kind of a war must continue i'm on the touchy madrid to have company international courts are growing for a deescalation the most dangerous crisis between russia and ukraine in recent t.s. the standoff with spot after russian investors fied on boarded and captured three ukrainian ships on sunday ukraine's reacted by introducing temporary matia no in parts of the country. only i spoke to russian military analyst bill fagan how in moscow i asked him to explain why russia is taking such a tough line and refusing to release a ukrainian c.l.s. and the best brush up there and he is very very concerned that a trade with the great young plans to build the naval base in. their defense on the sea a puzzle and that and they are actually afraid that nato ships may come to visit and overtake this the president closing the route for russian say neighbors ships

that right now move to the costly into the black sea to the mediterranean and back again ships carrying long range and i can even better cruise missiles so that. would be very bad and that would be a good use of the appearance of such a base most likely see it as a very very grave situation that development in moscow and that actually in the caribbean pres that the trial for russia talking about a mosque fighting a ground operation to take over. the us. take this it easy. and push close. those are seeking to create an entirely and that's apparently the real piece of why he owes martial law preparing for such a possible and they and that threat i think is a real there's a possibility of a big war maybe in the coming weeks or couple of months of winter war if we had

russia and ukraine outward. now to get the ukrainian perspective i'm joined by our correspondent nick connelly in kiev we want to make off those comments by the military analysts felgenhauer in moscow that russia believes ukraine is starting to build a naval base in the region and therefore a moscow is taking such a tough stance as well as he indicated there might be a conflict he talked about war in fact the train the two countries in the coming months. well amritsar pavel felgenhauer is not someone is no someone who's known for his very forthright predictions it is true that ukraine is trying to reinforce its naval positions in the sea as of that's having lost most of its naval capacity through the russian annexation of crimea but at the moment it's a very uneven standoff ukraine's naval capelli capabilities in terms of personnel and resources is hugely weaker than russia's just to give you indication of that

the three ships that were impounded by the russians on sunday between the three of them they only had just over twenty crew on board in terms of his predictions of a major escalation the conflict well president poroshenko yesterday in motivating his decision to introduce a martial law did speak of intelligence that suggests that the russians were massing their troops along ukraine's frontiers we haven't seen that but he's spoken of that although analysts here do say this would really mean a ground breaking change in the nature of the conflict because the ok because the separatists the pro russian separatists on their own would not be in a cafe in the capacity to bring that change about that would have to involve russia directly fighting ukraine something we haven't seen in donbass so no direct indications yet but it is a very dangerous conflict and a dangerous standoff right now. it is of a fluid situation and of a tense situation as you said nic colony in the ukrainian capital kiev thank you

very much for giving us your perspective. miss articulate some of the stories making news around the mexico says it's deported almost one hundred central american migrants who try to illegally cross from quanah into the united states on sunday at the same time it's called on the u.s. to comprehensively investigate its use of tear gas fired across the border in the margins to. san diego. french president mccall says this country was shot down fourteen office fifty eight nuclear reactors by the year two thousand and thirty five made the pleasure of the speech leaving out his roadmap of france's transition to cleaner energy across blueprint comes amid ongoing protests over a few tax hike aimed at financing green initiatives. now scientists around the ones have condemned a chinese doctor who claims to have created the world's first genetically edited

babies he says he ordered the d.n.a. of twin girls born earlier this month to try and make them resistant to infection with hiv but he claims but his claims have prompted a fierce backlash from the scientific community including in china many have cost doubt on the breakthrough and questioned its ethics. his study has not yet been published but academics around the world say quaid has crossed the line the geneticist is said to have changed the d.n.a. of two babies born earlier this month through regular in vitro fertilization. claims the father of the two babies is hiv positive and that he edited the genes while there were just embryos to make them resistant to the virus. i feel a strong response be to. that it's not just to make a first father also make it. example there we have some want some well

christine this if it's not me it's someone else questions are now being asked about the credibility of haitian quake claims along with his motivations did he simply want to further scientific research on the topic even though scientists worldwide have so far agreed not to test gene editing on embryos i spotted i made he wanted to play god i don't know i think doing these kinds of tests on humans is absolutely inexcusable we have no idea about what side effects there might be what might happen to these children in the next fifteen to twenty years doing these kinds of experiments on humans is beyond reason and ethically completely unacceptable the gene editing technology used in the experiment was initially developed to treat inherited diseases it involves changing the genetic make up of plant life animals and humans. it's a special proceeding that can be precisely programmed to take out and tired

snippets of d.n.a. . mutated genes which can cause diseases for example can be completely switched off. genes can not only because it out but they can also be repaired or even replaced. using the technology on human embryos however has so far been taboo not all research is feel bound by these ethical traditions for some it may be more important to prove they're at the forefront of gene therapy technology. by mix i meant hundred to three shells in my opinion this represents a reckless human experiment i'm in full can neither the risks nor the benefits of being properly established by society hasn't been consulted it's medically not necessary the whole thing was announced a day before a major international summit on the topic is

a provocation. the case has also caused an uproar in china more than one hundred scientists have signed an open letter denouncing it as risky and unjustified adding that at home the reputation and development of the by medical community in china. well let's talk about this controversial story a little bit more i'm joined by derek williams from science desk and martin gak from religion and ethics a department both can do both if you let me start with you derek the first of four how schilke and levy of this claim made by the scientists that he's genetically edited these because there's been no independent scientific that if acacia so far has that you know there hasn't this hasn't followed the normal past generally you would have had a publication with peer review first of all before if the researchers made basically a claim online and as of now we don't have any real hard evidence to back it up although it does have the background and he does have the experience to have

carried it out what do you know this scientists insist that what he's done with these babies is to protect them from the condition in this case i.v. so he's actually says he's protecting them what's wrong about that well at first blush obviously nothing i mean one would think this is quite commendable but the fact is that this is a technology that is sort of at its very inception stage and furthermore the problem is that. there is absolutely no way to measure what the impact of any one sort of gene operation will be i mean very mind that you would be releasing these people into the population provided that they grow up and this to this tweens actually reproduce and have children of their own they will actually be perpetrating this genetic form and i mean bringing genetic pull it into we don't know if this has actually taken place or not but to judge by the reaction of the international scientific community i think we can assume that everybody understands that this is a possibility a serious possibility this is scientists that is stable of doing it and i think he's correct in saying that if it's not him it's in maine and that this. going to

happen so a lot of the question here as far as i'm concerned it's about once again regulation how are we going to regulate this kind of technology if you have serious ethical concerns about this the what about you derek as a scientist i agree completely the technology is there it's been there actually for the last eight years and it's been clear that we could use this technology to do this we haven't up until now we've been doing mostly things with plants with animals but the possibility has always been open people have been that's why it's been a tad of if things only become taboo when they become possible and this is definitely been a possibility and so the question is now i think that what we need to be moving towards both the scientific community and the world as a whole is global regulation of this kind of technology where we really it's not no more the national level where things are possibly allowed as is the case in china within certain guidelines there or there or at least not completely forbidden whereas in other places they might be and i think it's worthwhile sort of pointing

out that nobody should think that this is something that be can be pulled back i mean if as a matter of fact this technology is there and it's being used there is no way that this will stop being used because we actually think it should and i mean this is precisely why we need international regulations because a technology is already there and is usable if you think about regulation is often the boundaries between scientific discovery and ethically concerns a sometimes bill so how does one regulate this going to develop then i think that this is this is becoming it's not sometimes more and more often that the technology and ethics are are coming into conflict with one another we need and we obviously from my point of view we need to to answer meant most of the ethical concerns or many of the ethical concerns before we begin to employ the technology in certain ways unfortunately it generally tends to happen in the other direction. they're very clearly i mean i think that what we actually find in the scientific discourse and in scientific tradition in the way that we implement it in technology because bear in mind that most people out there in the world will actually see science

through technical. elements i mean some somebody will want to get pregnant not be able and then they will find a scientific development in in vitro fertilization or something like that this kind of things tend to happen in research that there are there is like we engage in certain practices and then we think ok is this the best way or do we actually need to put different forms of you know different controls this danger i think that it element here is studied has a certain macabre aspect i mean there is something frankenstein about this story somebody that has somehow got to the human being i think that that's disingenious i mean it just helps to actually blur the problem which is that as a matter of fact we have a very powerful technology we don't have a very clear understanding of where it could lead what it could mean but it's something that for us could be actually an incredibly powerful tool so we have a responsibility sorry we have a responsibility to make good use of it so to say then directly you yourself on a specialist in biology and you know that this area of genetic science is very very competitive with scientists looking at least to do each other how do you see this

venue see this development going because as a scientist said in our report it's not me somebody else would have done it i think that that's probably true i also think that you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater if you if you'll excuse me in this particular instance crisper house technology is. an incredibly powerful tool for doing a wide wide range of things including doing things like providing plants with drought resistance we are able to go in and think or with evolution and things that might have taken many many generations to happen in the past we can now make happen very very quickly and very very easily but just because we can make them happen doesn't mean that we should particularly when it involves the human race and possibly the future of humanity rights the implications are huge both on the ethical front as well as on the scientific front desk williams from a science disk and not in doc religious and ethics affairs correspondent thank you very much for suspected for. i think that.

general motors plans to lay off up to fourteen thousand factory and white collar workers in north america and possibly close five plants fifteen percent of gems entire what force is affected by the plants now the coal maker owns iconic brands like chevrolet and cadillac but it says it now wants to focus on more autonomous and electric vehicles on the move has sparked anger from washington but g.m. said waning demand for traditional sedans and rising costs prompted the massive cuts and the steel tariffs introduced by the u.s. this year haven't helped either president donald trump was quick to slam g.m.'s decision to cut its american workforce. well we don't like it i believe they'll be opening up shop they go to work i was very job i spoke with her when i heard there were loads and then i said you know this country's done

a lot for general motors you better get back get there soon but no i go echo of trump sentiments from canadian prime minister justin trudeau disappointed by g.m.'s decision regarding their clients in the us work as part of the global restructuring our thoughts are with those those whose jobs will be affected and their families. but unhappiest of all are affected general motors stuff i've been here twenty years i've been through closure in scarborough i've been through a closure in london i moved my family choice for this company and they do this to me stir. the five g.m. plants to halt production next year laying off three thousand three hundred production workers in the u.s. and about three thousand in canada the company also plans to trim its white collar stuff by eight thousand. and with me in the studio now is stephen bits me from business good to see you stephen explain to us a little bit more about what is behind this is the rights of all and i think it's

important to say has this. it's going to be idled they're not going to be shut down completely that they're going to be further union talks that could actually see some these production lines continue that's not uncommon to see that happen i think there are really three factors one to look at behind this one is customer demands they're changing people want fewer passenger cars that's just weight is in the u.s. they want trucks they want as you viz gas prices are low they're not interested in passenger cars second is the car companies are preparing for the future they're looking at all thomas they're looking at electric mobility electric mobility actually requires fewer workers on these ground floors and so they know they're going to need less in the future and then third you do have the challenge of the special challenges that the trade war writes we know that these tariffs on steel are cutting into g.m. imports now most of their steel is from the u.s. but it is hitting their bottom line as well right that say it didn't benefit from trump's much touted the big fanfare about tax cuts i mean one point five trillion dollars right there was last year they did benefit like most major companies did

and i think the figures i've seen were that they've saved something like one hundred fifty million dollars in federal taxes this year but there's also reports that they've actually lost out on the tax cut because it allows them to write off less of their previous years losses so they're actually at a net loss the point is the tax cuts don't translate perfectly to more jobs more cars more savings all of these things and that's a frustration that trump of course he wants be able to demand things demand jobs man things of companies at the same time he wants to operate this free trade economy or free market economy and that's the tension that you see with him i mean as you mentioned had a blow to chomp a blow to all of that rhetoric of america first however is this a uniquely american problem or are we seeing this in other parts of the walls and certainly it's not unique to america i mean you see across europe for example that there is the popularity of crossovers and s.u.v.s is actually rising here too in other countries and then you also see that carmakers are preparing for the future autonomous electric their reports out of volkswagens actually planning on cutting

thirty thousand jobs. over a number of years it won't be quite as dramatic as this but you see it in other countries you see it everywhere it's about preparing for the future and they just handle it different ways stephen bits me from business thanks for putting that well into perspective for us. the german government plans to roll out the latest generation of no fall phone tech across large parts of the country but is plans to leave temp centive gemini uncovered by the new ultra fast five g. critics say that it's on the acceptable demanding providers it should be forced to do better with high penalties and i'll phone companies aren't you covering every nook and cranny of the country would be too expensive. autonomous driving it's just one example of the kind of technology that only functions with super speedy highly reactive wireless networks where the funny g. is the name given to the cellular technology behind it the german government wants to introduce it to large parts of the country by twenty twenty two deciding on that

and that's why we've introduced regulations relating to out of bonds federal and state highways country roads waterways and railways this will lead to an improvement in coverage. despite those plans some ten percent of germany is set to remain without any coverage at all. and almost eight hundred thousand cell towers to roll out five g. across germany that's not possible since it would cost over one hundred thirty billion euros that's a scale we can't afford. that's drawn criticism from german businesses setting their sights on digital innovation and people in rural areas with no coverage will not be able to use other carriers free of charge like they can when roaming abroad . i'll have more business news here in italy to first there amrita force nice. that's right helena champions league football is back tonight sides from all over europe a scrambling to see their ticket to the knockout stages chris harrington from the

sports desk is here to talk us through all of that welcome chris you now biden unique and coach nico cool batch of bullets in action and a lot at stake for both the team and the coach that's right well domestically buyers are coming off what else i can call it a comedic performance you know they suffered a draw at the hands of fortuna dusseldorf are promoted domestically you know in the brain as they. watch and company are currently in their second rough patch he himself said if feels like he's stuck in a bad movie i think the title will have to be where's the defense you know we have a little bit more on byron munich and nico botches dilemma in a report let's take a look at. our coach on thin ice on saturday by and were held to a home draw against the league's second was team of byron president only honus branded the performance slapstick refusing to comment on nico crowe but his future

beyond tuesday's champions league game on monday a prickly coach insisted he has the backing of his players well the ship so much. for example i've had conversations with several prior as the ones i spoke to told me what i'm about to tell you this our relationship is exceptionally good so so not just with the players that i spoke to by the way they will talk amongst themselves you know. for the beleaguered by and side opponents been. may look an easy target having lost two of the last three league games in portugal but by and missing five key players through injury and their own mistakes have been their killie's heel this season you're going to see a new dish. we analyze every game and we can see where we're making mistakes unfortunately their mistakes that we keep repeating. throwing everything out and

starting from scratch isn't possible when you only have fourteen fair play is. buy and have never before lost to benfica as the motion for era shrinks needs a win to breathe easy. a coach on team i says to be hurt in our bullets chris under how much pressure is nico cole but you know i think a letter of dismissal is in draft mode right now in the byron munich you know mailbox account because he is in a must win situation because he himself in the piece be heard has been saying the players just aren't quite digesting his game plan and i think it will be a performance over outcome situation if they do perform tight at the back like he is criticises to be i think there could be some hope because kovach is a self-proclaimed fighter but there are reports and whispers out there there are rumors that arsene vega a coach from arsenal in the premier league has been rumored to possibly fill the void we all know he's been german and possibly that it is

a done most recently driven champions league success so both of those coaches i think are possibilities but first things first tonight nico botches in a must win situation i think he's not the only coach under pressure at the moment want to. especially when it's a self-proclaimed of course you know manchester united has been suffering from slow start syndrome i call it you know they won their last time out in the champions league against you they but domestically. they lost a city their rival and then they're coming off a normal draw against crystal palace where they only had five shots one goal so just a burrito in the classic self you know criticize his players and said they're going to have to have more heart and desire to perform and he wants his guys to go out there and play like they're in a knockout game situation here's a little bit of more of what marino had to say probably you or the fans they seemed . just told him to start slow told him to play nice and easy and

and wait to see what happened or to be losing for them to react is exactly the opposite saying i wanted him to start strong i want to team to to have a go immediately and is a big threat the chemistry is not perfect between the new and his team but moving on chris what else should be looking out for tonight well you know there are some nice clashes we have one class i can point out hoffenheim is in action tonight they are in a must win situation i do believe we have a full screen we could take a look at that. ok here we go right here now as we can see now off and they're in a must win situation right now. but they're at home they're always strong at home if they really want to survive you know they're going to get all three points you they need a draw to move forward you have a you know most recently they christian or naldo supposed to resurrect that side into is an international success we have that massive look out for two and also

city city against a leona city only need a draw they're looking good in their group one match i think in terms of the two big boys going head to head roma in reality both of those sides have nine points apiece so it'll be interesting to see you know which team has the most by tonight x. which team is going to stock a lot of juice even cultus coming up this outing to thank you very much for talking us through the matches we can look forward to ok thank you. you're watching the news coming up ahead one direction man's defiance in the face of hiv in our series on the virus in russia beneath me tally makowski who is determined to fight the stigma afflicting victims of the aids epidemic in his homeland. and the job was come to ease sad good as can turn seventy she's been a force on the modern art scene for decades

a work is back to once and moving funny and outright bizarre. scottish oxford from a desperate government talked to us about her work and of course ahead i will be back with more business news to save the news for more coming up with you shortly. on. the mobility for a clean and modern society. but how green is production. more about me more demand for raw materials. and more mining means more destruction and exploitation lead. to the true cost of electric cars. close up in forty five minutes on the doubling of.

the. first day of school in the jungle. first listen to the. band doris green the moment arrives. join deregulating on her journey back to freedom. in our interactive documentary. the world in the u.k. returns home on t w dot com good times. hijacking the news. more are going wrong the news is being hijacked journalism it's. has become a script reality show it's not just good first as evil us forces while. in countries like russia china turkey. and if you're a journalist and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed is world. more

responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the. we're being told it's about being truthful. you're watching the news coming to you live from berlin i'm a real pleasure to have you with us our top stories one lead is of course a calm in ukraine speak. after russia sees you creating naval ships off the crimean peninsula but moscow has rejected a german offer to mediate kiev says moscow has entered a new phase of aggression. and the world of science says can demand a chinese scientists who claims to have created the was first genetically edited

they doubt his clean and say the procedure is ethically unacceptable. this weekend sees the thirtieth a year off aids day over the decades great progress has been made in dealing with the infection including public awareness campaigns was why didn't form people about hiv aids and to dispel misinformation yet in many places people living with hiv us two stigmatized and shunned for a special series strong russia correspondent you do the chateau men. one young man bravely struggling to change attitudes. among am. i don't like it when people point at me and say that i'm contagious. i hear the worst kinds of insults on the streets response up of the president it's been great vitale has been h.

of a positive foil a videos you are choosing to puncture. i want to let everyone know that hiv is not a death sentence where people just like everyone else. but above the only thing that makes me different are the four pills that i take every day to keep me from dying that was to me. but these pills that keep him from dying as retarded calls them are not a cure for a different problem but the stigmatization of people with h.l.v. . to fight the stigma vitale has come up with an unusual idea. he wants to confront people with his illness by publicly outing himself as h positive. or used on a stigma of focused this huge stigma surrounding a hiv positive people in russia accounts from fear now it's hard many still think that hiv can be transmitted by breathing the same air that h.l.v.

people should just be rounded up denounced and sense a way to present to the mood or to mars the rest to just disappear out of view it's very hurtful you know it. became. vitale wants to start his campaign in his home town here in bork he knows it could be dangerous his aim is to break down the barrier as it has existed between him and the belt around him since he got his diagnosis. is blocked artery needs i'm eighty five he poses. if you're not afraid. it's a protest against loneliness and a challenge. of all same one i told my mother eight years after i was infected in the first thing she said to me was we had such high hopes for you for her in meant that i was through the holes in my mother's world hiv positive people

are no longer human they're dead. and what to do passes basi. you really not scared you know i'm a doctor with all the best of you what shall we hark differently if you're not scared. why should i be thank you so much. simpler give me your postings of course for north and see if you more people hug me then i'm just going to cry i'm overwhelmed this makes me stronger and i'm beginning to realize that i didn't out myself for nothing you know you're not affiliated. even on a cold november evening is the reaction still vitaly milonov skinned his openness

about his age and he status have been surprisingly warm however vitale knows it to bill take many more activists like him before people be thanked i feel russia can be sure that they will be treated with respect. amazing what a difference a heart can make that report. can you imagine being stuck at an airport for more than eight months that's exactly what happened to a syrian refugee hassan al current that was living at the airport of malaysia's capital kuala lumpur since february not looks like you. finally going to be able to move on fredricka by the social media desk has been following the story and she joins me now in the studio west confided he cannot bring us up to date with the latest developments in the story so. he's a thirty seven from syria and he was trapped in the arrival corridor of kuala lumpur airport after a roller coaster where he was denied permission to board

a flight to ecuador he was denied entry into cambodia and malaysia where his visa had expired and that's why he got stuck there but now he has reportedly been granted asylum in canada and he announced the good news on twitter on monday saying he was at the taiwan airport on his way to vancouver take a listen for the last eight years it was. long. last month it was very hard. i could not do it with all the prayers from all of you i could not do it without the help of. my family way canadian friends. my lawyer. thank you all. i love your. so that message came after two months where i had been completely silent on social media which is really unusual for him apparently he spent that time in a detention center in malaysia so it was

a big relief for him and for his supporters all over the world to know that he was safe and on his way to canada where a woman a p.r. manager has been able to collect money to organize his resettlement and critical why did he receive so much attention in canada so kept a video diary that he shared on social media that got him huge attention all over the world and we ourselves got in touch with him back in april and then he sent us some videos to show was in which condition he was living and you can see some of those images that he sent us here he was forced to sleep under stairwells he was also forced to wash himself in public bathrooms and he was showering disabled toilet for example and he was also stock he was trapped in a part of the airport that had no restaurants no shops so he was for food he was relying on the generosity of airline staff who were passing by so it was

a really hard time for him gosh a very hard time to put it because how secure is his future can he live on in canada well i mean canadian media are reporting that he has arrived safely in canada as i mentioned earlier he has a sponsor there the woman who collected money also for his resettlement and he she was she's going to be hosting him at first apparently he has also been offered a job there so and generally more than fourteen thousand syrian refugees have been able to resettle in canada with the aid of private sponsors since twenty fifteen so i think generally people are quite confident about his case and as for him i mean he knows that he has been lucky and he hopes that other people in the same situation will have the same luck so the prospects look dr drew thank you so much for being us at the uplifting story thank you. turning now to libya which has become a gateway for. hoping to reach europe by crossing the mediterranean sea many of

them landed so along with the european union the italian government is supporting libyan efforts to stem the flow of. rough seas strong winds and no migrant boats to be seen the libyan coast guard says that's not just because of the weather it's only has supplied libya with seven vessels and trained its coast guards who've already intercepted thirteen thousand refugees bound for europe this year. we send a message a message that said don't try to do it again because the money. and believe it will take you will. become back. bad news for what may be hundreds of thousands of migrants stranded in libya many of them arrive at this health center malnourished and week doctors at the center

run by an aid organization treetop to three hundred people a day that number is rising and they're overstretched and frustrated sometimes i feel i don't know. because i cannot help some some people so they really need help but sometimes i feel that my hands are tied the libyan coast guard takes a tougher approach its new high tech patrol boats are ready to stop the flow of migrants to europe. a german russian man has been convicted of bombing the brucia dog soccer team bus last year judge's sentence him to fourteen years in prison for attempted murder a daughter unclear and a police officer were among those injured in the attack prosecutors say the defendant identified only as seven gay and german privacy laws as islamic

terrorists and. sons had already started gathering in the stadium for dortmund's champions league match against monaco but dortmund didn't make it there that night just as they left the hotel shortly after seven pm the team bus was rocked by several blasts class shattered dortmund defender mark bought trucks and a police officer were injured. was taken to hospital for surgery on a fractured wrist. the buses reinforced windows prevented further injuries. police discovered three homemade explosive devices packed with shards of metal plates than bushes by the roadside a shaken dortmund team lost against monaco when they played their reshape match the next evening. the authorities first line of inquiry a terror plot letters left at the scene claimed the attack was retaliation for

german military operations against so-called islamic state in iraq and syria. ten days later police arrested a twenty eight year old german russian national identified only as. the motive of the attack not terrorism but greed the suspect had taken out options on thousands of. betting that an attack would send prices plummeting and net him millions. helena is here now for business news and hello whatever happened to the bit coy you know a year ago i read it was all we were talking about the rise and rise of bitcoin it was the talk of the town then it started to plunge and plunge last december one bit coy would set you back nine hundred thousand dollars now they're trading below four thousand well digital currencies a facing an existential crisis with only the most hardened risk takers daring to

trade in them. this is how some on twitter have depicted what's happening behind the scenes during the ongoing bitcoin crash although these images are not actually connected to bitcoin they nonetheless serve to illustrate how dramatic the mood is for some right now. across the board digital currencies are flailing big coin has lost seventy eight percent since the beginning of the year ripple has lost even more to theri amant bitcoin cost have dropped more than ninety percent each a year ago because one was the talk of the town people watched excitedly as the value skyrocketed to twenty thousand dollars banks started working feverishly to build a digital currency infrastructure. but the plunge in value seems to have just hopes is it not game over for crypto currencies will they not be an accepted asset class

promised to step up its war on climate change so already met existing carbon emission targets early and in china's northern coal heartland dozens of chemical plants have already been closed the people there have been breathing a little easier but the region has paid a high price. the city of gin chang has a poor reputation in china it's one of the most polluted cities in the country it's skyline peppered with mines coal processing facilities and heavy industry plants according to data from the ministry of ecology and environment last winter jim chiang failed to meet government targets on cutting damaging pollution as a result dozens of mines and factories were forced to shut down. local shephard mr gao says the measures have improved quality they want short. ford all used to burn and stink everything was polluted and really burned stagg. closing

the mines and factories however has sent shock waves through the local economy unemployment is high here the problem is common across china's coal heartland cities struggle to strike a balance between environmental concerns and keeping their economies afloat many here are critical of last winter's smog crackdown factories were forced to close whether they'd implemented pollution controls or not this year beijing has promised to be more business friendly gin chang however is unlikely to enjoy any leniency because of its past failures. shows you that many cities here in the region rank the lowest in the country when it comes to environmental law enforcement and information disclosure this means the ability to implement laws or regulate these in the street is very weak true father to. now the local economy is placing its hopes in gas rather than coal the area is rich in methane which can be used for

heating and it will provide jobs to china is determined to reduce its dependence on coal by twenty twenty coal should make up fifty eight percent of total energy use that's down more than ten percentage points in a decade. as backup to amrita now for an exciting moment for space lovers a rater that is drive her now because science is one step closer to unlocking the secrets of mars after masses inside space flight touched down on monday all the fuss things it did guess what send a kind of a selfie back to earth but of course much more will come later inside we'll drill down into the martian soil to collect important data on how the planet was formed for the scientists involved it's been a thrilling and even heart stopping journey sixty meters fifty meters constant barrage of the suspense that's almost impossible to bear

touchdown compared. followed by an outpouring of jubilation and relief this is the moment nasa scientists received confirmation that the inside spacecraft had landed safely on mars. the news was relayed by a pair of tiny satellites that had been trailing inside throughout its four hundred eighty two million kilometer journey because of the distance between earth and mars it took several tens minutes for confirmation to arrive. to think about working for seven years as many of the people here in the room have done to get to the point where you have seven more minutes to survive you can literally survive is. credibly hard to describe my heart was basically i think to stop beating for seven minutes i don't know if that's healthy or not the two satellites not only transmitted the good news they also sent back inside its first snapshot of mars

with dark specks of debris still visible from the landing the inside will now spend the next two years studying mars core to learn more about the planet's origins but scientists say this will be a slow motion mission this entire process just getting the entrance to the ground takes approximately two to three months so it's going to take a little bit of time to get to that point and then another couple months for them all to penetrate through the ground and to do the fine tuning of the seismometer and at that point we'll be sitting back and listening for those mars quakes and measuring the vital signs on mars getting all that great science return we're really looking forward to that after transmitting the inside spacecraft dramatic landing sequence the twin satellites then took this final image roughly seven and a half thousand kilometers from mars a farewell to insight as it embarks on its mission. a she's the most important office you've probably never heard of german scholar.

has been a force on the scene for decades what's still remaining in the underground what is by turns funny and outright bizarre against seventy today but what keeps pushing the boundaries of what. joining me now is scott rock sort of from a desk and he's going to talk about the rear of and wonderfulness off against west . amongst skin skin is a big big deal how come then she's not a household name yet it's a bit strange because when it comes if you talk to. or you read art historians or are collectors she's a huge name i mean many people consider her the most important female artist of the last thirty years she also happened to been married to get. one of most commercially successful artists for twelve years and they influenced each other but

the reason she's maybe not as famous among normal people as or various other artists is she doesn't have a real signature style i mean most modern artists they have a sort of distinctive look and you can immediately recognize that like jeff koons he's got those balloon dogs or banks the graffiti artists a very distinct style you mean say oh that's a banksy that's not the case with her and. the work that she's doing now doesn't look anything like the works did ten years ago or twenty years ago or thirty years ago but i actually think that's an advantage and that's her strength because she can't really be pigeonholed and now i mean she turned seventy today and the work she's doing now is still as as vital and compelling as it was forty years ago take a look. these again career spans for decades make yourself pretty was

a major retrospective of our works which was first shown in the netherlands in twenty sixteen has always been. because she doesn't allow herself to be boxed in. there is a queue. behavior. recognized by the look of her work because. it has always tried to. accept its. famously allusive is against avoids giving interviews that reserve isn't reflected in her work the own life features prominently in her alts. work is often described as and it matic but it's also humorous.

he's against can design the german provision at the venice biennale in two thousand and seven casting a construction net over its nazi architecture it introduced her to a wide audience relatively light in her korea. innovation has been a constant in her work even when dealing with a common thing he. sees against seventy still holding up a mirror to the viewer and creating. that transforms. gosh quite. business is good for us in county of it is again. yeah i have to admit i didn't i didn't know her until just

a few years ago i had to be in new york four years ago i went to the moment using a modern art and they happen to have a retrospective of her and i just looked a german artist forty years of work with so i went in and as i was blown away i mean it's really difficult to describe because she's changed her art so much during during her life but i would say it's like everything that's good about modern art and nothing none of what's crap about modern art i mean. she's for example very very funny with all the stuff that she does but she's also really political i mean after nine eleven she did a series of sculptures sort of alternative designs for the new world trade center which was then being being planned to be built built and so these these sculptures they were in some ways quite quite quite touching and emotional but also quite cool and fun and it's interesting because although she's a german artist she has a very deep connection to new york she's been going there since she was a teenager she was in the york on nine eleven and you can see it's inspired

a lot of her work it really is her second home and this could be said she didn't have a signature style but is there anything which unites of brings together what a different style if there was i guess i would say maybe it's her view of the world because once you've seen some of her work you can sort of connect why it must fit together i mean everything she does it's. it's going to seem very distinct and also exactly right i mean she did these toys sculptures which will cut huge toothpicks that were some the first things ever designed on a computer and this is from the one nine hundred seventy s. but all the other work she does that keeps changing keeps evolving these photographs of years which she blew up huge what i can say about it is once you encountered against comes art you understand how distinct is and you'll never never mistake never imitate she's always moving forward wonderful. thank you very much and from scott from me and from the news team or they can says happy birthday to.
