[000:00:00;00] place to play. this is you know we do is live from berlin we stopped at the blue wave donald trump says his campaigning prevented big gains for the democrats in the u.s. midterms history really we'll see what a good job we did in the final couple of which in terms of getting some tremendous

people over the finish line they really are tremendous people republicans lost the house but they managed to increase their majority in the senate so what does this mixed message mean for the second half of trump's presidency. also coming up relief for families and cameras dozens of kidnapped children who were held hostage have been liberated and freed up by their kidnappers will get the latest from our correspondents in the region plus i'm going michael's handpick so it's surface really enters the race to replace the transport as head of the party but will she be able to fend off the other two leading contenders for this country's top job and in champions league football by munich are trying to secure their spot in the last sixteen after some poor recent performances i don't dare fire code should nico colebatch is in need of

a win will preview the match for you. are an odd. way of iraq thank you so much for your company everyone. u.s. president donald trump says the republicans have defied history in the midterm elections the president has given his first news conference since the vote took place and he was clearly in a buoyant mood history said we'll see what a good job we did adding his vigorous campaigning had stopped the blue wave that democrats had hoped for now the democrats have taken control of the house of representatives but republicans have actually expanded their majority in the senate this election marks the largest senate gains were a president's party in a first midterm election since at least president kennedy's in one thousand nine

hundred sixty two there are of been only four midterm elections since one thousand and thirty four in which a president's party has gained even a single senate seat as of now we picked up it looks like three could be four perhaps it could be two but we picked up a lot. of be president there now the president warned democrats not to go after him and his administration and now that they have the power to request subpoenas but his speech was mostly conciliatory he said he looks forward to working with the democrats he also gave special praise to democrat nancy pelosi and said she deserved to be the house speaker take a listen and also to. perhaps looks like i would think speaker nancy pelosi. and i give her a lot of credit she works very hard and she's worked long and hard i give her

a great deal of credit for what she's done and what she's accomplished hopefully we can all work together next year to continue delivering for the american people including on economic growth infrastructure trade lowering the cost of prescription drugs are some of the things that the democrats do want to work on and i really believe will be able to do that i think we're going to have a. lot of a lot of reason to. the president speaking there just moments ago well let's get you some more reaction on the trump speech outside the white house is our washington bureau chief alexandra fine naaman alexander oh what a difference a day makes what's your biggest take away from the term speech. well i have to say that we saw today during this press conference at the fire and donald trump a president who refused to acknowledge that the midterm election results are

a major setback for him as president and for his party we saw a president who was bragging about his role in this midterm elections who was indicated that he deserves all the credit for them and chaining of the republican control of the senate he was smoking republican candidates who indicated that they did lose their races because they didn't a brace him so it was basically older votes donald trump. now so president on providing a large especially i think when he was advocating for a bipartisan ship it was conciliatory but he did have a testy exchange with c.n.n. reporter let's take a listen and then we'll pick it up at the other end of it. because of your i very rude person the way you treat sarah huckabee is horrible and the way you treat

other people are horrible you shouldn't treat people that way. but when you when you report fake there's no when you report fake news which c.n.n. does a lot you are the enemy of the people go ahead mr president. what i wonder here alexander is that these types of exchanges do they undermine any attempt on the side of president donald trump to strike a more measured tone. yes i would say so and despite his promises now to put partisanship aside to work together with the turmoil crowds the fact that he is playing the media what he is calling a hostile media coverage for the loss of the house is rather telling he is blaming the media he was very angry during this press conference talking trip

daughters he even told some reporters to sit down not to ask a question so he was sometimes even very rude and that is very telling because it's an indication to me at least that he is angry and knowing that he is today not the way in control not the way he was yesterday. all xander i just wonder i mean we saw promp ter trump a son describe it today moments ago are we dealing with a weaker or more emboldened president. well definitely we can say definitely that he doesn't seem to see any reason to correct his corps however as you said he was trying to reach out to the democrats stressing that he is ready to work to go over on certain issue on

areas where they can find common ground on the infrastructure for example on health care so these are areas where there can be a compromise phone between the democrats and the republicans however i have to. i have been reporting on this president since his inauguration and i know that there were a number of occasions were democrats and republicans were about to be close to a compromise but it was the president he didn't seem to like it so i'm a bit skeptical expect kept ical webre his message of you know unifying the country and putting partisanship aside it's really the message that he can push through with we will find out soon enough the nominee thank you so much for your continued coverage since you. are now let's take

a look at the year greg down those results for you here's where things stand in the house of representatives two hundred eighteen seats are needed to take control and as you see here democrats have already surpassed that goal and still there are some races that need to be called and here's how the senate is looking the later shading there representing the seats there were not up for grabs for election and on top of that the night's results of republicans now at fifty one seats which means they have defended their majority there. all right i want to welcome now timothy hannigan he is the chair of fairfax county republicans which is only which is the only organization i should say dedicated exclusively to organizing and administering administering the day to day grassroots operations for the republican party in fairfax county virginia

a very good evening sir did the blue wave reach your state. well it did a little bit. just so the audience all knows fairfax county is right across the river from washington d.c. where a suburb and i think that. there's no questions republicans had a more difficult time in the suburban areas across the country not just in washington d.c. and i think the reason for that is because those suburbs for the most part are prosperous under claves and the united states and did not experience the downturn in the economy when president obama was. presiding and did not quite experience the upturn so they've been relatively free of kind of the difficult times that other people in the united states of experience therefore the appeal of a change agent

a disruptor like donald trump is not as strong and i wasn't the republicans have to do in those areas and not as appealing and the republicans have to take the message that their message of the message that president trump has been pushing which is lower taxation lower regulations better public safety better justices who are going to. administer according to the constitution and not by you know not try to legislate from the bench and apply that to local circumstances in the suburb i'm just going to jump right in there because i want to make the most of our time together. but you see all of that but mr terms hands are tied now i mean some are describing it as shackled because the house is now in democrats' hands so what do you think the republicans need to do ahead of the twenty twenty

presidential elections. well i think the republicans have to stick to the principles that make the republican party and try to negotiate you and go sheriff actively under was not democrats but under tom there are unable to do that well i think president trump is as he's put it and he just most regis put it in his most recent press press conference he's a deal maker he knows how to get things done. depending on who he's dealing with and in this particular case he now has a democrat house that he's going to have to contend with and he hasn't had that so let's just see how he goes about doing that he's been effective in dealing with opponents and business for years if you've read his book and know something about his background and i think you'll continue to bethwaite that's the real the real potential problem that could arise is the democrats overreaching as they did during

the cavanagh hearings and i think this that will play to the republicans advantage in closing i have twenty second still left with you that is so much bad blood though so i mean how do you really see them now forming a bipartisan government at this stage. i think there will be some certain issues the answer is yes others it won't be and i think president trump is a master dealmaker and i think the republicans will figure out where they can cooperate with the democrats and where they can't and i think that that's how the government is going to be and by the way that it that type of condition is existed with the united states government for the better part of our two hundred fifty years of wealth find out this is all right we'll find out soon enough great to have your answer to meet the hannigan that stamina fairfax county a republican said good day to you. yes ma'am thank you.

ari and i've got helen out here with me and you're you have more on the midterms but then from the business angle absolutely because investor is a very well aware that in light of this result they could have to brace for the ledger city of gridlock need a party of course likely to enact sweeping legislation in light of that result economists believe that president donald trump may not be able to cut taxes further but it also means that his current tax cuts cannot be rolled back they believe the gridlock in washington will keep a check on some of trump's more disruptive market measures like the trade war with china some point out that the u.s. economy often performs well when control of congress is split between republicans and democrats will here is a look now at how german business and industry sectors are reacting to the news at least the result of this election shows that the democracy in the united states is

still alive and that there are controversial debates about some also for all of business crucial topics and one major topic is the trade policy of donald trump. from the point of view of the german economy we have little hope that the election results will change anything we shouldn't forget that there are also many democrats who support the administration's course i don't think that there will be a major bettering it might even get worse. i want to get the view stateside now our financial correspondent so fishman skis on wall street for us now sophie we've seen some considerable rallies on u.s. markets off the back of trump's economic plans in recent months the midterms presenting a prospect of difficulties in in that new legislation as that got investors down today. no not at all it is quite the opposite and investors have been sending stuff prices higher all morning you know watch street the dow is

up three hundred seventy points at the moment and the tech in the last that composite and yes and p. five hundred are rising just as strongly now does this make sense it does and it does make sense and this is not the worst outcome that would have been the way for all over congress this is gridlock now and investors can handle that as a even if it might get a little harder to come up with for example new fiscal than really or to deregulate the financial industry they still have that republican senate also this is the outcome that everyone had expected so no surprise here and if investors don't like one thing it is a surprise and then be history shows that the stock market has been performing pretty well under a split congress so maybe we're seeing a self-fulfilling prophecy year or so you know you also following the president's speech any key takeaways in terms of future economic and trade policy what's your

read. both from said it was a big day and a big victory here briefly talked about the gridlock come breath is in starting january and claim to once the unity with the democrats and the media he wants a text cut for the middle class to happen that it's going to be tough with half of congress being in the democrats' hands he also mentioned the farm bill that he wants that he says farm is want to have been suffering from sanctions so much they needed financial support from the government the subsidies and he also briefly talked about trade with japan and saying how unfairly the country has been treating the united states markets are still at. the dow more than three hundred fifty point . financial correspondent monitoring all the action as it in the folds in the united states thank you sir. meanwhile at boston boeing have

called for an end to the u.s. china trade to speak to executives of the two largest plane makers and bitter rivals made the announcement at an air show in china the country's become a key hunting ground for aircraft manufacturers looking to expand their business because of the surge in actually two companies are worried that the ongoing trade conflict could derail orders from china passenger aircraft are one of china's biggest imports from both the u.s. and europe conflict could push beijing to look for alternative options. more business later in the program first a bit later with a look at the politician who has thrown her hat into the ring to succeed marco potentially very interesting a person indeed with big shoes to fill one of the closest allies has officially launched her campaign to lead the chancellor's conservative c.d.u. party well americal transponder americal announced last week that she was stepping

down from the job as party leader and whoever succeeds her will be well positioned to become germany's next chancellor on a great company our also known as a k.k. is seen as the most centrist of the three main santa dates vying for that role. she is. annoying to success. and it was the children's lives legacy that the great crime current on that first in her speech used as those in the. this is the end of an era in which there are many personal relationships and many personal experiences that i connect with angela merkel. but this is also the end of an era that has changed and shaped the c.d.u. in a very special and lasting way in the. come to care about was state premier of zala and before i'm going to medical brought her to belin as

secretary general of the c.d.u. in that position crown carabao has effectively been merkel's right hand woman but with many in the party disillusioned with merkel and her governing coalition her challenge will be to step out of medical shadow and shop and her own profile. today she said it was time to open a new chapter. yet she refused to criticize the chancellor's controversial immigration policy saying the challenge now was to find solutions. yet when somebody knocks on our door and we take the men and give them protection if they then abuse that protection to commit crimes here how should we deal with that and those are the questions that people expect answers to but they don't text back to us to discuss three years later whether what happened in two thousand and fifteen was right or wrong. america's refugee

policy has come under heavy criticism not least from one of crum current powers contenders for the party leadership. on who currently serves as health minister and her cabinet met with c.d.u. members in north rhine-westphalia and she's day along with mats who is also standing both the seen as more conservative than the chancellor and have vowed to move the c.d.u. further to the right the new leader will be elected at a party conference on the seventh of december. well the race is on and simon young we are a political correspondent is a tracking it all for us simon i said to come government power is arguably chancellor merkel's closest confidant i wonder is that a blessing or a cur. yeah well it all depends where the majority of the one thousand and one c.d.u.

delegates will be voting in december think that more of what angle americal stands for is the right recipe to win back public support in a k.k. as she's known certainly the continuity candidate having brin brought to prominence by angle americal but of course she must be aware that many people think mayor cole is a. an approach that has cost the party a lot of public support is responsible for its lack of electoral success so that explains why she's saying today well you know medical must be respected her achievements are important we can't turn the clock back but at the same time it's time for a new chapter for the cd years so you know she's saying well i am in the tradition of miracle but we need something new right now next to not want to say i wait from the lyme ally to let's talk about to mr horse and say how for the interior minister and had of the sister party c.s.u. there were reports earlier in the day that there were plans for him to resign

what's the latest what have you learned. you know say you know if he's the man who's been responsible for a lot of the trouble that angle america is faced especially this year and there have been expectations that he would follow suit do as he did and step back from the leadership of his party following poor election results recently it seems that he's saying he's going to make an announcement on monday after the swearing in of the new bavarian cabinet but from what we hear he won't be stepping down as interior minister as some of suggest he might be tempted to do so he'll be staying in the government aren't simon young reporting thank you. to for gone now in the champions league the lemur darkie from to give us forces with me to look ahead to tonight's match is good to see you lima over let's talk

first about bahrain munich is not really going as according to plan for them they are playing. is there going to be an anguish over it shouldn and i mean you know it's not in the character i mean we're not used to seeing by and struggles oh much and everybody right now is looking for a cause and i think it's natural fall. onto their coach but it's called that's really the fall guy here should he be blamed i mean if your pay is have lapses in concentration of your players commit individual mistakes i am not really just sure he is the guide lame let's take a look. he's accused of not having a plan b. when the going gets tough nico kovacs knows his job is on the line. the problems aren't as pronounced in the champions league at least not yet by and have yet to lose a game but they also have yet to convince for those of us in the studio. the physical work we put in is not always rewarded in the way we'd like but as

a coach or is a plan you have to try to stay positive of course i can say this was a good or that wasn't good but believe me that one's increased my players confidence. neither will conceding a late goal in the eighty ninth minute to be exact against fry book in the bundesliga on saturday that's more points dropped. there's even talk of a rebellion inside the buy and camp some of the senior players unhappy with their reduced playing time others are cutting the coach some slack. using video from we're the ones on the pitch we're responsible when i see a match like against freiburg where we were headed in the fifth minute you shouldn't give that results away and that's nothing to do with the coach it's just players who are on the pitch. even if the players aren't fault it's the coach that always pays the price in football. don't remember comes with

the job was referred let's turn to the clash of the knights you venters hosting manchester united how is their group shaping up so all you ventus need is a draw against united and they through to the knockout phases andy italian side they've been stellar they still am beaten in the champions league and they have yet to concede a goal and even prompting praise from united manchester united manager josie marino who basically said that their defenders should be giving classes at harvard university and defending so yeah it's a lot of work. but let's also talk a little bit about eventis as attack because there's one player right now who hasn't really was not really playing up to his standard i mean he has seven goals in syria but christiana one although has yet to find the net he has no gold in the champions league since signing for your dentist and this is all a bit strange because people have to remember that ronaldo is the competition's all time top goalscorer and for him not to score you know it's not really the champions

league. there are now what else should be looking out for tonight so keep an eye out on hoffenheim in the on because that game the last time they met ended up in a six gold thriller and hoffenheim of course if they win they put themselves in a really good position and also if manchester city lose against shakhtar donetsk then that would basically leave everything wide open in troop at. and who's your money on and off i don't talk that it's life i thought before because it had. it's fun anything can have fit anything can happen that's why i like it so much the right thank you so much and so much they are talking greatly appreciate it all right we are going to take a very short break and we'll be back with lots more news and business so stick

seat. and cameroon seventy nine boarding school students who were kidnapped by separatists have been released reports say the kidnappers are still holding three adult hostages from the school the children aged between eleven and seventeen were seized the earlier monday morning implemented up the capital of the northwest region with no single group says it carried out the kidnapping but separatist militias have been calling for a school boycott. and earlier i had the opportunity to speak with our west africa correspondent increase who is in lagos nigeria he was in cameroon recently in that very region covering the elections there first i asked him what's been happening with the children since their release. well the local governor was talking to journalists today and local journalists and he said the children were reunited with

their families and that they're related leave fine that they're doing relatedly well and what is quite interesting we also said they're going straight back to school right now they're going back to their boarding school and this is an shop contrast to what we've heard from some of the parents yesterday they actually said that once the kids are back they do not want them to go back to school because they see that other danger right now adrian do we know who kidnapped them you know right now we're not sure who was behind it's looks obvious that it was a separatist but there's about ten separate groups separatist groups active in this region and none of them has claimed responsibility for what has happened many of them in fact condemned the kidnapping so there's a lot of speculation still going on and cameroon some people even claim it could be that the government that was behind all this so they could justify the force they used against separatists remember the military in cameroon has been criticized heavily in the past for their human rights abuses but this is all speculation and

it is very difficult to find out the truth because this part of cameroon is not a part where to national observers or journalists can just travel to there's a lot of restrictions from the side of the government and local journalist also can't report freely on their regime that is highly repressive and that has a president who has been in power for more than thirty six years now unfortunately this is not the first time this school where students have been abducted why have they become the target of choice. so most of the schools in the region after been closed for two years because of the pressure of separatist group they have two reasons one they want to present rise the governments to get on the negotiation table and the second reason they say is that they don't want the kids to grow up under the french language system under the french school system and that is why they don't want the kids to go to school they force the parents to boycott the schools and that is basically the reason why for

two years now most of the kids in this entire area are not going to school which is of course a terrible situation and that was our west africa correspondent increased reporting from lagos and nigeria next up we had to rwanda the country's leading political dissidents has gone on trial diane regard is a vocal critic of president paul kagame she has attacked him over his human rights record and last year she was barred from running against him in elections which she won with more than ninety eight percent of the vote really darragh appeared in court on wednesday along with her mother there facing charges of inciting insurrection against the government prosecutors looking for a twenty two year sentence jail sentence that is both women spent more than a year in prison before being released on bail last month she has dismissed the accusations calling them politically motivated and

a verdict from the high court is expected next month. thanks to the horn of africa where an ethiopian ship recently docked at the eritrean port for the first time in two decades it's a sign of strengthening ties between the two eastern africa neighbors who spent years at war well since the country signed a peace agreements back in july eritrea's have been hoping their harbors it could hum with life again and ethiopian trade. this is from a sour on the red sea once a thriving trading hub it's long been a sleepy coastal town after july's peace agreement between eritrea and ethiopia it may once again be booming the first ethiopian ship just docked in the harbor only a few weeks ago more should follow soon both countries are hoping for an economic upswing the dock workers are ready and waiting. but. we want tours to come and we especially want business people we should invest in

the port to create as many jobs as possible we want to sour to be rebuilt we want it to develop. the whole and the young and so. everywhere there are traces of the decades long war of independence against ethiopia. but this is how massaro wants to look modern and new like this hotel with its two hundred twenty rooms albeit without air conditioning or electricity at the moment. some tourists are coming to this restaurant for instance many of them crossing over from ethiopia since the borders have been open since mid september gabrielle or has been doing well recently the former independence fighter hardly believes that there is at last peace. i can't hold a grudge against ethiopia and you can fight each other for

a long time but there's always a chance for reconciliation we've made sacrifices again and again now the two countries have made peace that's good because you can't live without peace without the odd loss was one that she now has to work hard to make ends meet during and after the war she endured many hardships. you never want i have no children because i was seriously injured in combat but i live with discipline and hope because after all i survived. there are many young ethiopian visitors to eritrea and they've never known anything but political enmity between the two countries whose language culture and religion are very similar. to oh my god i do it all for our very very good this must be put in

a day like guess this the war tool many families apart now for the first time in twenty years relatives can visit one another families who were not even able to make phone calls until recently. i've never seen my cousins but when they came to visit it was as if we'd always known each other the love was just there. until recently eritrea has been isolated and alone now only months after its peace agreement with ethiopia the country looks to the future. right now meanwhile let's turn to florida where over one million people have just regained the right to vote for civil rights activists in the state have been celebrating their victory after the passing of amendment who are which restores voting rights to felons who have completed their prison sentences served their time and are out on six million people nationwide are able to cast their ballots because of criminal records and

sewer has the largest number of those affected all right and. a large crowd really very happy their social media editor william mcgrew crawford is here to tell us a bit more about the reactions that we are seeing to this well landmark result well first of all what is amendment four right so this ballot actually takes things back the way they were already in two thousand and eleven that's how most most ex felons get their rights back when they leave prison generally speaking you do your time you get your vote back this affects one point four million floridians as we've mentioned. short of murder and sex offender offenders but this is not how it always was that the last few years under the previous republican governor he essentially did away with this get out of jail get your voting right back and instead he set up this thing called the office of executive clemency which was a rather subjective and not very impartial way of of felons applying to get their

voting rights back now a group of ex fallon's sued they won in a federal court earlier this year a federal judge said that is unconstitutional you cannot have it this way you're violating their rights under the fourteenth amendment equal protection clause so the ballot measure to replace that to go back to how it was passed with sixty five percent which was not only a huge number but also more than the supermajority that was required for this ballot measure to take effect desmond mead is one of the x. felons we have a video of him expressing how he felt just yesterday when that passed we can have a look here. so. i'll. just. just say.

there were cheers joy. so a very emotional moment for him and a lot of other experiments he was flying around the state that day doing press events to promote to promote this he actually says in the video that a little boy in front of him turned around him and was afraid said to his mother they must be something wrong with the plane but of course as he said it was just tears of joy and i mean that number that you mentioned sixty five percent of those who voted voted in favor of amendment four so large support there what effect could this have on future alexion because one million is a big number yeah well before we look at the future elections i mean let's talk about just what this means for florida i mean florida has a huge prison population america has a huge prison population and a florida has a lot of that you know the one point four five million people this represents that's ten percent of florida's adult population it's twenty percent of their black population we have some statistics from census data from the prison policy initiative we can see here if florida were just a country it would beat out the united states and how many people incarcerates with

more than eight hundred people per hundred thousand in the population versus almost seven hundred for the united states far above some of america's western allies so you can see a major major incarceration population here in florida and then for looking at just in terms of how ethnic groups break down we have more than two thousand and twenty five hundred black floridians per one hundred thousand people in their ethnic group are incarcerated where you can see in this graph that's way higher than whites and hispanics and then if we're looking at just the proportion to the population blacks represent just sixteen percent of the fluff largest population but they are forty six percent of the prison population and is the inverse for whites fifty percent of florida is white but they represent just forty one percent of the prison population so way huge imbalance this year especially in inadvertently inversely affecting blacks and other minorities this is a major game changer thank you so much ram for bringing us that story greatly

appreciate it. and next up. we're talking about a commodity all of a kind of talking about water because clean water is becoming increasingly scarce here on earth despite it being declared a human right by the united nations now developed countries can see far too much of it still almost one people one billion people have no access to attend a conference with participants from around the world is currently taking place here in berlin it's trying to ensure supply of the precious resource for ourselves as well as for future generations. we like to think that there's enough three quarters of the blue planet as the earth is sometimes called is covered with water but only two point five percent of it is fresh water suitable for human consumption most of the water worldwide is used in agriculture the extraction of natural resources and

the operation of power plants consume lots of water too and due to the rapid increase in the world's population the problem will continue to worsen. that. experts estimate that instead of the seven point six billion today there will be more than eight billion people living in our planet by twenty thirty just twenty years after that it could go up to almost ten billion and by the turn of the century another billion will have been added. then there are the effects of climate change many regions are already getting too little rain experts assume that by twenty thirty the scarcity of water will be felt around the world including in large parts of europe that's why experts are calling for annual investment of about six hundred fifty billion dollars in irrigation systems sea water dissemination plants and the modernization of existing water pipeline systems but the people in

countries that need the technology the most are also the ones who can't afford it. when attending the future of what a conference here in berlin is and then codomain his expertise is water resilience in an areas thank you very much for coming straight from that conference and joining us here in the studios this evening that we saw in that piece the ex the estimate as investment needed to the choosing of six hundred fifty billion dollars it's huge what's your sense coming from the conference is that the political will or is this a sidelined issue still i believe is still lacking a feel for urgency yeah or does challenge him want to security. and many countries especially developed countries are focusing more on. in this part of the world too much water dealing with it and lacking let's say two to look more precise in how water is used have been seeing the mountain and villa billeted so how does that need to be balance what needs to happen i believe there is

a more radical change needed in the attitudes to water use. so. it's a lot of this water users actually moment potable have what we call no drinking water needs and it's strange that in many countries we still flush toilets with drinking water there's no need to tech we know you can play a huge role unfortunately it can be costly and often countries that need this tech at those with little cash how important is tech in this fight is this is is this fight will not only in the mythological sense a in the end for costing drugs or. in agricultural but this is also to raise the awareness have by. using this these digital transformation or digital solutions like today i presented to catch project helping cities to go more has raised that where in us about this

water challenges especially in the north sea region tech aside what you're presenting could be a very dire reality for people around the wall falling as for example all of us in fact attack aside as concerned citizens i mean what should we be doing what could i do. i think three let's say things i believe in or tips that you can actually do yourself is that firstly at home you can actually use the less less water use in home secondly you can actually reclaim water use this water again and again you have different kinds of use that also ask for. different kinds of water qualities and thirdly and this is a thing maybe more important than the others is that everything we consume or buy has a certain what a footprint like for example when you're skipping meets. your meals

or on a day that they actually equals the water amount of one year showering us incredible so i've got three takeaway tips there which i will try my best to implement and i could tell when an expert on water resilience in areas thank you very much for speaking to us here on. and right now it's back a that data thank you so much helena also news now from the world of arts why not everyone would agree that graffiti is a form of art most people would agree that spray paint has its uses and one artist and the french capital is convinced that just about any object can be beautified with a coating of her favorite color if on the street this bike was considered garbage no one wanted it but after a bit of gold paint it's taken on a completely new meaning on the streets of paris sid is a street artist who sprays her subjects with gold to make them more than just waste

. my goal with this project is to give things which have been thrown away or simply forgotten a new lease on life turning them gold makes them somehow something special. come on to. see it has also given this scooter a shiny new notoriety what was trash now looks somehow regal. the project all began with an old street sign now since idea is turning heads. that this will that that's about it really is quite impressive people only ever talk about new things but they never talk about old broken things that actually belong in the rubbish. sense when i think making art out of rubbish is a great idea great work it gives them renewed worth once. it's quite unique you don't see that every day it's really a cutting but it's enough that not all of your pieces stay on the street since

apartment is full of them cobble stones and even bones there's nothing that can't be colored gold the artist is especially proud of this motorcycle the night the french national soccer team won the world cup she saw it burning in the street now it's part of her collection. yes it was outside for three days then i brought it in i did that because people had started taking little pieces of it as a souvenir. this project has made sit quite well known she's currently preparing an exhibition that's why she's constantly searching for new objects that she can bring out of the shadows and back into public view. during a chat gramophone or

a company celebrated its one hundred twentieth anniversary anniversary last evening in the borough and philharmonic hall with a concert featuring two world classical maker stars see or hear on the violin german violinist sophie what are our rehearsing and the chinese pianist lang lang what treats and our classical music correspondent eric holder was there somebody had to do the tough assignments. always there always there were like dirty job but somebody's got to do it you know it was very posh as you might expect from georgia go on the phone and maybe that was all symbolized or summed up by this white chiffon dress floor length that you know there's an audible gasp in the audience with you know. and of course things like this are expected to be sort of you know major social events i think that both lung lung and on the sophie muhtar however had

a very personal approach to their to their playing and they were accompanied by the building staatskapelle it under munford for with songs from very very soft to explosive and all together both artists gave encores which is a very nice touch and both i think kind of in a sense the concert some. what classical music is and what it can be. so she motel is considered one of the greatest violinists of all time she's been recording for daughter gramophone for forty years one third of the company's history so what makes the label so special and her opinion. this is a company which has a treasure chest of historic recordings and that is actually always the groundwork not only for music lovers in the audience but for young musicians they should go for

a check what early are. generations have that have achieved have done have been dreaming off as intellectual concepts of pieces. lang lang has also recorded for deutsche grammophon at thirty six the chinese born musician represents a younger generation and has a strong appeal for young audiences he feels that classical music is still important in the modern age. classical real has been around for you know hundreds of years and been such. an inspirational. emotional moving enjoyable. part for and when you listen to a classical music it makes all your sense senses are open you know and you know in that because we cannot just live in

a world on the surface. with artists like lang lang and and as a few motown touch you come a phone is well positioned for the next one hundred twenty years. it makes it look so easy all right now let's talk a little bit about the past one hundred twenty years talk to us about the significance for in terms of the comma for history well its music history at the same time. there you go on the phone was founded by an american born in hanover germany his name was jim will bear lunar it's the very same him a billionaire who invented the gramophone and the disc so technology and artistry have always gone together with this company and within four years in one thousand or two. it was singing into a horn and he became the first major star maybe the first popular snoozing star of all times on the basis of his recordings and then in

a few years the company's factory in hanover had his turning out something like thousands of discs a day with one hundred pressing machines the company's golden era after world war two it was symbolized by air but from carry on and it was there's a number this is significant number four hundred four four hundred four hours of music is what carry on recorded and if you played them back to back to be seventeen years of music but of course there are many other artists and a great variety of artists that wasn't all carry on all the time. i would say also . you know it's this thing about technology in artistry it's continues that was the company's the first country to record on tape the first country company to record in stereo and it goes on today because it's the first classical music label to have its own loans at apple music so it continues there are right now i've got thirty seconds left let's go back to that concert that you went to yesterday what stood out for you well you know there was technology there too because on the sofa in
