big story today use it as it is that well

what it is even more to come remarkable brant is that the u.s. astronauts and the russian cosmonauts don't need any medical attention after this crash landing by the way this is the second case of fortunate risk of the crew off to such a crash landing in nineteen seventy five two soviet cosmonauts landed inside period . less fortunate and had to be treated medically or for the very long time so in some ways the rescue today was an extremely happy and for the astronauts what we could see on television here in russia their arrival back by canoe and to their welcome again ceremony if you want with their families i was at baikonur cosmodrome in june this year and it's so firsthand how emotional this whole process is for the families we can only major how much of a shock it was for the relatives when they saw

a capsule crashing into the sky and what big relief it was afterwards for everyone you know we can certainly imagine how happy they are tonight the astronauts are saved but how big of a setback is this for the russian space program and for russia in general. well for russia this is of course a sad news and it comes at a time when moscow is an outcast on the international stage for the alleged meddling in the gas elections for its policy in ukraine for the alleged poisoning of the former russian agents crippled in great britain so this crash is just the latest in a string of bad news from russia after the space mission brand well this is without any doubt the bad days as well but on the other hand as the russian space agency gets lots of support for example from the european space agency its director general. now writes that the safe return of the crew shows how extremely reliable this all u.s. transport system is so i think russia still has the image of

a great space nation despite the temporary suspending of manned space flights in astronauts they were headed for the international space station or use rocket for now is the only way to get there so what about the astronauts who are on board the international space station. well this certainly isn't reason for panic oik question for survival for them as there is enough food water and oxygen on the eyes as at least for the next healthy year also astronauts on the ice as can return to earth in another space shuttle docked on the ice as about the astronauts on the us s. now will definitely be shorthanded there were a supposed to be five people and now there are just three at least for the time being the german commander alexander garrus to will have to change his plans now there will be obviously thought few experiments and there will be no space walks

any more so heading for you astronaut is not of that dramatic not that bad but it's not great especially because nobody can say how now when as a next crew can fly to the eyes as you know as one astronauts are to do in outer space three people is nice but having five people on board is even nicer you're rich other on the story boards tonight in moscow thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the head of the eastern orthodox church has agreed to recognize the independence of the ukrainian orthodox church despite protests from russia and the decision by the ecumenical patriarch it in istanbul is a blow to moscow's spiritual authority in the orthodox world. a highway bridge has collapsed on the telly an island of sardinia during heavy rainfall it had been closed off due to a c. coal and their vehicles were on the road at the time the country's infrastructure has been under scrutiny since dozens died in

hit areas here this is our house i could feel how. this man managed to return to his home but it's almost unrecognizable. here now the more than just the hard to realize if what has happened has started on surviving it is the best that the most important thing i think if we just be able to survive this. his house with stuart the storm but others didn't. stores have been destroyed by the hurrican. driving is dangerous. or even impossible in places like. michael rowed ashore with wind speeds up to two hundred fifty kilometers per hour as a category four hurricane leaving havoc and its wake. so many lives have been changed forever so many families have lost everything. homes are gone businesses

are gone. roads and infrastructure along the storm's path have been destroyed this hurricane was an absolute monster and the damage that's in his wake is still yet to be fully understood. the recovery effort is now underway. blue sky has returned to florida and michael now reduced to a tropical storm has moved inland. for three days and counting voters in the german state above varia will elect their regional parliament this coming sunday a located in the south of the country bavaria is germany's biggest and richest state and it is a place of ridged traditions just think of october a vested tracks millions of visitors every year historically a catholic stronghold the center right christian social union party has held power in bavaria for sixty years but as in the rest of germany right wing populus well

they're on the rise and the c.s.u. is fighting to hold them off and it's looking to one of its past leaders for inspiration from years of strolls dominated c.s.u. politics for four decades after the war with key jobs at both regional and federal levels. once a year the top figures in the varian politics gather at the grave of. the man celebrated as something between the patron saint and godfather of malta and varia. germany's interior minister hosty who is here too in berlin he's the troublemaker. government and the various the c.s.u. party leader is already trying to distance himself from an expected election defeat cools for his head. there's an expectation

that you should take. sponsibility this sunday if this goes badly for your see if you party will you do that. this is a not so that's nice of people to worry about these things but i didn't see a single election post with my face on it as i was driving up here. instead state premier marcos today is on the posters and in the spotlight he used to have a picture of france use of styles in his bedroom and still likes to quote him. there should be no space for democratic parties further right than us the far right ear of the campaign that strauss would have voted for them so he did for them became. the stars family has criticized c.s.u. leaders for failing to act against the rise of the far right they had even started adopting the right wing rhetoric themselves it was hoping to take over as the sea

is use new strong men who have benchley put a stop to that. here in lower bavaria many voters have long fled from the c.s.u. and gone further to the right. although the varian support for the far right a.f.d. is patchy the region of deccan doff soared to get around thirty percent in last year's general elections. making this line. around. the room is how did you call the mentoring group please everybody knew we had taken delivery thank you thank you thank you thank you very much thank you she's come all the way from both is because you may need to rethink your lexus about much more than the going away. i'll use

fear is a driving force for many here tonight. i can no longer let my kids out on the street on their own what i see on t.v. or hear on the radio. just can't do it anymore this is. how. the main issue is security i have children and were really afraid for our children and. that's the mood marcos is up against as he faces the deck and off crowd here here knowledge is he can't stop a broad populist movement preaching the very. sweet. wind of change blowing across europe and the challenges of stablished institutions. and that spirit of change doesn't stop at germany's borders not of various borders it's sweeping across our country. to figure out if the barrier looms large over the

october fest generally a politics free zone but the state election is being fought in the name of defending what it celebrates best and bavarians hold most dear. i. i i. i learned parties good quality of life. time outs. kinder and paying out the best. i envisage area like the rest of germany emotions run high as soon as it comes to migration i see you cross the sea and the migration to me is that many feel that this area's global growth. housing brewery has been in the family of lot to turn to get in for more than five hundred years.

german purity law makes sure the beer recipes are as old as the traditions behind them the great concern here is that nationalism could threaten business. if people outside germany by having beer i want them to think of a beautiful country i want them to think of different goodness of people i want them to think of culture before traditions and i don't want them to think of violence and hate and racism and things like this so we have to watch a couple of what's going on and this cannot continue. visitors from around the world have been welcome at the abbey of auto boy for more than a thousand years. i'm going to america is expected here today there are demonstrations against but also

for her a fixture since what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen. it's her only joint appearance with a conservative top candidates mark. merkel calls for confidence in being german as an antidote for fear of others. as any of those and those who are no longer aware of their own foundations of course don't know how to integrate others and in this debate about islam i sometimes get the sense that some may have become jealous that others are living their religion while we forget ours. the very near lections used to be coronation style transfers of power but marco sudan knows he faces a fight in sunday's elections. believing the ets currently we are seeing something totally different here in germany you know people should be happy and content because things have never been better in germany. despite that strong

economy the public are unhappy and turning away from the scene as you in both directions current polls predict the greens could become the various second strongest political force and could well join the c.s.u. led government the top candidates see themselves as living proof that a left wing alternative for germany is possible by either to ensure this model in this area has a great motto to live and let live and i think that sums it up perfectly and of course we're open to the world we're pro europe and we want to stay that way and i believe the citizens of the very up down the politicians anothers spreading hate and fear. don't have some hits of fish. here in munich like the whole of europe. politicians are struggling to understand the new public discontent many feel a new right wing mainstream. media is open to the world with the best

varian soul that's how we should behave we don't need those nazis. the nazis to put on it and. what we need to do is balance out the gap between rich and per year in germany and the rest of the world but i don't think the fourteenth of october will get us any closer to that. built. this time in german post-war history this very an election campaign smacks of pro change said at the very least that's expected to blow away angle america's interior minister. but it could also deal another blow to zero grip on power. are to sports news now ahead of a match between the german national football team and the netherlands on saturday did you spoke exclusively to former germany captain michel ballack he criticized

the german football association and coach you're welcome love who stayed in the job after a disappointing tournament in which the then reigning champions crashed out in the first round. germany's world cup disaster was on michelle buck's mind when de w.'s michael de silva messam in london the decision to back your king live did not sit well with the former captain as an outsider i was surprised as well as as many people that he kept his job. because he was a long time. since a long time he works with and. you know there's this time where sometimes things doesn't work anymore you know when you're with the team. was once the shining star of german football at the two thousand and two world cup he led the team to a surprise final and later became the team's main man and captain but ahead of the twenty ten world cup ballack was injured and in the end unceremoniously moved out

of the squad now he feels that the german football association has not moved with the times. even if we did maybe for something really good to be two two. champion. but you have to ask yourself every day. you know we have. a trend. nation of this nation makes huge steps because of a certain reason and we shouldn't lose our advantage when we had the years before just because we think we are good today germany's current midfield maestro defended his coach's credentials at a press conference in berlin. which. seems to be of the opinion that a change was needed i guess that maybe he wanted to take over i'm not sure. i think you are in love has been proving for years that he's happy to keep on improving on

himself. with critics continuing to doubt the decision to stick with live the coach and the team under pressure to respond with performances on the pitch. it's not about bad performance on is you know. global stocks is about performance. senshi investors brant just panicking wall street had its worst session in a long time last night and trade war in interest rate hikes have everyone on edge including u.s. president donald trump he's called the federal reserve crazy for raising rates. global markets were shaken by trump's comments but so stocks in asia follow wall street's rout the contagion spread to europe where germany's benchmark techs lost one and a half percent investors around the world are nervous and trump lost no time ramping up his rhetoric. but i think the fed is out of control i think what they're doing

is wrong. you had a lot of help because they had very little interest you know when you talk about economies our economy is far better than that but we have actually we're paying interest and they were they were using for the money. but i think the fed is for too stringent and they're making a mistake troops remarks of coma's the international monetary fund and the world bank hold their own you will meeting in indonesia the mood there's been pretty bleak not only have they both lowered their forecast but global growth they've also released a report that says the world's financial system is at risk i.m.f. chief christine lagarde even made a veiled reference to trim three months 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 unemployment. extremely low it's inevitable that. central banks make the decisions that. clash in economic theory between the head of the i.m.f. 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 u.s. and china against this backdrop investor jitters are likely to endure. let's go straight over to our financial correspondent yens cotton now he is on the wall street yen for the blame game is afoot chump hitting out at the federal reserve and its interest rate policy are they the guilty party here. well it is possible that the rising interest rates might be a damper on economic growth here in the united states but the big question is the why of the federal reserve increasing interest rates and that is partly because of

the politics of the trump administration for example when they started there was a mess of tax cuts earlier this year we have an economy here in the united states was almost full employment and then you have those mess of tax cuts that is actually driving inflation higher or also if you look to trade policies that makes imports more expensive into the united states so those are factors why inflation is on the rise not massively yet but that is one of the reasons why the federal reserve is increasing rates not just because they want to but because they have to and i guess you and i think talking about record after record after record in recent months what we're seeing now is it simply a downturn or correction. now that is the big debate that we're having is a correction was and is still ongoing bull market or is something bigger at play here at this point certainly we can't answer this question yet but what will be

very important to see is the upcoming earnings season that will actually really kick off on friday when the first big banks come which was was their results and we could see some headwinds for us corporations with the higher dollar with higher rates with the slowing of the chinese economy or with higher commodity prices with tariffs on steel and elam in europe so it will partly depend on those results and if it only will be a correction or more a financial correspondent for us yang's quarter on wall street yes many thanks indeed. it watching t.v. news from but i will have plenty more for you at the top of the hour of course you can always get the latest on the dow but leave dot com for you again very safe.
