body of missing saudi journalist. have been dumped in this forest outside istanbul turkey police searched the area just one of the leads are said to be following. between two fronts the english speaking people of cameroon. locals speak of extrajudicial killings by the military but also intimidation tactics by separatists adrian creech has an exclusive report from the reach of. munich balsa has launched a fierce attack against the german media in an extraordinary press conference call media criticism of their players disgusting and disrespectful.

hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us the european union's top court has ordered poland to immediately suspend its forced retirement of judges calling it quote a threat to judicial independence holos right wing government has lowered the retirement age of judges from seventy to sixty five in a move that critics say is aimed at replacing judges with those supportive of the current regime european court of justice says all judges that have lost their jobs under the ruling must now be reinstated. the controversial law had already come into force here at the country supremes court in warsaw many of the twenty seven newly appointed judges began their work just days ago from the e.c.g.'s ruling holt's the forced retirement of judges with immediate effect and reverses the retirement of those already forced to leave their posts. speaking in brussels the

polish prime minister said warsaw would consider its response. but the justice minister signaled poland would accept the ruling. as we see from you but we are part of the european union and we will respect the e.u. slows so far i only know about this ruling from media reports that we will analyze the decision and then make a statement poland is a strong member state of the e.u. and we will honor. the president of poland supremes court against off refused to step down when the government tried to force her to retire. personally i'm pleased that we've been heard but i am not pleased about the fact that my country's government didn't do this sooner and that we had to take them to the european court. base. it is now up to the government in warsaw to implement the court's ruling. well for more now let's cross over to warsaw were

correspondent yun power cut is standing by he's the bureau chief for germany germany's public broadcaster a or d. . first of all tell us why the polish law on forced retirement of judges is so controversial well it's controversial because it effects so much the highest caught so the highest level of appealing in poland forcing around one third of the judges there more experience judges of course to leave and as we heard the way the newly appointed judges that would replace them are appointed has also been changed in a way that critics say this would bring political loyalist loyalists to the governing party law and justice party into the highest court and i want should not forget that the highest court here in poland is also the controlling elections so yeah it's highly disputed it's a cornerstone of the so-called reform of judiciary and but a very important one now the european court of justice has ruled young that poland

must reinstate those judges who have been forced into retirement do we know if poland is going to accept this ruling. well we've heard statements before when government officials said that european union and also the european court has no right to interfere in what they say is an internal affair of poland and today we have heard much more moderate statements from the spokes person of the ruling party of the peace party who said poland is a member of the european union and will act according to european law so you may in to preach what that means but you should not forget that we are on the final stage of a very important election we have regional elections on sunday and many people say that this is very important it's the first test political test after the peace party took over power three years ago and it's a starting call for elections also on the national level so. europe is

a very sensitive thing for the peace party because the vast majority of poles also supporters of the peace party. according to the polls very much pro european union pro europe so a discussion on poll exit poll and maybe leaving the european union something i would say that the peace party does not want so close to the elections this ruling by the european court of justice it's a bit of a showdown now it's a bit of an ultimatum what does the verdict mean for the larger dispute between poland's right wing government and the e.u. in general. hard to say how they will really react we will see on monday after the poll but we had another case of the case of the cutting of trees in a local historical forest a long long quarrel and then also decision of the european court and then they stopped cutting so maybe they will step back here and we've heard something from the crew of the president that that may be the case it would be the first compromise on that area but of course on the other hand the pot the boss. of the

chairman here once has said that the reform of the judiciary as they call it is essential because as he said if we don't reform that we can forget about all the other reforms we have in mind so it will be interesting to see how the piece body of the government here will react john thank you so much for your insights it was a young power cut there he is a bureau chief for germany's public broadcasting network they are deep in warsaw. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today at least fifty people are feared dead after a high speed commuter train ran into a large crowd at a festival near the northern indian city of our local t.v. said people had gathered to celebrate an annual hindu festival but they failed to hear the approaching train over the sound of fire crackers at the festival. an official memorial ceremony is being held in russian and next crimea for the

victims of a school shooting that left twenty people dead the region is observing three days of mourning russian media are calling the attack in the black sea port of catch by an eighteen year old gunman russian columbine. u.s. president has threatened to send the military to close the us mexico border against what he calls an onslaught of migrants this as around three thousand one hundred migrants continue in their curve and heading for the u.s. mexico has said it will ask the united nations for help with their arrival. afghanistan's parliamentary elections have been pushed back one week in kandahar province after the killing of one of the country's most powerful security figures the funeral has been held now general abdul razzaq who was shot by a gunman along with two others of a high level security conference the deaths come as

a blow to the western backed government and raise questions about the stability of southern afghanistan parliamentary elections will go ahead across the rest of the country to morrow despite the killings. for more let's bring in america good to hear he's from the fleetly eva political foundation and he's the foundation's director for afghanistan thanks for being with us here on d.w. news thank you for having me so we've got the death of this very powerful police chief in kandahar province what impact could this have on the election and on the status of the taliban yesterday's events and conduct obviously been a major setback for the elections but also the afghan government and law it just reiterate underlines the already existing concerns when it comes to security on election day and i don't think good to be you know in germany can root fully comprehend and fully understand what it means for ordinary afghans to head to the

polling stations tomorrow to a cost of votes knowing that they are putting their lives at risk and the courage that takes well that's my question given these risks that the voters are facing in afghanistan when they go to the polls given that you've got candidates being killed . is it possible to hold elections there that are going to be credible but anyway well the challenges are obviously enormous there's one field of the polling stations that won't be opening at all due to the bit security situation for the first time since two thousand be any international observers day of challenges with regard to voter registration if we go to biometrically of occasions systems that they are using but i would conclude that the elections of all of them over judicial have been held for years ago so today they are over at you and it's an important symbol that they have taken place no even though so many challenges that need to be addressed so the election is finally going ahead after years of delay very difficult circumstances you describe what sort of people seek office public office

office in and in afghanistan given that they know they'll be putting themselves in the uk and in the taliban's crosshairs they are very different types of candidates so you know i've just been back from kabul a couple of days ago and deceit is that he looks entirely different no it is huge but it bodes an election. those candidates old and young male and female as there are eight hundred can it is only for kabul fifty three seats and kabul and of course there is you know the sons and relatives of the same political elites that have been dominating afghanistan for many years as businessmen do as if nick strongmen there's peers and then it is of dubious backgrounds but there's also a nothing to spirit incursion against the backdrop of all the bad news to be receiving there's also young people teachers journalists civil society activists educated young people that are running for parliament and i think this. at least partly an occasion for us to be hopeful for tomorrow well you're mentioning the young population of afghanistan. seen it described as the having the second

youngest population in in the world most of these young people have never known their country at peace what sort of future does afghanistan hold for them it's very complex and difficult indeed as you rightly eluded to afghanistan as one of the youngest population in the entire building more than sixty percent of it over the age of twenty five and many of those people are leaving actually that's an obviously domestic issue did to be had in picking up in germany in the short term future this is just a sort of the test run to a much bigger election next year cause we ought to have presidential elections next year in afghanistan and imperative we have the peace talks not a pretext to the peace talks we have to tolerate bounded on folding and multiple journeys and channels and with multiple initiatives so it's a very complex picture but i would say and i think it's fair to say two thousand and nineteen believe one of the most consequential years for afghan politics for a long time to come is to go to thank you so much for talking with us here and he does the news that was marco going to from the foundation and he's the country director for afghanistan thanks for having me. now with all the uncertainty and

potential for more violence surrounding afghanistan's planned elections candidates have reason to be concerned ten have been assassinated in the first two months but mario. afghan american who was born and raised in the u.s. well she's undeterred she left behind her life as a businesswoman in los angeles and moved to afghanistan six years ago and now she is campaigning for change. mariam still a man is not a typical candidate but she sees her mix of american upbringing and afghan family traditions as an advantage in a modern afghanistan that's looking for a change. that could she elders are standing behind me and every time i sit with them they tell me that the men were able to bring these changes but we have faith that women are women are able to feel our pain and see the corruption and see

what's wrong she takes us along in her campaign trail to jalalabad here she meets with the local leader of her tribe the kuchi there nomads for whom a certain number of seats in parliament are reserved as a cycle langkow has a good chance of being elected the tribal elders are dissatisfied with the male opponents who they see as only looking after their own personal interests in contrast salamanca listens to cooties are often discriminated against in afghanistan and have little opportunities to advance socially. but the ones who don't have schools they don't have water they don't have roads on one hand they're being killed by the taliban and used as shields and on the other hand the government accuses them of being taliban so they're stuck in being tween to two rocks jalalabad lives in the east of afghanistan where the taliban still stage attacks when merriam's of the main comes here she brings a bodyguard with her she's already received many threats if i said i wasn't afraid

i'd be lying i am afraid but i'm more afraid for these people who are coming and visiting me. so the main cowboy says here's a cord for the direct peace talks currently being negotiated between the us and the radical islamists even if the talks could lead to the taliban partially coming to power in afghanistan and i think that now that women are included in the peace process it's really a big step but at the same time i think that the taliban from what i hear realize that women and inclusive it in the government is really important for afghanistan in the future. and even if she doesn't win the election the manco wants to stay in afghanistan instead of returning to the u.s. she says regardless of the outcome there's much work yet to be done. to turkey in our prosecutors are said to be questioning employees from the saudi consulate over the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi it's more than two weeks now since the washington post columnist went missing after entering the consulate in istanbul

the saudi royal family is struggling to battle for reports that she was killed by an assassination squad with close ties to the crown prince on friday turkish investigators took their search for a body outside stumble. belgrade forest near a stumble according to anonymous turkish officials police are searching here for the remains of missing saudi journalist hotshot g's. official said a saudi consulate vehicle was tracked here the day. and the consulate on october second a second vehicle was tracked to a nearby city. saudi arabia has denied allegations by turkish officials who said he was killed inside the consulate and his body removed. employees of the saudi arabian concerts were giving testimony on friday at the turkish prosecutor's office in istanbul these images are said to show those workers.

the turkish government is pointing the finger of blame at react. to that idea. vanished after entering the saudi consulate what happened to her shocking how did it happen who is responsible for his disappearance of course we have some information and evidence on this matter as a result of the examination and investigation. with accusations where link the u.s. is stance towards longtime allies saudi arabia is hardening when asked whether he thought he is dead president trump left little room for him to act. it certainly looks that way to me it's very sad very much that we have to be very severe i mean it's bad bad stuff but we'll see what happens because. she had been living in the united states writing for the washington post he was

a public critic of the saudi government. a friend of the missing journalist told how he had angered saudi authorities. one time he said to me the saudis or the authority in saudi arabia treated him as if he had shot a member of the royal family and fled from saudi arabia. but he moved freely. as gruesome details circulated in turkish media over who show keys alleged murder his family and friends in jure and i'm going izing white friends whose. health is here with the business and the diesel curse continues to haunt germany's cheating auto industry it seems like no one save that's what we're finding out terry it's more bad news this time for a well known car brand here german authorities have forced it to recall seventy three thousand diesels worldwide they are fitted with devices that alter emission levels and test situations cheating like this it's all part of the fallout from the

diesel gate scandal opener has already voluntarily retrofitted twenty three thousand vehicles the car maker was recently acquired by francis p.s.a. from its long time owners general motors. on a similar note german car maker diamond owned diesel gate scandal is costing it plenty it's lowering profit forecasts for the second time this year the maker of mercedes-benz cars says the costs of a recent recall of seven hundred seventy thousand diesels in europe means earnings will be significantly below last year's profits died enough first lowered its forecast just four months ago saying you tariffs on cars that exports to china from the united states would cut into profits. and that's part of the trump administration has shaken up transatlantic relationships to say the least it has forced europe to look for alternatives strengthening ties to asian countries but despite europe's call for action against donald trump america first policy the u.s.

remains the most attractive foreign market for europe half of all german companies now in the u.s. plan to boost their investment even more planned to hire new staff that's according to a recent survey from the german chambers of commerce america remains the largest economy in the world business is booming which is leading to more investment and more consumer spending. as promised the trump administration has been business friendly trumps tax legislation slashed corporate rates from thirty five to twenty one percent and he's cut regulations. that's good news for businesses focused on the u.s. market but for those producing for third countries things are more complicated the turbulent negotiations around the north american free trade agreement only recently concluded left north american supply chains in doubt the ongoing trade dispute with china is also hitting foreign companies european automakers are already facing

chinese import tariffs on cars coming off their u.s. assembly lines so where does the balance lie for european businesses in the u.s. net positive or negative that may depend on the company itself. and earlier my colleague ben fizzling talked with new jersey governor and phil murphy who's here in germany trying to drum up trade for his state he told us not to lose hope and trade with the u.s. despite the current storm warnings. again there's a lot of volatility in washington the i'm a democrat i'm a proud democrat but i'm an american i think there's too much volatility right now how is that affecting business as you've been talking to you think the folks are sort of questioning what's going on with cherubs and trade policy and sanctions and should i be rethinking my advice to them is no i'm an optimist this too will pass. for a long time the portuguese city of port of door has been sleeping in the shadow of

the capital lispund but things have changed the property boom in portugal has reached the port city and revitalized the construction sector which is one of the country's biggest employers for investors are snapping on bargains locals fear rising rents. among their years shows us how her street is changing. one house after the other is being renovated from the ground up all for the benefit of tourists and the house it was born in was sold five times and now it belongs to chinese people. chinese brazilians french port au is extremely popular with tourists one point six million people visited last year from many foreigners point of view it's not only the coffee that's cheap the houses and apartments are affordable to demand from abroad is rising with big consequences according to economists carlos obvious. but if we compare the prices today with those of twenty

thirteen that was the worst point of the crisis we see price increases in porto of more than forty two percent. forty two percent in five years porto seems a really good investment for those who can afford it that is most portuguese can't the average income here is only fourteen hundred euros per month. or the crucial moment that explains the tourism boom here was when ryan air started flying to porto. poland many long time residents of the inner city have fallen victim to the boom the mother of three had to vacate her apartment at the beginning of the year she could no longer afford the rent the cook then moved in with her parents it's a small space a protest banner hangs from the window. opus either the mayor says we're against tourists but we're not we're only against them being treated better than we are

also rice lies but it's not only the tourism boom that's putting porto's real estate market under pressure here's what real estate agent manuel mata has to say. to all of this is you have all three for the crisis around sixty thousand new homes were built each year throughout portugal in twenty fourteen there were only one tenth of that number six thousand. but a one day some sick and say. it will take years for supply to adjust to demand here too long for paula and her parents they'll have to leave porto shortly after she moved in with her children the notice came her parents' house is being turned into a hostel port-o. is gentrifying there's no room left for the low income earners in the city center. let's talk trolls this week twitter publish an archive of millions of tweets which the company says were posted by russian and iranian state run troll factories

between two thousand and thirteen and twenty eight hundred tweets aimed at influencing the political debate twitter says most notably during the last u.s. election campaign the disclosure is an unprecedented move by the social media company which has been promising more transparency well do w. social media editor federica budget was here with more federico what's in this archive kit so it's a huge amount of data really we're talking about ten million tweets and twitter says that nine million out of these tweets are from accounts affiliated with the russian internets research agency which has become perhaps russia's most in famous factory it's based in st petersburg the other one million tweets come from hundreds of iranian accounts not twitter has exposed and closed down these a troll accounts also with the help of russian investigative journalists and

they've done that last year partly this year but what's new now we have these tweets stored in this archive which has been published and made available for everybody online and twitter says they they released it partly to show more of transparency but also to improve users understanding of how this foreign influence works through through the platform ok so we understand that before a lot of these accounts these twitter accounts were shut down they tried to manipulate or target the twenty sixteen presidential election in the u.s. one way or another what else have we learned from this release of data i mean the archive provides. with a better understanding of the strategies used by these russian trolls for example if we look at tweets targeting us politics for instance during the two thousand and sixteen election campaign we can see that did the goal wasn't just to spread false

information which of course was also a big problem but there was really also a goal to polarize it to deepen the division within the electorate and really to inflame partisan anger on both sides of the spectrum and the trolls did by targeting communities that were online communities that were already very part polarized and very gauged and by posting on divisive topics and we can look at an interesting example comparing two tweets to tweets posted by trolls this one says must shooting occurs even in gun free zones so people is a problem not guns on the same day another troll from the same factory saying my shooting won't stop until there are gun free zones so really you can see that there's theirs and into pollard eyes rather than make one side over bush one side

over the other and archive also shows that conservative accounts were not more more popular than the liberal accounts for it said rico thank you so much for your bob. t w social media. take short break we're back in just a minute with much more. european stars my commentary. influences pop and. understand why. incredibly. it's.

all consuming conflict for for. thirty years turned. to. cannons who failed to determine its outcome. in negotiations lasting only hears of mediators who succeeded in changing every event and. it was the birth of modern diplomacy. sixteen forty eight. to face starts october twenty fourth one day w. o o y o i had a lot of friends. thank you so much a lot of thinking. thank you. thank you thank you my god my god thank god thank you thank god thank god

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank you you. thank. back in watching the news coming to you live from berlin i'm terry martin coming up in the next fifteen minutes strapped of cash zimbabweans for hours to get the bare necessities we speak to our correspondent in harare. cameroon's constitutional council has rejected all bids to rerun the country's presidential elections this clears all legal obstacles to the polls held earlier this month results still haven't been announced but it's expected that president

paul b.-a will be reelected he has held power now already for thirty six years winning each term amid accusations of fraud in this latest election turnout in cameron's english speaking regions in the west of the country may have been as low as five percent separatists who want independence for the angle photo regions had called for a boycott there you're seeing seeing our cameraman in on your map there upset with the marginalization in the collective that part of the country by the french speaking elite now the francophone government is pushing back with repression. brings this exclusive report to us from. still to. come forth son jarrett was just nineteen when he was killed the seminary student had just walked out of

a church when soldiers suddenly appeared and opened fire. on. the it is that. it is just i'm just confused i don't even know what i can see. that is the only. several eyewitnesses say they saw killed at close range execution style even though he was clearly recognizable as a member of the church. the archbishop of mend is calling for action but fears there will be no response people are afraid of the army. and nobody seems to see. me because you are. you're not even getting the charges.

extra justice. just. execution of people. security forces are visible all over but we're not allowed to film them openly nearly every resident of this northwestern city has a story about their violence tactics many blame the president the body of a separatist has been on the streets for three days locals say it's the army's way of warning the population not to embrace independence for cameroon's english speaking region the governor is a close ally of president. he consented to meet us but only if we received our questions before then he rejected all but one of the people. of the security of. this crew should be under control all over the region. so. hot spots.

must situation over the region complained about human rights abuses and this is already asked could do that which. is. read. we venture out of the regional capital to get a sense of people's daily lives and how they're fairing in these tense times so we just left we already noticed the drivers on the road giving each other sign of a car is coming from the front it will tell. you that say if you should be careful . we drive through nearly empty villages whose main streets elian. quites after half an hour we reach the first separatist roadblock. with nice weapons they are fighting for their own state on the train to secure

their peoples are all in their words relations are because the armies were. to go soon people so this way. what do you do of the military comes if the guns were dealt with do we have. local health we used to manage it and or do. she drove us. to the. several separatist groups active in the region a few kilometers further we observe some of them intimidating local residents as well as people passing through they've threatened us too demanding protection money . the village of numbers often caught between france according to a local priest roland tells us that pressure from the separatists forced the school here to close two years ago. so he tries to set up

a kind of playground near the church to give children a place to go. it's difficult because. anything can give you some consolation i also hope to attend these people have to even come around to us to pay money in a group you can. bet you can find these boys asking these people to make some contributions to give to them to support them and the people their kids cannot do anything they just have to give they just have to be so now you don't know where. to run to the border to go into the soldiers because everyone is afraid you feel. back in bomb and once the commercial center of the region now it's economy is in ruins fear overshadows everything. as a sign of protest against the government so-called ghost town days have been taking place for almost two years every monday most people remain at home and shops are

closed it's just more vendors who are coming out to do some business because they need it just a wife and many of them told us they're still facing threats from separatists. the archbishop of sees no end to the spiraling violence without a total amnesty. to rest the archbishop appeals for a dialogue between the warring parties with the hope of sparing life's. adrian creech there reporting from the angle phone part of cameron adrian is now back in lagos in nigeria and he joins us now live the cost has rejected all petitions calling for a rerun of the election in cameroon does this mean that president paul b. will serve another seven year term. that is very likely terry you know

he's eighty five years old now that means if he is indeed elected one more time and after a seven year term he would be already ninety two years old but you need to understand that in his thirty six years in power he managed to build up a very efficient patronage system that means he installed people he knows very well people he trusts and almost all institutions in the country and that includes the courts and the electoral bodies before the elections i was actually talking to a village elder from the on the phone region and i asked him will you vote he said no i'm not interested in voting at all it will be the same thing like in the past he will find his way to stay in power anyway so i ask him if he stays in power what do we expect of him and then he told me basically hasn't done anything for us during his lifetime why would he expect him to do something now during his retirement age. remind us what the main grievances are of the people in the angle of phone regions why are they so opposed to paul b. is government. so you know the region

or cameroon as a country used to be in the first place a german colony nato on it was split between the french and the british colonial people who took power over there now they merged together and the smaller part was the british part basically makes about twenty percent of the population of the british they were promised certain rights certain. certain special status within this republic of cameroon but many have been saying they never got this special stages if we look at the educational system at the last system its way it was supposed to have both the english and the french way but these people have been saying it is not true if you really want to have a drop in you need to be a french speaker if you want to have a future you need to be a french speaker if you don't have that you definitely have disadvantages it briefly if you can tell us do most. people in cameroon at least those in the in the angle phone part of the country are they supporting the fight for independence.

or from what my feeling i think yes most people i talk to at least sympathize with the course what they don't sympathize with is the way that many of the separatists or at least a part of them are going ahead we've been seeing it with our own eyes when we're there it's not only the military xstrata in money from people it is also the i'm brazilians we were threatened we were also asked for protection money three times and of course that shows the a lot of how people who live specially in the rural areas have to cope then between the two sides they have the military and the amazonian fighters and they are the ones suffering adrian thank you so much adrian creech there talking to us from lagos in nigeria. now to another part of africa zimbabwe well long queues that's what many associate with zimbabwe under former president robert mugabe but zimbabwe is now facing what could be its worst crisis in

a decade after elections in july many hoped the country would return to prosperity when a new government was voted in under emerson miming god go up well now three months on food medicine and petrol shortages are worsening as the party fails to face up to decades of misrule. zimbabweans these days need lots of patience to gnashing up pretty much has already spent three hours queuing he is frustrated and he's also what it is that zimbabwe is sliding back into the economic meltdown of the mid two thousand like then zimbabwe is currently running short of basic supplies we are still experiencing sometimes it. takes me. for about two to feel good sometimes. sizable four to five here in central hierarchy emotions are running high until riot police have

even had to prick up scuffles over us cust commodities. and yet we haven't really get through it to get us back to first believe this few of us we are extending the course we are free to do your duty to be the first to do to deserve to win the good this is we are you going to please something must be done we're feeling to have been is this things. these people damaged goods to the bad to get a deal has been doing this say this is wrong i think it is a fear of justice china to discourage good people and even the kids who may be looking at you it would have killed you accepted zimbabwe is also dramatically short on kish because of this almost every zimbabwean now uses will borrow money or bank transfers. but last month the government introduced a two percent takes on electronic been translations staus have hiked prices and

buying power has fallen some businesses are struggling to restock others cannot operate at all but the government insists the new takes is necessary to help the countries but at economy we can do this without paying my views on the trick even the still true after that stuff. that move campaign that truly is a nation the stage before after is involved with elections in july many had high hopes for the new finance minister an economist wasn't part of the political establishment surrounding the robot would be and he's but but now people don't trust that these new takes these who help the country but this is a lot of bad feelings that this doubly risk you take taxes in the pool and fund their luxury lifestyle so i think you'll see the government be seriously suggesting

it's really interesting because we do see salaries good citizens can be comfortable but look at the government is actually coming to the party after more than twenty years of a collapsing economy zimbabwean say the can't enjoy the economic pain anymore the new president ima sort of sees the country chief the middle income economy flight twenty thirty but president signs point to a long road ahead. report there from d.w. correspondent privileged the neary is based in harare and he joins us now pretty much how tell us how do you go about your daily routine under these circumstances that we just saw you describe in in zimbabwe yes indeed it's

a struggle every day when you wake up these days it's either you're looking for fuel or you're looking for some basic that you have to use in the house best six like even bread you can't even sometimes when you go to the shops you can find bread but what is most. the cost of the goods. the price i just going through the roof. right now especially the prices in the pharmacies you can go to the pharmacy and they will charge you maybe probably for mid be seen for five hundred militants of. course they will side you seeks us dollars and if you don't have six us dollars they will ask you to pay eighteen to twenty dollars in bonus money so it is something that is very difficult for the ordinary man who doesn't have access to

for aches or privilege that sounds like a really difficult situation there for people to get on with their lives how much confidence do zimbabweans have in president when god was new government. at the beginning you know people will hopeful when the especially in november when we got it was dethroned and coming through the elections this year people we're hopeful that things were going to change but all of a sudden last month when new money terry measures we introduce the especially the two percent takes on electronic transfer he says you know. dented people's confidence in the current government because people are now taking the current government they're not seeing any difference between their regime or prison the mugabe in terms of changing lives. thank you so much that was privileged

fun hearing there talking to us from horror in zimbabwe. well the football world is getting shaken up larry and by and many we have by munich holding an extraordinary press conference today where the club's top brass slammed journalist for what they see as overly harsh criticism of their players chris harrington is here with me from did over your sports chris he did in a rather bizarre press conference never seen anything like it no i have not nothing so calculated from the brass of a club the c.e.o. the president and the sporting director made their message very plain and simple they're protecting their players the club and their coach and they're basically saying they're no longer going to accept this kind of media coverage this kind of disrespect they actually even threaten legal action is well they even it was revealed that the c.e.o. of byron munich karl-heinz roma nigga it was revealed that they issued

a cease and desist to axel springer group own german newspaper to build and build so they're taking this very seriously in terms of their position they even targeted former players turned pundits karl-heinz who may get himself was literally pointing fingers we have a snippet of something he had to say in the press conference terry let's take a listen to that now. the political news says the guy sitting right up here in the front row he goes on t.v. all the time making a big deal of how much they know and all the inside information they have to and that's a joke a complete joke and thus he said we're not going to accept that kind of thing anymore so i want to make that very clear today. so what's really behind all this chris why do we see the top management there by and lashing out at the media well according you know to the information that came on the press conference monday last monday when germany's international performance there matching is the

netherlands you know came out the netherlands way that they convened and decided that they were going to address. the media and tell them that they will no longer accept this title the style of journalism and just the derogatory type of reporting because we have to keep in mind byron munich have a lot of players that also play on germany's national team specifically on the defense manuel neuer homo's drawing board saying and the club president early on is was very harsh towards the media in terms of their criticism of the national coach your him look we have that sound bite as well terry let's take a listen didn't you lou for those who tried to get your glove fired that was disgusting. the high point was i think on tuesday before the france game. a camera was sent to a kid's training session we see ten or twelve year old boys were asked if they think that live should be fired. of course they said yes. that was

disrespectful. the man does not deserve that. you know i don't know what to make of it myself because you know i'm a member of the press obviously and you know when you take on the press that way you can provoke them do you think this could backfire i think it definitely will backfire actually it's interesting you point that out because a union of german journalists responded in said that they cannot be told what to do by bahrain and they are unaware of any law that forces in that kowtow to byron's demands you know so i do think a tug of war will take place and if bahrain lose to wolfsburg this weekend. gets a popcorn ready because i'm sure it's going to be quite a show back and forth a shredder for the media chris harrington who did all these for thanks so much ok.

i'm certain many comics as he claims with specificity these are scenes from bush none to even six there until you ation of the internationally for successful series course one eighty three he became available today in germany on i was on crime streaming service the ten episode espionage thriller stars twenty eight year old eunice and me as the sleeper east german agent mob teen girl. and karen helm step from the debris culture is here to tell us all about it so karen this takes is right back to the cold war when things were starting to crumble what's happening here ok so this time the scope of the series is definitely much wider it's much more global and things do indeed get a lot bloodier so i'm going to give you the back the back story from. land eighty three was of course that this is german border guard martine how do you mentioned i was sent to west germany as an undercover spy and he becomes embroiled in

a nuclear war game that very nearly goes badly arayan in order to prevent it doing so he actually is even forced to blow his cover so he's whisked into hiding so three years later the east germans are strapped for cash the country is broke it needs hard cash to finance its socialist ideals and it is prepared to do any amount of dirty dealing to get it but. sacked naval interesting. east german agent martine how he was banished to africa in one thousand nine hundred eighty three three years on his country now facing the loss of economic support from moscow to make an. almost noise. we needed a new angle and we have that because whereas the first series concentrated. the german german conflict within the cold war we now see more of a global dimension this is the new background check right because we shot south africa we have

a more international look at the internet so not having looked into the second source or simply ducks in a dish. and in the second series maria shot a returns as lenore a spy controller and on top but her role has changed somewhat. because of what i just said what i would really like is for the nora to get out of the office so that she's not just a puppet master but has to do something herself so that she's not just delegating. so to look yeah. somebody does it and well at this i wish it really got fulfilled in the second series. and stuff it is i. didn't. forget sufficient new addition to the cast as german comedian and you can as a government functionary charged with finding new sources of hard currency to keep the illing communist state afloat that students of history may be where he's term

and he survives at least this time around. so. well look so entertaining and on many levels and you know there's even humor in it but obviously the producers are hoping to build on the success of the pretty cool eighty three that's right which was of course incredible the makers being the german american couple you are going to go. eighty three was actually the first german language series to air on the u.s. network it got rave reviews internationally did amazingly in the u.s. and particularly in the u.k. won a lot of awards and of course it was sold in nearly two hundred countries so that's something that no german series had ever done before let's have a quick look as to why that success might have been so great. don't you know and eighty three was a surprise international hit back in two thousand and fifty this year the stylish spy thriller set in the divided germany of the cold war drew praise for its period

detail so what was the secret of that success. and the. last for you having more perspective of a young east german spy in the cold war that was something pretty new. and then i had all this funkiness on the. pop culture elements the music the fashions and furnishing us with the style of the interiors. that was a mixture that hadn't been seen before. but it was a mixture that didn't enchant german audiences as much as it did international ones . so it is three big international hit but not what germans want to i you know the germans are picky i think there's a lot of a lot of reasons for that i mean it seems first of all that the way it was broadcast didn't really fit very well with the changing consumption habits of viewers it was weekly two and episode installments private broadcaster ad breaks

and the whole bit secondly it had a very complex plot continues to have a very complex plot you really have to stick with the story because all of the action is based on real events you also have to know your history and thirdly for german audiences you know this cold war temper you going to have are going to interrupt we're not going to be mr who suffered in front of you because you're thankful.
