fifty million people worldwide are expected to watch the televised. in india the hindu nationalist government led by prime minister narendra modi is on a renaming spree cities with islamic names have had them changed to more hindu friendly ones to find out more are india correspondent michelle just while travelled to one city in northern india three. months i've made the north to study the feds i bought neighborhoods and monuments my heart he's a historian who grew up in the city. he says was built by the a muslim dynasty that set up an empire in the indian subcontinent in the sixteenth century signs of classic islamic architecture are everywhere in the winter but. once they started building the city the name it flies about. the founders were from iran and then it flies about half the city in iran to preserve those memories of.
8:10 am
this historic name however is no more. has now been renamed local hindu nationalist government. residents like maybe this change is an attempt to erase the city's islamic past. also runs a bilingual weekly in hindi and or due to the city's. religious tensions on the surface in two thousand and twelve riots broke out between the city's hindus and muslims the newspapers office was ransacked and it stopped publishing for a month. the mosque next door was attacked as well for the recent dreaming of the city the fragile peace between hindus and muslims. is a hatred for one community even an effort to raise the identity of everything built
8:11 am
by the community why are they only changing these names. the move also comes with political overtones just a few kilometers away from a city already exists. it's a site for hindus it's believed to be the setting of epic. one of the main texts and. that is the main reason the local government led by prime minister. supports the name change. or wanting the. it is so much wrong as was going on here you remove these places of great coup true underlip its importance to the hindu community also in the distance on is that we've been hearing and reading about the fountains of years. but this isn't all you will because no one for twenty six years ago it was the demolition of
8:12 am
a mosque in this city that spock's some of the was hindu muslim riots that independent india has seen two thousand people were killed across the country and the issue continues to be every live just and political flashpoint. back in pairs about precedence don't care about the political up on top of. the name change mean the has practical implications. whether that was needed that is there is no advantage to this in a tourist wants to come to a phase about and finds i audience that will confuse it for the old city if i order the negative there to be we're going to going out we're going to go. see if the government has made for good decision to rename the city i want to go there was no hesitation among our hindu or our muslim brothers when i was in amman i am not liking it that the name is seized to iowa dad because this is my book please and all my documents i've even i have to change. now more than a million residents of the district i left with one question.
8:13 am
doesn't remove the menu identity as well. you know just while they're reporting from india now here in germany they just wanted to help and they may end up having to pay for it church community isn't ordinary citizens who offer to be guarantors of refugees arriving in germany have received letters from job centers and authorities with someone pleasant they're being asked to foot the bill for refugees lodging and social security costs often to the tune of several thousand euros. a month. three times a week talk to get volunteers to help the homeless western german city of mines. it's reached it's important to how people in and around the world fight a principal lives by he's traveled to syria many times as a medical volunteer and witnessed the desperation there when the country's civil war with and he agreed to sign financial guarantees for young syrians to help make
8:14 am
it possible for them to enter germany then to initiate violence and they were told if you don't fight with us with i-s. or assad you and put you in prison. so then it becomes an ethical humanitarian obligation to give these people a chance to live in safety and mentioned. in height leaving. one of the eight refugees trouble is gagged the young syrian says he will be forever grateful to the german doctor. and clique that we're at war i couldn't stay there. but now german or thora he's a charging travel for the refugees living costs that could be one hundred sixty thousand euros which he believed the government would pay since the refugees he vouched for had official status should be nothing else i assume that if someone does not gain official refugee status then i would bear the risk and be financially responsible ones otherwise when this was suggested by politicians i would be
8:15 am
financially responsible only up to the time refugee status was officially granted after a change to the law in twenty sixteen guarantors now have to pay up to three years board and lodging regardless of whether the refugees are officially recognized or not after numerous protests and complaints the government is now trying to find a solution the ministry of labor says until that point that claims on current tolls will not be enforced but travel it has already received a demand for almost fourteen thousand euros from a debt collection company the invoice threatens further action if the money is not paid when asked the all thought he's told us this threat was a clerical error. despite his doctor's income try but says he can't afford to pay these bills and fears the costs could ruin him financially but still he doesn't regret his decision to help syrians. if i had to do it over again i would make the same decision i see as my or our social responsibility to be there for people whose
8:16 am
lives are in danger whose existence is threatened and the existential. producer mentioned. travertine hopes that he and the other refugee guarantors will not have to pay anything else he believes would mean all thora he's making individual citizens responsible for the costs of immigrants right to asylum. or here for more is d. w. political correspondent. tell us why are the refugees guarantors being presented with these bills now you have to say that these bills have been issued for years but if you look back we've just heard. period of three years for which these guys aren't responsible and if you look back three years as the end of two thousand and fifteen when a huge number of refugees cam into germany so three is off to that these bills are now being issued i think in a larger number we also have to look at the fact that these are very special kinds of refugees these are situations where people are being taken directly from their
8:17 am
countries of origin into germany through the money through the guarantees that these organizations and individuals have issued so it involves any maybe something like sixty thousand refugees and maybe six seven thousand qur'an toles but those people are really up at the moment being given claims amounting to millions in the end given the fact that these bills are being presented now does that indicate that the german government is taking a tougher line on helping refugees legally it's a very difficult situation in fact there was a toughening of this regulation in two thousand and sixteen and that's one of the reasons why these bills are also being issued but it's still being resolved in the courts and so far the german authorities have said that they are not going to enforce these payments at the moment they are looking for a solution but i think in general in germany you can say that on the political level the openness towards refugees and asylum seekers has been reduced quite
8:18 am
significantly in recent years on the other hand you have to say that within german society the refugees that are here are being looked after very well are being integrated and a lot of work is still being done. in the background one might say but the situation in general is under control and it's going quite well thank you so much for filling us in d.w. correspondent political correspondent. well the concentration of carbon dioxide c o two in the earth's atmosphere has reached a new record high that's according to the latest report just released by the world meteorological organization the u.n. agency has issued a stark warning that humankind's window of opportunity to limit global warming is almost closed. the warning comes from a report issued every year by the un's world meteorological organization but this year the scientists say the message is more urgent than ever before the report
8:19 am
indicates carbon dioxide levels reached four hundred five parts per million last year a level last same three to five million years ago. and at that time the reconstruction tells us that they ever each mean surface temperature was two or three degrees higher than now and the sea level was ten to twenty ten to twenty meters higher the annual report gauges the concentration of greenhouse gases as opposed to the amount that's released scientists measure what's left in the air after some of the harmful gases have been absorbed by nature the report says the warming impact of those gases is increasing but despite the alarming data scientists remain optimistic so i believe that this new knowledge we have with all the information we are putting on table with the community is behind us science and science policy and private what we will be able to make it but they stress that
8:20 am
change must come quickly we need to act now will need to take actions to decrease the growth rates many scientists are now looking to the u.n. climate talks in poland next month in the hope of finally finding effective ways to end the fossil fuel era. retailers are gearing up for what they see is the most important time of year that is right terry and how do you get people to spend their anticipated christmas with a good deal now a fifty five inch t.v. set for under four hundred dollars smart speakers for just twenty five dollars black friday is associated with large discounts the shopping frenzy was invented in the united states but much of the rest of the world has now jumped on board here in germany the country's retail association expects people to spend two point four billion euros on black friday and cyber monday that's a fifteen percent increase compared to last year many retailers are now taking
8:21 am
these two days as seriously as the traditional summer and winter clearance. for more black friday i have lars hauser here is my colleague of business lars you've lived in the us for quite some time and seen many black fridays what's your take on the shopping frenzy was just getting bigger and crazier closed off every year with people lining up in the early evening hours to be in the store really at the stroke of midnight and it's an absolute stamp peak then but this whole theater as you might call it from just seeing the pictures obviously speaks to an economic truth that is not a very good one speaks tells you a lot of consumers in america many of whom are living paycheck to paycheck and for many people in america black friday is an important day because it's really the only day where those bargains where they can buy a pair of sneakers or a new t.v. or so is it worth it for retailers it is yes and no it is definitely when it comes to revenues because black friday drives in the crowds and of course it's about
8:22 am
market share it's about those revenue numbers but those definitely come at a price and that of course is a razor thin margins that's really not much money in terms of profits to be made that particular day and next friday is catching on all around the world but it's not that much of a big deal in europe for example yes that's because we have. an entirely different shopping culture here you could not imagine stores in germany let's say to open at midnight or so and that's probably a good thing it has to do with stronger labor laws here as well retailers in retail workers in the europe and most countries of course in the world have regular working hours in america they don't they have no guaranteed hours and they have low wages and they're not given much of an option here they have to work throughout and throughout the holiday weekend that they would probably spend with their family rather but they're basically told you have to show up at midnight and work thought the night where you going to be fired and lars briefly how does the whole online business factor in here of course that's a big thing over the last couple of years and just like every day retail also on
8:23 am
black friday or cyber monday online takes a bigger and bigger slice off the pile here if you just think of eleven eleven here singles day recently the online version of black friday coming out of china on shopping day as billions made of course online too but it also comes with a little bit of a problem here cyber security experts of course warned that these bargains can make you blind and that people have to really be watchful and not click on any links that apparently lead to bargains but might just be a phishing scam laws are keeping an eye on the most important retail season of the year thank you so much you're welcome. soundman is a favorite staple during the upcoming holiday season here in europe and the supply sometimes seems endless now that's because huge salmon farms have cropped up in the middle of the north atlantic far far away for most of the people who eat the salmon join us for a visit to the pharaoh islands and arkie publico located halfway between norway and
8:24 am
iceland only fifty thousand people live here it's an autonomous country of the kingdom of denmark but unlike denmark does not belong to the european union and that's why people on the islands are looking forward to brag that britons are already the most important consumers of pharaoh solomon and hopes are the u.k. outside of the european union will make trade much simpler. not a place you'd be likely to seek your fortune this rocky outcrop in the north atlantic but the farrow islands are blooming and if anyone is responsible for that it seems on peter foster every morning he's out in the bay he used to be out at sea for days on end and the islanders still do some deep sea fishing but the real boom is driven by salmon aquaculture one hundred thousand salmon swim in each of these cages worth millions of euros their biggest enemy is the salmon louse a small parasite daily checks are needed to prevent epidemics today everything's ok
8:25 am
salmon farming has drastically changed cmon peter's life. every day which you don't when you're at sea. at home with my wife and child every day it's much better than you can earn a lot of money here. the pharaoh islanders are widely seen as free spirits independent stubborn and successful they have one of the world's oldest parliaments and their own prime minister actually your highness and he thinks it's important the tea and his government can take their own decisions way outside brussels way but the british are effectively coming over to their side with breaks it is seen as more of an opportunity than a threat on the ferro island. we're counting on a free trade agreement with the british for one simple reason great britain is our most important european market we don't have a free trade agreement with the e.u.
8:26 am
that's why we want to have one with the british or. the big money is on the salmon that's most evident and back of frost with a thousand employees it's now the biggest company here the new headquarters was inaugurated a year ago back in frosty a stock exchange listed in norway's capital oslo it makes millions in profits. andrius peterson manages its base production he's got a plausible explanation for the salmon boom. one thing's for certain people around the world are eating ever most sushi is one of the most important reasons behind the surge in demand and the salmon price increases of the last five to six years six. pack a frost some seventy million euros into its new facility from here it's fisher exported to china the u.s. russia and of course to great britain. and
