this is due to the news coming to you live from berlin migrants exploited on italian farms d.w. investigates the dockside of the country's vast fruit and vegetable industry workers from india are too scared to speak out but aid groups say they are poor ones in the hands of middlemen and work in punishing conditions also coming up over it was horrible executioners are of officialdom that of it execution or a coverup she should have never. put in washington gets tough on a saudi arabia and revokes of the zones of suspects of the death of journalist

jamal khashoggi meanwhile the saudi rulers offer condolences to shock she's sung despite allegations that the ordered the killing. and explosive devices in france to film a battlefields in eastern ukraine as a fragile peace takes hold on correspondent joins the people working inch by inch to make the region safe again. hello and welcome i'm the time cheema italy's well known for its fruit and vegetable industry in georgia but aid groups a day is a dark underbelly to this lucrative sector migrant labor is used in some agricultural farms working in punishing conditions and for poor wages the japanese do me conrad went to the latino region to investigate allegations could organize.

crime gangs are preying on food because from india he has a report. now and a half from rome 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 then only a few euros per hour some of them have come from as far away as india. singh has been working in latina 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. or the army corps and gold jewelry belong 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 a better way to pay off the loan we had to sell the gold instead. of always 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 years 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 is different here you're only paid for the areas you work. but i'm doing better

than others. 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 inductors one of the laborers who need two years to get out of debt analysts say this practice is widespread throughout italy and grow better leaving me to return to the farm workers take drugs like amphetamines opium and muscle relaxants especially at the beginning to cope with the punishing work conditions. prostitution. imagine being bent over picking radishes for fourteen hours a day with a boss standing over you saying you know work work or work and you 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 the 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 or even then. the union workers. insist that this company also

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 so actually seeing was able to bring his wife and children to italy a few months ago in the evenings other laborers come for dinner including men who've lived here for years in the hope of bringing their own 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. for more i'm joined by a correspondent. in mumbai well you've reported on this story several times in the past just how widespread an issue is this. that's right on because i traveled to. b.b.c. a few months ago and you're going to actually will speak to a lot of these people are all well barry levy but not what you know number two this

is often quite difficult but it's debatable because all of them. to this i'm going to say that and be wrong few thousand tens of thousands but actually more than the number all of this story is really important i mean some of the aspects that statement was the last to be of all of these. for all the states that. don't know how it's going to get judicially before one of the up at two hundred feet get to a city and has everything on the line if he owns a job was a jew and a legal agent who made all of this possible last thing that he stayed with me was that a lot of the john laws actually operate in this. are actually people strong india themselves are not of india locus is not on this day more or than fifteen to twenty has not begun gambits goes out and the last aspect and i think. this story

is the drugs that a lot of these people have not done to actually that was covered by by my colleague up which is not you know the south end and that is really. the story. in mumbai thank you very much for that information. and we do apologize for the quality of that line to mumbai nearly two thousand people have been killed by land mines in eastern ukraine in the past four years no one knows how many mines were laid in the chaotic early stages of the conflict today the country sees more casualties from land mines than almost anywhere else in the world it's a problem that's expected to get worse as displaced people slowly return to their homes are kiev correspondent nick connelly has been to meet the people behind the dangerous and painstaking efforts to clear those mines. 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. what makes you queen different is that we have a real problem with tripwire traps 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 out of there it all depends on the vegetation. sometimes you'll manage twenty metres in a day sometimes it'll be just ten safety is our priority in all of this. in the distance the shooting continues the current front line 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. it takes one hundred fifty kilograms to set off this kind of empty 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 the bustle 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. 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. 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 halo 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. but some other stories making news around the 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 spotter mostly evacuated as it closed in but some people before still seek shelter in public buildings the storm is expected to bring terentia rains as it moves further in that. at least twenty people many of them football

fans have been hard after an escalator on the room metro station collapsed italian police say most of the injured were c.s.k. moscow fans. heading to the team's champions league game against rumah some eyewitnesses say people were seen jumping and dancing on the escalator before it broke down. in. the united states is it a revoke or deny the visa of twenty one saudis who it has linked to the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi it's a turnaround for washington after president trump at fust was a bain's to defend its key ally in the middle east but a sticky revealed more details about the model in istanbul the us has been forced to change tack. a jovial donald trump surrounded by lawmakers in the oval office asked about the killing of jamal khashoggi the us president. big deal. but what he really messed up and they had the

worst cover up ever and word. is at the deal standpoint where 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 on the 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. 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. incident that took place in turkey nobody in the kingdom. justify it or 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 rights and money directly linking the crown prince with the journalist staff. chief among the kingdom's critics the turkish president.

he told parliament that turkey has strong evidence in the saudi consulate in istanbul was premeditated and savage he called for the highest ranking of those responsible to face justice. what the breadth that clock ticking fears are growing that britain could crash out of the european union without an agreement on what comes next elite is agreed to endorse the deal in mid november if enough progress has been made you concent president to say to the european parliament on wednesday he was raised to call for special breaks that summit whenever negotiations and negotiators are ready he spoke at a meeting of the european parliament in strasbourg france he also says the u.k. could be granted an extension on the brakes a transition period if it crested by. joining me now from strasburg aziz i'll

be correspondent max so max the e.u. seems to be very to give britain more time and extend its transition period how significant is this and what does it mean. well just a reminder the transition period starts the day that britain is no longer part of the european union so if everything goes as we anticipated that will be the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen and then for now they have a transition period of two years that's to negotiate the future trade ties for example a future free trade agreement and now the willingness is there apparently on the side of the e.u. to extend it to three years which would sorely be needed because if you look at the past free trade agreements that the e.u. has negotiated for example with canada it took much longer than three years but don't notice the president of the e.u. council speaking here in strasbourg was also careful about it because he knows that

in the u.k. to reset the british prime minister faces resistance as to extending that transition period because among the back to tears are a lot of people who would rather see the u.k. leave the e.u. sooner than later so we're not sure if this is actually going to happen but we do know that it would be necessary to negotiate anything at the same time the british prime minister to visit may give a very upbeat assessment saying ninety five percent of the majority agreement has been selected out is this a view of this upbeat assessment shared by the e.u. . the chief negotiator for the commission i think the figure at ninety percent the gist of it is a lot of the topics have been covered have been settled except for one which is of course or at least one major one which is the hard border a possible hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the rest of the island which is the republic of ireland which belongs to the

european union and the head of the liberals here who is also the chief negotiator for the parliament and bracks it put it this way it doesn't really matter whether we're ninety percent by five percent or ninety nine percent if this issue is not resolved so the hard border or the border between northern ireland and ireland then this parliament right here in strasburg will not wait through any kind of deal so even if we're far along down the road the most complicated issue remains and it's completely unclear how it will be resolved right maxell fun in strasbourg thank you very much for that. nasa cameras flying over antarctica have discovered an unusual site above. iceberg is floating off the lawson sea ice shelf scientists say the icebergs rash shape and shop angles show it is likely to have just broken off recently the loss and sea ice shelf is one of several that stretch along the coast of antarctica both ships a and b.

percent of that value. shed some light on the crisis that bank is still in and bring in michael hughes and he's with c.m.c. markets and joins us now from london michael do you share the ceo's optimism that budget will show a full year profit. here good morning i think you'll be progress if i post a loss and certainly having come off the back of three years of losses it doesn't look as if the bank will post a profit or be a small one but i think the rest a sense of the chief and i was found financial officer to talk about bonuses was telling if you're going to have a fairly decent year you're going to have fairly decent profits why be shy about talking about this is i think his reticence to do so suggests they have some doubts you talk of the c.f.o. let's talk about the c.e.o. questions even do you think he's doing a good job with kicking doj into shape or is it just too early to say. i think it's

i think it's too early to say i think when you actually look at how long he's in been he's been in position he inherited a complete mess and it's really going to take quite some time frame to sort out the mess that was left behind at the moment there doesn't appear to be any clear strategy yes he is looking to pare down the headcount from the current ninety four thousand to around about ninety thousand but i think he needs to do much more and i also think that he needs to really decide on a business strategy for the future as opposed to for the past you mentioned the mess that he in inherited who inherited the the mess from i mean how long bill does this go bad. i think this goes back a very long time if you look at the sector piers photoshop bank companies like j.p. morgan morgan stanley even bought place for example here in the united kingdom they are much further down the progress path in terms of restructuring their businesses than deutsche bank and all and also money i think it's going to take at least

another two or three days of difficult restructuring before deutsche bank can show that is turned a corner what do you think are the major issues that he has to deal with we've learned that i.t. is one of them is there any anything else that you would point to. well i think that's the case thing i think i think he's looking too much at legacy business investment banking domestic banking domestic banking is very low margin given the fact that commerce bank has just been kicked out of the earth stocks fifty and repin replaced by a fin tech i think he. really needs to focus on digital payments infrastructure a and really i think look at digital banking which is really i think taking place over here if you look at h.s.b.c. in the u.k. their online bank first direct is very competitive and it's very low cost and i think that really is the model that needs to be leaning towards going forward.

michael hewson from c.m.c. markets think you very much for joining us today thank you. italy's deputy prime minister matteo salvini has said his government won't change its budgets despite e.u. demands to do so he said italy no longer wants to be a servant to silly rules rome and brussels are squabbling over its least twenty nine thousand budget after rejecting the initial proposal brussels as demanded that the italian government present a revised spending plans within three weeks rome's defiant stance has seen rating agency moody's downgraded italy's banks to a notch above junk status due to fears the government debt may become unsustainable . cuba imports most of the food it consumes but sugar was never really on the country's shopping list but now for the first time in history cuba has to import forty thousand tons of sugar in just three months the

communist nations once was world leader in sugar production cane sugar once accounted for seventy five percent of cuban exports but now it comes from france the local harvest suffered badly from. that ravaged the odd it was followed by an unusually long rainy season police you know borrow quickly noticed a curious turn of events. when produced from cane as in cuba sugar tends to be brownish but the french version comes from beets and is white. and is on the sugar that has now been arriving is good it's very sweet not very different from cuban sugar the main difference is the colors of. cuba's sugar industry was once the flagship of the islands as with cultural exports fidel castro cutting sugar canes after the revolution illustrated the france importance to the nation. the soviet union used to buy most of cuba sugar after the fall of communism

in europe trade figures dwindled as did investments in seeds and fertilisers. more recently last year's hurrican devastated large parts of the country the subsequent harvest was one eighth of the size of nine hundred ninety. yet. there's a lack of resources and a lack of money but i believe that there are also structural and organizational factors so the thought of whether what it was. and most of what does get harvested has to be shipped abroad mostly to china due to long standing contracts to meet domestic demand forty thousand tons of french sugar were imported in the second quarter alone symbolizing a broader change sugar is no longer cuba's lifeline. tourism and remittances from emigrants are now the major driving forces of the island's economy.

on wednesday the european parliament set to vote on an e.u. wide ban on cotton buds strollers and other plastic disposables in an effort to protect marine life the plan would include recycling quotas for plastic bottles and fishing nets use environment committee wants to see the list of prohibited products it's tended to include lightweight carrier bags and for the strain take away books spending approval from parliament european commission and e.u. member nations the ban could come into force in twenty twenty one. that's all your business is up to date you're watching the news live from berlin there's more news coming on the top of the all out of course you can get all the xmas and information on the folks on the website of course the w dot com thanks for watching.
