an anti russian exercise but is the alliance really ready for a twenty first century conflict. plus it's a one hundred eighty two meters high in the new tallest statue in the world but india's three hundred fifty million euro statue of unity has so far been anything but a symbol of togetherness a look at the controversy surrounding its inauguration. and you have to honduras to find out why so many people there fear for their lives and are fleeing for the u.s. that's despite president trump tightening america southern border. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us a court in pakistan has freed a christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy i see a baby was condemned to hand in two thousand and ten for insulting islam as prophet mohammed now since a ruling thousands of islamist activists have blocked roads and ransacked

government property in protest and one hardline group called for death to the judges who overturned the sentence. she has spent most of the past eight years in a prison cell in solitary confinement. bibi has always maintained her innocence the christian farm worker and mother of two was convicted in two thousand and ten of blasphemy she was accused of insulting the prophet mohammed after muslim women from her village objected to her drinking water from their shared class because she was christian bibi then became the first woman to be sentenced to death by hanging under pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws but now pakistan's highest court has decided to overturn the verdict and said b.b. the ruling was immediately met with angry protests by hard line islamists. the only punishment for a blasphemer is beheading they sound and we won't obey this oppression.

the leaders of one islamist party have even called for the death of the judges who ruled in favor of us and bebe's release. her story began in a rural pakistani village but what started here has stirred intense emotions around the world. in the past islamists have murdered some of those who spoke out in her favor. today's reactions show that their anger has diminished a little since her arrest nearly ten years ago. and we can talk to harris colleague a human rights activists is joining us from islamabad hi harris now activists like yourself have been fighting for this for years since as it was originally sentenced in two thousand and ten this must have been very welcome news for you today. yes it

is and i think the judgment itself is quite heavily treed i mean it it points out to a different a mental flaws in interpreting the law that exists and also the use of that law to settle the law political schools do you think international pressure played a role. i think it is not entirely the international pressure i mean i can be going on with. you know of elcom and we always do welcome you know people who speak in solidarity because some of these issues off east you know have to be seen as issues faced by not a particular community but humanity at large but i think there's a lot of nobody has ever been charged by any pakistani court. in the last so many years after you know in many cases hundreds of cases thousands of cases have been

fight against individuals most of whom muslims ironically and so you know this was in fact if you speak to expose me in law legal experts it would confirm dead this was. you know an expected judgment from from the most superior court so it's a significant ruling but do you see it as any indication that we might see any movement on this blasphemy law that exists and pakistan. i think you have awesome and relevant and a very important question because i do not toward people who have taken to the streets today responsible for what has happened in you know and who's responsible for radicalizing the society i think the state has a cascading effect on a society and this state has being go on to the boss by some seriously the right thing conservative bigots and and if you don't look at the criminal procedure courts and biased on and. you know constitution provisions that have been

introduced by general hoc during his dictatorial regime. you can see that it had an effect on radicalizing society so i think it is the parliament the subsequent parliaments of the general who are responsible for not. you know not creating not amending. the laws and world so we're not creating an atmosphere and open debate and dialogue is possible on how to improve some of the some of the in our constitution and in our you know our no books all right harris clique of human rights activists that joining us from islamabad thank you so much for your insights today. and. so now to some other stories making headlines around the world two years after he fled south sudan rebel leader requests shar has returned to celebrate a peace deal with his longtime rival president salva kiir the world's youngest

nation was plunged into civil war in two thousand and thirteen when care sacked much are from the post of vice president there's been a string of failed ceasefires and deals that sense that. officials in indonesia say they have detected pings believed to be from the black box of the ill fated lion airplane divers in the java sea are searching for the device which contains both the voice cockpit report recorder and flight data recorder the aircraft crashed just minutes after takeoff on monday all one hundred eighty nine people on board up or soon to be dead. a teenager has died after apparently blowing himself up at russia's intelligence agency it happened at the entrance to the federal security service and i hung gifts in northern russia three staff were injured at the attack which is being treated as terrorism was reportedly carried out by a seventeen year old. right guard is here with business now and a revolutionary currency celebrates a big milestone today that's right sumi today's the tenth anniversary of bitcoin

sounded at the outset of the great recession the cryptocurrency was supposed to usher in a digital revolution in payments and just about a year ago its prize truly took off like a rocket before coming back to earth in spectacular fashion burning a lot of the best show on reentry into the real world today as much hope as that's hard about bitcoin. in the heart of moscow there's a small and conspicuous shop it may look normal but inside it's a different world the world of bitcoin. there are a fake chocolate bitcoins as well as virtual bitcoins on servers for many of the crypto currency remains a great mystery even though russia produces more bitcoins than almost any other country. chick because of the good it yeah actually customers come to us and say i want. but i don't know what it is and here like in an apple store we explain to

them that it's possible to make bitcoins on these machines but they're told that they can buy it or equip themselves to make it anywhere. and i feel like. the crypto currency is created in heavily guarded block chain data centers like this one in st petersburg bitcoins are bought and sold and the transactions are recorded here currently there are more than seventeen million bitcoins in circulation each worth more than six thousand dollars at the end of last year the currency was booming its value rocketed to almost twenty thousand dollars before collapsing even after a decade in circulation the big point is still not a mainstream currency even though many say it's just as secure block chain technology allows highly encrypted transactions to be carried out and recorded more than a bit more than you can believe it or not but from an economic point of view think companies and for individuals virtual currency is a much more effective than any change that country's economy is now depend on

economic data. but the cryptocurrency is not one hundred percent secure hackers have stolen large sums a bit points in several countries authorities often warn consumers about what's called crypto jacking and that has weighed on bitcoins reputation and value. very often. those who have invested in big con don't really know works it really is all a bit complicated but you don't need to understand how a nuclear power station works before you can switch on the lights at home so or potential does bitcoin heard of actual business purposes let's ask ben laker he's a crypto currency expert and joins us from the henley business school in reading near london ben let's talk a bit corny an everyday business one one of the applications. well it's a certainly a very interesting area and i think at the moment you see lots of bitcoin if you see asked who are checking accounts the prices whether it's going up or where it's

going down and actually if that type of behavior continues it will never become mainstream it will never be used as applications within business it is effectively a commodity which is trade on the open market that being said the technology that lies beneath the cryptocurrency which is of course block that is where businesses should be focusing their resources their attention and that is has the beneficial aspect of creating technology to essentially change the way that consumers behave by selling fact live. you spoke of a big coin as an investment is it is it a wise investment what is realistic what is. it's certainly not wise as an investment and i'm a university professor i'm not here to give investment advice but on this point i would say absolutely no it is a bubble like many other problems but of course the reason for that is because not many people truly understand it's nature and actually

a lot of people are trying to use the cryptocurrency to to get rich quick we've seen bubbles in the past we saw the dot com bubble perhaps one of the most famous of all was the dutch chool it bubble many hundreds of years ago and like bitcoin that also but first but because the bubble will burst it will however leave a significant legacy that being brought shame. shame there's still big question marks over securities of cryptocurrency how secure is the underlying technology box . well as a piece of pure technology it is on hackable and of course it creates huge advantage is compared to what we have today so for example if we were looking at a financial implications a usage of block change every transaction that has occurred historically is recorded so for example if you were to take out a pound or a year of your pocket today within the block chain you to be able to identify how

it is passed hands what transactions it's been part of so as a purely piece of technology it stands to reason that it's very advantageous the problems of course is we the users we humans we forget our passwords we forget our usernames sometimes i leave my laptop open and people can log in and then access the database is around currencies and block change so until there is additional technology to actually protect the usage of block chain we're not in a position to say it's purely purely reasonable for businesses to invest heavily within it as many technology is not really safe in human hands and you very much. from the elitism. siemens will invest six hundred million euros in an innovation center in berlin it's called future campus and aspires to become the german silicon valley it will include research laboratories high tech production facilities offices and housing siemens has engaged startup companies to take part along with

scientists in the conceptualisation of the compass project for berlin it is the largest single investment industrial company has made since the end of world war two so it is in asia and the u.s. we're also interested in hosting the innovation center. as bringing down the open front for turning a google just abandon plans for an old start its own startup campus in berlin why is siemens not trying it yes you're right google stopped their plans in berlin because they were frustrated about the protests of against the project and talking about zemin i have to admit that was smiling a little bit when i was hearing about this first because frankly speaking the men's is poorly known here in germany and also around the world for very high quality products but not really known to be extremely innovative so how is this important for zemin it is certainly also for germany because being

a role model when it comes to digitalisation is going to be one of the key factors also for long existing companies why your card is just another example at the moment they are that successful they even kick ass banks germany second biggest lender out of the bullshit next tax than the goldman frankfurt thank you. and that's all your business is spock's assuming the major war games in europe thank you well this week nato is holding its biggest military maneuver since the end of the cold war the aim is to simulate an attack on a member state by an aggressor now this complex war game is called trident juncture all twenty nine nato countries are taking part plus of finland and sweden as well the exercises are being held in norway the north atlantic and also in the baltic sea their location is being seen as a signal to russia with relations still tense over moscow's annexation of crimea in two thousand and fourteen it has taken months to get everything in position there

are no fewer than a fifty thousand combat troops and support personnel two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five ships and also ten thousand military vehicles russia is calling the world game and anti russian exercise. is with the troops and tanks and sent us this report. why. i know. blowing up obstacles. and building bridges in just a few minutes two capabilities that the german army is bringing to try to juncture . but i v's old school skills still needed in times of hybrid warfare and cyber attacks as a result after the ukraine crisis we saw that it is more important to change back from stability operations to hire tens of thousands of what we see and as an interest to move larger formations and heavy equipment that's had not been trained

and done with within the last ten years far from the russian border germany has set up its operational headquarters in the norwegian into lands together with troops from france the netherlands belgium and. germany alone has brought ten thousand soldiers up here to norway and tanks weapons and other supplies it's a massive logistical challenge designed to improve the speech with which nato members could in a worst case scenario come to each other's rescue. the huge influx of people and equipment more than fifty thousand soldiers from thirty one countries is a true test for the host nation norway. but the attitude among the public is there really positive support for nato here is among the highest of all member states and not just because no way shares a border with russia they're not so afraid that it will be a war or nothing but that's a lot of things happening in the world so you never know how so nato is important

for us of course well i believe russia has become a big threat in the last two years and i wouldn't need new we need to show where our power your best war in the world and i know i could be part of it but it's not like it's something i think about but some of nato is tested. passage to spark the population. remote controlled weapon systems. self driving your coats. military drones. so is this the future of the workfare all those capabilities have to be reversible it means that. the forces can rely on this capability and have have to know how to do without those capabilities because. the system can be jammed all destroyed or taken. by someone else so the military have to remain

reversible. and that's why the airlines are still banking on tanks and boots on the ground battling daunting logistics and the elements here in the frigid no we gen climate. and we have stopped going with us she says security analyst specializing in russia for the german council on foreign relations here in berlin sara thanks for being with us and we've heard nato say these are defensive measures this is not the cold war russia on the other hand is saying these are anti russian measures that are being taken this exercise destro who's right so in fact nato is training exercising for a case of article five so for an attack of on one of the nato members so it's in fact a defensive scenario but if we when we take a look at where says taking place and if we also take a look at the political environment it's clear that one of those triggers who is perceived as who could trigger that that article five is in fact russia one of those triggers being russia what about the timing why are we seeing this now

actually in military exercises are something that we see every year and it's quite usual race we saw a big russian exercise this year we saw last year also nato was training regularly so it's not about time it's rather about the military forces. the armed forces training their integrated approach and coming together trying to find out how a new weapon system functions how integrated command and control and multinational corpse do function in fact russia doesn't see this is just a training as we said they're also going to be testing navy missiles off the court coast of norway are we seeing a real escalation here no so the washington russian military forces are well aware that this is quite usual training as russian the russians do themself that's where the question question of public public awareness also of russian politicians using those exercises for putting through their narrative that nato is aggressing or probably catering russia so what is

a much more what is what is bigger danger to security are in fact unintended escalations we saw some incidents over the last year where for example russian aircrafts are approaching us naval missiles and as these are not observed not controlled not reported that is much more much more dangerous than in fact those bigger exercises who are well reported and where we even have russian military observers invited to those exercises i mean what we're seeing nato secretary general and russia's ambassador to nato meeting what are you expecting to come out of that. so there will they will rather talk about other subjects for it like mainly the i.n.f. treaty which is on a question right now by trump but also other cyber attacks by russia on nato members though that's what they're going to talk about the current situation talking is probably the only objective pass really an outcome or a progressive stuff or it is not on site just briefly star do you see any prospect

of long term for destabilization between sorry the escalating the tensions rather between russia and nato here it depends a bit on how big the ject if so few talk about mid-term steps like upholding arms control of finding new. ways for arms control maybe also strengthening common common documents like the vienna document to which is in fact responsible for for observing and controlling these bigger military exercises then i think yes and that's something that should happen right now because exactly those measurements are and are created for crisis if we talk about more fundamental approach to european security arch architecture that is definitely bound to the ukrainian crisis and that is only for long term for long term toss all right sarah palin from the german council on foreign relations thank you very much. now india has unveiled the world's tallest statue prime minister narendra modi

inaugurated the monument in a ceremony honoring sardar patel who is credited with uniting india after independence from britain in one thousand nine hundred seven but locals are angry at the high cost of the statue and the damage to the environment. but when they got on with pump and tight security india's prime minister narendra modi inaugurated the statue of unity. one hundred eighty two meter tall bronze clad towering over western culture out state. india's iron man sardar patel was the country's first deputy prime minister after india gained independence in one thousand nine hundred seventy patel played a key role in bringing the country states together. twenty odd years that they were deep but the my brothers and sisters who knew this the world's tallest statute will keep on reminding the whole world and our future generations about the person's

courage capability and resolve. to be not be that. this so-called symbol of unification was nearly four years in the making now it's unveiling is being overshadowed by protests and accusations of political point scoring the statue is part of the hindu nationalist parties effort to rebrand what it calls forgotten leaders but their critics see this as an effort to appropriate a national hero figure ahead of next year's national election. the four hundred million dollars project has uprooted many residents one hundred eighty five families most of them belonging to local tribes were forced to leave their homes. ahead of the inauguration local chiefs called for modi to stay away and there are reports of activist leaders who have been detained. and despite protests

authorities hope the site will be a popular tourist attraction in this remote corner of india. and they are rushing to ensure the area has enough hotels restaurants and other infrastructure to cope with the anticipated rush. they'd obviously an essential as well isn't delhi following the story for us what's been happening today have there been more protests. well there have not been any process because they have been successfully stalked because of the deployment of thousands of police personnel now of course the venue of the inauguration had a lot of high profile leaders including the prime minister nouri and more of the but this is not to say that there were no protests coming in from tribal and follow groups who say that this instead of the four hundred million us dollars spent on this project three thousand killed or injured groupings they should have been had for problems they have been complaining about the have eleven years of pasta farmer

view was as valid as tribal issues they also say that the quality of the area is being harmed the statue is very close to the level of the dam project that is very controversial because of displacing displacing people as well as hurting the ecology so misha despite those protests why was it important then for the indian government to build this huge statue to understand that for tell while the protesters would course say that it was not important to build a statue of bob the significance of socrates of the government is talking about is how he was a united of india the statue was actually the core of the statue of going to do this also run for unity to inaugurate his birthday said i love it but david it's considered one of the founding fathers of india because he actually brought together the indian state once the british withdrew they not he not only brought together the provinces which were under the new tool but there were many self-governing princely states he opposed over five hundred prints to states to convince them to join the optical for india which is why he is credited as

a very important national figure. we saw the prime minister the inaugurated this monument why was it important for him to do so. well despite the fact that saddam is a founding father the political party behind prime minister more the has asserted that he is a forgotten figure it's also worth noting that's about the day of belong to the indian national congress which is actually in the opposition right now and prime ministers the prime minister more because move to inaugurate this massive statue seen as an effort to appropriate not only this national figure but actually a figure that is associated with the congress party this is of course the run up to the general elections off twenty nine thousand that are going to be crucial in india from the someone who would be making a bid to extend his favorite and you would have as prime minister to a tenet of daniel daniel and he hopes that a statue like this many critics an expert see is going to shore that much lights about but there he can also unify india and bring it to development right of usenet

should just well for us in delhi thank you very much. you're watching news still to come south korean women push back at the country's stifling beauty standards a look at the influencers the ditching powder for power. that's right more coming up in the next thirty minutes. he brags to do. to fight convention shocks the bush was. a gun she that was good that's. his cool shits of needs made the pains and draftsmen the old farts of eve the of us in society in the early twentieth century . mocking one hundred years since the death of a gumshield. in the forty five minutes on the double. movement

social media under the hash tag cast off the course that many women in south korea say the beauty goals that dominate their society have become too on realistic and normalized and they are calling for change. and we have our social media editor jared weed with us to tell us more about this story hi jared talk to us about the beauty standards in south korea what are we talking about here we've all heard of k. pop korean pop which is amazing but there's another phenomenon cold cave you see or korean beauty in this is an industry worth billions around the world and it creates thousands of products primarily designed to look and to look younger as well and the other thing that sets south korea apart from the rest of the world is the fact that apparently it's the world's capital for plastic surgery apparently a third of young women have gone under the knife in some form or other and that's for a lot of reasons but primarily because plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is viewed

with less of a stigma as it might be elsewhere and that's why a lot of young women do it because it's seen as a way to improve your social status and also improve things like job opportunities but now we're seeing a backlash against the standards that's right a lot of women is saying will be beauty standards on a timetable and in some cases quite literally taking a sledgehammer to their makeup and posting the videos to instagram as we can see here. using their cosmetics also to spill out the korean hash tag for feminist and cost off the course of and their likening makeup to call search because they feel constrained one woman wrote to instagram i don't want these gobby in my life anymore i want to display my natural appearance i'm throwing the course it away from now on i'll be a dignified woman hash tag cost off the course now of course the conversation around unrealistic beauty standards is something that is just been going on for

such a long time it's an ongoing conversation and one that is good to have but a lot of women are saying it goes beyond that there's a lot of practical reasons to this spending so much money on products because they're expensive and also this you could. taking hours to get ready every day in order to leave the front door it's not just about makeup talk about the other trends that's right so the movement as a whole encourages people to look beyond beauty and to also focus on comfort as well as going makeup free people also cutting their hair they're wearing glasses instead of contacts they're wearing comfortable clothing and underwear and they're challenging on one hand the sexual objectification of women and also being subordinate to men this patriarchal society in south korea one woman writes hiya taking action is one hundred times more powerful than words i used to cover my face with my hair i used to wear colored lenses to the point that i can jump divide is

only wore skirts so that my thighs would ensure i hated my eyelids cost of the courses now this is coming generally as the part of the me too movement in south korea which has also taken hold across the world and of course we've been covering about a lot here in georgia bella and there's more on our website which is the w dot com all right cast off the course and south korea thank you so much jared leto social media editor. millions of americans are gearing up to vote in crucial midterm elections authorities there are a stepping up cyber security awareness tries after since the u.s. intelligence community concluded that russia interfered in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election officials on the ground have been on high alert to prevent dissent from asian campaigns and voting systems being compromised our correspondent seven simons has this report. national museum of american history in washington is housing an exhibition called american democracy showcasing

objects in artifacts used in u.s. elections through time it's gaining popularity with visitors these days as many americans are not so sure anymore that their vote is safe from tampering unmanipulated and to alice miller executive director of the washington d.c. board of elections mr miller is ultimately responsible for the election process in the district of columbia for miller and her team that means long days filled with plenty of overtime hours focusing on one thing and one thing we want to make sure our systems are secure we want to make sure poll workers are trained no and see test protecting the upcoming midterm elections from any form of cyber interference has been declared a national security issue the white house and congress across party lines are on the same page no one wants a repeat of what happened in the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections when so-called russian government cyber actors managed to gain access to u.s.

election infrastructure i'm here to say the warning lights are brick can read again . today the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack congress approved three hundred eighty million dollars in march this year for all fifty states to share so they can beef up cyber security measures look the u.s. department of homeland security has formed special task forces and offer services to state officials responsible for the cyber safe conduct of the november elections alice miller is thankful for the help and we work very closely with us we have homeland security advisers liaison each level we have cyber security advisors that we work with we have smaller groups within our own network that we work with we always cool. with each other however some critics say all of this is a step in the right direction but comes too late case in point this year's defcon

in las vegas nevada conference for what are known as white head hackers also focused on election cyber security the def-con hackers fighting the good fight in the cyber security battles have released the report pointing out remaining vulnerabilities that are unlikely to be fixed before november sixth one example the type of voting machine currently in use in twenty six states is vulnerable to remote hacking and another machine still used in eighteen states was able to be hacked in just two minutes maybe not for alice miller and her team but for many u.s. states making voting safe again remains a major challenge. now the trumpet ministration has announced that it will send more than five thousand troops to shore up the u.s. mexican border as a convoy of central american migrants travels north the procession made up of thousands of central americans seeking a better life in the u.s. has been on the road for more than two weeks they have been crossing rivers

sleeping at the side of the road relying on food and water handouts along the way the group is currently in mexico about sixteen hundred kilometers away from the u.s. border if donald trump's plan is put into action they will encounter about as many troops as are currently stationed in iraq and syria combined many of the migrants started their journeys in one dollar us a country that's plagued by poverty sexual violence and gang brutality. traveled to the capital to go see culpa to hear from those fleeing their homes. every friday armed gangs forced these young barbers to cut their hair on one occasion they were caught up in a shootout with police the barbers close their cell and to escape but lived in constant fear for their lives that's why they decided to abandon their homes and set off for the united states. goofy and they.

had to go to the gang members to cut their hair. but i couldn't keep doing it out of fear. i said i spoke about it with my cousin and we decided to flee. and i was more afraid and just want to work in peace. as well as violence economic problems are pushing people to migrate almost three quarters of all hundred and live in poverty according to some estimates and more than half of the self employed there live in extreme poverty. who can do and i'm your partner we are searching for a better homeland and opportunities to work where we want to move our families forward people cannot bear the situation any longer the crisis has been getting worse for years and it's happening because of the political situation that's why people are fleeing now they have nothing to eat. but by i'm supporting these

migrants they're fleeing because there's no work here how can donald trump treat them as murderous. no poverty and hundred us is on the right even though the government has invested more in social programs. this woman has tried seven times to reach the united states only once did she make it across the border only to be deported but her situation is so desperate that she plans to try again. your work i just can't go on like this even if i could find a job i wouldn't earn enough to support. the babies just to love me i have three children who need to be fed. on her last journey she was fleeing an abusive husband she took her three children on the arduous trip they suffered hunger and illness

eventually they were arrested by mexican authorities and deported. this is that it by two and i reported it to the police and sought protection in mexico as they fled with my three children he notified the migration authorities and we spent eight months in detention. women suffer other types of violence they are victims of domestic and sexual abuse and are threatened by gangs who try to recruit their children. that's why twenty percent more women than men are fleeing honduras according to a migration expert. city lives. they are pressured into prostitution or are forced to live with people who are involved in organized crime i mean. it's a symptom of the vulnerability of women. migrants or refugees it's hard to draw a line in

a country where desperation and danger go together for them escape seems the only option. time to talk football of a second round of the german cup is underway we have tom dinoire from good of you sports with us hi tom so is byron munich against clothing house and this was a real david versus goliath match up it was a go well. this one less than in fact a clean our rooting house and play in the fourth division. and they're essentially a semi professional club and by munich of course we're talking about the most highly paid highly decorated stars in german football they didn't make it look as easy as they perhaps wish they had done we've got report and we can take a look in to see for ourselves how the game one. fire munich needed to avoid a cup stumble against a fourth tier side and they could breathe easy in the eighth minutes some nice work from ref in yeah and renata sanchez and sancho wagner tapped into make it one nil.

and just minutes later sanchez had a shirt and the ref pointed to the spot. converting to make it to nil. ten minutes later another penalty this time sanchez stepped up but he hit the woodwork. putting housing came out swinging after the break and they hit the net. kelvin longo with the cross leanest mio with the finish after that both teams were playing it safe for include barely missing the chance to seal the victory in the seventy fifth minute a lackluster two one win put speier in through to the next round and it leaves tiago injured. tom biron didn't look all that convincing no not really now you know they had a bit of a crisis at the end of september and also arguably in early october they had two consecutive defeats in the bundesliga they could be said to kind of have come out

of that now this was their fourth win in a row in all competitions but they've never really looked all that convincing against aka athens it was a fairly underwhelming before months they ground out results against mines in the bundesliga and yesterday as well was a fairly underwhelming performance they have been of course getting the results which is the most important thing but i think the biggest test really in about week in a hostile and they going to be playing against bruce your dog and who offline very high at the top of the boom is needed at the moment so that's when we really see whether by and you know go away it takes to win the wins because you're speaking of dortmund there in action against berlin tonight how do you see that one going. bruce you don't win like i said are in fantastic four men top of the women's league they thrashed atletico madrid of course in the champions league and they're still undefeated in all competitions but so are you in delhi now this is actually a repeat of a fixture from the second round of the cup two years ago that's all in the game and did level off to extra time and went to penalties is of course a very different league aside at the moment that we're seeing at the moment they

elsewhere. complaining it's live accusing and lots of facing hoffenheim those are both clashes between the opponents definitely going to see some quality football there but i think the most interesting is vice friends both part of me against better brain and now friends who are now the last. outside the professional leagues in germany to be remaining in the cup so if anybody is really hoping for a big upset wants to see a fairytale go all the way and friends both lost hope so that's one to watch all right tom going to sports thank you tom. you're watching news still to come how we wouldn't be halloween without a new how we movie will be taking a look at how the pagan festival is being celebrated around the world. has begun issuing a new tourism the bull allow cubans to travel to the central american country as private citizens without a visa and buy goods it's

a very tangible symbol of the strength some commercial ties between the two countries panamanian president juan carlos for raila introduced a new measure last week making it easier for cubans to travel to and buy goods in panama provided they can prove that they have ties to a private business in cuba currently there are some five hundred ninety two thousand cuban workers in the private sector. we feel that the tourism card will strengthen the economic opening that you're seeing in cuba and permit following the country's rules and respecting the country's regulations and all their systems it will make visits to panama easier because many cubans are traveling they travel to other countries they return to their country and they're setting up their own businesses they're moving forward and this facilitates the process. if i think that it is a process of the tourism card comes at a time when cuba is seeking more international investment and credit due to

fear and danger in a safe environment this is what the psychologists say anyway the original halloween movie from this character michael meyers who is the embodiment of evil was no reason for him to do all these or horrible murders but he did it and that's what made it i think the cult classic meanwhile they've been eleven how do we movies but this new movie is very much the sequel and it also stars jamie lee curtis forty years on as laurie streisand. he's missed everything here. he's back how in serial killer michael meyers is one of the most terrifying characters ever created for the horror genre. i knew i was going to say yes. on page like for.

mask intends to celebrate halloween in an all too familiar fashion. if you haven't experienced michael meyers before you are in for a shock. and cinema goes a once again to pay good money to be scared out of their wits. me. like that ok that's how in the movie where does the tradition of halloween come from well we know it really from america but actually it comes ridgeley sort of said to be about two thousand years a pagan ritual celtic thing from about two thousand years ago and the thing was ghosts came back and people put masks then so the ghost didn't recognise them.

read about anyway and when the first halloween movie actually came out in nine hundred seventy eight here in europe we didn't know about the how to wean festival as such anyway let's look at the law it's a side of. resistance here is very is becoming credibly international this is pictures from a zoo actually in thailand and the kids are all getting made up there and dressed up in scary costumes and feeding the city with sort of painted pumpkins and the like which is a very interesting version on trick or treating trick or treating as you know is you go around your local neighborhood as a kid in a scary costume and you know the door and say can i have a tree and the kids get loads of sweets on the whole and they don't do tricks the only problem with that is they get all sugared up and on the thirty first of october tell their parents can't get them to sleep because of all the sugar and also because of wearing the scary make up or let you know the secret the adults eat

that candy as well not just for kids that are. good as you have found of the hollowing movie i have to be honest i'm not what i am a fan on is the music in these movies in horror movies generally it's a real tension and then this series of movies particularly the first movie was directed by john carpenter who wrote the music it's him doing the music again in this movie and i just heard in an interview in stanley john carpenter and jamie they've cut is have this did it did they did that this sort of horrible music as they ring tone on the mobile phone. all right they enjoyed the music as well so the movie is out now in germany as well yeah it's number one in the box office here in germany it's continues to be number one know the box office in america it is making piles of money in hollywood because it only cost ten million to make which is no money into already right people like to be scared that certainly want to catch at
