this is directly newsnight from the album cover britain's prime minister six europe's help in setting how bright said day of spring so many heads to brussels a day after saying often leadership challenge over but out of the wall how they will not be negotiated deal which is polarized but usual is also on the program. warring parties agree a cease fire in the red sea ports of the data but what if for a belief to hundreds of thousands of yemenis on the brink of starvation. kentucky high speed trying to cross into another

a locomotive on the pedestrian overpass killing at least nine people the force has detained three state run lines workers who say investigate the calls for the collision. come she can only imagine what the scene looks like common lopez's strange first blind female athletes and the world of operatives and chop which. i'm filled gal welcome to the program. britain's prime minister is in brussels seeking help to ratify have bracks a day and a day after facing down a leadership challenge at home teresa mayes hoping for reassurances about aspects of the deal that have split the party and polarized britain's parliament but the e.u. twenty seven are agreed they can offer warm words and support but no renegotiation of the withdrawal deal itself. theresa may needs help selling her breakfast deal at

home and right upon arrival at the summit european leaders seem eager to offer support to say i just said i think i'm ready to help. we're ready to have i have to agree to suspect from the way she's doing this the tenacity to do is elian it's really interesting to your question i'm really admiring meanwhile the british prime minister is facing an impossible task lobbying for concessions on the withdrawal agreement that none of the other leaders want to make i recognise the strength of concern in the house of commons and that's what i will be pushing to colleagues today i don't expect an immediate breakthrough but what i do hope is that we can start to work as quickly as possible on the shorts is that a necessary. headwind for may also from outside the european council this group of activists had come all the way from london to protest the deal. she's coming here begging the european leaders we demand an absolute right to have

a final say on that deal it is shocking it lets britain down brakes it is a horrific. thing for britain and britain needs to stay in the you because britain will otherwise get much poorer actually no bracks deal is good enough for the british people because the best deal that we've got is the one inside the european union theresa may is seeking legal changes to the withdrawal agreement in particular the irish backstop a red line for you leaders who want to guarantee that a hard to border between ireland and northern ireland be avoided at all costs to harm the to the old one salute of course we have our principles and i don't see that we will be changing it with the dollar going again but we can certainly talk about it dition the shore and says he will give. but will that be enough for may to win over support at home for now lou is political a sure and says and some cosmetic wording seem to be all she can get despite the empathy. a schedule for hoffman following the talks in brussels not welcome max

germany's chancellor has said that we can talk about additional assurances what does that mean what can they give series of me to take how. well it does not mean opening up the withdrawal agreement just a reminder there are two deals on the table the first one is the withdrawal agreement that's the divorce agreement legally binding and all the leaders coming here to the summit of brussels have see it said we are not going to touch this this is important because that's the agreement that includes the backstop to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and ireland now the other agreement is the political declaration outlining the future relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. that is not legally binding so if they do anything they might do something in the political declaration to clarify what they meant with the backstop so if i was clouded vacations ah not

a nothe sort of satisfy the british politicians and he looks like it probably won't be what then happens. you're right it still looks like a problem because the house of commons so far has made it clear that they want to get rid of that backstop at least many of the parliamentarians there so it seems like they won't be satisfied with that but you're asking me what happens next listen we have about a thousand journalists here in this room plus experts plus politicians nobody knows the only thing i can say is that since last night we have one option less on the table meaning that to resign may at least for one year won't get fired by her own party who are a you could say but it still leaves all the other options on the table second referendum new elections hard brags it pushing back the braggs all these things are still here and quite frankly nobody knows what's going to happen so you've alluded to mrs most domestic a trump. how are they being saying bad in the context of brecht's it. it seems like

the leaders here are happy that she's still there not necessarily because there are huge fans of teresa mayes although some of said they think she's a terrific leader including for example the dutch prime minister roots but they're very happy to still have someone to talk to because imagine that theresa may. vote of no confidence had gone through then who is you going to talk to it would take weeks probably to get a new leadership and you don't know what they're thinking what their plans is so this gives a little bit of stability to this whole process to this whole saga who has been marred that has been marked of course by instability. a cellphone in brussels thank you. police in france have taken the fifth person into custody as part of their investigation into the shooting of the christmas market in strassburg on tuesday the government himself is still on the run during search operations officers from one of the police units shut down parts of the neighborhood where the twenty nine year old suspect shooting shit cats live is described as dangerous and the police

are warning the public not to approach the death toll from the attack is not present to three also huge south fourth person is in a critical condition. the two sides in yemen civil war have agreed to a cease fire in the port city of data at un sponsored peace talks in sweden secretary-general and turning to terrorist shook hands on the deal with young's foreign minister talked rebel leader this round of talks or the establishment of humanitarian corridors on a deployment of neutral forces the next round his judgement for jack the city of data on the red sea is a vital entry point for humanitarian aid needed by millions yemenis to cede some of the worst fighting in the war which began four years ago. lisa ground they say un's humanitarian coordinator in the country's debt capital sana'a she told about the significance of this deal. the two hundred thousand civilians who have remained

in the days and throughout are now free from the daily fear of shelling and airstrikes and i'm bargmann and we're also relieved because the port of her data which is the lifeline for northern even will be open and secure and functional right now there are twenty million people in yemen who are hungry the united nations is providing food to eight million of those people and we know we have to do more and that's why we're going to be scaling up and providing food to twelve million we'll be bringing that food in mostly through the port of the data and this is another reason why the ceasefire is so welcome and so important and the steps that have to fall into place so that we can end this tragic and terrible war all of his has been looked at in the past we were very anxious for the next round of talks to occur the fighting thing in has had an enormous civilian toll there are millions of people who have been brought to the brink of famine because of this war and this

is why it's so important so urgent that the war stop and stop now. those conflicts as push the country to the brink of famine malnutrition is widespread and aid agencies say the crisis is entirely manmade. cries of pain like this are commonplace in yemen. two million children under five here a severely malnourished. and what have these children done that they have to suffer so much and we're all suffering life is tough here disease is spreading children are starving including those who are at school. every medevaced four hundred thousand children in yemen will die if they don't get urgent medical care hospitals that are relatively well equipped like this one in sana'a are few and far between outside the capital the situation is dire parents have to transport their desperately sick children often hundreds of kilometers to get help i know. my

daughter started throwing up and had diarrhea so we come all the way from ties to sana to get a treat it was just that any again you know in rebel held areas of the country there's a sense of skepticism but also hope about the peace talks in stockholm civilians are desperate for the conflict that has been depleting the population figures to finally come to an end. i expect the negotiations to be conducted seriously if the fall of the political situation on t.v. it's clear that there is a seriousness when it comes to finding a solution for yemen. in the government held south of the country people are also hoping for peace that the south receives military support from saudi arabia humanitarian aid remains very limited the u.n. needs to help families here to to prevent more children losing their lives to starvation. to some of the other stories making news around the world officials in

israel palestinian has shot and killed two israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank two other people are said to be wounded the shooting happened near the jewish settlements of palestinian seven people in a separate attack on sunday. is expected to pass legislation to allow the formation of. the nation currently has a four thousand strong security force was born the move could threaten peace in the war scarred region. was huge as in brazil and the rest of the country's most famous face following allegations of sexual misconduct two hundred women have accused. of sexually abusing them while they were seeking spiritual guidance and treatment he denies the charges. were celebrations outside court today the judge ruled president's order to dissolve was unconstitutional the

country has been in political crisis since october present three. dismissed his prime minister the ruling could see him. at least nine people have been killed and many more injured in a high speed rail train crash just outside its capital shortly after leaving central station a high speed train carrying more than two hundred people collided with a locomotive checking rails on the same roads some survivors were able to walk away . shaken but alive a man stumbles from the mangled wreckage of the six thirty train from ankara to kanya in the dark of the early morning rescue teams search for survivors buried beneath a mountain of metal and concrete. emergency services treated the walking wounded as passengers described the scene. the start an argument we hadn't yet reached high

speeds when it happened i was in the sixth carriage we could see that the train had been ripped apart and had come off the tracks. the express train was just a few minutes into its fateful journey when it crashed into a maintenance locomotive seen at the bottom here and then flew into a pedestrian overpass a suburban station and that collapsed it's unclear how fast the train was traveling at the time of impact or why the truck was blocked efforts of now turn to recovery and the search for answers took as president said justice would be swift. co-sign a judicial and administrative investigations have been launched regarding the crash and the state prosecutor's office safe has detained three people this crash will be investigated in all its dimensions so those responsible will be brought to justice

and whatever is necessary will be done. outside the local mortuary anxious families waited for the news that had been dressing as the full extent of this tragedy started to much. business use misting bears they now and it's bad news the end of cheap money for europe but still good news for savers however the european central bank having announced the end of its massive and controversial bond buying program known as quantitative easing by the end of december these to be believes the eurozone economy no longer needs central bank support to grow in total the e.c.b. has bought government and corporate bonds worth two point six trillion euros since the program began in march two thousand and fifteen purchases were intended to keep the cost of borrowing down as present locked up in a weakened euro zone economy critics however say the program disincentive eyes euro zone countries for making key structural reforms to their economies. and we spoke

earlier about this with our correspondent in frankfurt conrad bosun he said the e.c.b. move has been a long time coming. that's true but the e.c.b. had a couple of things to say which were new and which were quite interesting for the markets for example the e.c.b. said and i quote this because it sounds a little bit complicated it will continue reinvesting in full the principal payments from maturing securities if purchased under the asset purchase program for an extended period of time and past the date when it starts raising the key e.c.b. interest rates which means at least until the summer of twenty nine excuse me twenty nine thousand of course next summer and this means yes the e.c. b. is ending its money printing at the end of this month it's not going to print fresh money and buy bonds for this money but it will continue to buy bonds whenever some

of the bonds that it's holding expire the money that it gets from you know this expiration will be reinvested in bonds and this means that of course the e.c.b. is making this phasing out of its quantitative easing program very very slow critics of this policy many of them here in germany will say like that like this the e.c.b. is not shrinking fast enough it's huge balance sheet. staying in europe it's a land border that's gummed up the bridge that process borders separating northern ireland in the republic of ireland but fishing boundaries also matter to many on both sides of the debate in scotland for example fisherman fear there are little more than leverage for future trade negotiations. scottish fishermen in the village of pitchin we are skeptical of brics it promises. although scotland as a whole back to remain in the twenty sixteen referendum most fishermen pitch in we

overwhelmingly supported leave. your forward to more or. less. i. think those two communities across britain fisherman deeply dislike the use common fisheries policy which stipulates how much fish and shellfish can be caught and they're not happy about foreign vessels being granted access to their traditional waters we don't get to the say it's all decided by them and we feel that. touch more than ever was in the touch of more. may is about britain will become an independent coastal state free to catch what it wants and negotiate access to its water plan calls for the country to remain in a transition phase lasting at least twenty one months during that time it will continue to obey e.u. fisheries rules. but fishermen in pits and we must skeptical that the deal will lead to an independent fisheries policy. as a coup or as a bargaining chip officials say they're all looking at the bigger businesses cut

imports by we're just we're not on the hunt for the government officials are going to see. the catch is predominately exported to the e.u. members like france the netherlands and spain which could impose tariffs on such imports if britain doesn't grant fisherman continued access to its post horses. so is it a tit for tat chinese authorities are now investigating another businessman from canada michael spaf or is the second canadian citizen to find trouble from chinese authorities detained former diplomat michael covert on monday the two cases appear to be retaliation for the detention of monk one joe high level chinese executive and c.f.o. of phone maker while away by canada all requests from the united states the whereabouts of this mr spock for remain unclear. this is businessman michael spade war and this is what he is known for bringing people together in this case for an

athlete to pyongyang to play the north korean hockey team. he is a canadian businessmen with a cultural exchange company based in the northern chinese city of dying dog he is also the man behind the unusual friendship between u.s. basketball star dennis rodman and north korean leader kim jong un spader is possibly one of the best connected westerners in secretive north korea and now nobody knows exactly where he is before beijing confirmed it was investigating space for kenner's foreign minister confirms something was wrong. we are aware. of a canadian. gone in touch with us. because he was being asked questions by chinese authorities. spader also uses his base in china to promote investment in north korea but china

says he is now a security risk. back to europe now where the european commission will not be allowed to raise nitrogen oxide limits for cars new court ruled against the commission on thursday and in the effort to further limit emissions france belgium and spain were among those countries against the planned amendment it would have doubled emissions limits to one hundred sixty eight milligrams per kilometer decision could however throw off some consumers and carbon factures may have been planning on higher missions limits and it raises the likelihood that more european cities will erect their own city travel bans to ensure lower pollution levels. and back to fill now with deadlocked climate talks in poland i believe thanks so much stephen you haven't yet u.n. climate summit in poland ends tomorrow risks ending in failure secretary general antonio tatars awarded the two hundred ten intensive counterfeits to find

compromises or risk leaving empty handed yemen describing the fight against global warming as a matter of life and death it had been hoped the summit was finalised regulations from the twenty fifteen power support but may go say just disagree about the amount of change needed despite overwhelming scientific evidence skeptics still deny the existence of climate change that includes skeptics within the governments of brazil and the united states. brazil is representing a welcoming and colorful image at the cost to which climate conference the country has been considered a climate change pioneer until now reducing greenhouse gases where it could put newly elected president natto isn't keen on climate protection the national farmers association is staying optimistic i think there is a change of speech and i change our narrative but brazil continues being a very stable country as we've got during the last ten years of things. however

during his election campaign promise voters he would pull brazil out of the twenty fifteen. his climate agreement climate conference are not only a place to talk and take action on climate change they're also a way to represent oneself to each other now some of them are climate skeptical countries like the united states have already opted out of that they're not having a pavilion this year and captivates the question though is what will the election of climate skeptic bolsinger mean for brazilians participation in future climate conferences. there have been wild protests against the united states and cut of each the americans are advertising their coal industries and environmentalists are angry u.s. president trump has already abandoned the climate agreement and cut funding for climate protection in developing countries by some three billion us dollars so very disappointing that the u.s. which have traditionally been a supporter of this process to some extent is not completely derailing is still the most powerful country in the world this process being here although it's out there

want to leave together brazil and the us are responsible for roughly one fifth of global greenhouse emissions the possibly more concerning is the looming political damage their rejection of climate protection policies could cause. now you might remember i buy a refugee with the german chancellor that changed his life for the worst three years ago i'm a modern mom he fled syria to escape the war and ended up with a burn in refugee center. to represent the waves of my courage for him to learn germany in twenty fifty and chancellor merkel's welcoming attitude towards it ended up going viral on facebook. t w has been following up on that story for a facebook series on what happened next and social media is a kind of nostrum it has to tell us all about the unexpected for it from so welcome a couple. yeah i mean when a nonsmoker money took that photo he told us he never could have imagined the

consequences that would have followed it became on the one hand a hopeful symbol for syrian refugees that were looking for shelter in germany on the other hand it really became kind of a tool that people used who were seeking to discredit american open door refugee policy this really was a case of your of the classic so-called fake news i mean that picture was used out of context to claim that botha money wasn't just a refugee but he was a terrorist he was falsely accused of being involved in all kinds of crimes from the terrorist attacks in brussels to the attack on the christmas market in berlin among others you can see here just a few examples of the many posts that were shared on facebook thousands of times with that selfie in them all of them foals all of them false i mean the picture was real this was the picture you took with uncle americal but it was used to say that medical century took a picture with a terrorist not just refugee and that was done by far right facebook groups for example as a result what really started as a happy moment for on us turned into

a nightmare here's what he told us. and before they had a really bad feeling i was just so scared of the selfie and didn't like it anymore and i wanted it to disappear from the media because they were calling me a terrorist to get on thompson on this one i wanted them to figure get me into this thing i don't want that people who hate refugee use keep using my face money because they're not telling the truth and on top of this and. he says this really stained his reputation to this day some of those false posts are still out there on social media so was he able to do anything about it well he actually took the rare action at the time this was a few years ago of taking facebook to court and this is what he did you actually looked for an injunction against the company arguing that the platform should be responsible for preventing people from reposing his picture with false information next to it in the first place now he end up losing that court case but in my

opinion this really kind of set the stage back then for some of the stricter privacy laws that we see now that were not acted in germany and also europe wide in terms of tighter data security and people taking more control of their private information also limiting the flow of fake news of it and so what is life look like now well he's kind of just your average refugee your average kid he's twenty one years old now he is studying german as you can hear it's pretty good he has a job here in berlin now as well but i'm not is also facing some similar challenges that we see with other refugees especially when it comes to difficulties with integration. i sometimes don't feel comfortable here and if anything. i'm always treated as a refugee no matter where i am. people treat me as if i come from an dangerous islamic country in. one. or more on his

but not everyone benefits from the booming business. mix and. environmental destruction starvation. the selling out of a country dead donkey. starts december twenty ninth on t.w. . you're watching the news live from berlin i'm focused coming up in the next fifteen minutes couple determined to break the silence on mental health in kenya as africa's levels of depression in crates. and what do you do with the dead in a country that running out of burial space in a population that doesn't like cremation we find out how south africa is dealing with this problem. first that we take a look at elections coming up in the democratic republic of congo with only ten

days to go a fire has destroyed thousands of voting machines in the capital kinshasa authorities say about eighty percent of the equipment has been destroyed opposition leaders have previously rights concerns that congress first use of these machines could lead to vote manipulation in favor of president could be a success and officials from the election commission say the vote will go ahead. as a count mugabe from africa can tell us more welcome at first . glance this looks suspicious what are investigators saying by old standards feel it is suspicious in a way that remember that keesha is a stronghold of the opposition and of course and to no there's no investigation report so far that has been carried out but when you know that as a mission eighty percent of the voting but you have been destroyed so it's like all things put into vote rigging in the coming days ahead once the election takes place

on the twenty third of december ok so the ten days to go eighty percent of machines that destroyed i mean it's still going to go ahead so what are they planning to do . i really doubt d'être commission has an admission anything but i wouldn't be surprised if it was pushed again because congo is really a vast country it's not in a small country in africa and of course when this election is to commit long wait to be prepared you know where you have committed prison saved if you go ahead but there's so many adults know that you know the whole of his have been destroyed by saddam but you have been destroyed so we can brace for announcement in a way all right stay with us isaac well we'll talk more in just a moment. just been hearing president long president kabila seventeen year rule coming to an end tensions are running high his time in office has been dogged by allegations of corruption and human rights abuses young congolese a particularly frustrated and i agree so let's take

a close look at one activist group trying to change things. around the pollution fight for change they saying is also the name of their movement they demand political change in the democratic republic of congo. politicians don't know what it means to invest in development they prefer to line their own pockets with money. instead of using it for everyone. the majority of those involved are students and young academics they want the state to be more accountable to its citizens which has led them to today's campaign weak removal. on the island that we want to show the state that we are here and they are not doing their jobs we want people to see that we're saying take a look the authorities should be cleaning this up but they're not.

it's the city government's responsibility to make sure this mess is cleaned up so while the group is raking away yunus taka distributes leaflets. maybe someone is interested in joining the group the activists are demonstrating against the government and specifically against this man president joseph kabila he has stayed in power two years longer than the congolese constitution permits activists the opposition and even the catholic church have repeatedly taken to the streets to protest according to human rights watch almost three hundred people were killed by congolese security forces during the mostly peaceful demonstrations over the past three years. has friends currently in prison there were at the same demonstrations she was a tackle was herself repeatedly detained and beaten by prison guards. that got me angry i asked them why are you doing this so that hurts when you hit me with

your club it really hurts. but they nevertheless hit me two three four times. i was in pain i thought to myself that is the pain of freedom and i have to endure it for the people in. the democratic republic of congo has countless problems corrupt politicians exploitation of natural resources armed conflicts in the eastern part of the country there are more than four million displaced persons. and an absolute lack of infrastructure. we have two countries in the states the cities and in the rural areas these rural areas were ignored for a long time which is why eighty percent of the populace lives with almost no infrastructure. and joseph kabila is not on the ticket in the upcoming elections

later this month but he has named a candidate his former minister of the interior and manuel ramat sunny shot ari if he were to win many in the congo fear continued stagnation that he could be the loo to activists are taking their fight seriously they engage their fellow citizens call on them to fight for their rights and not give up regardless of who wins the elections in late december. about. d.w. africa. tell us more than about the promising confident that i think in all fairness i should say the leading opposition can do too much in favor if given a chance can bring my need to change in that year i see and i think that's why you're seeing more action on his supporters in with me and of course i mean the anointed one you know that is imminent that he from just could be as candid and he's not only not popular at all if if i should say in kinshasa but of course that

you can be sick and if you know enough about it mean you mean but he's going to freak out anything the unity committee can do treat ten power to do it so i won't be surprised if he's announced that we know but it just says maybe didn't get the vote yet so if i mean if it is to should our research should should we presume then that he is kabila puppet and that nothing will change that is the right to actually use a stooge and of course it's it's you can't believe that you know many people think that he can bring so much change is special that you would be dancing according to of doing you know and instructions of could be there just like you have the russian you know absurd to put in and maturity of so there is. in congo right now that should he win i mean we shall see a return of kabila twenty twenty three just like you mentioned today ok so given all of the recent violence that there has been on this fire at the electoral commission what do you how do you see things playing out of the next that ten days

. i think indignance ten days we expect to see more violence and lace these all the politicians come together and form a kind of bucked just like was the case in a geria and this eight or ten supporters to embrace peace in order for the election to go ahead but without that we expect movies of the coming days and i don't really i don't see that this election will go on as planned good talking to you thanks for joining us. from. well the number of people suffering from depression on the continent is increased according to the world health organization nigeria leads with an estimated seven million people diagnosed with a condition followed by ethiopia d r c a man south africa kenya is ranked sixth but with nearly two million people diagnosed limited access to health care and people reluctant to talk about it depression it can it's definitely undetected

and undertreated w.c. if commodity has been speaking with one kenyan family determined to normalize discussions around mental illness. this is not an easy interview for the career yuki's my can catherine have agreed to speak to us about their son josiah his life his struggle with mental illness and his death. last year we lost. it just on the tube. and just had been battling with depression. we had it in a couple of stories using a cough. he should authorize all. that obviously and then we took a trip to the u.k. and he did just like it took us totally by surprise. kenya is among the ten most depressed countries in africa according to the world health organization one in

four kenyans is likely to suffer from a mental illness at some point in their life but mental health is a taboo subject here not surprising they felt alone as their son four to depression . as a parent you tend to feel like what saved it ac what did i feel as of today i feel as a mother so it's very hard to talk about it with other patients because no one is talking about it people regard mental illness as not of that you see the bit as something. to be sure. dr victoria i'm a commerce says stigma is the main reason kenyans shy away from seeking treatment and when they do they find it difficult to get the care they need we're talking about probably less than one hundred second trysts for fourteen million calles and over fifty percent of the psychiatrist will be in nairobi so that leaves almost

there stuff kenya without mental health walk us this deficit means the internet has become the most popular consulting room particularly for young patients having dealt with depression himself designer frankly inside a little act as an online intermediary he uses his social media influence to encourage dialogue while connecting people to health care providers over the few months that have passed by. i heard people just running in boxing me pouring their hearts to me and it's overwhelming at the same time scary cause i am not a professional like i don't know how to help you so that's when i thought of me being rather contacts then link this people to those contacts at least out of tried help someone after their son's death the career key set up the josiah g. karaoke memorial foundation the goal is simple to tell young kenyans that it's ok not to be ok. to south africa now

a country that's running out of space to bury its dead in the city of johannesburg the country's economic hub burials are limited to allocated cemeteries but there are no more places a growing population coupled with rural to urban migration is what huge pressure allowed in the city an alternative solution cremation is unpopular particularly amongst all the south africans who want to follow traditional customs so now johannesburg officials are having to think more creatively but what to do with the dead. at the avalon cemetery on the outskirts of johannesburg three generations of discipline law family are in mourning. one of a growing number of burials in graves that have been reopened. grave diggers here have been busy lately. every week sixty are dug up to accommodate the newly deceased you're very much like. mother.

so because this is. just in case and it's never too will we felt it would be. easier for us to do is the opening and it's cheap but. there it is chip that is digging a no because i. demand for urban cemetery spaces on the rise the owner says demographic changes have left burial plots at a premium. where of these is frost diminishing. this is caused by job work. is currently experiencing migration rates internally within the country coming from different every have and also explain coming outside of. one solution lies in cremation. but cultural

resistance has proven difficult to overcome we can look at me so now i think the opening of the it's a wonder because no one. that troubles me you can even move if you never hear. me because they have passed. with officials warning that cities could run out of burial plots in just fifty years this sort of thing may just be the solution even if critics think that the dead are not quite left to rest in peace so what do you think what are the best solutions for cities running out of space to bury that how do you feel about cremation be great to hear from you you can get in touch on facebook facebook dot com w africa or you can tweet us at d w news.

farmers in africa often struggle to afford the most modern equipment so they're increasingly developing their own uganda for example one researcher has developed a light tractor you can plough weed and rush crops best of all it does it for a fraction of the price of a full sized tractor have a look in uganda most farmers use hand towards johnson to sing wheat and needs ten workers to. land in a week if he had a truck to it's a job that could be done in a single day i don't own a tractor because as i'm quite expensive. and according to my savings and income i can't manage the bank. but an affordable solution is on the way. at this workshop outside company owned by macquarie university ugandan scientist noble by now has built a three wood truck to m.v.

morning as a local store tentative for farmers there is a market in africa for the farmers this produce production that they are that sort of their problems being sensitive to cost for the most important thing you know of course. well but that does yet to find commercial investors he hopes the m.v. merely me will cost less than four thousand dollars per unit. that's still a lot for johnson to sing greedy but a lot less than imported structures they cost up to ten times more than the morning me. the trucks can be used to plough and also to pump water for irrigation or they will have been fishing water right from their very down here just what in this world if it pumps were up to where we need to end they were going

to be much easier. and after the harvest the m.v. million meals so comes in handy if i can hook this attachment up to the engine to thresh maize cleanly and quickly but the deceived is still improving the technology which has been largely built with locally sourced material these more look kind to be improved to become a need to get a low cost intelligent system whereby you can be would a system here where there was a farm now based on the rain for it's time to plough this send it next message. based on what the period you've taken time to prune it's time to weed is then to harvest. enough rika a lack of mckenna zation still keeps every culture you would slow but with local

solutions like the m.v. malini taking off the continent isn't a part to overcoming that. and back to bill now with a look at some football results a blue for what steve yes last night's champions league tournament so by and munich and i x. i'm stuck facing off in an exciting three hole draw the drama started with just fifteen minutes to go much level up wall is thomas miller worse than tom for this high kick to that penalty for each team made it to the eleven dustin tigers school with the sack gone kingsley cro-magnon the biota had an injury time just jobs thought they'd done enough a victory nicklaus tell you i think of that all the much again through all scoreline and leads by a man on top of the group he's never dusty after the much. long unusual highness biggest thing i've not played in a game like that in a long while. if i'm not going to luckily we managed to get through it.

we know where we can improve how we can play better. of course in attack we could do with putting away two or three more chances that it wouldn't but in general i think we've shown our potential. we are not so the last team into the champions league final sixteen is leo they travel to a snowy ukraine and manage to one draw with shutout and that's enough to put them through so let's take a look at all of the teams that made it through asked group witnessing german sides by dortmund these teams will be seated in part one for the next draw there are still some european heavyweights in pots to which features the group runners up notably last year's finalist at liverpool i drove to see which teams will face each other takes place on monday.

if you have a visit berlin you have to go to the famous museum island as the showpiece of the city's cultural landscape of two five count them five new sales of i'm not a small the final piece of the decades long puzzle is not finished today architects on the keys for the brand new james zima gallery which will sort of the new business and i'm going to discuss the details welcome i think of what is the significance of this new business that this is it with one hundred ten of those concrete columns and most of significance ok so it's supposed to function a little bit looks quite different but functional little bit like the glass pyramid at the louvre in paris for instance which you probably to was perhaps and decide which of these fantastic museums you're going to tackle first so it was the pression king fleet which behen the fourth who actually had the original idea to create this entire sanctuary of art and science as he called it so it's literally on an island in the middle of the spray river which makes it extremely unique and

it's got these five museums crowded on to it they are the ones the m which houses the collection of classical antiquity and in the back there you can see here it is and that's a nightgown every year the old national gallery showcasing nineteenth century art and then there's the noise museum or new museum which has the famous past all of the egypt and queens now for t.-t. in its collection. and the pentagon which is a huge draw with its famous pattern one alter fortunately currently that part is closed and undergoing renovation then last but not least the board a museum which boasts an impressive collection of don't so about two million people within the art and everywhere and it's also a unique unesco world heritage site i should add and when the paragon renovations are finished officials are certainly hoping that they're going to be able to double those visitor numbers so it is as you can see a constant work progress in. it's taken many many decades to get to this point that

this not just bringing it all to fruition. award winning architect david chipperfield developed the master plan for the overhaul of berlin's museum island and also drew up plans for its grand entrance the new james cmon gallery. the complicated construction project was subject to numerous delays it is now finally being completed after seventeen years at an estimated cost of one hundred thirty four million euros. to the from right now the five museums are like five friends sitting at one table. but with their backs to each other. and. james in the gallery will link the open spaces and museums with each other. and the. british architect david chipperfield

also oversaw the major restoration of the noirs museum which was heavily damaged in world war two and had been neglected for many decades. at first not everyone appreciated his plan to combine historical and modern elements today however his work is celebrated as an impressive architectural achievement. chipperfield in started on this project in one thousand nine hundred nine his philosophy was to respect the ruin and not to cover up the marks left by history he wanted to restore and carefully preserve this historical building while sensitively complementing it with modern elements and. its and what and for. now the james seaman gallery two is already for us it's set to open its doors in the summer of twenty ninety. look

forward to let's talk about james as the man who is this dude ok so he was the entrepreneur here in berlin as the son of a jewish cotton merchant who became an art collector and a philanthropist and was one of one of lynne's most important patrons of the arts at the late nineteenth century he had a particular interest in archaeology and he collaborated with him fun border of the border museum fame to found what was called the german oriental society that under the guise of in the early part of the last century financed a lot of the excavations that were done in egypt which is lined if a t.d. that famous bust ended up in his private collection now that's of course seen very critically by many today but very early he did certainly make his private collections accessible to the public that was very important to him he was very culturally engaged also built an awful lot of facilities public baths and the like for the poor so this new building is. definitely

a late on there for him and. has really left his mark on brother house and continues to do so it's amazing he's actually also in charge of the current renovations of the mist on the whole window and that's when i got a view which are probably scheduled to be done in about twenty twenty so he's busy on many on many territories if you will but the museum island is definitely his crowning glory sort of his acropolis we can look forward obviously to this james eagan gallery next the temper or next summer chipperfield described it as being sort of a shopping basket of all things that the museum island was lacking so for instance a lecture hall or a special room for temporary exhibitions there's going to be a huge bookshop and of course. red representative restaurant which will be complete with a terrace and i think it's promising to be a safe place to hang out there is more on the web site zuckerberg guess g.w. dot com slash culture kind of house of thank you so much. that's
