this is deja vu news coming to you live from bali and an active premeditated provocation that's what gratias president vladimir putin thinks of ukraine's rule in the confrontation in crimea he says two ukrainian secret service men were on board the vessel seems to by russia also coming up the children were young german muslim hoping to shape the future of a country and to free this as germany brings together political religious and academic leaders to debate integration and islam. and turning the tide on

australia's struggling bridge a barrier reef scientist harvests correlates to receive the areas hit hard by climate change in an attempt to reverse the damage. also in the next sixty minutes a second gene edited human pregnancy is on the way that's according to the chinese researcher who claims to have edited the genes of twin baby girls he's been telling a scientific conference about his controversial technique. that a taliban leader dismisses the plans for a peace settlement as an afghanistan conference opens in geneva it hopes to find ways to stabilize the country after decades of conflict. and a very warm welcome to you all i'm. president vladimir putin of wrong. has accused

the queen of committing an act of premeditated provocation in the naval confrontation off crimea that tensions escalated between moscow and kiev after russia sees three ukrainian naval vessels in a skirmish on sunday a short while ago putin commented on the crisis in public for the first time. turns out that among the crew members two of them were security service members they confessed that they were members of the security services of ukraine only pleasingly q this points to it being an act of premeditated provocation. tended to use this provocation as a pretext to impose martial law in the country. nothing to do with an attempt to improve relations between russia and ukraine. it is an attempt to escalate the situation further it's part of a dirty game being played in ukraine against its political opponents.

so that was the russian president talking just a short while ago law school has strong suggestions by european officials that it could face fresh sanctions over the crimea crisis at least a dozen ukrainian sailors have been detained pending trial ukraine's president has warned that russia is preparing for war and as asked germany for help. speaking on ukrainian state television president petro poroshenko said he turned to berlin after the kremlin failed to respond to his request for dialogue it was. immediately that i ordered a phone conversation with the president of russia vladimir putin. we did not receive any response and i had to turn to the german chancellor so that she could talk to put on the immediate release of ukrainian servicemen and ukrainian ships.

poroshenko also said the authorities would take all necessary steps to release the ukrainian sailors detained on sunday when russia ceased three vessels off the crimean coast captured sailors appeared in a russian court and were charged with unlawfully entering the country carrying weapons they face up to six years in prison. earlier other sailors were shown on russian television saying they had deliberately entered russian waters as a provocation kiev denounced what it described as forced confessions moscow accuses kiev of sparking the sea skirmish to boost support ahead of an election. most probably this provocation took place in order to achieve certain political decisions which are beneficial for the current president of ukraine. ukraine accuses russia of illegally capturing its ships and sailors off the coast

of crimea president petro poroshenko now claims moscow is preparing for an invasion together with the country's parliaments he has imposed martial law in the regions bordering russia for thirty days. fundamentally the whole martial law is. getting the resources together. for everybody here in ukraine to understand. he's our hero place whence the russians come for us president poroshenko insisted the meshes won't interfere with elections old for march but his decrees causing concern and confusion in the capital kiev for ukrainians it's unclear what changes martial law will bring after a four year standoff with russia peace seems the distant outcome. and he have a correspondent nick connelly joins us now from the ukrainian capital kiev they got their reports the russians deploying new surface to air missiles to the crimean

peninsula and ukraine's president reportedly said this is a russian crew build up at the border what are you hearing there good morning amritsar well yes though that information about russia deploying. ground to air missiles crimea that is official we've heard that from several sources in russia today in terms of intelligence provided by petro poroshenko yesterday the that was intelligence information satellite images that he showed ukrainian journalists purporting to show russian tanks massing along ukraine's borders office that's very hard to verify independently but this is definitely worrying we've seen in the past during exercise this kind of thing but given the confrontation we've had in the strait of courage is really the first time that russia and ukraine have faced off against each other directly the conflict that's been going to last for years is by proxy that's ukraine against russian backed separatist nice the country but this is really the first time that the professional

militaries of both countries seem to be standing and standing off against each other in such a direct way and we're hearing that moscow's concerns lie over a planned a ukrainian naval base which is being built in the area which moscow feels good threaten its geo strategic interests and russia's calling seven ukrainian sailors and refusing to let them go is it normal to happen to them. in terms of the fate of the ukrainian sailors they were yesterday most of them given two month sentences for illegally crossing russia's borders. having said that i think you know the legal detail is less important if we get some kind of resolution to this we might see them out through some kind of humanitarian deal equally if the political situation continues to worsen and they may spend a lot longer in detention in terms of those plans by ukraine to up its defenses its naval defenses on the sea of as of i think it's still very unlikely that ukraine in the near future will in any way be able to challenge russia there has been talk

from some russian sources about fears that ukraine's might bring nato forces there but there's no real clear perspective of nato offering ukraine any further guarantees so this all does seem fairly farfetched for now. so that was the economy talking to us from kiev just a short while ago now a major point of contention between russia and ukraine is ever closer relationship with the european union we spoke to the head of the european parliament's foreign affairs committee about the incident in the catch straight between the russian coastline and the crimean peninsula russia has clearly shown aggressive behavior and this is a violation of international rules and like many other international representatives i would like to underline the position of the european union that we condemn this russian attitude and we call on restraint and that one thing is

clear the sea of azoff has been agreed between ukraine and russia to be open for commercial shipping for military shipping and for fishery shipping and that russia has no right to do what it did. so what should the the respond to this event. well first of all many european leaders have already been involved in finding a diplomatic solution to not let the tensions try to raise i have been informed that among of as chancellor merkel and with president putin and with president poroshenko the statement of the european union has been very clear in this issue that we want to defend the rights of ukraine and that after the illegal and acceleration of crimea for russia we cannot accept that step by step the sea of as of is supposed to become

a russian territory or water this has been agreed in two thousand and freeway before the illegal an extension of crimea but both countries have the right to share this water already when the bridge was built. strait of couch already that was a violation of international regulations and a violation of the territorial sovereignty of ukraine it was a ukrainian ships who tried to cross straight from the sea of sea and russia says it was a provocation from their grain and side view this well if you look at the whole case from the objective point of view. i'm not quite sure to put it in polite terms how you can actually see this as a provocation small ukrainian vessels were attacked by much larger russian ships so i think this is once again a typical form of russian propaganda. so that was david mcallister european

parliament's foreign affairs committee member now to some other stories making news around the world indonesian investigators sea lion air plane that crashed last month suffered technical problems the day before the accident and should have been grounded all one hundred eighty nine people on board the bling seven three seven were killed when it crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from jakarta. an explosion outside a chemical plant in china has killed at least twenty three people the blasts took place in the city of zhang cool some hundred and sixty kilometers northwest of the capital beijing several dozen vehicles were destroyed in the blaze. at least one person has died in two are seriously injured after severe storms hit the australian city of sydney authorities of warn motorists to stay home and sydney airport has cancelled dozens of flights forecast to see one month's worth of rain

fell on the city in just a few hours. overnight to helena and the british government delivers a stock morning about the financial fallout from briggs to tell another yeah absolutely amrita i mean this really backs up what economists have been saying for the past year or so but now from the british government it says that leaving the european union with no deal would cause the economy to shrink by more the nine percent over a fifteen year period the report which considered a range of post breaks that models suggest that even with prime minister teresa mayes deal britain will end up poorer outside of the block in alice this comes a fortnight before british m.p.'s vote on teresa mayes to ruth deal with the people . and for more on this we can bring in our london correspondent now birkett mass joins us but get

a fairly sober assessment there from the british government breakdown the range of possibilities set out there by the government. well first of all it is really interesting that this comes from a british government so not some sort of interest group or lobby group but from the government itself who wants to get a deal through wants to get reasons made to resume a deal through parliament in just a couple of weeks time so it's a range of different scenarios from britain staying fairly close to the you where there would be the least disruption and homes of g.d.p. to no deal which of course has been warned by business groups would be an absolute disaster mostly for manufacturing for car manufacturing and that's what british business is really really trying to prevent and we see that in this worst case scenario which would really be britain crashing out of the european union with no

idea that the north of england where people really did vote for breaks at that they would be hardest hit so london the more the financial capital would be the least affected bought in the north where most of the manufacturing is this is where people really would suffer what about those who say that this statement ignores potential economic benefits of breaks that trade deals for example. well i think some trade deals have been taken into account with big players like the u.s. but of course brick city is arguing that you can't trust these economic forecasts they called project fear they say that also in the run up to the referendum it was warned that immediately after the vote for brics it that the economy would crash and this hasn't happened so it also makes clear that it's a political project it's really not an economic project for people who really want

to cut loose from the e.u. they think that maybe a shorter pain would be worth it they think it's worth also for us for sovereignty and for britain to be a more agile player politically possibly also economically and burkett this statement coming ahead of course of that very to now sit commons on the eleventh of december on may's deal do you think that it's going to you are dealing extra blow everything that's being discussed now is always seen through the lens of the vote that's going to come and a couple of weeks time and we have seen and p's today in the house of commons seizing on this report and they said well we have to just give this back to the british people do they really want to be poor even m.p.'s that are in constituencies that voted for leave have said is this really in the interest of my constituents that they become poor or do they maybe need to think again and there

have been more and more m.p.'s arguing for a people's vote so for this to go back to the british people and have a vote on the deal do they really actually want to spread it or not our correspondent in london burg it must breaking down that british government report on the outcomes of breaks for the economy thank you very much indeed. and we should say that the bank of england has delayed the publication of its latest stress test results for major u.k. banks it was set to be published at seven am this morning but they won't actually now come out until four thirty london time this afternoon and it's stress test the bank of england wants to find out just how resilient the british banking sector really is if it comes to a halt no deal bragg's it among scenarios played out through a three rather buy it analysts will plummeting property prices the interest rate skyrocketing to four percent and unemployment hitting almost ten percent its.

business later first back from rita. the fourth to german islam conference is underway here in berlin the conference's started back in two thousand and six and this is the official host is the interior minister horst zero for in the foster's been criticism that the summits focus too much on hard line conservative islam this time organizers say a more representative and diverse group of academics social scientists and religious leaders have been invited not the it's top of the nearly five million muslims in germany. now for more i'm joined by our chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome melinda and the conference began with the interior minister c. hall for saying that muslims belong to me does that come as a surprise given his very conservative views on the issue. absolutely it does he's

been taking quite a different tone in the past shortly after he took office as interior minister he directly contradicted chancellor. merkel she had said islam belongs to germany and so he said at that time no it does not now he said as the conference began quote unquote naturally muslims are a part of germany and they have all the same rights and obligations as other citizens so quite a difference in direction he did go on after that to say germany is though deeply deeply shaped by judeo and christian values and to tradition but what we need to remember is that he is the head of one of germany's most conservative parties he has been trying to stop the rise of a party further to the right the alternative for germany are f.t. by playing on prejudices against migrants and against muslims and the fact that he

has been able to do so or thought he could do so shows how much we need this kind of a dialogue both about and with islam we went out onto the street to find out how germans see the complicated relationship between islam and germany and got some very different points of view. german islam is muslims trying to integrate into german society and germans showing them more acceptance at times with the no one thing so it has nothing to do with animosity and that kind of thing. i have a good source i believe there are probably as many different islamic believing people as there are differently thinking people in other religions so i'd prefer not to make an overall judgement. we have to uphold our cultural orientation in europe that's our goal and also our values values which we are always talking about and should stick to that has to be respected while at the same time we respect

there is of course that self evident in our constitution but we do have to maintain our values. that germany had cited be catastrophic. so the whole range of opinions then melinda given and that we have some five million muslims in germany how important is this is it to have dialogue on muslim integration in the mainstream very very important indeed and the conference aims to foster that kind of dialogue by bringing together representatives of various islamic organizations in germany with authorities from federal state and local government and those government representatives also include music you miss apologies that have taken in there a large numbers of migrants from syria refugees from the middle east most of them

muslim so there is a very strong need to talk about how to better integrate them nonetheless as you said in your introduction this conference has been criticized for being overly weighted toward a very traditionalist very fundamental form of islam we got a report from a young muslim who sees this very critically indeed. understanding how muslims are perceived in germany is the mission for. an author and the daughter of mara can immigrants she was born and raised in germany she comes from a conservative religious home sundays were devoted to learning verses from the koran by heart but at the same time she managed to follow her own interests. when i would have it was a huge deal for my mother that i should be independent there was nothing off limits no sense that you can't do this or that just because you're a girl. with fewer restrictions on what she could do and must have had an easier

upbringing than many young muslims in germany now thirty seven she writes books portraying the complex city of muslim life and just keen to dispel stereotypes she says all too often women are depicted as victims and men are unable to show any sign of anxiety or insecurity. and must i believe both muslims and non muslims need to abandon such oversimplified views. it is much more to them and. on the one hand some muslims have a romanticized image of other muslims and ignore anything problematic within their own community all they set themselves against mainstream non muslim society on the other hand you have those who are panicking the islam has almost completely taken over. for many muslims their big turbos surrounding religion family and sexuality but instead of breaking down these barriers and

massless says some muslim groups reinforce them she's critical of the german islam conference for including in her view to many conservative groups. to my school although. most muslim groups don't believe in equality they are highly patriarchal some are actually reactionary and they're certainly not interested in islam becoming more liberal or in advancing gender equality especially good at a dinner for a walk in and muster as opinion that's exactly what german islam requires emancipated muslims who are not held back by tradition or the dictates of religion living freely and enjoying equal rights. chats with young women in apparel and cafe they too want to see an open minded islam. so as we heard their melinda's inable master is calling for a more nuanced approach to her faith and at the islamic conference thank you very

much for joining us from our parliamentary studios and for your views. i can move in anata astray and the next generation seems to be intent on pressurising politicians for a more decisive response to climate change hundreds of students have been skipping school to urge the governments to take a more serious action on wednesday the canberra where they gathered in front of the australian parliament multiple tests are planned throughout the week fredricka but you will need every social media desk has been following this story and she joins me now welcome phytic acid tell us more bring us up to date with this story so i'm rita some of these kids are and in australia are very young but already very in gauged and they say they're just unhappy with the way politicians have been dealing with climate change so they're going to them personally to ask for more decisive action and we can take a listen to what one of these young protesters has been saying. yeah.

they are. saying they're sacrificing their education temporarily to save their future and the kids say they were inspired by a fifteen year old swedish activist who was doing similar protests in stockholm right so young but very very engaged it seems that the protest action where these school children will submit is the debate in parliament what the politicians say to the prime minister absolutely and i mean the kids they gather the support of the australian green party which has been pushing for these protests also of the senate on tuesday backed a motion and is now supporting the students decision to strike from school and to all these protests across the country on the other hand prime minister scott

morrison was not so impressed with the whole thing he sent a very i mean he says the government is taking climate change very seriously and he sent a very clear message to the students saying he should focus on learning and less on activism take a listen. kids should go to school that's what we're here we're not we don't support the art of cute not going to see the whitefield piece apart in things that can be dealt with outside of school reach directed my kids to school and i don't know the mean is that really works i go to school but we do not support our schools being turned into power. i'm sure there's been quite a reaction to his comments but what has been the reaction generally on social media to the children's section yeah i mean there's been quite a discussion a line of course a lot of support for the children the critics those who are critical they are voicing the prime minister's claims in a way they're saying that children especially when they're so young they should not

be out in the streets protesting especially on the on school days and as much as this is a very good cause there's fears that they're being instrumental eyes in a way some of the students have rejected this claims they say they know very well what they're doing they know that they are the ones who will be suffering from the consequences of climate change and we can take a look at one of these kids how she reacted to the prime minister's comments she posted oh there we go so that's her this nine year old holding a sign saying beware radical student activist and now these protests are being are sparking also in other countries including here in germany so we'll hear more from this i'm sure absolutely motivated that's what we're seeing thank you so much from a social media this for being us that story now you're watching news lots more coming up a second edited human pregnancy is on the way according to chinese research who claims to have carried out the procedure on twin baby girls we killed what else

a shotgun he said as he presented a road map to peace at a u.n. conference in geneva but it's been a big challenge to get the follow on board we hear from one militant leader who is based far from kabul and who is far from interested in peace. our camera man has been waiting in a hotel in west afghanistan for two days he doesn't want to be recognized. suddenly a phone call and he's picked up by a heavily armed men wearing a mask. he's taken to a small village under the taliban's control three hours away then. the appears surrounded by bodyguards the combat gear is not just for appearances this taliban leader has no interest in a cease fire. doesn't matter if the american government talks with us it doesn't matter if the discussions take place in moscow kabul was pakistan or qatar. flown

all the way was want to throw sand in our eyes and lolo's to sleep so we stop fighting. as he has been living in the underground for seventeen years now his fighters have been waging a war against the afghan government and western troops based in the country. he is said to have organized countless suicide bombings including ones which killed dozens of civilians for a few years now he's also been fighting against rival taliban factions the islamist group appears to be deeply divided that doesn't seem to stop their military successes however they now control more than half of afghanistan the taliban feel like they're heading towards victory and want nothing less than the reestablishment of an islamic state. for hundreds of years in an islamic system we will not again democracy was forced on us by the west it was bad for us.

two weeks ago in moscow all the taliban took part in a major international conference for the first time after years of being locked out of talks the taliban have gained acceptance that's also an acknowledgment in part of the nations involved in afghanistan that their previous military strategy has failed either side just conflicts because everyone knows of there will be no me. the true solution to the conflicts in afghanistan the americans and nato as well as the taliban recognize that outright victory is not possible and sometimes to compromise to already in taliban controlled regions there are almost no women in public just like in the village where our cameraman was allowed to film the taliban has already removed many civil liberties. more going to the west wants our women to be naked prophet forbids this but i would send our women to school even let me treated in hospitals but only according to islamic principles it's unclear how many of the taliban are willing to compromise and how many irreconcilable. these

fighters don't see themselves as terrorists rather as insurgents but as our cameraman leaves the fight just tell them that actually they want peace but they wanted on their terms. a scientist who claims he has created the violence first genitive edited b.b.c. says a second pregnancy with a gene edited embryo may be on the way he was speaking at a genetics conference in hong kong his first public appearance since this controversial and unverified this search hit the headlines earlier this week he can see or to the d.n.a. of twin girls to prevent them from contracting. despite sparking outrage he insists his motivation was actually a stick. i said these people they need help. the millions of families with this disease and inherited disease or

infectious disease we should show compassion to them. if we have the technology we can make it available. that would be helpful for more people if we did. when talking about the future. first that it's transparent open and that we share the knowledge i.q. related with society with the world and let society decide what's the next step. there's joining me now for more is a bridge from the science department welcome but what do you make of what the chinese scientists have to say because many people believe that in fact there are more questions than answers after they heard him speak at this biomedical conference in hong kong that's true we didn't learn much indeed of what he was saying and many important questions were made and answered for example who paid for

his work and if did the families really know the consequences and the problematics which go with this new technology which we were just the scientific community itself didn't fully understand so far they haven't been any scientific article or publication and the journal of our face so far so we don't really know which methods are used which ways he went and if his claims actually are true. and that this is still to verified as you said but despite all the criticism he himself is undeterred and in fact is they proud of his achievements in fact advantages from the kind of experiment that he carried out because he says his motivation was not greed but at christic to help people had these babies from contracting h i.v. that's true but the scientific community doesn't really buy that they don't see much to be proud of in this whole thing they say that first of all there hasn't been really a medical necessity to do those tests the baby seem to be fully healthy and fine

also they say was responsible the only advantage i can see so far is that the problematic of she no editing in humans really became visible through this and now the society can or has the opportunity to do this discussion and to talk about how far we want to go to how we can go with genome editing because one thing is clear which case that if you would haven't done it someone else would probably have this experiment is a success and these babies. then kind of immune from contracting each hiv which was the aim of this experiment these babies face other consequences as a result of this gene editing they most probably could as the technology which is called chris because nine is relatively new so far we haven't really got into depth and research about the consequences and problematics which can come with this genome modifications and there are scientists that say that if you utter one part

of the d.n.a. then it can lead to changes in other parts of the d.n.a. which haven't which hasn't been where in targeted in the first place so it could lead to genome defects to other illnesses and maybe we could even harrod those problems then to further generations down the line so it's not really clear what the consequences a lot of fears are that this would kind of tamper with the whole human gene system the gene pool thank you very much for your insights on this controversial development an issue thanks. and the latest figures from the u.n. show that russia is suffering the worst hiv epidemic in eastern europe and central asia more than a million russians are living with the virus moscow says its chief and ninety eight percent success rate in preventing mother to child transmission but for children with hiv the outlook is bleak in the third and final part of our series on russia's

hiv aids epidemic you're rachet two reports from a children's home in chile of bins where youngsters who are hiv positive live together with others not affected by the virus. it's only morning in children's home. it is the same routine every day. the same medicine the same dose every morning. i forty boys and girls live at the home there between four and seventeen. and to be in a sick little pluses and minuses that's what they call hiv positive and negative children here. with. a clue why it is that when we open this home eleven years ago

hiv positive children lived separately from the divine we had ripened sofas and no carpets we clean the dishes with a lot of disinfectant ordered never the cool thing to do that it was difficult to create a tolerant environment for them but it took years for all that stuff to accept and respect my children. you have the quietly spinning much. today with little blossoms and little minuses play together and they are treated the same. they are all growing up without parents in place children's home in the russian city of chile audience. the children have each of infected parents many of their parents suffer from alcohol and drug addictions and have lost custody of their children. but within the walls of this home with the children are cared for and. dark chocolate you can tell if they learn to

live with their edge of infection confidently. and handle it better than some adults. would speak of the ones we sent the children to summer camp on the first evening one of the carers was bathing the children when the camp's director poked his head in. as if to see if these kids have ears or two heads or something another time care asked me what should i do they brought me and hiv positive boy and i said lock him in the cellar of course he didn't know if i was serious so i told her just let him play with the other children. you can talk to it's a better time at the children's home. again everyone knows that they're. the same medicine at the same dose every evening. but there is a constant worry what will happen to the children once they leave the home. because

of their mother's alcohol or drug addiction during pregnancy many of them have learning difficulties and to developmental problems. the hope is that some of them will be adopted. so they don't have to face of them fate. that. comes ahead to offer would aid. day which is on the first of december now over to helena as italy's budget saga rumbles on and on yes that's right indeed emerita the european union is now one step closer to imposing disciplinary proceedings against italy after reportedly rejecting the country's offer to reduce its budget deficit target the dispute centers on a sleaze plans to increase spending beyond the level that the a you considers

the last sixteen place is on the line when thomas to show his parents sends you mad face if you're going to clubs liverpool in the champions league tonight the two german coaches go back a long way with social firing club as dortmund coach now is eager for as expensive p.s.g. team to finally make a breakthrough in europe's top club competition for. their back name and killian embark pay off fit to play against liverpool they're the world's two most expensive players but money doesn't always buy you success p.s.g. dominate their domestic league but have trouble replicating those performances in the champions league i think they're still big big steps to go for us and we have to make a big big step forward the bigger the game the bigger the pressure the pressure the

more the focus is important to focus and be relaxed to holland cup go back to the bundesliga it was a boost your daughter moment where both copy ice of international clubs. cup shows liverpool a club with plenty of tradition and trophies. total opted for p.s.g. a cup with a short history and still trying to prove itself on the european stage paris is not used to. because. we have to make sure. that we have our possession and we do something small but it's not easy stopping clubs heavy metal football but expectations are high in paris that means the big money players have to show are they worth. i kid in the northern hemisphere winter is fast approaching the days are getting

shorter and the nights are getting longer dr this is encroaching with the trucks were from up to discus here to lighten things up quite literally feel welcome scott apart from the civil what have you brought to drive a dreary wind to well you know white lots lots and lots of life i mean it's true to say i mean you're living here in the northern hemisphere the night star encroaching when it comes to winter we're feeling a little bit game of thrones around the culture does you know winter is coming so so what we try to do to lighten things up a bit we looked around to find some bright artists who are trying to lift people's spirits using light we've got a few of them for you first we have a photographer who quite literally sets the night glow when we take a look at some work. yann leonardo is an artist he paints. his blank canvas

this darkness. works with pyrotechnics and. he captures his light compositions frood long time exposures he doesn't use digital a fact. of us see what actually happens it's authentic. can't see the result at the monitor that's the biggest problem you can't see what you're doing you might compare it to blind painters you could sense what they're doing but you couldn't see it. every third performance. developed what's known as. like art performance photography it involves choreographed movements with lights. to complete all the

exposures. and light archers to use the technique to make advertising photos from major international companies. is a way of making the passing of time visible it means enjoying the total freedom to make light creativity imagination the pictures in your head visible through long exposures. young leader no no for talking he doesn't just capture one moment in time and off just minutes the night. before our very eyes. yeah i mean pretty impressive absolutely we. got a chance to talk to young leonardo and he gave us a couple of tips how to do this if you want to try to yourself. not too difficult

you don't need too much equipment to try it out so even if you're interested that you can take a look on our facebook page he goes through a few the steps to to to get started as he himself was was self-taught while i'm feeling brighter or even if you want to have you brought for us well we have another photographer quite different than leonardo is names marcus killie's finish and instead of using electronic lights he uses natural lights in fact he goes far up to the north of europe to capture the borealis the northern lights and marcus is quite incredible because he will go on tracks of hours and hours of the time i think they have some of those but it just takes the sled out he goes out in the darkness say six seven hours at a time we're talking minus thirty degree temperatures minus three degrees celsius to capture his images but i think you'll agree it's really worth it i mean just because you watch. yeah and marcus calls himself a light hunter he only goes out when the conditions are absolutely perfect for the

northern lights bright clear skies he knows that environmental conditions are right so he can capture them and yeah i mean what did he say about those about those in there speaking hundred magic attack you know magic is the one actually scott. who to feel ok also when you look at this time of the yeah i often think of christmas lights do you have any of those yes you of course way ahead of you obviously christmas eve. and started here in northern europe and this is i mean it's a little bit now like lucky is back home in the suburb i grew up my dad the neighbors are competing to be more to be more outrageous over the top with their christmas lights and that's what cities around europe do so each city is trying to over do the other ones starting with starting in paris the chantilly is a i mean it was just lit up with their christmas lights these bright red lights that light up in front of the home setting off the christmas season in sort of

typical french style but. that's not to be outdone over in london in kew gardens they did the french with a really unbelievable christmas light show i mean for me it looks like something right out of disney and i would laser lights and they have a whole like with origami boats brightly lit up and literally hundreds of thousands of light bulbs that sort of set the british sky alive to maybe make it just a little bit lighter. but my absolute favorite is here and i said not quite a spectacular but really lovely it's this huge cat now in local folk tradition the cat is this monstrous cat that wanders around in holiday season and eats little children who have not received a new warm clothes for christmas. so few lovely and kind of

terrifying. have been mentioned but in but i have to tell you and my street the christmas lights are on this ugly wonderful bold moves of light they believe really need it this time of year don't you something to break up the sky absolutely and thank you so let's go from this having that lovely light into our lives and into us to dislike you. ok since god has been talking about life we're going to stick with the idea of lights the bright lights of modern cities worldwide are a familiar sight even when it's not christmas many buildings are eliminated with flashing neon signs some see this as an art form with their brash dig as an often futuristic designs in hong kong a project has even been set up to save the last of the territories iconic signage have a look. if you want to experience a part of hong kong's history you have to wait until night falls. carden china is

on the lookout for old a neon signs when she's out and about. going eighty's this is the this is the kind of like street scenes i buy it was very familiar so this is closer to. the homecoming i missed in. the colorful neon signs became a symbol of the prosperity and strong business spirit in the former british colony the local neon makers shaped them into chinese calligraphy nowadays a cheaper alternative to neon has become available. a huge one yet and then to blue and yellow one. after the l.e.d. and then one day i think i just need to educate. for china on a part of hong kong's identity is fading. hong kong is such a thing i think it's. complicated maybe. time it may not
