3:11 pm
asking to read a list of demands on national t.v. including a call for a free media. they had arrived with thousands of others good night. in anger at what they see as their governments creeping authoritarianism and the lies of the state t.v. i'm in the thick of the smoke bombs the flares and the tear gas desperate voices begged for calm was do not do not through why are you throwing he shouts. others point the finger at the police i want to see that these protesters are here for you two for you and you and you for all of you. this is the outrage was sparked by a rowdy parliamentary session last week with viktor or bands government taking over control of a judicial system that has until now been independent and weakening employment
3:12 pm
rights described as a slave law by critics. for many the seventh constitutional change in his many years under our ban was the last straw. in that look at what i'd like to have a democracy have i'd like to live in a country where i can freely decide what i can do and no decisions are made up of my head and i am very glad that we have unfortunately reached the point where the government interferes with almost every bit of people's every day life in cultural administration labor and health care here at the a better model the result is piling pressure on hungary's government and puts its controversial leader on a collision course not just with the european union but with his own people. or more now we're joined by correspondent stuff was he is in budapest stuff and in that report just there we saw an opposition m.p. being ejected from hungary state television building what's the situation there
3:13 pm
right now. well we do know dotson not far from here actually to legislate years were dropped out of the state television building dist morning once again they were trying to hand over a petition in which they demand to for instance free media as well as sent that hungry for instance the european prosecutor's office that's one of the demands and if you one day want a say free media out at least the voice of the people this day would put it now those. demands were not accepted by the state television. people and they were basically dragged out by it to security service now at a moment as we speak there is a crowd gathering again and that building and i can also tell you debt see here behind me right now this is the hungary impala men's and actually de activists were pushed out of the square here dish morning as well because the authority said we
3:14 pm
need to square for a turkish delegation so and there's also a lot of police here behind me so really they are stepping up the pressure as well on the protester said this morning a tense situation there on the mass protests have been going on for days now how much for threat to these protests posed to the government of prime minister viktor orban. well i think it definitely came i say should price for john kerry enough prime minister viktor orban who we should view by the protesters as increasingly out the critic i would say that he did not expect so many people to get or here yesterday we sold out at least fifteen thousand people according to some estimates and it is very very cool now of course the question remains whether to able to keep the momentum going and whether this will spread to order areas as well organizers are hoping that the movement is not only here in budapest but in order areas of the country for instance we have also seen protests in the city of tates and so i think
3:15 pm
that is what they are hoping here that the movement is spreading across the country but we have to see whether or not this is indeed going to happen so one thank you so much for bringing us up to date corresponding stuff on boats there in budapest. now moving on to turkey where economic problems are surfacing again that's right terry figures out today show that industrial production and he dropped five point seven percent in october that's much more than anticipated turkey's economy is struggling the neuron nearly lost half its value against the u.s. all a since august g.d.p. expanded by only one point six percent in the third quarter rating agencies. sliding straight into recession and that negative outlook could weigh on the upcoming regional elections that. the situation in istanbul seems a bit more relaxed than two months ago back then the political differences with the
3:16 pm
usa caused a severe economic crisis inflation fell slightly to just under twenty two percent the value of the turkish lira has stabilized this was aided by the fact that the country's central bank raised the key interest rate to twenty four percent so is everything all right now not really. exports rose by nine and a half percent since last october due to a weekly or at the same time imports slumped by almost twenty one point five percent domestic demand also fell by three point five percent the crisis doesn't seem to be over yet the government now wants to ensure that the turks feel as little of a crisis as possible before the important regional elections in march it could support the economy with subsidies but that would probably only postpone the crisis in turkey. the budget deficit in france is set to rise to more than three percent of g.d.p. as a result of president obama promised to boost wages for low income workers he made
3:17 pm
the pledge following weeks of protests demonstrations were originally spa and over a plan to fuel tax hike and response scrapped the ties and increase the minimum wage by one hundred euros a month the total cost of those concessions though could be up to fifteen billion euros chilling concerns of unsustainable debt. meanwhile it is government has agreed on the basis of a new budget aimed at avoiding disciplinary action from the european union the country's original spending plans were found to be in breach of e.u. fiscal rules is in these leaders want to increase welfare payments cut taxes and reduce the retirement age but the e.u. says those plans will raise the country's deficit young and sceptical levels details of revised budget are not yet. so let's bring in bring in. our financial correspondent from frankfurt only this three percent g.d.p. deficit limit is part of the used to billets the pact what does it mean when
3:18 pm
a heavyweight like frogs breaks that. it's not the best performance that you can think of of course i talked to people in the market today and they said looking at the developments and friends over the past weeks with her on the yellow vests it's not surprising that president micro had to make some concessions but of course it makes the country look bad and the overspending will likely continue i say overspending because it's not just going slightly over that deficit budget deficit level of three percent of overall economic performance of g.d.p. france also has a much higher debt load than it should have and that's also a consideration and so this is not setting a good example for of course everyone else in the eurozone at this critical time in the eurozone while talking about about that italy is the euro zone's third largest
3:19 pm
economy is in line with a three percent limit by its overall debt is enormous italy beginning to weigh on the euro. they are but the euro as we speak is going up just a tad behind the euro as of course the e.c.b. with all its firing power and while it's stopping buying bonds at the end of this year and just a few days it will continue to support the market with its other instruments and that's basically propping up the euro but of course there's a heavy mixture there the two biggest just second and third largest countries going against the financial stability rules germany having a hard time for vining leadership at the moment in the e.u. and crow losing his role as a reformer in the e.u. it's a difficult time and it could affect the euro going forward. in frankfurt thank you . amazon newark has a two german warehouses on strike today
3:20 pm
a spokesperson for the trade union says the wall concept would spread to other locations to calls for better pay and conditions have been growing allow them as an employees in several companies over the last few months the union says the spikes in germany will last for several days and that christmas deliveries could be delayed as a result. that's all your business on our visit later in the show now it's back to terry thanks god the draw for the champions league we are talking football here the champions league round of sixteen has been completed in switzerland here's the full fixture list all three german teams face english opposition win as league champions by and will play at last year's finalists liverpool while dortmund square off with tottenham shock to have the toughest test draw drawn against the title favorites manchester city meanwhile man united play french champions paris on simone
3:21 pm
a tough draw for eventis who will lock horns with of medical madrid last year's champions ryall the dritte have a reasonably easy task in i access to them leon will play spanish giants barcelona while rome will host porto the first leg so the matches will be played in mid february. well here to talk about it all is tall you know it from v.w. sports. so you get by the dortmund both topping the groups meaning they were drawn against second place teams how do you rate the opposition well it's going to be very tough luck you said they did of course their group but they came close to not doing it by crip through in their final match against i.x. they very nearly could have come second in their group and if you meant as you mentioned have got real madrid now and dortmund went through just one goal ahead of out had to go madrid who as you said have been doing as you ventus are plenty of luck involved already for both germans in terms of their opposition. who were very
3:22 pm
very strong in their last group game in the champions league against napoli that top of the premier league at the moment they were finalists of course lost in the champions league and they're looking much improved this time around so if a bomb unit that's going to be a very tough one i think dortmund have perhaps better chances they'll be a bit more confident. tottenham have lost a couple of games this season in the premier league dortmund continued to dominate their domestic competition they're playing fantastic very lethal very aggressive very clinical and punishing football in the bundesliga and tottenham unlike liverpool or even by munich or bruce you don't mind isn't really a club with a great european pedigree having said that they already produced a surprise nobody expects them to get through and they put out a brilliant go against boss i don't it's not into milan out of competitions. i mean anything can happen. also facing a team from the english premier league do you think they stand a chance against manchester city i mean it's a sporting competition anybody does stand
3:23 pm
a chance they've got themselves you know this is going to be a very very tough challenge now man city of course rely on liverpool as he was in the premier league they are as you mentioned still the top two favorites. and i don't think anybody would really disagree with the contention that pep guardiola is undoubtedly coaching one of the best teams in football at the moment which if the. i mean occurred to that's going to shock you would perhaps be a bit too much praise foremost among manchester city's talents of course i want to clean up fortunately the shark is that film a shot to play live or sat night so yeah i'm not sure which are going to be too glad to see him back in a man city strip. then not doing too well in the bundesliga of course domenico to test their side they see it in the competition they haven't really found much form they have been doing quite a lot better in european competitions but they've played so far against weak opposition that had got a right look at most of moscow and ports i mean they group i manchester city is a class above those clubs so it's going to be very difficult looking beyond that
3:24 pm
what other fixtures stand out for you well as we also mention man just you not to going to be playing p.s.g. i think for you know for somebody who loves football that is the real clash of footballing styles with thomas two who is p.s.g. taking on you know study more defensive minded coach and just a rino and between that let's go to events as one of those teams has to has to go we're going to see another tides unfold very early on in the competitions and that's another game i'm going to have a close eye on phone thank you so much tom de lay from v.w. sports. in sunday's biggest legal action frankfurt overcame visitors labor couzin in a close game both teams have recently progressed in the europa league with frankfurt facing chucked our donetsk while it occurs and will play russian side krasnodar on sunday they played each other in the bundesliga where the hosts have too much talent for their struggling opponents to handle. frank says top scorer luke a yellow which had to settle for a place on the bench but not didn't blunt his team's attack dogs side took the lead
3:25 pm
in the twenty eighth minute when philip custance crossed to danny de costa to play and i looked to the linesman but the goal scorer was just one side one nil to frankfurt at holiday time. in the second half it was coasted she's tend to get on the scoresheet office about denial as cross found the seven spice. to nil and the hosts were in control. leyva kazan weren't going down without a fight corinne bell already powered hunter huff the deficit with twenty five minutes to go. but frankfurt held on to return to winning ways off to back to back losses. in sunday's early match sharpie leipsic hammer of minds to keep their place in the top four as so often with the bulls this season it was their strong attack that helped them lock down another three points. night six regular attackers use of power and team over nowhere back in the starting line up unlike at their midweek

europa league match and they went right on the offensive housen opening the scoring in the fourteenth minute. getting to kevin compass cross just before the minds defender. like to see pressed on steep in their own half and sprang into action when they won the ball five t.-mo banner setting up house and to make it to neil only five minutes later his second of the day and eight of the season. shortly before halftime the visitors finally created a chance and. hit the target in the face of some sloppy leipsic defending that score encouraged minds to be bolder going forward but it opened up a lot of space for leipsic to counter attack team over three in the seventy fifth putting the results beyond. and in the final minutes of back to his fifth brace of the campaign for one the final score six attacking do. made

referendum she's against a second what they call he had vote for the people as she also has no other ideas and will not propose anything to break the deadlock in paula meant she just doesn't what she does best she carries on carrying on and that is the problem because of course the up with zisha is now talking about forcing a vote before christmas that would be to borrow a wednesday last chance really because every the for everybody goes away to eat that turkey and into reason may somehow tries to kick the can down the road again but she is almost running on of road at this point in time ok now you've been near parliament there gauging opinions on a second brags that referendum let's listen to some of those voices i didn't hear the referendum mother. writes.
3:36 pm
i think the reason is the. continuity of people staying really committed to the field. but it's. just. it's just. it's it's just. sometimes. it's. just a. description it's. all because of these. things that is going on. so not everybody knows what it's up to the people i mean it's like a referendum right so i think the outcome would be better for everybody but you know if you have a referendum means you listen to the people so what are you what does that mean to have another one that's still you know this is a democracy you should take with you one should have been the answer. yeah i don't
3:37 pm
know it's very confusing. so a lot of confusion there among u.k. voters a lot of confused people here too what about theresa may and her sticking to her guns as you describe is there a chance barbara that the prime minister might eventually give in to the growing pressure to hold a second referendum. she might eventually have to because what she tries to do is just sort of increase pressure make people sort of boil over christmas get a lot of the anxiety rising and problem end and then finally somehow engender and change their minds and give in to it that's not very likely because there is a lot of anger over there in the house and so they're trying to force is solution sooner than that and to to reason may and her cabinet is split on this over the weekend there were rumors that at least half of a ministers would go for
3:38 pm
a second referendum because they somehow want to break the impasse and tourism a has set them down again now this can go on indefinitely and what people mostly say if you talk to them here on the street is it is an incredible shambles. confusion and anger over break. barbara baseball there for us in london thank you so much. a new court case has begun in paris against a german testing organization that certified the breast implants as safe from the years one thousand nine hundred seventy two thousand and ten hundreds of thousands of women received silicone implants from the french company p.-i p. others implants received a seal of approval from the testing organization here in germany there are fears that even more patients and surgical products could be affected the w.'s lisa lewis met a british woman who received a faulty implant this is her story. tracy is

3:40 pm
a surgery that i didn't need i could have lived with my naturally disfigured breasts and learnt to love myself i was hiding away and feeling the i don't even have the words to describe how you feel when you. when you can look at yourself you know i waited and i waited several month until i could actually stop crying over into i could stop morning that i can either i went through then she decided to fight back and she discovered she wasn't alone tracy joined one of the court cases against german company to fry land which at certified the implants she has already received some compensation is part of the healing process that we all need to know that this is actually being taken seriously that there is legal backing behind this finally if i could get my hands on the people

3:42 pm

3:43 pm
weekend about a dozen women and demand a got together they took to the market in lagos which is a very popular markets there and they wanted to protest the sexual harassment so it wasn't a very large group as you can see here but they definitely caught the attention of lots of people in their yellow t. shirts here they were holding up signs they were chanting stop touching us and there is one activist who was also taking part in this protest she describes how the reaction of the vendors who are being targeted by this message was so she says i was at the market march and yeah but and just because we said stop touching us they booed us they called us prostitutes and lesbians and jobless people they also threw a pure water at us and one landed right on my chest a guy even touched me twice in fact we have
3:44 pm
a video here that was uploaded by that activist you see a woman here i have a water being a splashed on her and the men were standing by really just filming or laughing or pointing their fingers at the women so they're not really getting the message they're not taking these protesters seriously they're not bothered by the protests at all. take it this is not just restricted to the markets there how big of a problem is harassment in wider society there in nigeria. well we're told it is a pretty widespread problem and many activists complain about the fact that there aren't enough strict laws to prohibit sexual harassment at the workplace and also other places so people trying to take action and also force their local governments to do something for example last year there was a group of women who with signed a petition and gave that to have the lagos state parliament they were calling for
3:45 pm
stricter laws against sexual harassment but then the women in nigeria they tell us that they are not being taken seriously for example the women who were marching over the weekend one of them said i think the saddest thing that's happened today was the four police officers assigned to us didn't really believe in what we were doing they were just following orders from above i caught them winking at me and were calling us prostitutes and i also caught them a laughing i'm not there woman here says that telling them to stop even makes it worse i remember one saying about girls that no man touches when they come to the market to go home and cry and we should be happy about them touching said and these women say that they will not stop fighting for their rights and they are planning other marches and other markets in the days to come our social media editor lu sure there are thank you so much. again
