ironically this is the issue that more than any other has hastened the chance of a political divide us. just a day after announcing she's to leave the political stage within three years angela merkel was back showing that for now she's still at the heart of things germany is hosting african leaders as part of a drive to boost investment in the continent but one your in mind they want to send a clear signal today namely that a good and profitable neighborly relationship with africa is important to us because. we are neighbors we are partners and we europeans take a great interest in african countries having good economic prospects good to. perfect he even. under development is a problem in many parts of africa and it's a key cause of the mass migration which is created new pressures in europe. the g

twenty compact with africa program launched by germany a year ago aims to create jobs in africa and encourage young people to stay in their home countries the current chairman of the african union says there are already signs it's working as a result of financial. reform now for the union has achieved the savings of the fur of percent in our next budget and the member states paying it with it a share of the b. . germany has also launched an even closer partnership with a group of countries such as senegal morocco and ethiopia berlin is offering extra money but the support is dependent on reforms. you're far far from it we want the african countries to carry out reforms the of the africans must do more themselves

above all on good governance and combating corruption come these twelve countries are doing this that's what this group of that is involved and we believe in economic cooperation. of the traffic court but on the compact for africa has generated new investment though some say progress is too slow and others question who benefits more africans or western firms but the leaders gathered in berlin were clear that this public and private investment is a win win for both europe and its southern neighbors. and we can say without equivocation that africa is indeed open for business. help for africa's economic development could be the right lesson from the migration flows of recent years and become a key part of medicals legacy. so. is all this money going to go well the reporter christine one who has spent many years reporting from africa

daniel pelts is here from the africa desk a welcome both let's start with you. i know michael says she's raised a billion euros for this project where's it going where she's proposing a whole set of measures i think the big thing here is a so-called development investment for which is supposed to help especially small and medium sized enterprises both from from europe and from africa that want to invest but that need support in order to do so and then there are a couple of other measures as well as such as tax incentives and the training program for africa's youth and german companies came to set up plans across the continent where there seems to be more interest than before apparently there are more companies that are interested but it's not clear whether that's actually going to translate into real investments in the end because the big thing is african companies obviously need markets i mean if they are supposed to set up a plan for example and really employ

a lot of people really start local production because that is what would really move africa's economies forward these a sizable market in the large customer base and if you look at the compact countries there are a couple of small countries that are part of the initiative and they're there simply won't find enough customers so it really remains to be seen whether you're on the scale christine that the size of the of the market that's true i mean in a lot of countries you just don't have enough people of unifying pala and that's just the truth that you don't have that disposable incomes because people don't have what it is they don't have regular incomes coming in so that is a big challenge infrastructure is another big thing as well when i speaks industry from abroad and say why entre investing on the continent the infrastructure isn't there some of those countries you don't have reliable electricity as so the idea of sitting up effect that. we are there that have electricity running or not is a challenge but i would also say feel i have seen it on the ground that there are some improvements being made i have seen. you know roads being built i have seen capacity being you know coming together and i think what i'm hearing from african

viewed as as they go into what really is a platform for them to showcase to the world the progress that they've made is to say yes we have been behind but we are making changes have a look at us a little bit more closely you know us from the past and it hasn't been really good to be are trying there are certain incentives etc so there is some progress on that front and i would think that is the message and that is coming from african leaders and here in europe i can see lots of people being very critical of european money going into regimes that have frankly quite dubious their human rights record and yeah and you know what you hear that on the ground as well you hear human rights groups on the ground saying you know consider the human rights records of these governments as well consider the corruption levels you know more due diligence is required but i don't think anybody is going to stand and say we don't want investment or don't bring investment get into the deva what this comes down to is we need to create jobs in these countries because a lot of youngsters when they leaving the continent they're doing so because of jobs among social media interact with around him people

a lot of the mrs they send their asking can i get a job in germany i have a degree in in such as such a field how do i get a job in europe and so if we do not address the issue of creating jobs there the migration then when people are seeking better opportunities elsewhere it's going to continue and i get the sense that this is what they're trying to address as well we're looking at a continent that is going to have a job market of four hundred million young people looking for that job those jobs need to be created and that needs to start now so the mrs from the human rights groups on the ground at least would be to say don't stop at just giving money but push these guys both of these politicians in the way of human rights activists pick up two of the ports that christine just made on the infrastructure and on governance because this money from europe has come with these these three strings about good governance where money from the billions and billions from the chinese just that they're investing it in for service of the. have it without without bothered about your human rights record and that's why they are rather popular partners in many african countries that's exactly the issue that is on the table

that african or that the chinese companies in the chinese government are not necessarily are asking questions while western development partners i mean they're also investing partially in countries where the human rights record is not not not excellent i mean if we look at egypt's president who was participating in the summit here in berlin today there's of course a lot of criticism about the human rights record of his government as well but still by and large it's true to say that western partners are asking for conditions such as good governance and democracy so yes there's a great great difference to the chinese where we'll see where that where that all goes good talking to you about that christine the model thanks all of us to you. know on the sidelines of the summit chancellor merkel told the press that her phased withdrawal from politics would not affect german foreign policy. i think the biggest seating position in international negotiations will not be

changed or affected in any way you can only say that i will now fully focused on my job to stay ahead of government understands the list of possible candidates for the chairmanship of the c.d.u. party is concerned as a said yesterday ease and open crisis as the previous chad women in my political life i've learnt that question of succession are questions that you shouldn't intervene in because it's never worked and that is something i will definitely stick by so this is an open prison so there are people throwing their hats in the ring we will watch it and we'll see what happens at the party conference in hamburg. thank you. let's hear more from chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome melinda's under the magical says this is business as usual the negotiating position will not change but can she now be relied on to deliver for international partners. certainly they seem to hope so

there were a number of european and international legal leaders who have essentially paid tribute to her decision over the past twenty four hours and said that they expect to continue doing business with her until the end of her term as chancellor in twenty twenty one and clearly the chancellor's take on this is that she and her government can now finally get down to business yesterday when she announced her decision she said that her government had conveyed a completely unacceptable image and in fact the perception not only here at home in germany but amongst many international partners of this country is that the government has been very very self-absorbed riven with internal dissent essentially ever since it took office just last week i have to diplomats one for perhaps one from poland told me that they have the feeling germany has been absent in international discussions of crucial e.u. issues over the past six months so clearly the hope would be that now with this

matter clarified that the government can begin to look toward the future and can begin to actually do the real work of governing including in our national relations is the chancellor herself as a broker as an international leader weaker than she was at the height of her power absolutely but is she weaker than she was say the day before yesterday or at the beginning of this last term in government no absolutely not and i think she remains a vastly respected figure in europe and internationally and i wouldn't i wouldn't be too quick to call or a lame duck and tell you so that's got to go to be chancellor internationally and fly the flag while here in germany well very must be a good deal of horse trading going on tolkien's sure that the whole trading on the reactions and political belin. absolutely there is

a scramble for the position of her successor that will not be decided until early december at a conservative party conference but a number of hats have already been thrown into the ring and they range from outspoken rivals and critics of the chancellor one of whom she actually pushed out of power as the head of the c.d.u. parliamentary group years ago he's now come back and said he'd like to lead the party in a new direction there is another critic of hers the quite conservative health minister young. a fairly young member of her party and then there is her designated successor her favorite who is currently the general secretary of the party that's on the great comp colleen power she certainly would carry on in the chancellor spirit if she were to take over probably the chancellor absolutely would stay out her term if either of the other two rivals and critics take over the party leadership we may see uncle americal term in power and sooner rather than later

chief political correspondent linda craig thank you. germany's biggest post-war serial murder case to form a nurse has admitted killing one hundred patients forty one year old a new who made the admission during his trial for mass murder in the northern city of bremen is already serving life for previous killings at two different hospitals the scale of his alleged crime so shocked the country. the defendant is accused of committing mass murder his motivation according to the prosecution boredom and vanity and unusually large crowd turned up to witness the proceedings the trial is taking place in a conference center to accommodate the crowd many relatives of the victims there's a fine is also. the trial is unusual because there are so many people involved. and there are hundred twenty six plaintiffs in there being represented by seventeen lawyers that means the trial is huge just because of the number of people involved

the defendant is alleged to have injected his victims with drugs to bring about a cardiac arrest he then tried to resuscitate them as a way of impressing his colleagues he allegedly killed more than one hundred people like this some of his colleagues are accused of turning a blind eye. so if you have auto industry it's i'm expecting us to get justice for all the victims and that the defendant will have his sentence extended i also hope that in the course of the trial we will find out more details about the role of the hospitals involved before you go to. the clinic and. a very good is expected in may next year. the report of frederick about joe has been following this story for us so well tell us more about neil's goals motivation so. he is already serving a sentence after he was convicted of committing two murders back in two thousand

and fifteen. for the ongoing investigation we now know that the number of deaths were actually much higher and today he admitted in front of a shocked court that he actually killed one hundred patients by injecting by giving them intentionally a medical overdose what we're learning which is really also shocking is the fact is the motivation has been giving and he said he did that because he wanted to then be able to revive these people and in a way come through as the hero in that situation which in most cases of course when it's terribly wrong as we've seen and psychiatrists have been invalidating him and they said that he suffers from a severe narcissistic disorder and they said that he was moved by vanity he acted out of boredom he himself said that he was craving a positive feedback while doing that and now we will have to see whether the

investigation is still ongoing if you get if he is convicted of these one hundred murders he would then become the worst serial killer in germany after since the posts were all ok so if he said was do it killing one hundred people one wonders how this is possible in one hospital over us. so many years how does one person kill that many people and nobody noticed yeah exactly and it was in two hospitals in the you know where section saxony actually and it's a question of course that many people have been asking especially the families of the victims who have some of them have been accusing the hospitals of neglecting the hints and now of course a former colleagues at the hospitals have been have admitted that they've been noticing a troubling number of deaths under his watch and that by the hospitals didn't open and official investigation back then and in fact it was pretty simply able to

access this medicine he was able to enter the patient's room rooms when the other nurses or doctors were where not there and police have said that if local health officials had warned them earlier maybe he could have been stopped before a federal budget thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world britain's prime minister is that once again rule that's a second referendum of the country's membership of the european union speaking in norway theresa may also denied they were plans for a general election to break the brics deadlock she's in oslo to discuss the u.k.'s departure from the block with nordic and baltic leaders. the thousands of central american migrants continue to travel towards the united states the pentagon is deploying more than five thousand troops to the u.s. and mexican border another two to three thousand soldiers are reportedly being put on standby. a typhoon across the nova philippines has left at least six people dead

typhoon hew to brought down power lines and trees ripping roof from homes and stores the wind and rain also triggered deadly landslides last month a typhoon man could left more than one hundred dead or missing. in the nigerian capital abuja authorities votes a series of deadly crackdowns on crowds of protesting shiite muslims members of islamic of the islamic movement of nigeria have been rallying in recent days to demand the release of their imprisoned leader abraham zacky nigeria authorities say at least six people died when soldiers fired into the crowd after coming under attack from rocks and explosives demonstrates the site dozens more have been killed since the weekend. or many of the wounded are hiding from all stars in cafe about an hour's drive from a boojum d.w. correspondent added creech is that there welcome the advent of these protests have

been going on for days bring us up to date which is. awful the latest numbers we get from the islamic movement off nigeria the shia movement behind the protesters that over the past three days forty of their members were killed and right now i am at a place as you said outside of about an hour drive where some of them are treated as they call it a transition center because they don't want to bring them to ospital it's right now i would rather call it the hideout because they are scared that those people who are being treated here would eventually be arrested by the military later on and it's not only six people you can see behind me with gunshot wounds many of them have gunshot wounds there's also two dead bodies in the background basically in the same room with those wounded ones and they everybody i talked to has been bitterly complaining about that they were attacked by the military they were arms and they just opened fire the military and the police keep insisting that they were tect first but from what we have seen and then what from we've seen also on social media

videos of the protests that are circulating online is that indeed there were text people throwing stones but they were not armed so the big questions many nigerians are asking themselves why did the military opened fire let's talk about abraham as exactly the leader of these protesters he's been in jail since twenty fifteen so why are people only protesting now. the protests have been going on ever since the crisis actually reach his peak in two thousand nine hundred fifteen when the house of the exact he was attacked the military claimed that the group plotted an attack on the chief of army staff and afterwards there raided the house killed more than three hundred people and arrested zach zach is exactly is said to be a very charismatic leader he managed to make the shia believe very strong in nigeria it is still clearly a minority minority muslim group here but still he managed to get in more and more people to support this group right now he is still in detention no charges against

him were placed in front of any court so far still. keep him in prison and that's what people keep on proto stating against protesting against that's what they've been doing in the past month but also what we've seen today in object so these are followers of this islamic movement of nigeria how does that group compare to the boko islamic insurgents. well actually it's a big difference the shia group here they keep on insisting that they are nonviolent but a lot of experts say that the developments we're seeing right now are pointing to the same development every seen a couple of years ago with boko haram the authorities actually reacting in a very violent way when they see peaceful protest and this is exactly what happened in the northeast of nigeria with boko haram and this is what many fear could happen here now with this shia group if they keep on shooting people who are not young

people who are frustrated of course seeing their brothers their friends die next to them of course this is. creation very interesting report from hideouts just outside the nigerian capital abuja let's move on to business with christopher who is here with the latest a german figures and they make for good reading that is right unemployment continues to decline fell germany's unemployment rate fell below five per cent of tobar the lowest level ever recorded since german reunification only two point two million people are without a job currently the figures continue to show a downward trend despite the headwinds in the global economy. a robust economy has helped push germany's joblessness rate down for the first time since one thousand nine hundred unemployment has fallen below five percent. the unemployment rate has fallen from five point eight percent in january to four point nine percent in

october that is the lowest rate recorded since germany reunified in one thousand nine hundred ninety the trade dispute between washington and brussels doesn't appear to have had an adverse effect on the german job market and neither has the u.s. china trades but the recent turbulence in the market has strengthened the dollar over the euro that means that german products have become cheaper abroad also record unemployment has helped boost consumer confidence and household spending in europe's biggest economy. but despite that the rate of people at risk of poverty is rising in germany according to experts that figure has more than doubled since two thousand and five more germans now have fixed term contracts or work part time while there is more work job security is diminishing. while the labor market in spain has been looking much less rosy in addition the spanish government's energy

policy is refocused on renewable power sources meaning more than a thousand coal miners will lose their jobs by the end of the year alone the government has promised to invest heavily in alternative employment and one traditional coal mining region in southern spain isn't scared of taking a novel approach to job creation by releasing chainsaw wielding killer zombies and evil clowns into the landscape. there's definitely money to be made in making people scream. the fully fledged scream park concept has been a money spinner in the u.s. for decades but has been slow to take off in europe. hora land is based in an abandoned coal mine and power station north of barcelona the spanish government has vowed to close down most of its coal mines by the end of the year and mining areas are looking to tourism and other industries more than one hundred people now work at hora land including more than ninety actors in elaborate costumes and makeup

interacting with state of the art animatronic robots. that. will look for two different kind of people on the one hand we were looking for actors and specially we wanted them to have experience in the field of acting and also to have. a background and on the other side we looked for us or stud or is we like people that is able to to make an impact to scare people. in the screen park grounds visitors can pose for selfies with characters from their favorite splatter films and there's a frightening variety of horrific attractions to choose from including some based on popular horror movies i. it's very exciting i'd say i'm very surprised it makes you shiver

a little but above all it's surprising it's very exciting it wouldn't she doesn't. but the new jobs are not permanent. the attraction is only open at certain times of year starting with halloween season when it's open for two weeks in october and november so far it's proving a success all twenty two thousand five hundred online halloween tickets are already gone. good for that i'll have more business for you a little later in the show for now back to you krista thank you so much this is the day dubliners live from baghdad still to come in u.s. president donald trump flies to pittsburgh in the wake of america's worst ever unceasing music attacked by members of the city's jewish community say the president has stopes division in society and is not welcome. thank performance for the difference that tom bumps addled philharmonia orchestra of

some damaging state election results are going to start to is visibly waning how low can go to congress let my school cling go to college my guess is broke i'm sure that one of the most famous and infamous politicians in germany. conflict zone starts october thirty first time to be telling you. this is do doubly news live from there not top story of this our german chancellor angela merkel has met with encounter propped up l.c.c. in but then i spotted a fundraising drive for development in africa it was a chance goes first high profile appearance and she blows up stomping for. about a meeting with the compact for africa summits to christopher out of business just as more on the net is right fellow at this meeting the german chancellor urged the private sector to take

a closer look at what she called the continent's huge economic opportunities in order to boost business in african countries germany is that going to put one billion euros into an investment fund and hope that investment will curb illegal immigration to europa by creating jobs for young africans so far foreign investors have committed a total of two hundred forty three billion euros to the twelfth participating african countries. novel for more let's bring in jeremy gaze he's a consultant for business in west africa and runs the nigerian german energy partnership welcome jeremy the german government is pledging one billion euros for investment in africa is this what small and medium sized companies have been waiting for its most certainly a beginning christophe it's a very small beginning if we remember that the americans pledged three times that for electricity the indians have pledged exactly the same sum for solar power in

africa it's a small beginning but it marks a sea change for german government in taking africa seriously i believe now what the be a real game changer for german business presence in african countries i think what's important is for them to just realize what the opportunities in africa and how close africa is to their own front door steps africa is the closest continent to the opportunities that present precisely in education technical training aviation as i said power particularly renewable energies are immense and they have not yet been tapped by anybody why is that what what is your take on the why has have these potentials not been taken off of the. i think so far german companies have been risk averse to going to africa because we haven't had the mechanisms in place here yet to secure them or rather to give them

a sense of security africa and the main african economies have been stable for some time now and that hasn't yet been perceived here there are a dual taxation agreements in place there are profit transfer agreements in place the exchange rates tend to be fairly stable so the question is why haven't german companies already discovered africa for themselves at present only one point eight percent of our exports go to africa now the second largest country receiving exports from germany in africa is nigeria which is africa's largest economy it has two hundred million inhabitants eager to grow their economy yet in terms of german's exports that is only the sixty eight export ranking now the chinese companies have dramatically increase their foothold on the african country meant looking at the massive projects projects the chinese have been putting up are

germans too late to the party. no i think the party's only just about to begin chinese companies have traditionally been state supported and have been engaged in large scale infrastructure projects they're not the competitors of german assamese the german mechanical engineering and electronics expertise is not being challenged by the chinese the chinese are interested in large ticket projects often with a boxer element that secures china commodities germany doesn't want to look for commodities in africa germany should be looking to invest long term train africans and to build long stirrer really long term business relationships there to that end they must invest more term against consultant and member of the nigerian german energy partnership thank you for your thoughts thank you sir. now for years berliners have suffered the chaos from the construction site for the new capital

airport now mexicans have a similar problem the new government no longer wants the billion dollar airport and has decided to simply stop construction but the incumbent president says as long as he is still in power construction will go on. should they stay or should they go talk of a complete halt on construction in mexico city is causing widespread insecurity. this isn't a. yes it they've already made the decision to build. i don't know if it's a political whim or not when i was there but it's but all of us who work on the site think it's a real setback for the country. isn't it the us is a lot like that but. by the by. the airport will cost around twelve billion euros mexico's president elect andras hoper door who takes office at the beginning

of december complains that the project is too expensive and that orders are being distributed in a corrupt manner the left wing politician repeatedly railed against the project during the election campaign and instead advocated the expansion of an existing military airport at the beginning of the week us citizens vote initiated by obrador resulted in seventy percent of voters wanting construction to stop. why would not the citizens made a very good decision which we support because we are going to govern by obeying the people. i will not. go. but only one million people took part in the referendum and that's one of the reasons why the outgoing president enrique pena nieto doesn't accept the decision. of the current administration meaning from here to november thirtieth no modifications will be made to the construction of the airport project near look if you don't get

where you will it wouldn't work so the cranes on the site will remain in action for the time being at least until the new mexican government takes over. specter till now in the aftermath of the pittsburgh synagogue shooting. thank us president donald trump is due to travel to the city of pittsburgh later today to meet with community leaders following saturday's mass shooting eleven people were killed during sabbath services in the attack on the tree of life synagogue prosecutors are treating the incident as a hate crime charge want them out of the killings it is the worst instance of anti semitic province in recent u.s. history. but the president faces an easy welcome local residents on the wider online community have been urging him to stay away until he fully denounces white nationalism social media as a great. jerrod so tell us more that about this push the president's visit

jewish leaders in pittsburgh have created a petition online and so far it's been signed by around seventy five thousand people and what they're arguing is that because of trump's divisive rhetoric and the fact that he has been embraced by white nationalist contributed to what's happened in pittsburgh and two other incidences of violence around the country the petition was created by a left wing jewish group cold binde the ahc and they've got a list of demands which we can see here right president the violence against jews in pittsburgh is the direct culmination of your influence they say we demand you in the republican party fully denounce white nationalism stop targeting an endangered . cease your assaults on immigrants and refugees and commit yourself to compassionate democratic policies that recognize everyone's dignity other religious

leaders have said the fact that trump is visiting now when the funerals of taking place is distracting from remembering the dead and they wish that he'd wait until after they've been laid to rest but we do need to point out the rabbi of the synagogue where the shooting. place the tree of life synagogue his name is jeffrey my as he has said that trump is welcome to visit. this is that the worst instance of understeer violence in recent us history israel has been getting in on this you've been seeing your responses coming in from israel that's right so one thing that we've noticed is that the massacre is highlighting this divide between liberal jews and more orthodox ones and basically as soon as the massacre happened a lot of israeli leaders came out and said they were devastated they offered their condolences over the killing but one person who's come under a lot of fire is the chief rabbi of israel his name is david and that's because israel doesn't recognize non orthodox jewish denominations and because of that he

refused to explicitly say the place where this attack happened was a synagogue he refused to call it a synagogue and instead he called it a place with obvious jewish characteristics which a lot of people have taken him to task for people like dr. who's an academic from tel aviv university he tweeted the chief rabbi refuses to say it was a synagogue and this is where jews were killed while even according to the jewish laws this was the synagogue this is the face of the orthodox. rabbi allowed there the former ambassador to the u.s. michael oren had this to say he says the conservative jews of pittsburgh were sufficiently jewish to be killed because they were jews but then movement is not recognized by the jewish state he says israel must bolster these communities already challenge by assimilation by strengthening ties with them some pretty

strong statements out of israel another aspect to this is. basically how the rising anti semitism in the u.s. particularly this incident in pittsburgh has been fueled by rising heights on social media particularly networks like gap and we have more on our website which is d.w. dot com. now the clock is ticking towards the u.s. midterm elections and although as some have predicted a strong performance from the democrats supports the taking nothing for granted the party was shocked and splintered by president to tribes a victory over hillary clinton in twenty sixteen and many are asking what the democratic party stands for beyond its anti trump stance. if there is a blue wave coming from washington it might look something like this during back having also confirmation hearings from the u.s.

supreme court angry activists of all genders and colors turned up to protest in numbers this is a key strategy the democrats have been banking on make people show up and party leaders are pushing the message to restore democrats to office people especially women need to vote well just let women know in america that their voices do matter that their vote the votes matter and that what they do with their time between now and a vendor absolutely matters is how do you think democrats are going to do in the midterms are you optimistic i think they will win. many democrats agree with gillibrand assessment they think voters are motivated and of just enough show up the democrats will have an easy victory. people are really fired people are angry and people are going to vote i do hope so i think that there's a lot that needs to be done and i think hopefully this is mobilizing people to take some action i think that people need to get out. because the people are going to be the ones to change the tide. but it's a tale of two parties for everyone who's pushing voter turnout there are plenty

wondering exactly what they're turning out for and the democrat seats around together and actually put together proper candidates platforms that aren't just answer the democratic party is also have to change because what it has done so far hasn't kept a lot of it's also held. white men and women in power when it needs to also highlight more diverse voices and hold onto a status quo that's not going to cut it anymore because it doesn't include enough people. what do the democrats stand for this has been the question the party has been unable to answer since the last twenty sixteen presidential elections and while the kavanaugh confirmation hearings may have activated the democratic voting base it also riled up republicans the only thing that is sure the democrats cannot simply be the party of not trump. it's one thing to take advantage of the mood in parts of the country but analysts say that approach needs to be paired with a solid party platform professor jason mollica american university in washington

d.c. says that if democrats merely engage with trump style of politics they'll regret it they need to come up with a different strategy and i think if they end up losing and not gaining any seats or gaining one or two but the republicans still have power they're going to have to think about a different strategy going into the presidential election. and trump feeling in the country didn't succeed in this case brett kavanaugh was confirmed it was a strong message the democratic party needs to give americans a reason to vote for it beyond not liking donald trump is. so full the second round of the german cup but tonight features a classic david versus goliath match up look at a climb from day to use force welcome nick so we know that the smaller size can often cause big upsets in the german cup what can we look forward to tonight there are four games underway at the moment but the big games before it is by i mean it's

game in this stadium behind us and also brooke they're not playing off the book so they're playing a small team gooding house and we have a preview to look at right now. rooting housings cup dream continues they've already knocked out one huge opponent to normal to grazed in the first round and now they find themselves the center of attention once again this time every competitive captain down your throat not is determined to enjoy the occasion . and some special games like against dresden when you see the pictures it's a fantastic feeling during the game i find that bit tougher to enjoy but this time i'd like to actually try and soak up the atmosphere was it was also is all going to be nice. so it's and it doesn't mean however that they're just out for a casual pick about. is that you know what level on we're all athletes we all want to push ourselves the limits and see what we're capable of why shouldn't we try and win. to win why not indeed the stars might just

a line coach and rico marson certainly isn't ruling out the possibility. because we need to play the game of our lives and we need buy in to have an absolute disaster then we might just have the slimmest of chances. one problem for rooting hausen is to ground their home the heck a v and start your own is deemed too small to host a clash so it will be played in neutral neighboring brooke the home side of the us without their home advantage. still these players have a chance to continue writing history in the. community. can take you. so it's a romantic notion but really they're. absolutely not i mean they're all stacked against them to put this into perspective by munich squad is worth three hundred fifty times more than ratings house and essentially they could. put maybe we have to if

she and that's all they could afford it's such a tiny team but of course the cup is always there i don't see it happening today is going to be tough especially as the home we saw the stadium before playing on a number of. different surroundings is still going to be new for them especially playing against such a big team like by munich and if the nice thing about this for the cup and the fairytale story is that you see these kinds of games in one thousand nine hundred eighty four was the first year that teams of professional teams were allowed to play the big boys so to say and this is how you get games like this against critics and there is a pretense. of a much as are you looking forward to tonight therefore under way at the moment. i would have said dusseldorf against because they're fifty a team and just love to get has such a poor run and they needed to win nine seconds into that game. this is where it was where we go but the score there is currently four one for the loose they finally

have that win that they need they finally get to you know get in the confidence they need to go into this big boost the games of the weekend now the game to look at today of course is against. a second division team they could cause it definitely was not set against but if they play a tough game against by them to. thank you. now here's a statistic that will shock you the humans are killed sixty eight percent of all of dial sixty have killed off sixty percent of all vertebrate animals on the planet since nineteen seventy's like a massive shooting spree the world wildlife federation reached this conclusion and its latest report and described it as a mass extinction accelerated by global consumption and its victims include some of the earth's most impressive wildlife he was the last male of his species this northern white rhinoceros died in kenya in the spring now only two females remain it's one of the best known examples of recent species extinction the

world wildlife federation is report paints a bleak picture since nine hundred seventy there's been a sixty percent decline in the population of over sixteen thousand studied vertebrates that's mammals fish or birds but also. the threats from most animal groups include the loss of habitat such as the clearance of forest for the cultivation of palm oil or soya over use that means hunting fishing and those things and the contamination of habitat added to that climate change is no a big factor conservationists in germany are reporting at the klein in wild bees and butterflies the w w f says the use of pesticides in agriculture is to blame but it's not just politicians who have a duty of care. need to watch transformation we also need businesses and consumers it's always possible to choose products that you knew are ecologically better than in the case of

a northern watch rhino some hope remains alive researches have produced an embryo using artificial insemination but the breakthrough doesn't come back the cause of species extinction. from a concert last night in the elbe philharmonie and hamburgers given by the yes syrian ex-pat philharmonic orchestra which is made up of syrian opposition so who fled their homeland since the beginning of the civil war back. on this from the desk you're welcome robert and this is part of a whole series of events in hamburg on the subject of exile yeah this is a whole month it's called the days and the idea is to create sort of greater understanding about people who've had to have to flee into exile and also to

encourage dialogue between the locals and the new arrivals if you like and there are a number of sort of optimistic and cultural events taking place we all know that germany has had a sort of huge influx of refugees in recent years i mean in twenty ten were said to be about one hundred thousand syrians living in germany now it's approaching six hundred fifty thousand some of them are wonderful wonderful musicians and so let's find out more and him more of this music last night where they were playing syrian classical music different terminologies different harmonies to western is that they used. unfamiliar sounds at the el for the money the syrian export orchestra is playing music from the homeland.

all of the musicians live in exile in countries across europe they come together to play concerts many know each other from happier times in syria from music school band orchestra in damascus. a lady has been living in hamburg for three years she studied cello back in syria and is now pushing a second career as a dentist she looks forward to making music with her former colleagues from back home the ones on the fia targets and we meet about four days before a concert and then we rehearse intensively together. because sometimes i have time and sometimes i don't but i always try hard to arrange things so i can do it because it's such a joy to play with my friends and former colleagues again mackinnon. founded the orchestra three years ago his goal is to marry classical and traditional styles and to keep syrian music alive it's

a lot of organization for around six concerts a year. in the european union we don't need a visa and we can meet and the hours and concerts in the same time it's really cost a lot because you have to cover the travel calls from all over europe and into the concert hall and accommodation etc. they are hoping to attract funding and perhaps to get their own concert hall but the biggest dream is to play a concert back in their homeland syria. of peace. incidentally the old this song that's written down is of syrian origin they found a sort of tablet in the one nine hundred fifty s.

in the syrian sort of ancient city of god it and it had some sort of musical notation on it and this tablet is three thousand four hundred years old search considered the world's best man a day that this was a this whole concert series is on the subject of exile and the film money before the concert there was talk from the turkish journalist yeah there was he course was he was for a very brief time the editor of. which is the sort of left leaning turkish newspaper got into trouble with the authorities of an article he wrote in percent prison he got out of prison in twenty sixteen there was an attempt on his life is an assassination attempt on him and he left into exile and has been here in germany ever since he gave a talk in titles mental exile is more painful and before the concert we asked him

about the feelings of being in exile when you. have to leave your own country where you go you are still a foreigner and. so in the end you don't have a place you don't have a country except writing your books except your language except your ideas. so the literature. has become your new country. if. a day's events they days of exile initiative continues yet continues to the middle of november and including thing that interest me there's a jam session between east and west musicians that should be fun but lots of things going on in hamburg has to do with more on websites they really do have the dot com slash culture rather than metal as we thank you. that's a chill up today it's more at the top of a tower with
