we go to the north of the country where people are surviving on leaves. israel's defense minister quits over a ceasefire with palestinian militants or lieberman says it's nothing less than a surrender to terror. plus new worries about germany's economic boom as the economy shrinks for the first time in years we'll tell you what's behind the decline. and voters in the canadian city of calgary reject a bid to host the twenty twenty six winter olympics that is despite widespread nostalgia over calgary's hosting of the games back in one nine hundred eighty eight . in the morning. i'm sumi so misconducts good to have you with us british prime minister theresa may is huddling with her cabinet right now after nearly eighteen months of negotiations may has we. draft agreement with the european union negotiated on the u.k.'s exit

from the bloc but can she be sure that hard line breaks and tears in her cabinet will back it just a few hours ago she defended the deal in parliament telling lawmakers the u.k. was significantly closer to delivering on the result of the bread's a vote but she faces opposition from m.p.'s on all sides with labor leader jeremy corbyn calling the deal a failure in its own terms lawmakers will ultimately have a say on the deal but first may need to convince her cabinet colleagues. and we have our correspondents covering all angles of this story for us nicole reece in london and band is in brussels that to see you both nicole let's start with you theresa may is how do with her cabinet as we said are they going to support this deal. product is the big question here the cabinet that all that twenty people that she needs convincing she met some of them yesterday even each have individual tolt put forward to draw first but yet again this is

a moment of truth because she will now find out if they actually back this trough there are some programs that ministers in this cabinet some for remain ministers in this cabinet and if they don't see their wishes being respected in the structure it could very well will. all right very much in the moment of truth for the prime minister nicole just a few hours ago may was defending the deal during prime minister's questions in parliament so let's listen to an exchange between her and the main opposition leader of the labor party's german corben. american moment do you all that supports jobs and industry and we know they haven't prepared seriously for no deal so does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between who a botched jail or no jail right. there and say to the right on which and one that

he's wrong in the description that he set out but can i also say to him time and time again he has stood up in this house and complained and said that the government isn't making progress the government isn't anywhere close to a deal now we're making progress and close to a daily scum plain about. i just say i think i think more but clearly shows he and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate directed and try to. get any right looks like we've all lost our line to nicole reese and london unfortunately will try to get her back up in the meantime barrett let's come to you in brussels let's say theresa may does get the backing of her cabinet for this deal that would then go back to brussels what happens that. him brothers now the mood is this close this close to a deal actually and everybody is waiting now from the bird from london and the

seven the twenty seven and deserters of the u. countries are now being briefed on the text on the content of this deal but there's no confirmation yet that there is a deal it's only a technical agreement but everybody does eager to get the news from london then to agree to the text to finalize and to him out this divorce deal and the declaration about the future perspectives of the e.u. and great britain runs great britain has exited the e.u. so the mood is quite upswing here but officially there's no word but already the chancellor of austria sebastian quotes who is holding the rotating your presidency said the deal is done and there will be most likely an agreement this week and next week maybe then a summit of the you had the state and government to finalize the deal ok so some optimism there about but how likely is it that all of the remaining twenty seven e.u. states will actually back this deal. well that's actually very likely because michele

dunne year the chief negotiator has the backing of all twenty seven and he would have not issued a text or drafted a text that has not the backing of all of them and also the irish prime minister. already indorsed this deal island is of course the closest. country most likely to be. effected by breck said so if iraq does says it is it is it the i guess the other twenty six will not oppose that i am faker test for us from brussels dan thank you very much. now to some other stories making headlines around the world sri lanka's political crisis has intensified after lawmakers voted out the country's newly appointed prime minister in a heated session the move follows a decision by the country's top court to suspend a presidential order to dissolve parliament and hold fresh elections mahinda rajapaksa was appointed prime minister last month after the president kicked out

his predecessor and we'll be covering that story a bit more in the second half of the show u.s. vice president mike pence has told me and more leader aung san suu kyi there is no excuse for the violence that's caused hundreds of thousands of for him to sleep her country pence was meeting suchi on the sidelines of regional summit he also pressed for the release of two jailed reuters journalists. only california firefighters have been battling a new slayer up in a huge fire burning outside of los angeles the blaze centers on ventura county it is one of the largest to hit southern california in recent memory at least forty eight people have been confirmed dead in the fires across california the exact number of missing is unclear. to yemen now where diplomatic efforts to end fighting around the key port of ho died are intensifying that's of the united nations ratchets up calls for peace talks between the rival saudi and iran backed factions in the civil war the diet is crucial to supplying millions of starving in many ways with shipments of food and other aid since the battle for the port began

those shipments have slowed adding to what the u.n. says is the world's worst humanitarian crisis alex understand soul travel to the northern region of her job where people are so desperate for food they've resorted to eating leaves. these people are harvesting their lunch. leaves from the left plant and nothing else no branch no rice noodles to d.m. me have to fend for themselves. i'm thinking i am we haven't had help from any organization. i asked time and again if they could help the families suffering because of the war. the dia family fled the military offensive but a saudi coalition against hutu rebels and ended up in the remote region of hunter perjurer is not far from the yemeni capital sanaa only two hundred twenty

kilometers but the mountains here are more than two thousand meters high the saudi air force destroyed and damaged many roads to getting relief aid to this area is very difficult that's why the dear family are eating leaves for lunch the meager food source does not satisfy the nutritional needs the children are weak and often fall ill and i know what when my husband still had a job we could buy all sorts of things rice fish chicken milk juice anything. highly i think. the dear family are not alone. in. the central hospital and treats many malnourished children

when they're able to reach it local pediatricians say transportation is the main problem. on of them after a few many people are sick but just can't get to the hospital and had. no organization exists that helps people get to the hospital and that's why the death rate has risen and. the children that do receive treatment at least have a chance of surviving. but for some the treatment comes too late. many end up dying at the hospital stay. yeah there he added the number of malnourished children so far this year is already higher than it was in twenty seventeen. on bashing. any m. and a child dies unnecessarily every ten minutes according to the aid organization

unicef almost two million children are seriously malnourished due to the war in yemen a lack of medical supplies aggravate an already dramatic humanitarian crisis the doctors cannot treat everyone and have to set priorities. he and his many children experienced this firsthand at the hodgett refugee camp now have you had a living conditions are very bad for children always getting sick but when we take them to the doctors they don't receive any treatment because only the very serious cases are accepted. the son meets up with his friends. here in the mountains of her football is one of the boys a few pleasures. yes friends and i hope we can go to school again now we only play football i was in the third grade when my

family and i have a home now we are displaced. it is the children in yemen who have been most damaged by the war many have lost years of both physical and intellectual development. israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman has quit over a ceasefire with the palestinian militant group hamas the truce follows a deadly escalation and cross border violence in the wake of an israeli raid in gaza over the weekend at least eight people have died including one fisherman reportedly killed since the cease fire lieberman's shock resignation significantly weakens israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu government lieberman had demanded a tougher response to palestinian rocket fire. mushfiqur more or less the cease fire combined with a deal with hamas this is a red letter to tara. was there's no other way of defining it no other meaning but

to surrender to terror and this is. very much. let's bring in cramer from jerusalem now tony good to see you tell us more about what's behind this announcement. well i mean he basically dropped a bombshell on prime minister netanyahu saying that he is you know not in favor of to cease fire although he was part of the security cabinet meeting on tuesday for several hours and then they came out and apparently wanted to restore a common sense saying the hostilities so the reading here in israel is actually that he's repos they shooting himself as a hard liner as somebody you know who doesn't want to support what happened then the past three days over gaza i mean this is not the first time that there was escalation ever since there have been demonstrations on the border with israel

there have been always times of escalation often with stay where. cease fires back and stalled or at least to come and in the past couple of months about also talk about that there are negotiations indirect negotiations under the mediation of egypt and the you and you know to come to some kind of understandings to humanitarian situation in gaza between israel and hamas and he said no he's not in favor for that so the reading here is when his mother he wants to reposition himself and he might be eyeing early elections tanya this is a shock announcement as you said stepping down and leaving the coalition where does this leave netanyahu government. or ten if you can hear us we're just asking where this all leaves prime minister benjamin netanyahu is government. all right it looks like we've lost

that line to our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem reporting for us there. let's move on to some other news now and to business the first contraction for europe's economic engine in more than three years and gary hart elsewheres is here with more on that story that's right sumi the german economy shrank by zero point two percent in the third quarter and that's a more than expected growth was stifled by global trade disputes and problems in germany's car industry analysts say the data was another wake up call that stable growth spano means given exports were down and imports up in the third quarter that's trouble for an economy built on strong exports a major part of the problem has been a bottleneck in car deliveries by german automakers the result of new more rigorous you emissions rules but there are other issues political ones global trade disputes are threatening the bottom lines of german companies both b.m.w. and di miller cited trade uncertainty in their latest earnings reports breaks it is

also threatening a chunk of german business with the u.k. analysts still believe the german economy will grow this year but the news figures show that the country's political stability and low unemployment with a weak euro currency don't guarantee a strong economy. like few other nations the german economy relies on overseas consumption at a time of growing uncertainty it only makes sense that it's feeling the pinch. let's see how the markets have reacted to this piece of news on the stanley buying friends are done here how boring are these signs for investors. well again hard even though many have said that the big boom seems to be a little bit over i do have the feeling that investors are kind of playing these numbers a little bit down at the moment italy and rex are two topics which are keeping investors more busy here at the moment they are calling the latest g.d.p. figures the sort of one off and are optimistic we also heard it in the report that

growth is set to continue in two thousand and nineteen as a result we also don't really see a negative impact here at the market today the roots of index x. was at some point down but there was more related to brecht's it in italy and then in the last hours recovered so we are actually here in the green at the moment. is this just news for the german economy or do these figures of why they are. well i do feel we really have to talk a little bit more about the wider impact of this situation germany is still strong enough that even though those g.d.p. figures when they are down at the moment also not dramatically down they are geopolitical reasons behind this analysts are telling us that germany's export figures have been going down mostly because of this ongoing trade tension with the united states with him talking lately more about the trade war between china and the u.s. but we also have to keep in mind that the u.s. president donald trump has has really attacked jura been also drew many as well and

this has been slowing down the economy so export numbers went down consumer spending as well while at the same time imports from of brought went out don you know coop in frankfurt thank you very much for this notices. here in germany people are traditionally skeptical when it comes to new technology country has great research labs but it can take a long time before new technologies become part of daily life now the german government has set aside around three billion euros for research and development of artificial intelligence is part of an initiative to close the digital gap between europe's economic powerhouse germany on the one side and the u.s. and china on the other a low everyone in an english artificial intelligence this is my is this the new show of the future last week china unveiled the world's first artificially intelligent news anchor the robot was modeled on a human newsreader using special intelligence software it's part of

a major push by china to advance its prowess in ai technology many chinese tech companies are working on new ai developments and beijing will invest massively between now and twenty twenty five. the p w c consultancy recently estimated that artificial intelligence will contribute some sixteen trillion dollars to the world economy by twenty thirty. the greatest gains would be seen in china where the economy would grow by more than a quarter thanks to ai while north america's growth potential is nearly fifteen percent. its contribution to germany's g.d.p. would amount to about eleven percent. the parts of the economy that will experience the biggest transformation include the automobile manufacturing and health sectors . but even farming will be affected in one project at the west coast university of applied science in northern germany

a robot is learning how to distinguish carrot plants from leeds. experts at the german research institute for artificial intelligence say germany is doing well in ai research but lagging behind other countries when it comes to turning know how into products for them to put it all political parties agree that we have to digitalize and that is a motive for progress the population remains skeptical that has to do with fears of job losses fears about data protection maybe also with a generally skeptical attitude towards technology those are problems in germany i think that's why no one is really prepared to fund it properly. for the experts the solution is more information showing the public the advantages of artificial intelligence applications such as smart homes were taught in this driving they say the prevailing skepticism must be overcome if germany is to catch up internationally. more business news with

a realigned but less than the. relief to hear that the delegates from around the world are gathering in egypt today to discuss progress on the un convention on biodiversity signatories to the landmark agreement have committed to targets for protecting the diversity of life on earth today a lot of initiatives are in place that help meet that goal including and farming project in madagascar that cultivates sea cucumber. only during the full moon or new moon is the tide low enough that's when the aquaculture farmers of time called obey head to their enclosures to take inventory workers from the n.g.o.s blue ventures monitor the animals' growth this is the group that first proposed raising sea cucumbers to the villagers ten years ago once the creatures reach four hundred grams their ready for sale yet. there are rules for maintaining the enclosure but exult we devised them with the famous for example no

when me and another farmers inclosure without his or her permission and fishing of any kind is banned. crabs are the one exception they can be caught because otherwise that eat the sea cucumber as well these rules serve to protect the sea. before aquaculture began here hardly any fish were left in this lagoon today there is a greater variety of fish snails and crabs that's because sea cucumber is act like natural filters by ingesting sand they purify it removing organic waste micro algae and bacteria. in a country where seventy percent of the population lives in poverty the village is experiencing some rare prosperity thanks to c.q. cumbers. said effie and kitty was one of the first aquaculture farmers here in two thousand and nine. before the sea

cucumber farm started i had no way to raise my standard of living. and you will heal since i got my own enclosure i've had enough money to send my two children to school and i've bought a few nice things for my house. and i have a herd of goats now we. wouldn't feed the poor who the farmers pay sixteen cents for the new born sea creatures but after nine months of eating their way through the sand the now mature sea cucumbers are worth a dollar thirty in asia and elsewhere dried sea cucumber zora delicacy cultivating them benefits not only the farmers but the entire bay and all its marine life. and we'll have more on the biodiversity summit a little bit later in the shell to thailand now with the death of a child who had participated in a kick boxing match has sparked a debate of the country's national sport the boy was thirteen years old and that's

a lot more than one hundred seventy matches when he died reportedly from a fatal brain hemorrhage it's a common for children to start practicing thai boxing at a young age and organizers insist that things should stay the way they are. the so-called all out of. more tie is thailand's national sport where he started fighting a new church was just eight years old injuries he sustained during this recent fight for as usual without protective equipment resulted in his death. he was thirteen. the incident has ignited a national debate about the rules and dangers of the sport legislation is being considered which would see under twelve banned from competitive fighting a new jersey uncle a boxing coach himself believes it's time for regulation. he found that. for me i think it's important to have protective gear we should have

protective gear for children under twelve. but those seemingly modest proposals face organized opposition from a lobby that believes regulation would destroy you more in taare because this case an anomaly and says that fighters have to start young and who choose death has laid bare the dangers involved. voters in the canadian city of calgary have dealt a blow to the international olympic committee and its struggle to find host cities for future olympic games just as referendum there produced a solid victory for the no side as residents demand of the city withdraw a bit to host the twenty twenty six games calgary has hosted the winter olympics before back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight but this time worries about the cost of the event led fifty six percent of voters to reject the proposed it to diffuse test the water has more on the non-binding vote of the city council is

expected to fall. into an eternal six al warmly welcome. it was a companion marked with joy fear and emotional debate with the yes side extremely well funded in comparison to the no complain that had very little money. calgary's legacy was changed by hosting the hugely successful winter games in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight the prospect of reviving the spiking twenty eight hundred s. polarized the people you know i've always dreamed of sharing on the podium and singing the national anthem with their battle but to think that maybe twenty twenty six thirty or calgary if there was an exact same situation i was standing on top of the board you see the national anthem is a very exciting prospect but at the polls not everyone was so positive i'm voting no today because i don't believe city council has presented us with a budget that is accurate and i'm worried that taxpayers are going to be paying for

this for the next twenty to thirty years the i.o.c. has struggled a lot in recent years to find cities willing to spend billions to host the games recently they come up with a new plan the olympic agenda twenty twenty claiming to reduce costs for hosts they keep on telling people to keep on telling potential host cities that they've changed but there's no evidence that they've changed. ultimately the cost of over three billion euros was simply too high the answer hume calgary was no. the no here from calgary mike's another low point for the future of the olympic games popular support is shrinking but she leaves the bidding process to those countries willing to host the games either way or without the democratic support of the population. you're watching did have you news still to come sri lanka's political crisis deepens with parliament passing a vote of no confidence against the new prime minister where is just bitter power

struggle headed. that story and much more coming up in two minutes time. clock. scars cover and forget women in russia have to live with violence sexism depression. where putin's petri arche moves today women's rights were already gaining traction one hundred years ago but there are women who want to instigate change in everyday life for justice and equality under the skin of russia's women forty five.

climate change so. waist length. isn't it time for good news. for a company plans projects that are changing the lives are meant for the better it's up to us to make a difference people want to go. along d.w. . you can tell a lot about a society by its garbage. the first season. worthless for the rich but when many poor people don't furnish their own a chance of survival. tonight can be done for today just like. the reporters travel to nairobi and work and keep you know the true value is garbage. it has created a thriving parallel economy. what does all this mean for become a key because you're right i'm glad you guys are starting class warfare the response

to that statement should be yes we are starting to let's walk here because retired . actually destruct and you go to. the bridge to the truck exclusive report starts nov seventeenth on g.w. . you're watching the news i'm so new so misconduct coming up in the next fifteen minutes fish farms move into malaysia destroying mangrove forests that sheltered delicate coastal ecosystems that scientists say serve as a buffer to climate change. and at least one template i rappers taking aim at the military government with you tube views thirty four million and counting we'll find out why this viral video was hit such a nerve. but first we start in sri lanka where the parliament has passed

a vote of no confidence in the newly appointed prime minister by hindu rajapaksa it is the latest twist in a chaotic week which soft president might see a policy to say not dissolve parliament and call snap elections only to have the supreme court overruled the decree now rajapaksa is party slammed today's no confidence vote as a legal and have recognized refused to recognize that the constitutional standoff was triggered last month when the president fired prime minister runnels within a single and named russia talks to the joke. let's get more perspective on the story now with alan keenan he's three lanka project director for the international crisis group he joins us from london alan thank you for joining us here on. the government is in crisis this is a complex situation we had the president dissolved parliament last week the supreme court reinstated it yesterday today the parliament effectively sacked the prime minister who is in charge of sri lanka right now. well it's unclear i think we're

in legally uncharted territory here and everyone is awaiting the next move by president cirrus sr as your report just said the supporters of mr rajapaksa don't accept as valid the parliament's rejection of of matchboxes the no confidence vote because they say they didn't follow proper procedures that's probably because they didn't let the house actually convene probably but even it even assuming serious seen except the parliament's no confidence vote is as valid it's up to him to name a new prime minister and rajapaksa and first last years in has said he never worked with the missing again. but also the crossing is still has to be endorsed by the parliament so there's a couple of steps to you know still to go in this saga well it was the appointment of rajapaksa that really triggered this political crisis is his comeback over. no i know me i mean who knows it's but certainly not necessarily he's been badly

damaged i think in many people's minds because of the way in which he came back to power in ways that many people if not most objective observers think was unconstitutional but the damage to his own reputation is not necessarily fatal i think he's still very popular among many singhalese and probably if there were elections were called actually if they go through and he'd probably be the front runner so we'll have to see how the next you know set of series of moves on each side go to see really what how badly damaged he's been back to process alan we're hearing ten years since the end of a brutal civil war what impact do you think this instability could have on the country well as a conflict resolution organization that crisis groups great worry is is how this might fuel for their tensions certainly the tensions between supporters on both sides are very high both sides don't think the other one her legitimately have legitimate claims to being in power and i think particularly worrisome has been the

willingness of president syria cena and russia papa to to make and to go along with illegal and unconstitutional moves and everyone seems sort of caught up now in his euro some conflict where if one is to win the other has to lose so it's quite worrisome where this is all going on right worrying trends in sri lanka indeed alan keenan a senior analyst with the international crisis group thank you so much for joining us. welcome. now around the globe mangrove forests are a cradle of coastal sea lice evidence is mounting that these saltwater loving trees that you see here are in effect a buffer to climate change that protect coastlines from storms even tsunami waves but scientists say the planet has lost more than half of its mangrove forests now thirty two million hectares have been wiped out that's an area essentially the size of pakistan and the destruction continues the u.n. estimates that we're losing another one hundred fifty thousand hectares every year

that's one soccer field of mangrove forests disappearing every four minutes more than a third of the world's mangrove forests are in southeast asia our next report follows a former village chief in the malaysian state of sub on the island of borneo now locals there say they have traded a coastal mangrove land to an industrial shrimp farm for promises of jobs in electricity but the deal has had devastating results. worries time is running out for the mangroves around his village mangoes are the anchor of life here fish shelter in the roots an important food source. the forest also acts as a buffer from a rotation and storms. but here in northern borneo industrial fish farms are moving in the mangroves replaced with plastic lined ponds a loss that's left locals feeling vulnerable. among we don't want any further destruction to happen because the climate has already become hotter. there

are no more mangroves. when the tide comes in the water overflows because there's nowhere else for it to go. there's no more drainage for the water to escape. a company called sunlight in the seafood owns these farms covering a vast nine hundred hectares. and this. it's also worrying waste water from one of the shrimp ponds pouring into a stream and more fears that their heritage is under threat as the farm edges closer to ancestral shrines. up anything. our hopes have been crushed we feel very oppressed because we can see it but we cannot go to it. but it's like losing a family. multiple requests for comment from sunlight seafood have gone and

answered the company has requested to expand on to another four hundred hectares of request that for now the government says it has declined. for more on the story we're joined by lynn a stand of the president of the environmental protection association in north for neil lennon thank you so much for joining us what are the consequences of mangrove clearances where you are in such a state. thank you. that question so the consequences so many groups being clear is the first thing is to the communities that rely on them. a lot of our local communities rely on these mangroves as. your food the quality of fridges if the food their food comes from that source of protein comes from these mangroves that's what the second thing is their livelihoods they rely very heavily on the main group areas for the

livelihoods as well now with the destruction of in this particular case of the destruction of the two thousand three hundred acres of mangrove area the in this area and these communities are already poverty stricken and they have gone even more into poverty stricken and not only not only to the communities but these mangroves. it affects the role of the course of protection loss of habitat for marine life lots of sauce for primates not what you'll do you have this monkeys and mechanics in that live primarily in this mangroves ok and being affected very badly ok and so what you're saying is that if there is such a crucial to all forms of life there in all aspects of life rather now there is a un biodiversity conference going on in egypt right now can international agreements help here. good question.

these agape let me could put it this way international agreements have been around . for thirty forty years now the convention for biological diversity was in one nine hundred seventy two and if you see the situation that is happening around the world today especially in the developing countries or third world countries. it's not helping there's a huge disconnect between international agreements and what's happening on the ground in these countries basically where there is conflict at commodities and includes. marine seafood. if they do that it's complicated international agreements it's not want to go anywhere because. this is the implementation of it basically on the ground right now in the implementation important message there from the president of the environmental

protection association in north borneo thank you so much for speaking to us. atheists. to talk about where this rap song right here has touched a nerve with its fiery lyrics accusing the military government of being a dictatorship tired saudis were an amused and police initially threatened legal action but they've since backed down the song was written by a collective calling themselves rap against dictatorship and their you tube videos now surged past thirty four million euros. and heartache caught up with a group in bangkok to talk about youth democracy and thailand's. going. on the cell phones. in the streets in the cars. the beats of a rap song reverberating throughout tyla. what was said to.

me or in english what my country has criticised this thailand's military government and the lack of freedom that you loved somebody immediately followed but did you meet god the middle of. the day couldn't even get out of that one of them in a country under a military dictatorship that has struck a chord especially among young tides the song got more than twenty million clicks on you tube in just a week and. it's sort of a voice between ages the young adults who can think that contact. we can only talk amongst ourselves but we have no liberty or rights to speak out freely if you do speak your mind it will only be bad for yourself. and you can't change anything anyway. how would i. not daring to speak out something the group rappers against dictatorship wanted to

change that's why they wrote to me. we think that anyone can use the phrase what my country's got the title of the song to speak out about whatever's on their mind what they think is the matter with our country and we hope that people will start being more critical when it comes to politics. i was. speaking out against the powerful has never been without risk in thailand but since the latest military coup four years ago it's become even more dangerous. also for rappers against dictatorship the police had first declared they were investigating the group for a possible violation of the so-called computer crime act that could get them five years in prison but what the announcement got the song was five million clicks in today the authorities have since backed down. the lyrics don't contain anything

that insults anyone personally and that's why i never thought the song would draw attention from the authorities but when the police started talking about it that's really when it became so popular all of a sudden. on the outside thailand looks like a peaceful country. but there are deep divisions. time and again the country has been on the brink of civil war and. for now the military government is keeping a lid on things but below the surface and. it's starting to heat up again. there haven't been elections in more than four years they're scheduled for february but what will they be worth if society doesn't change. people should develop a critical mindset in their everyday lives. i think if that were the case they would actually be less conflict within society conflict happens when people don't

accept that others have a different opinion. if we could get them to reach a compromise instead of fighting with those who don't share our opinion. that would be an important step towards a better future. before the middle name makes me. think i know what they're becoming. making up to be any. more but. i'm a little but it. looks like. he did his best and heartache reporting for us they're here watching d.w. news still to come pioneer of electronic music john michel java has a new album out it's called economics infinity and it's a follow up to his one thousand nine hundred seventy eight pioneering work in the.

senate. but first back again had the business and you have on the brink of another big trade agreement that's right china japan and india among asian nations who say they're in the final stages of a massive trade agreement on the association of southeast asian nations wrapped up two days of meetings in singapore with a vow to have the regional comprehensive economic partnership are set finalized by next year the deal will be the world's largest combined. covering sixteen nations and accounting for a staggering forty percent of global trade also stemming from the summit was an agreement by singapore to promote a chinese bond the day it's. grape juice is a healthy drink as it's packed with antioxidants grown ups drink it to lower their cholesterol kids just love the taste but what to do with all the stuff left behind

after you've crushed the grapes but here's an idea next and fuel out of it most places in the french region have been run on diesel not this one the driver is a big fan of her alternative fuel to get places it's very very flexible compared to the other buses and a lot more quiet to you don't you. think that makes for a more comfortable ride but passengers also appreciate the environmental aspects but if it weren't would it be that pollutes lassen increases the life expectancy of the planet. aquitaine many vineyards produce a huge amount of great promise what's left over after pressing the skin pope seeds and stems it can be processed and transformed into raw alcohol and subsequently distilled and hydrated to produce bio ethanol a fuel that's cleaner than fossil alternatives. do we have to say only for it leads

to much lower greenhouse gas emissions than diesel we've measured ninety five percent drop in c o two emissions and minus fifty percent in carbon monoxide and there are practically no particles. the local gas station sells the great based biofuel for eighty five euro cents a liter even though the bus burns it quickly it's comparably cheap along with the philosophic you know we just drove a one hundred ten kilometer exam we used fifty three leaders of fuel it's still a lot more than diesel and i'd imagine it went to nearly two dozen. that's quite a bit of fuel but one that is cleaner and better for the planet for now buses running on great pontus are a good choice for aquitaine. and that's why we have businesses back to survive thank you women across ireland have taken to the streets following a controversial trial that saw a twenty seven year old man acquitted of raping a teenage girl but it's not the man who's got the protesters up in arms it's his

lawyer the reason while the evidence she asked the jury to consider now in her closing argument she said quote you have to look at the way the girl was dressed she was wearing a thong with a lace front soon after women began flooding social media with pictures of domes along with the hash tag this is not consent and protest against the thought that how a woman dresses could be used against her in a rape trial before today's protest over you caught up with susan dillon co-founder of the online protest movement and member of the social media group i believe her ireland she said a woman's choice of underwear has no bearing on sexual consent it's been very upsetting and straight lines for a lot of the am sick tims and survivors on our page. it sends a message that they're somehow they're doing something that's bringing us up upon themselves and they're sending a message and through their clothing or their interactions that. it's telling

their attacker it's ok to do what they've done. and i guess that's putting kills back on them and shame and blame and really hurt. susan dolan speaking to do that there will be keeping an eye on those protests for you throughout the day. all right exciting news for electronic music fans those who are listening to the new album from electrochemical near. it's called infinity and will have its official release on friday. and we have karen holmes that from good of you culture with us to tell us more about karen so this is kind of a sequel to his earlier work that's right this album is coming exactly forty years

after economics back from one nine hundred seventy eight and at that time that album the simple economics was a reflection of his ideas of music of the future and it ended up definitely revolutionizing electronic news the music industry itself so it was all about this emerging era of technology and innovation and now of course forty years later he's carrying on with that idea he calls this one economics on speed so let's have a look at the. the concept albums ten tracks describe the world as it may look in forty years in particular the effects of artificial intelligence and ever increasing digitise ation on mankind central themes. when they did the first that we not. we were all hoping about the future we had the kind of appetite for the future vision for the future where do any of that after

the year two thousand and everything would be because it would fly and everything would be amazing and with you've been slightly disappointed when the two thousand happened and now it seems it seems that we are getting back to this kind of vision of the future. i decided also to release this album with two different covers symbolizing the two potential futures i'm convinced that human beings could only survive the twenty first century if we are evolving good faith both with an environment and technology now aged seventy john doesn't see progress as requiring the sacrifice of the tried and true he brought this insight to the production of his new album he used state of the arts digital production technology on it and mall. for the sick without infinity i used some of my early and they're looking to sizes from the sixty's and seventy's which is great today it's actually

the fact that you can mix in a rather. cool and flexible way and the analog world and the the digital world. admits that he spends more time with machines and technology than rich people even so it could not seem to be nitty stands as a warning we need to be aware of the effects technological progress will have and decide how much room to give it. so you have a jarring with the picture and now we know it is there and you know hearing that it's also kind of equal parts ominous and hopeful isn't it i mean how does the style really change well i'm wondering really if it has i mean he stayed very true to this kind of fascination that he's always had with modernity and technology what it can achieve coupled with this sense of foreboding it's interesting to look back at the original economics perhaps with its famous artwork we can have a look here by the french artist michel michel. called these guys the watchers who

are looking toward the future kind of harbinger of the struggle between humans and they i would have a listen here and he picked up that motif. on the new album cover as we thought. so this was his international break through back in seventy six with the album. and we can listen to those to get a bit of a feel for the world sound. will be familiar to many of our viewers very epic it's really interesting that oxygen was initially rejected by record company after record company because it couldn't have a single it didn't even have a thing or the tracks were all ten minutes long but it went on to sell more than twelve million copies and became one of france's best sellers ever and i mean altogether he sold about eighty million copies of his music over the past fifty years credible yet people often talk about his concerts as such an experience and they really played a part in a success well that's true i believe because first of all because the music is so

mesmerizing but also because he always manages to play in these incredible locations i'm just one example for instance was when he played oxygen that music we just heard at the state university in moscow it was an incredible game we can possibly have a look at that here the russian fans came out in absolute force in front of that in credibly imposing architecture. and in the end you know through me three point five million. people came to that making that the biggest concert in the world i even think you got a guinness book listing for that for the turn of the millennium he played a concert at the great pyramids of giza in egypt to celebrate the dawn of the new millennium at the foot of the only remaining monument to the original seven wonders of the world that was an incredible backdrop. and more recently in two thousand and seventeen you know he played a concert at the foot of the mossad

a fortress in israel live at the dead sea was that good to raise awareness of the plight of the shrinking of the dead sea so he's a bit of activism mixed in there and he's always really good to draw a crowd i'm sure with the economics infinity that the fans are just dying to hear when he's going to go on tour i checked before coming in here it isn't it isn't listed yet but i'm sure we can expect to see him do something quite incredible with should see where he plays and. play such an important role that they certainly do it turns out so from did you cultures thank you so much. we just have time for a minder of the top stories that we're following for you here on g.w. u.k. prime minister theresa may is holding a crunch cabinet meeting to secure backing for a draft deal with the european union it is not certain that all of the ministers will support the agreement earlier may depend of the deal in parliament telling lawmakers that brings the government significantly closer to delivering on the twenty six thousand yes vote to leave the e.u. . and israel's defense minister has been over
