brussels. and in football jersey take on the no lives in the nations of the week tonight the germans have already been relegated from the top division but will be looking for some measure of redemption against the resurgent duff she. walk alongside gearhart alfre said thanks so much for your company everyone we start with unfolding developments in japan where in this sun boss karl is gone has been arrested on suspicion of underreporting millions of dollars in pay and engaging in what the company called other significant misconduct when the sun's c.e.o. you're otto's sick says he's called a board meeting for thursday to approve gongs dismissal as the chairman of the company. all right i introduced him before i get offers from d.w.i.

business in our business we often use the word bombshell yes but this is as big as they come how have markets reacted to the arrest of mr got done quote unquote predictably actually tumbled eleven percent in paris today and the sun's german listed securities front but by ten percent actually quite predictable it shows that investors are really really unhappy about this is quite a significant drop actually and you think well it's just a couple of million missing really but it's not about that it's about a man that's important being charged with misconduct on that level that is really rattling investors and of course the scale is just so make ok let's talk about the man in the eye of the storm who is color scott he's a very charismatic figure in the car industry twenty years ago parent company ran i was sent him to japan to fix to make nisson profitable again he did that within one

year that was quite a dramatic turnaround and we can have a lot now his stunning fall from grace. carlos ghosn is regarded as one of the most dazzling manages in the automotive business after all he has the partnership of redeye mitsubishi on nixon and his belt. but he's been under investigation for months now. the japanese comicon isaan says an internal investigation shows going under reported his income for several years. gone is also said to have used company money privately nissen's board of directors now needs to decide whether it will dismiss him as the head of the japanese comic. according to the japanese newspaper asahi gun is cooperating with authorities and has already been questioned. going has been called in the cost killer since his time at the top of rana and some credit him with bringing nissen's vehicles back on the road to

success after years of high losses and debts. a news story automotive well the ruffled investors my colleague stephen beardsley has looked into the story a bit more closely you know that he's cold mr wrenn oh really could just put it into perspective for us how big of a figure is he in the car industry right i mean here he's a figure that looms large over both the japanese car industry and the european car industry of course as you said renault first one thousand nine hundred sixty one thousand nine hundred nine and then after that he went to nissan big turnarounds at both corporations and then of course the alliance between the two he was really the one who oversaw all that and really made a profit well again both car companies needed something from each other they came together and then he helped put them where they were he really helped sort of nissan especially find how to cut costs and in that way he also sort of got into a lot of sort of business issues that were traditional to japan but this was an outsider could come in and do that. steve if i may ask you so he stands accused of

these allegations accused of misreporting millions of dollars worth of income was he not making enough money was it hubris or was it right i mean. who knows he was a make enough money he was paid about thirteen million when you look at base pay plus bonuses and sense of in this most recent year and that almost i just barely squeaked through the the directors vote in this case and this is actually been an issue controversial issue for their board for several years and in fact france of course owns fifteen percent of renault so they have a vote on this as well they rejected his payment his his his compensation in two thousand and sixteen so it's been an issue about how much he is paid what he's paid is more or less in line with a lot of car companies but in japan it's a lot and as it's climbed and climbed in climbed it's become more and more controversial as it is what does this mean now felt for his son also for the larger alliance with brando and it's a big issue i mean i think that's the course the question going ahead i mean this

this is an alliance that put so much faith and one person he was a legend. figure in business circles and their case studies and what he had done a nissan so of course everyone is shocked as you guys are both to see this figure suddenly fall out you have the french government today saying hey we need to sort of do do the best we can to keep things stable you know there's going to be issues because of course you have ownership both from japanese interests and french interest they're going to have to come together now and talk and work this out of course you have unions and all of these things that are coming together for a difficult time about how do you find a successor to one person who's really been at the helm for so long let's talk some more about that again that's a really tough one to tackle i understand because like you said he's the face of the brand he's this towering figure and he was also so seasoned and experienced is there anybody standing ready in the wings that could take over and fill that position right of course nissan he's already given away as c.e.o. we saw the c.e.o. in the press conference today so that's sort of taken care of in renault he had his

successor waiting in the wings cheered by law if i'm pronouncing that right but that succession was supposed to take place in four years time and so who knows how it's going to look now if he's ready to take us up but also i think the bigger question is what do these companies want out of the person who takes over and fills in his spots the c.e.o. we heard him today apologizing profusely for putting so much faith in one person so do they want another go on probably not but up until maybe a few months ago everyone thought that they did want another go and so there might be another look at exactly who they want to fill those shoes and how they can sort of spread leadership and risk among several people instead of placing it all in one particular key figure right to stephen byers the garrett alfred gentlemen thank you both for helping us on pack this unfolding story thanks a lot. all right we're going to shift our attention now to hong kong where the trial has started against the leaders of a large scale pro democracy a protest so if convicted the convicted they face seven years in prison more than

one hundred democracy activists gathered outside court to see show their support for the defendants kerry campaign alice and dent to fight with the protesters were four years ago tens of thousands took to the streets for nearly three months to protest against interference by china and hong kong's elections all the defendants have pleaded not guilty the trial is scheduled to last for about three weeks and we met one of the activists before he went on trial. john can mon keeps running while he still has the chance he took up the sport when it became clear that he was due to stand trial the social professor and activist faces three counts of what authorities call inciting public nuisance i think it is my priority now to do on me then it is important to tear myself. fellow support the up. why i guess this is the important thing a good spirits when we are facing the trial. he expects to be sentenced to seven

years in jail john is considered one of the masterminds of the umbrella protests of twenty fourteen the umbrellas are a symbol for passive resistance to the hong kong police during a seventy nine day sit in demanding free or elections. however the protests failed since then the political sands have shifted in the city the government is now taking more action against unwelcome views. human rights groups call it a campaign of intimidation by the chinese authorities. they're sending a clear signal that the. that the space for civil society to raise sensitive questions about hong kong's future in hong kong is is. shrinking the public prosecutor's office refused to speak to doit chevelle

about chance upcoming trial. john himself is pessimistic more protest events have been canceled and a foreign journalist has also been expelled i don't see any of this in the near future that we could get democracy this is the time to be friends i'll sell to defend our existing freedom and our rights and we need to strengthen our civil society. john kinman expects to be convicted but for now he runs while he's still free. but just for how long we have josh along with us now he's the secretary general of the democratic opposition party josh alicia one of the leaders of the so-called umbrella revolution back in twenty fourteen a very warm welcome joshua thanks for joining us you were jailed last year for your role in the occupy central a movement nine other people are currently facing charges of causing a public nuisance but the case is about more than that

yes we just are aware on how they just create a short effects and hong kong it world woman rights and human rights and whether especially i'm the one who are in jail last year and nine elite us might face trial for more than a month and will face their thirty and jared's than this almost a year and we guess it will announce on next year january factory so is just showed at beijing it specially press and she just had a hot line approach towards hong kong as that full free election and human rights. now mr wong the occupy central movement brought central hong kong's are set on kong financial district to a standstill for months back in two thousand and fourteen but beijing and didn't really change its policies and i just wonder you know looking back of course its hind sight is twenty twenty but do you feel that your action and this court case

are really worth it specifically when you're not really changing anything it seems . as a political prisoners are no regret at all and i believe my teammates were doing ninety does that of facing trial they also have no regret at all especially if we realize that knowledge china's government is the largest before retiring region in the world and with shop parlor all practicing to try these imperatives so what we hope is the lack of growth to aware that we would not step backwards and we will not is silence is specially under pressure and even if there is beijing we have mobilized more than one hundred thousand people occupy on the street or seventy nine days and one of the all ten and in the future even will play a hard life was due to us we do recognize the importance will call and he will in this long come back will they would they would get back. so mr wrong i mean you

know considering what you've experienced and where you stand right now hong kong and china have a one country two systems agreement guaranteeing of course that hong kong has freedom of speech do you feel that china is still honoring that agreement. i live try there really are all in the one country two systems because this is principle already erodes to be one country one and a half system and when we recognize those says the whole call and a cause it isn't all my home tongue is come from that and that's our treaty signed by will pay and try to government even less so it's pretty simple but it is drawn decoration i believe international community must keep bites keep their eyes in hong kong your view on what's going on in this international find it so senseless. joshua long a secretary general of the democratic opposition party of talking to us from hong

kong thank you sir and britain prime minister theresa may is under mounting pressure over brings it with opposition from her own conservative members of parliament intensifying me is urging her critics to put their differences aside saying the future of the nation is at stake she has been making the case for her brings a deal to business leaders at the annual conference of the confederation of british industry she told them that under the deal britain would regain control over the immigration of skilled workers. and it appears you can correspond to bear get my ass spoke with c.b.i. director general caroline fairburn and asked her how desperate the british industry is to get the regs the deal through and brussels. well it is a momentous time in our country because we do now have a proposal on the table it is not perfect so for business for british business and i think the business in europe as well we would have liked more certainty we would

like more of a guarantee of frictionless trade in the future but we're in a world of compromise and we welcome the progress that has been made we must pull back from the cliff edge and for no deal and this proposal would enable us to do that so we think we should back progress and move on this seems to be quite a disconnect between business and then m.p.'s to just up the thames a lot of m.p.'s are plotting to bring to reason a down because they think it's not good enough these are very difficult times here in terms of politics in terms of the fever on nature decisions and there are some very big issues here around sovereignty around other things that people care very deeply about and we as business understand that but what we have to do is to think about jobs of prosperity across our country our manufacturing sectors of food retailing we need to talk about what matters for them and we are very clear in our conversations with m.p.'s these are the decisions that will shape your reach and

your part of the u.k. in the future make the right decision for the future of the people who work in your local region this is progress we should take it we should build on it i should move on and would you advocate for a second referendum since you are so for remaining in europe. we have to work with the cart in front of us at this as business we have to be pragmatic we have to be realists and we have to recognise that this is where the negotiation has brought us so far. understand the views of those who are asking for a second referendum we do now know much more we know about the hard choices involved in practice it but the pathway to that is very unclear it's very murky on the risk of tipping into an accidental no deal on the way is very high that makes us believe that this is the decision that we should be taking as a country now to take this progress to unlock the transition period to work towards

a good future deal and to move on and how bad would it be for british business if you didn't get a deal at all we are absolutely categorical that a no deal for british business would be a very very bad outcome we have so many manufacturing businesses with supply chains to cross borders they work on just in time policies we have a northern ireland border which must remain frictionless that is not easy to achieve so from our point of view no deal would be a very bad outcome it would affect jobs and prosperity all across the country around seven thank you very much. the un today has been highlighting the global health costs that stemmed from a lack of toilets more than half the world's population don't have access to or toilet on the situation is especially bad in nigeria and as you know we use it increase found out some people are managing to cash in on the crisis you can see them everywhere in lagos people relieving themselves outdoors in the open one of

every four nigerians has no access to a proper toilet. it's been sued if you courts force what you do is you go to the. streets ourselves. by the way they release themselves this is to have been to those of us living here because out in the open everyone can see them but the government should at least build a cover so we can see them. fight. it's very difficult for us we have to go to the river to some woman who inside the brackets and then poured into the river it's not good. twenty million people live in this overcrowded mega city bad hygiene and the lack of sufficient toilets and danger in people's health in the poorer districts ironically more people have access to mobile phones than toilets. these kind of warnings can be found all over

lagos yet many people are ignoring it because there's no alternatives but the lack of toilets is also an opportunity for some businesspeople. near a bus station jeremiad jerry installed some porta potties now he makes about thirty euros a day number one costs ten cents number two will cost you twenty five cents is it rude business because. you are you came here you want to use your safe you want to drain it in you to receive you from a. disease and you really need to say oh my guess is something to most of the time you receive them are sad really see these images here can let me just like to ease my safe here and they say for a magister more if you begin to feel it gradually gradually you re you can't be displaced this is where jarius toilets are produced one reckon while this company

is the only one and nigeria that will smoke by the toilets it employs thirty one people and business is booming with a population of almost two hundred million nigeria provides a huge market for his product still i can while it is troubled by the current situation and says the government alone is not to blame but we need to begin to change the mentality of people because even if you see just about a dozen people know that if you even told them why is it that those who tell you would prefer to go into the bush that they do love. the bridge you could bring this doesn't sound which is no good for us so as it is down just after we just need to put on disk. strict measures to stop all this open dedication and sanitation the governments did scrape an emergency plan but up until now almost nothing has changed the toilet crisis in lagos obviously remains a problem that needs an audience solution.

in tennis germany's alexander deserve has stunned world number one novak djokovic to win the season ending a.t.p. finals in london on joke of it she was the favorite and had dropped a set in the entire tournament before sunday's final but he was no match for its arraf who became the first german to win the prestigious tournament since boris becker back in one thousand nine hundred ninety five alexander's serve was hoisted confidence and it showed in the opening stages. after breaking novak djokovic to serve three of still to six full victory in the all important first set. her third. he turned on the stall in the second set with a delightful right of shots. of them saving his best for last. night of my.

mum believing evidence i was the biggest shot of that of a first of all i want to congratulate you know book the great week again not only this week but you know how you play the second of this year we maybe never seen it before i mean you barely lost the match i'm actually very thankful you lost one to me today. the death of highlights of sarah's fledgling career but one he may eclipse in twenty nineteen. all right now to football were a jury have been relegated from the top division of the nation's league but there is still a lot at stake in tonight's match against the netherlands the dutch can qualify for the final four with a point well germany coach your king live needs a strong performance from his team as he aims to show the world a revival is on the horizon. temperatures have plummeted in germany but in lurve is hoping to reignite the fire in his team after a disastrous year

a convincing win over the netherlands would help germany get back on track. on sheer it was a difficult year there were a lot of disappointments torsional and a half that the year got off to a poor start with defeats to brazil and then austria team management were also criticised for the way they dealt with measured controversial meeting with turkish president paddle on and then came the embarrassing first round exit at the world cup the germany coach also faced criticism for being too slow to implement change. it's important to learn lessons from years like this and then take action what can be done better and what are the solutions to. this is what the future could look like leroy senay. brand and says. players born in one thousand nine hundred five or ninety six you're sure commish is the same age and has already played for germany thirty seven times it's all mine and. it's my goal

to improve and take responsibility. but the coach doesn't come to me and ask for advice. he has a lot more experience than. the ship may lift a magazine this is tomas miller also has more experience he's one of only half a dozen world cup winners left in the squad he's on the verge of his hundredth appearance for germany on their flight because at times in muted some players said they were taught and needed the breather but thomas miller is always here and gives everything for the team he's almost played one hundred games in a row he deserves a lot of respect and if he plays against the netherlands then you get a beer from a after the game and sold invites. it's not exactly champagne but nobody expects that after the year that germany have had.

an braving the cold outside the stadium in guessing here where tonight's game will be taking place is due to be a correspondent jonathan harding good to see you jonathan germany unfortunately already relegated in the nation's a league but this game is still important for team germany. it absolutely is this important for this team to show that they can still play the quality of football that's expected from them we haven't seen very much of that in turn eighteen so it's about time they got a good performance and it's important for your group to show that he's the right coach going forward into twenty nine hundred nineteen to twenty twenty but it is also important for germany's twenty twenty euros hope because after all their ranking in the nation's league will affect best seeding for the tournament so there is if not everything to play for quite a lot to play so is this a make or break match for you he live. i don't think so i think the window for you to leave also no longer be germany's head coaches possed it was

a very small time that germany could have made that decision but now he will be the head coach going forward who probably that coach for the twenty twenty euros it's about getting the best out of this team in that time under him right there sticking with their man now let's talk about the debts a big turnaround for them with a semifinal on the cards how did they do that. but i really have to get around they are in many ways an example for germany going forward they finally improved they've moved on from some of their older players they've decided to go forward and not look back which is something that germany should do themselves that was an excellent result for them and the last time these two teams met nobody having to do the same here to noise and after all if that does happen it be an opportunity for the netherlands side to show germany in germany how to play football and that's something that you don't see very often jonathan who's your money on. i think i have to go to germany why not you got to end the year better than they started it right jonathan harding i'm going to hold you to it

i'm going to be. rooting for holland but that's a whole nother matter thank you so much i mean for i let you go want to remind you of our top story that we're tracking for you this hour authorities in japan have arrested the chairman of nissan carlos gone the news comes after an internal investigation found under were ported his income by millions of dollars and so on says it's terminating his contract and dawn is credited with leading a dramatic turnaround at innocent over the last two decades. it's a massive story will be continuing to track that for you we'll have more at the top of the hour.
