washington gets tough on saudi arabia and revokes the visas of suspects of the death of journalist jamal khashoggi meanwhile the saudis rulers offer condolences to you son despite allegations that they ordered the killing and profits of germany's deutsche bank to take another tumble we'll ask what could mean for what it could mean for europe's biggest economy. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program if you bought fresh produce in europe there's a strong chance that it may have come from an italian farm but there's a dark side to the juicy plums of ripe tomatoes that many of us enjoy on a regular basis d.w. has spoken with migrant workers in the latina area where we found exhausting work conditions poor pay and allegations that organized crime. gangs are preying on

pickers from india. an hour and a half from roam the villas hidden behind these high walls and hedges are vacation homes for well off italians but there's also shadow side to this fertile region the projects grown here is sold in supermarkets throughout europe but the laborers who harvest the fruits and vegetables on only a few euros per hour some of them have come from as far away as india. singh has been working in latino for twelve years he's one of nearly eighteen thousand sikhs from punjab working in this region friends from his village back home who told him he could earn good money in italy's agriculture sector he knew life here wouldn't be easy but he found it so challenging at the beginning but he often considered returned to india. for the normal. gold jewelry belonging to my wife and sister to pay for the trip here. i thought i'd

earned the money back quickly and retrieve the jewelry. was the best i was put to pay off the loan we had to sell the gold instead. of almost everyone who comes here goes through the same thing. reality is very different from what we expected. the living and working conditions are for miserable the official minimum wage is about nine euros the farmers pay less than a third of that many indians work seven days a week during harvest time up to twelve to thirteen hours a day. we were free in india i had my own business. so i could come to work late and go home early if i had better things to do so here it's different here you're only paid for the areas you work. but i'm doing better than others. she actually seeing has paid off his debts so he no

longer has to share a small flat with four or five other workers as he did before most are too afraid to speak on camera investigators say the laborers are trapped in their illegal jobs at the mercy of criminal gangs a majority of them have paid thousands of euros to people smugglers in exchange for forged papers and passage to italy as a result many end up as laborers who need years to get out of debt analysts say this practice is widespread throughout italy and grow better living through the farm workers take drugs like amphetamines opium and muscle relaxants especially at the beginning to cope with the punishing work conditions. boston people are trying to imagine being bent over picking radishes for fourteen hours a day with a boss standing over you saying you know work work or work when you've got all your . contribution toward. your body and soul would burn out pretty fast

main page investigators say the racket involves middlemen who seek out laborers in key part of their wages and dictate their work hours all of which is illegal in italy. and there's hardly a business in the agricultural sector that isn't part of the system one of the biggest radish producers in europe allowed us to film on their premises we confront the head of the company with the allegations about the middlemen and exploitation of their workers. to none of that's true that contradicts our company philosophy. if we found anyone was doing this we would fire them immediately i mean we're not among the firms that exploit their workers it's. not proper benefits so we've given them. the union workers insist that this company all. pays its laborers below

the minimum wage and that middle men act if they're too it's one person's word against another the workers themselves won't comment they want to keep their job check sheet seeing was able to bring his wife and children to italy a few months ago in the evenings other labor has come for dinner including men who've lived here for years in the hope of bringing families here despite the difficulties they say they're determined to stay because the money they earn in italy is still far more than what they'd be paying in india. first turn to some other news now the united states says that it will revoke or deny visas of twenty one saudis who it has links has linked excuse me to the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi it's an embarrassing turnaround for washington after president trump first took pains to defend its key ally in the middle east but as turkey revealed more details about the murder in istanbul the u.s.

has been forced to change track. of jovial donald trump surrounded by lawmakers in the oval office asked about the killing of jamal khashoggi the u.s. president blunt words they. should have never been thought of. well but he really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and word shouldst is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble. the u.s. says it's putting together its own intelligence about the killing and has identified some individuals behind it it's pouring entreats of twenty one suspects from the saudi government secret services and royal court but washington remains reluctant to get tough on a key ally and a major economic partner in particular trump is worried about losing a saudi arms deal to competitors i will tell you that russia. and

china would love to have that military order and i can said to my democrat friends do they would love this is one hundred ten billion dollars worth of military. yet some are taking a stand over casualties murder many western firms boycotted the kingdom's premier investment event which began on tuesday despite the brave face put on by crown prince mohammed bin salman these are difficult days for the saudis. we are going through. a crisis of short resulted for. a. very. boring incident that took place in turkey nobody in the kingdom. justifier to explain. earlier saudi media released extraordinary images the crown prince and king solomon meeting face to face with brother and son

independent sources say the same son has been barred from leaving the kingdom since last year as a result of his father's writing and many are directly linking the crown prince with the general staff. chief among the kingdom's critics the turkish president. he told parliament that turkey has strong evidence the murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul was premeditated and savage he called for the highest ranking of those responsible to face justice. and for more let's bring in correspondent dorian jones who is standing by in istanbul dorian as we just heard president once said that the killing was premeditated that they have strong evidence to support that why didn't he put forward though more evidence yesterday like the alleged audiotape for example what could the strategy be.

well indeed but i think the president urged one felt he did just enough he lay out what they say is powerful circumstantial evidence these three teams that were involved in the killing of. the careful preparations ahead of that which indicated this was a carefully premeditated planned and in fact for now at least does have the it appears the international community behind them in their in their narrative of events isolating riyadh but he didn't use the nuclear option this talk of these ordeal and related to a video tape recording the last minutes of khashoggi which according to turkish investigators show that he was tortured executed and then his body dismembered this is in many ways turkey's most powerful piece of leverage at the same time releasing it would possibly compromise its intelligence services and on the line that it was surveilling possibly the saudi consulate so ankara's keeping that back in its back pocket knows it's

a very powerful piece of leverage not only on riyadh but also on washington and for now it doesn't feel it needs to use that card and this is carefully this carefully corporal for i plan to further isolate and to extract the most concessions and chris is to get to the bottom of the truth when it comes to the approach of washington dorian and we know the cia director now in istanbul but it looks like the u.s. generally speaking is taking a slower approach it's been said that they're still in the fact finding stage is there potential for conflict here. i think quite the opposite i think what we're slowly seeing now is that washington and slowly coming together the fact that the cia chief came to uncreate just ahead of the one speech one delivered what many people consider was quite a restrained speech he didn't target the crown prince mohammed bin salman by name that will be a relief to washington in particular but the same time we see now the trunk does appear to be moving closer to uncle stance he's talking about this being the worst

cover up he said that people should be held to a. i don't i'm going to interview with the wall street journal and choose that for the first time he indicated the idea that the mohamed bin some of the crown prince could have been involved in the killing that will be seen as very significant on cross so i this is a long term plan on kurds play of isolating riyadh getting washington on its side. post and also seeing the benefits of. crushing riyadh and building closer ties with washington at the same time washing uncle really believes it's in the driving seat at the moment dorian jones in istanbul with the very latest thank you. now let's get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world hurricane wilma has hit the pacific coast of mexico as a category three storm packing winds of nearly two hundred kilometers per hour towns in the storm's path were mostly evacuated as it closed in but some people were forced to seek shelter in public buildings the storm is expected to bring

torrential rains as it moves further inland. at least twenty people many of them football fans have been hurt after an escalator on the row metro collapsed italian police say that most of the injured were c.s.k. moscow fans heading to their team's champions league game against a u.s. roma fire officials say that the accident happened about an hour before kick off. and more than four years into the simmering conflict in eastern ukraine nearly two thousand people have been killed by land mines alone no one knows how many land mines were laid in the chaotic early stages of the fighting today the country sees more casualties from mines than almost anywhere else on earth it's a problem that's expected to get worse as displaced people slowly return to their homes our correspondent nick connelly has been meeting people behind efforts to clear those minds. it may look calm now but just a few years ago these fields so intense fighting between ukrainian government

troops and russian backed separatists. over and over again the front lines shifted each time the retreating troops left mines and booby traps behind them. it's now up to civilians to pick up the pieces halo trust is an international ngo and the world's largest humanitarian mine clearance organization the challenges it faces in ukraine are unlike any other conflict zone. just what makes you queen different is that we have a real problem with trip wire traps and our organisation hasn't come across anything like them in other countries our experts have had to come up with new ways of dealing with them. it's back breaking work. a grenade and a trip wire that's all it takes a few summers after the traps were laid the weeds have grown tall making them almost impossible to spot clearing these traps is as much about touch as it is

about sight. there's no way of predicting how far you'll get in there it all depends on the vegetation. sometimes you'll manage twenty metres in a day sometimes it'll be just ten fifty years our priority and all of this in the distance the shooting continues the current frontline is just a few kilometers away. these people are searching for anti-tank mines the anti-personnel mine so characteristic of conflicts from yemen to mozambique a less widespread in ukraine. takes one hundred fifty kilograms to set off this kind of anti tank mine so a person on foot wouldn't be enough. but a tractor very definitely would. this may be a war zone but the rhythms of the farming year continue this is all that's left of the tractor that of was using to plough back in twenty fifteen soldiers had told

him that the field was safe. i lost consciousness when i came around i saw that i was on fire so i tried to get out of the tractor but i couldn't they pulled me out through the back window and then put the fire out for the most. of the photo but when i woke up in hospital they told me that only one mine had gone off there were more of them underneath me and when they came to get me out of the tractor they had to drive over the mines to. a seal sustained eighty percent burns on his legs three years and several operations later he's still in chronic pain it's not clear whether or not he'll ever be able to work again. back at the site they found a grenade that's failed to go off n.g.o.s like hello trust aren't allowed to dispose of ordinance themselves instead they must wait for the military to collect them and that can take weeks. ten twenty or sometimes just

five meters a day the progress here is painstaking no one can say with any certainty how long it will take to find all the mines that were laid in the chaos of the early stages of the war but left untouched these mines have the potential to maim and kill the people of this region for decades to go. sports news the champions league returned on tuesday night and to take us through all of the drama ed mccambridge from sports we have to talk about winning in athens let's begin with that does it mean the mini crisis is over well personally i don't think they're out of the woods just yet their problems haven't really been so much in europe this season they've struggled domestically. and they were actually on a six game unbeaten streak away in europe and they made it seven last night against a pretty poor inside to be perfectly honest i mean it's always a pretty fiery atmosphere in the stadium but they and they struggled a little bit at the start but they made the breakthrough in the end i made it seven

seven wins in a series. seven unbeaten games in a row away in europe and actually put a joint top of their group with like i say it's been going ok for them in europe so far this season but what they do next domestically will be the real test of course is that was only one of the matches last night we know that there were seven others talk about you know a lot of flipping the channels there what was your pick of the evening was the big stories going into the into the match day so christiane and all those returned to old trafford with the events as was one of the big stories they won one nil he didn't actually go to school she him self elsewhere of course holders reale were in action as well they got a two one win but it was actually a another bundesliga club hoffenheim which provided most of the thrills last night three all draw. could see of some pretty slapstick defending. as we can see there in the pictures but managed to get two of the goals and put them up to one after a pretty poor start but then the one fight back got them back on the front foot and it was only a very very late goal from jolin tone which actually rescued

a point at the end of the game and it was funny actually because you know goldman said that despite the fact that he thought there were basically three own goals of his i conceded they were absolutely awful but he was really really angry with the referee at the end and said this should be a bit more time because of the number of goals because he thinks they could have actually got on one that for three ok so let's look forward darkman at that to go madrid facing off what's expected there well this is a really tasty too and i think a lot of football fans can be really excited for tonight dortmund of course one of the form teams in europe but up against that same with real pedigree enough lead to come adrift have done very well in the tournament in recent years and we're actually going to hear from the dortmund coach lucien farber here he thinks he's got a tough task tonight for his team. mexico has been one of the best teams in europe for the last seven or eight years they were always among the first three in a spanish league that even won the title once they've reached the champions league final twice they're always up there they're always competing on the. court so i

mean he seems wary there of the troubles that atletico can cause them he is of course that he should be because of a very good team of some of the world's best players the likes of griezmann of shorts of course i'm a bit of trouble but i think i was actually going to be quietly confident tonight like i say his team is really being on fire domestically at least so far this season they've got the likes of mark arroyo firing goals in on the regular and i'd like to say it's going to be really tasty taranaki expect a lot of goals see how they deal i know you'll be watching mccambridge thank you so much. nasa cameras flying over antarctica have discovered an unusual sight a perfectly rectangular iceberg is floating off the larson sea ice shelf check this out because scientists say that the icebergs where shape and sharp angles show that it is likely to have just broken off just recently the larsen sea ice shelf is one of several that stretch along the coast of antarctica both shelves a and b.

have disintegrated in recent decades likely due to rising global temperatures scientists believe that the ice shelves at that around for at least the past ten thousand years. time now for more news of earhart first and we're talking about figures coming out of deutsche bank disappointing and profits are melting away and it's nothing to do with climate change georgia has posted a sixty five percent decline in year on year profit for the third quarter with earnings coming in at two hundred twenty nine million euros all of the balance divisions recorded lower yields with revenues in the particularly important fixed income business that's government company bones' down fifteen percent nevertheless in a letter to the banks employees see or even said bojo was on track for a profitable year for the first time since twenty fourteen once one of europe's leading brands has struggled since the financial crisis in the past ten years the

band says have lost around ninety percent of the value. that's bringing in. blitz from the change call that's a massive drop for q three but still for on track for a profitable full year how is the top. well george is going through a massive very costly restructuring that would see osei things as it's almost over so that might be a positive outlook here of however he does have to make sure he keeps control over it because we're to been in a similar situation twenty seventeen quarter three looked very very good but then a quarter for costs exploded and the profit was gone and just a minute to add this just because profits are down doesn't doesn't mean the bank doesn't make any profits but saving is known for being a very strict cost cutter so there might be

a chance he's actually right. though it's about has been in disarray for many is that just a virus by the national embarrassment or does it really have any consequence for the german economy. well it certainly is an embarrassment who is going to take germany and frankfurt possibly seriously as a global economic player as a market place if it doesn't have a big strong international bank but it also has consequences for the economy of course because banks are at the heart of soul of an economy they lend out money to businesses who can then invest that and that. triggers the economy that triggers the growth. now in good times you can rely on foreign banks of course to give you money but increase in times of crisis they often focus on their home markets so that means less money available or a you'd have to go as a company to banks maybe in china or in the u.s. and you really want to rely on them. as you can about the u.s.

the bags that there are doing quite well what are they doing differently briefly if you will. well in two thousand and eight the government shove the whole bunch of money down their throat so they got a head start but also daughter has just been really really weak and restructuring there is a lot of internal quarrels they tried to get up with the investment banking but that never really turned out well for them so a lot of difficulty is just with her bank and specifically focus on births in frankfurt thank you. rating agency moody's has downgraded the credit rating of several italian banks and companies putting them in just one notch above junk status that comes after the e.u. rejected italy's national budget on tuesday in an unprecedented move brussels has demanded the rome present a revised budget draft within three weeks but the italian government isn't wavering

despite the risk of higher sovereign debt levels the e.u. says italy's plans break its rules and risk confidence in the euro zone. well they see as fiercely debated budget plans all the italian government include a so-called citizens' wage it's a flagship policy of italian deputy prime minister luigi anti establishment five star movement which has governed its lead with the right wing lega sins jew the basic income scheme is pulling the poorest italians are the poverty and bolster the economy and those eligible will receive a payout of up to seven hundred eighty euros per month without conditions attached critics fear though the ten billion euro initiative will destabilize the economy because it is largely fun and by that. inside a job center in a poor naples neighborhood dozens of people are filling out the same form. a team of five employees helps them but they use paper clips and piles of folders more

than computers but soon the job centers will be launching a new welfare policy but no one's explain the details to local officials but if you all see by it ended with today we've met two or three times and labor minister luigi de milo asked us to explain our difficulties and that but every region has different problems getting all of these if they didn't explain anything about the basic income scheme or how it will be implemented in the job centers i mean got it . a bit on the basis of the outside of money while they've already ali says he has no hope that jobs and i will find him work. that it was the same from my father he was signed up here for more than thirty years and never received a phone call never. mind. the unemployed greengrocer gets only a few hundred euros per month but under the new scheme his benefits will be much

more generous up to seven hundred eighty euros per month. the government plans include investing large sums into modernizing job centers which will verify that recipients are actively looking for work. but currently only three percent of job seekers find employment with the help of the centers. the new policy is designed to lift five million a talionis out of poverty it's part of italy's proposed big spending budget aimed at boosting private consumption economic growth and tax revenues. but if the scheme fails some observers warn it could trigger another eurozone financial crisis. that's all your business you know watching the news live from the village there's more news coming at the top of the hour and don't forget. you can always get all it's news and information on our website it's not supposed to w. dot com i still watch it but i.
