the military dictatorship that ruled brazil until nine hundred eighty five wanted the forest shut down and ordered the country's space agency to monitor the clearance now researches the trying to protect the environment the yellow areas on this map show where the rain forest has been destroyed. the areas of the amazon that have been deforested at up to about twice the size of germany. cattle and soy farming require lots of land the farms of profitable in the short term but in the long term research is argue intact rain forests are more important andres team demonstrates how that could work they map out the forest selecting individual trees to be logged valuable would then this area will go untouched for thirty years each what we're missing in brazil is strong environmental policies environmental awareness and a public committed to the use issues as long as the priority is to make products as

cheaply as possible overexploitation will continue no one's watching out for the forests brazil's recent presidents didn't do much for the rainforest but many fear the country's new leader will usher in unprecedented destruction. with twenty eighteen now and a new good beginning we sent one of our reporters out to austin in the german capital about their hopes for twenty nineteen the answers were pretty mixed not everybody's feeling optimistic in these troubled times. the light was twenty nineteen be a great year because i think it can get any worse they can only get better at least i hope so. we're talking about two thousand and nineteen and what will be good about it looking at this topping up thing will think

a good year for me. because i love this woman. because i'm pregnant. yes i expect one baby so i hope he's going to have one. for me because we will continue to see our child growing up and we hope to move from munich to berlin and i'm actually going to go to the courses and learn german . politics the most positive thing that can happen is that he goes by being voted out or some other way or he commits a focus so bad that even the americans can't stand him anymore. he could do would be to really think about what he says of the tweet and maybe he should revise some of the things and say he's sorry. she's losing power and now she just gave up her cd you leading position so what is good about

that losing power. for her. now more time to to stay at home and to have her live as we are so to sum it all up why is twenty one thousand going to be a good year. so two thousand and nineteen we're wishing for it to be a good year but only sets of laws can make wishes come true of. the. well from all of us here it's we want to wish you a very happy new year well leave you with another look at state abrasions in new york way even the rain couldn't stop the party. happy. i.

state by state. colorful. the liveliest. the most traditional. find all that any time. check in with a web special. take a tour of germany state by state. w dot com. surfing income tax go out on reckons there's nothing better even when to doesn't stop him going out on the way no do water temperatures of minus full degree celsius . it's an arduous and many

think it's more than a little insane. i'm told is dream is to see an entire industry on the russian pin in seal a devoted to sell things. but how is that possible in a place where it's winter for nine months of the year. and john believes it just takes faith and hard work.

kamchatka the land of a thousand volcanoes. it's winter now i'm john and his friend constantine from moscow need a snowmobile to reach their favorite beach the gravel paths covered in snow. i'm their weather app predicted good conditions but the closer they get to the beach the storm near it becomes nature is wild and i'm really encouraged to go and the weather is unpredictable out here they're at its mercy. look there's a from coming. not unusual at this time of the year the two don't want to give up straight away but too much wind can be dangerous. but really three or more often the weather is good but changes before we

get to the beach it was a year before the front of the series i saw the grey front that i knew there'd be a strong wind coming and. not so good for surfing but. i'm town on constantine are among the few surfers who go out when the weather is below freezing anyone can surf in bali they say but here conditions are house and the climate must in this. here needs to be good. the two have sat out many a storm in this little hut at anton surf camp anton grew up in kamchatka for years he flew around the world to go surfing and worked in various self camps now he's trying to set one up income cutco.

constantine comes over from moscow as often as he can he enjoys the simple life around here and the straightforward nature of the people he says people in the far east of russia are much more laid back than at home. and of. course you are. meanwhile a powerful snowstorm is building outside for three days the can chalk up an insular in russia's far east remains in its grip. and this stretch of coastline is in the same time zone as tokyo and closer to alaska the moscow which is about six thousand eight hundred kilometers away. in the past nearly everyone here live from fishing oafish processing that's what the city of paid throw pavlos was built for during the soviet era most people live

in prefabricated buildings which will look pretty much alike. the housing went up fast it's now showing its age falling into disrepair. how could this be a paradise for surface. and john constantine looked like visitors from another planet the older generation view the surface with their brightly colored boards with suspicion how can anyone make money with that is a question even anton's father asks eat used to work on a trauma and like most people here never earn very much and tom has inherited his love of the ocean and his relaxed approach to one. of. its finest long as it doesn't lift dogs out of the air the wind has dropped

a little it was really wild during the night but we're no strangers to that we live with it there's no chance of an observant person what shortfalls in the war will suffer with the port authority. but the stone doesn't stop them from climbing on to the south boards and using them as snowboards. the boards can take this kind of treatment they say they were made in kamchatka by friends. just three hundred forty thousand people live on this iberian peninsula about the size of germany most of the main pietro pavlos.

the ice free ports was built understanding for the pacific fleet paid. through pov lost became a center of the fishing industry people's dream to come lured by good working conditions offered as compensation for the harsh climate anyone who worked here could retire early and settle with their savings in warmer climes. but those days are long gone life has become expensive income tax and harder lots of things need to be imported but not fish there are five sorts of salmon at the market and they're all cheaper than in moscow prices have risen. salame arena explains which to do with that as our man officials got more expensive in the last four years most has exploited fish is one of our natural resources and not much of it stays income chakka that's why prices are rising because there's

less of it you know mahler. three but is if exports were cut and more fish stayed here it would naturally get cheaper. since the economic crisis prices for everything have been rising across russia and kamchatka is no exception. if you sit in the we now live more frugally we used to be better off and didn't give a thought for the future because people in can't check were well looked after. you now we worry about the future like you in europe we have learned to tighten our belts. those doctors who can come home mom. people blame the big offshore fishing fleets they take everything they say that's why prices have risen even fellow confection. rita came here thirty years ago from peasant stand to earn

a better wage but times have changed is no longer a mag. for young people. the my view is that many young people are leaving kamchatka we need new sources of income in our youth we believe that if we could build up tourism there'd be more jobs again and more people get. most of the kenya problem. she wants to see tourism promoted. shore so does anton he's convinced that kamchatka needs to develop new economic sectors and he intends to do all he can to help his dream is an entire industry here devoted to sell things. to. these boards were made by friends. and john constantine planned this exhibition in pay throw pov

last to draw attention to surface potential. for the moment the surface with their instagram profiles as still considered oddities as photo exhibition i'm told once to give people an idea of what culture is about repairable people is going to drop . these were the first surfboards made income chuckles. the work of local guys. they're making real progress and we're very proud of their handiwork. we think. this rusty old drum is known among sofas as a bomb which is russian for a down and out it's used deserve brazier which surface gather round to get warm and tell stories this one has heard quite a few. i think every anton son mark a future champion needs to start early his wife marina is also

a sell for both of them want to pass on their passion to the two year old. oh. he's growing up with equipment this is a balance board for example. that has my picture on it and my son recognizes me and says that's poppa. none of it is new for him for me it was a revelation for him surfing and everything that goes with it are already part of his life as natural for him as throwing stones was for us. but all our school and our business which we're building up together are slowly growing there are lots of hurdles to overcome it's not cheap either and this is not

. the main suit caps and shoes are needed all year round and they had to be bought so that we have them in stock. but our surf camp now has an international reputation you know. people coming to us because they want to experience nature you still. need to spear our days you visit. next morning this dome has finally died down the sea is calmer in the volcano is visible. and tone and constantine want to try their luck again even though a neoprene suit keeps out a lot of the cold it's hard to suit up from minus fifteen degrees celsius.

thank you. but. since i'm tom has had the surf camp he comes here frequently this is his getaway a place where he feels one with nature. the boards are treated with a special wax. after the birth of the casket morgan was conceived by wax the board so that my feet don't slip and i don't fall in the snowball of optional shingles that wouldn't be much fun otherwise this wax is vital for some new laws are going on. and tones record is minus twenty two degrees celsius temperature and minus four degrees in the water the waves crackled it was the greatest kick of his life only the very toughest day to surf in these icy temperatures on the rough bering sea the north pacific current ensures that the bering sea almost never freezes over what does sometimes freeze is the foam on the waves which makes

a crackling sound. even when the water further out seems calm the waves are powerful. it's a battle to stay on the boat. finally he succeeds. when i do so the going to surprise you have nobody but yourself to rely on out there the

sea is incredibly powerful here fighting the current drains your energy. because i could still feel the effects of the storm today when i was trying to catch away with the ball more but. it took years for constantine to pluck up the courage sometimes they see whales seals or even all cars out there you just look what it was hard because the current is still strong the waves are tough but once you're out there it's great i saw seals it was really cool i think god was the stimulus was just missing sure but i was afraid of the just the going to try to leave everything that has nothing to do with surfing on the beach on a blank sheet of paper when i leave the shore going to want to do and that's how my contact with the waves and ocean begin was going through that's just a historical research i close my eyes take a deep breath to come back and start to surf around i'm still going to.

these bombs has been with them john from the outset. he brought the old drum here for the launch of his surf camp and his lip many fires in it since. the surfing is followed by a dip in the hot springs they're found around the volcanoes all over the peninsula the beauty of the natural surroundings is also part of the experience. as you just bomb and look in with what i come here a lot of wars and i have done it for twenty years now perhaps even longer long it has become. i used to come with my parents on picnics and that's part of our

culture and to talk with the board. even though. britain was near the back of. the south poti in the evening draws guests from far and white even in california they started small i'm tone sands. and he reckons this laid back lifestyle does russia good. over the last quarter some of those there are lots of people and lot of all stock who surf and find this new surf culture cool let me circle in the good she should just almost on the ocean soon shows you your limits and checks your ego as the surfing is also spreading at present to cycling to the could rely locals to the entire far east people from regions that have no ocean

come to us we could say that what we're currently seeing is a minor surfing revolution so softly on those i see i wouldn't have dreamt that something like they screwed up and in russia as i was growing up snowboarding became popular it was unknown in russia it wasn't possible to buy a boat but there weren't any we only sold them on television but then they became more and more popular and the same is happening with surfing it's developing into a real sport for marina and i'm john c. that at this serves they hope that something in russia will one day be as popular as in america after all they're closer to seattle than to moscow and the people generally have a more cosmopolitan outlook on usenet that it meant that five years ago we were asked if there were waves and kamchatka we used to have to repeat over and over again that we actually have good waves all the down the he said yes but that's all

changed people now come here in droves lots of people have now developed a taste for it and come to our service. it's growing slowly and steadily but ideally you know that when a better idea here it didn't hit me yet that god. brisky anton grew up in this rundown fishing town the people here used to work for a large fishery combine the whole town was specially built for it people came from all over the soviet union to work here. mean. anton's father also worked for the combine as a fisherman and he was proud of it is employer supplied the entire soviet union. about jabbers come dumble can use the source of all those people came from many

cities in russia to earn a living in our capital residential buildings sprang up everywhere about with the year for you more about it but it was a small town everyone knew everyone else and the place team with life it was a real community able to. produce be able to bull market but to me. this is where anton developed his love for the ocean he would sit here for hours with his father and learned all about currents and winds now it's a desolate see. the only reminders of the town's proud past are the skeletons of ships. alexei came to a risky as a soldier a merry tale. he only intended to stay free yeah but then he worked his way up to become technical manager of the fish factory move forward in

a few minutes we used to employ one thousand two hundred people at the factory and seven hundred a cocotte so. the collective farm unfortunately this but through it with the. new factory built homes on this side of the town called cause one is on the other with a total of four thousand people used to live in covers because the board after napoli go horse messin in there today there are only sixteen hundred and this is for full circle of young people today want to live in the city he says in the past the boats used to glide through dense schools of pink salmon but not anymore fish numbers have declined your do most of your split with. the japanese are partly to blame the biggest critic of the struggle our all for a cheese of band drift nets of fish stocks are still doing gold you know here more here for. the big operations gone. only

a few small ones are still in business fewer and fewer people here live from fishing. a handful of young fisherman work here in the summer but nearly all of them have jobs in the city as well fishing is now just to supplement their income. just the weather growing so there aren't many fish if it improves would be there maybe. they used to be more fish here they blame the big offshore fleets for the decline. for these fishermen at any rate the catch is pretty poll. tonight

from. well you have to know what you're doing you've got what you need to have a feel for fishing to be good at all cultures simply put out in nets. yes they're going to live with any fool can fish with them that way. better because you were brought by. diana runs a small fishing business back in soviet days she worked for the big combine which employed full brigades of workers back then fish was abundant the work force were allowed to take it home free now she says her business struggles to survive who are . the international market. i used unfortunately there are lots of poachers here they fish in the spawning grounds that sell their catch and pay whoever they have to privately. that will not buy the. everyone knows

what goes on we're now dealing with poaching on an industrial scale there's still a pigeon. look this is our wife i password she says for the past days everyone here has been looking forward to internet access and will jump at the chance to get the call me and the mighty this will save us time and paperwork we won't need to make all the trips to government offices we can now do everything on line including banking. imagine twenty five kilometers there and twenty five back you've seen the roads it takes ages but me going to go to that has been cured of gretna if you want the fishermen are delighted to have wife i they've been totally cut off from the rest of the world. pressure here because this means i can keep in touch with my friends and i can check with my friends on social

media option if you're going to mess. with it. just give it to. them. the ship but. we're not giving them to you. not far away fishing inspectors are on duty andrei is one of them cracking down on well organized gangs of coaches who sell their elicit catch abroad. to do in your offer to listen to all of the flings are not the biggest problem but the best fish is sold abroad very little fish makes it to domestic markets and very little of that is good quality would get. so high quality fish is sold abroad because it fetches a better price than than in russia. the very something at one time when you look down from the bridge in the river was

blackened teamed with fish should be oily. andre grew up here his father was also a fishing inspector he knows how sharply fish stocks have declined. or ok you know what you know there are lots of coaches on this river because the fish here an easy to catch. them crazy money if they get just one ton of caviar they see it as a bad year and every tom and the more than a million rubles that's a minimum of fifteen thousand euros even though fish stocks have declined coaching is still lucrative. song to nevada with being a fishing inspector can be a dangerous job. we even run a risk sitting in this boat. you know we're going to find you and you go i don't like human life means nothing to

a poacher joyce goes we just. need new thing is those who say they shoot at us and stayed. down with them boats to keep their catch any boats but i know both of you for some of these world. andrei has no thoughts of quitting despite the risks they say rear is close to his heart he'll do everything in his power to protect it . from your desire and you'll see it was like i'm just you and we i was born and raised in come chaka and when i see the symbol of come chuckin being destroyed i feel it's my duty to help. move the ball more sports but i want to make sure that future generations know fish from the river and not just from pictures when you're over the wood is over. but the poachers ignore bands and prohibitions they fish day and night.

unlike the fisherman the surf camp is doing good business it's midsummer now and the water is around eight to twelve degrees. i'm told is busy making preparations for the and you also festival he started it up three years ago and it's already a huge draw. and to live miller is one of the few women in the local surfing scene and told to sell. surface from every part of the country have arrived overnight the camp is full. here they can buy products from the area. in the shop was set up three years ago by saha a local businessman and surfing enthusiastic. more

of. everything here is making it income tax go. the truck in motion while we import come check in needs new ideas new directions. generates a new energy creates a new movement and development for the far east. it's a well known fact that a special energy emanates from volcanoes in the ocean. but it's true we may be a long way from moscow nearly nine thousand ten thousand kilometers if you but people still come here even from abroad.

these young selfish come from moscow where they are members of the band they have been surfing or living well don't have long wanted to sell income. you know you mean there are probably not very many places in the world where you can ski down a mountain and then at the bottom get into a neoprene suit and run straight into this again so it's already in the. first year which an overly thought of surfing is becoming increasingly popular in russia and lots of people would prefer not to go abroad. so you know what i see i think a growing number will try out kamchatka as if it's a perfect destination for which it was you want you know time. is thinking about

entering for the competition the problem is. she was the only woman and would have to compete against an all male field and turn on the surface here for a final briefing on the weather currents and waves with your bullshit you know who are. the final touches a being added to a restored soviet railway carriage it's going to be used as a caravan the two arches some painting it a picture of no children. but you're going to need it and not. just a. kid who grew up in come to his father also worked at sea.

life was a sea man and he's a captain more and that's why he told me stories connected with the theme fishing can never thing and how is all shit in the works and how it feels to be in the center of the storm so it was the stories he started to tell only when he finished his war so i do not know maybe because it it's like a big show for c men not to tell everything quelled their walking and so tyranny is like. something what a region in the came from comes out having come back from ancient greeks. the surf camp has now been set up time to chill before the competition oh long ago

. what song would you make sure no one was just because some little group will. getting growing numbers of people here that i was with just one short little building and it's made season and the festival will draw lots of people from the far east also from cycling and bloody bostock because. it looks to me like. anton and the others encourage look she's anton's best student but you should know i'm going to have though. the first time i stood on a board wasn't twenty eleven. i'm really close to it a condition you can only go surfing for three months a year. and then the monster himself checks out the water and when. this beach used to be deserted since it was discovered by the senses it is stunted to attract city for

more and more of them each year. they like the surface easy going at each it and they like the spectacle. of. a growing number of people join the service book. and everyone gets a free trial before they enroll. and john gives some last minute tips and instructions he surf these waters for yes i don't times of the year his advice to novices forget your problems enjoy the moment . in the past no one would have thought it possible to self here

but now it's an inside. tip and still growing. yeah dollars at the switch it's one day i think surfing could be as popular here as in california maybe in twenty or thirty years i don't know if we'll still be surfing when it peaks but i can imagine twenty five thirty percent of people engaging in it your finger got caught in the course to get the point out of that at present there are twenty of us fifty at most what about. the five states no more is big business our ship with regards to surfing is also attracting more women many of those here were taught by anton real motions dorie others of this is mega-fun brilliant on days like this the side of the volcano just leaves me speechless to see the volcano the fresh air it all makes for a wonderful atmosphere a wonderful cosmos atmosphere. was most. it's mostly

young people discovering come to chat as pristine landscapes many of the people here are from petra pavlos. more here than you see other groups to pull it wasn't always like this five years ago there was no one here but then suddenly the right beach culture developed with it which is sort of people saw films and photos showing the beauty of the place she told us she was feeling when she was for the status most of going to see. nowadays people from pedro pov lost come nearly every weekend whenever the sun shines.

so how one's anton to teach him. thing. but what about that going back about the night you know that one and thomas friends first turned up here about two years ago people thought they were crazy because they went into the water in the winter and most. people joked that they would freeze to death with anton and his friends and now admired his thanks to them more and more people are becoming interested in surfing and nature and they're coming here i've been watching because they've got those of us like your mom and told me to get a move on a group of students are waiting at the south camp. for the first thing they learn is how to keep their balance. sheet was one of them and tony explains the rules for competitions miller has made up her

mind she'll participate the only woman against twenty men most of the schools. they come from sakhalin bloody vostok simply choose but moscow. rituals are performed to give the contestants drank in the post they would perform to fish him. and told knows the seagull duns from his childhood he doesn't see this is a tourist gimmick. known as i do this is not all of them stated that i'd hoped there would be other women in the competition but they're only men and they're all pretty good that i'm going to have to give one hundred fifty percent and he said that's just up i see i'm up against real athletes so it's going to be tough physically and also psychologically. especially i think of. on me to give it all i've got was. mark's and. if you got off the road with.

lots of drawn for the groups. so the mother of all the symbols of the fall of the village will give. the men tend to do weightlifting to prepare for competitions miller trains by going rock climbing unsubsidized saying the weather has turned again dense fog has formed the miller watches the first teams even the most experienced contestants are having problems with the sub in rough seas. and then it's her turn. at first she also struggles to. put in the envelope miller achieves the impossible she wins against all the men.

but yesterday at that time i was really lucky i had some good opportunities surfing takes strength but to catch the right waves you also have to be able to assess situations correctly yann. you need a number of skills but you should have a rest if the chances that. antonio is hugely proud of his students will nor your character you see all of the most she has character physical strength and has done sports since childhood she's a rock climber but above all she has incredible willpower which. solves all steeple crackles. and she's the only woman who ventures out onto the water in winter she gave a fantastic performance and everyone agrees. the group from moscow pay her a musical tribute. and then it's time to celebrate the miller's victory the wonderful day the beautiful sunset nature life.

i think. that. they come here for the sense of freedom something they don't find in the city as a result come chats go really does seem to be developing into a paradise for surface even if when to here last for nine months they have. no. doubt that the news of the ocean is like a living thing it has a soul and it's always different it can do anything it can have pity on you protect

you it can fill you with unforgettable positive emotions but the need to be anything but on another occasion it may teach you a lesson punishing you will show you the extent of its strength and power she. has xmas eve guys. like. to come and chat it's under my new revolution anton is pleats. to.

i'm christine one to welcome to the program. as twenty nine hundred takes hold from the east to west it has now reached the americas raindrops in along with confetti as reveal is celebrated in times square but skies were clear when festivities began earlier in the pacific let's take a quick till. for millions of people around the globe the last moments of twenty eighteen was spent holding their breath then that's the clock struck midnight the show began. from kuala lumpur to sydney. to hong kong. hours later twenty one thousand came to pakistan. to dubai. the home of the world's tallest skyscraper the border collie far.

i. have gone to the lebanese capital beirut. one of the largest new year's eve celebrations in europe is in berlin at the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show. but. it was a similar scene in the city of lights. i. ran across the atlantic to copacabana beach in rio de janeiro. in new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight not even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm this year's event had a serious note celebrating journalism and press freedom i

i i now to some of the other stories making news around the world in tokyo at least eight people have been injured after a man drove his car into the crowd of people celebrating new year's eve police say the suspects been assaulted and ninth person on the street this week the one year old has been arrested and is being questioned by police. u.s. citizen elizabeth warren has taken a key step toward challenging president donald trump in twenty twenty five democrats has formed an exploratory committee which will allow her to raise money for her campaign agenda includes giving workers more rights and stepping up consumer protections as middle class. a nasa spacecraft is believed to have reached the most distant object ever observed after this the new horizon spacecraft is expected to soon start sending images of

a frozen body in the solar system's outermost region scientists hope the flyby will gather pews about the creation of the solar system. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic fly by almost six and a half billion kilometers from a. but we've never been anything not only so far from the sun but it's so well preserved in this ultimate freedoms of the corporate we are absolute zero so this is the time capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have

a series of science objectives one of the prime months them up the geology of. the whatever craters it might have on its surface with whatever fractures other topography anything that will give us clues as to how it how it surfaces form. the new horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen in past the doors planets and found it to be larger than thought it kept going another billion and a half kilometers deep into the quite the belt to reach ultimate tooley this stage of its mission is the most difficult. we're farther from the earth and so the communications times are much longer we're farther from the sun and so the lighting levels are lower all of these things add up to a much tougher much more challenging why buy. new horizons will continue on into the further reaches of space and could yield even more discoveries for years to come. and joining me now from reston virginia in the us is kate cowan

a former rocket scientist and editor of the blog nasa watch hi kate thanks for joining us today so we're expecting images off the five by it will take some alice to reach earth but what can we expect to say well right now we're only seeing images from quite quite a distance of this one or two pixels the sheep seems to be oblong and that's all we know and that's what we're really waiting for because flyboys like a bullet chasing the bullet one of the bullets has a camera so it's all going happen very fast and then the images will be sent home with the check six hours to get back here so that's why we have to wait all right so nasa is calling this admission his story just how significant is this well we've been on with the solar system but we were visiting worlds that have been you know made out of stuff that the sun is heated again and again for billions of years but it was made out of something that normally we don't see where we live but

going this foreign sort of solar system we're visiting material that's probably unchanged since the origin of the solar system were five billion years ago so it's like literally getting in a time machine going back to see what it looked like when everything started. all right so we know that this is the end is this the end of the new horizons mission or can we expect to see more data. oh this space propose a lot of gas left in the tank it's likely it'll busy yet another small body like this and after it's done that it could be transmitting data per their decade or two so this is the spacecraft is going to keep on giving. all right that's the case in virginia for us we appreciate you staying up for escape thank you michael. north korea leaves a kim jong un has used his annual new year's sadrist to warn that he's country may change direction on its promise of denuclearization if the u.s. continues its sanctions and he's televised speech kim said he remained committed to

working towards the last in peace on the korean peninsula and strong a copper a sion between north and south korea he called on the south to stop its joint military exercises with the us. kim also warned the us much to test north korea's patients not our prove that he knew that i am always ready to sit down again with the us president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome. however if the us miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world that we have no option but to explore a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean peninsula. i'm joined now by a boyce's correspondent josh smith he's than seoul for us hi josh how serious

should kim straight be taken. well i think his speech today underscores the fact that both washington and pyongyang are unlikely to support a continuation of the status quo this will increase pressure on both sides to try to make some kind of progress on those sanctions as well as denuclearization of north korea the united states forces that there has not been enough progress by all of korea towards actually giving up its nuclear weapons and while kiam as you highlighted in his speech today is showing some impatience with what he sees as america's insistence on continuing the sanctions. and josh came to an end donald trump for that historic summit what's been achieved. well between the united states and north korea not a lot there have been some negotiations but many of the talks that the two sides

have plant have fallen through both camp in trying to say that they are committed to trying to meet and get it next year and there will be increased pressure for them to show some kind of specific agreement coming out of that there have been more progress between north and south korea and this is something that can also mentioned in his speech pointing to this is an example of progress that can be made in a way that's both beneficial for north and south korea. josh smith reuters correspondent thank you very much. thank you. decades of the seven city also the italian city of mel terra struggled with extreme poverty and the development the city's mayor has called it a period of shame now things have changed for me tara the city has become a european capital of culture for twenty nine t. and is hoping to attract thousands of his it says much of material is built in and around caves where people lived without electricity or running water until the mid

twentieth century terra was long considered an eyesore but now the unique way it fits into its environment has made it famous. perhaps chosen as a captain of culture because it's such an example of native practice this city wasn't built in one architectural style but it developed from day to day in real life the. part of the capital of culture celebrations is a dance performance called the atlas of emotions it explores aspects of how the residents of mattera live choreographer henniker says it shows how unity locally might serve as an example for europe. especially now that things are somehow falling apart i have the sense that it's a unifying project. we connect the shoemaker to the bacon and so on everyone has these emotions here. tara officially begins its year as one of europe's two

capitals of culture on january nineteenth with a multimedia extravaganza including artworks dance and theater. and the new year beginning we say in one of our reporters. in the german capital about their hopes for twenty nineteen the anstice were pretty mixed not everybody's feeling optimistic in these troubled times. some of the lines was nineteen be a great year because i think it can get any worse they can only get better at least i hope so we're talking about two thousand and nineteen and what will be good about it looking at this stuff up legal thing. for me. because i love this woman. because i'm pregnant.

yes i expect one baby so i hope you're having a good one. for me because we will continue to see our child growing up and we hope to move from munich to berlin and i'm actually going to go to the courses and learn german. politics the most positive thing that can happen is that he goes by being voted out or some other way or he commits a focused so bad that even the americans can't stand him anymore. he could do would be to really think about what he says of the tweet and maybe he should revise some of the things and say he's sorry. he's losing power and now she just gave up her c.d.u. leading position so what is good about that losing power. for her it's good that she has more time to to stay at home and to have her life as we are so to sum it

her. hi and welcome to a special edition of keano coming to you today from the city of frankfurt famous of course for its skyline and for being germany's capital of high finance but frankfurt is also home to one of the largest film museums in europe and they're honoring with an amazing exhibit a cinematic masterpiece. two thousand and one a space odyssey the mother of all science fiction films. in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight director stanley kubrick rewrote the rules of cinema in a way that continues to amaze and inspire. this conversation can serve no purpose

anymore today on keno we're doing a deep dive into two thousand and one we're holding our entire show to stanley kubrick's classic film turns fifty this year but two thousand and one is still way ahead of its time. when kubrick began putting his son five masterpiece together in the mid one nine hundred sixty s. americans in saving its were vying to be the first to reach the moon to develop a visionary but believable set design kubrick nuts the experts who had worked with rocket pioneer advena from power on the front foot show explains how meticulous nearly every technical detail this planned. kubrick was the first to use product placement this futuristic watch from the luxury brand hamilton went on sale as the film opened but only

a few original props are preserved cooper destroyed most of them. this is a replica of the model of the famous centrifuge a hamster wheel weighing fifty tons and twelve meters in diameter filming was so complicated that it took several days to shoot just a few seconds. won't see much of the galaxy. the space scenes were created with a laboratory mission by hand without computer technology. you know when you think it's some models it's a wooden glue and straying and nothing shows it's. just a testament to how careful he was and god knows how many with how many. sort of takes they took of the model because obviously the special effects to corrupt time . more than one hundred people worked on the special effects and learn kubrick

spent four years making the film at london's m.g.m. studios going way over his budget and schedule. with his team he created images like none before. so there was a very open kind of art school atmosphere let's see let's try there was no oh we can't do that it's you know that was a red rag to standing cause say oh we can't do that is or why not why can't you let's try it so everybody was able to be as a maginnis heaven is crazy and wacky because there were no wrong answers brooke wrote the screenplay with sapphire legend arthur c. clarke the goal was to create the definitive five film probing the question of extraterrestrial life and artificial intelligence that spirals out of control in the form of the onboard computer held. it in the pod bay doors oh.

i'm sorry day i'm afraid i can't do that. that's the problem. i think you know what the problem is just as what is right what are you talking about . this mission is too important for me to you to check good times. it's really a philosophical film it's not really a science fiction i call it much more philosophical film and it is so fresh because it doesn't contain in its essence anything that can be outstate it's because we are as ignorant as a row fifty years ago about the miracles of the universe. where do we come from where are we going. stanley kubrick's two thousand and one a space odyssey office now i want to it's only stunning images the journey continues.

and i'm joined now with ellen haring the director of the film institute and the film is in here in frankfurt thanks for joining us i want to talk about two thousand and one. when was the first time you saw the movie you remember and you remember remember what it did with you did you remember its impact i remember very specifically and one of the great fortunes that i've had in my career is i've been a film programmer and i was able to hold off on seeing two thousand and one until i could see it on the big screen you know i can only imagine that everybody who would have a chance to see the movie this way would just be carried away by it it's a very famous story of when the movie was first released people actually walked out of the premiere you know people who had traditional expectations of a hollywood movie and were looking for a linear narrative and it wasn't

a box office success at the big. inning but then they really did the marketing and i actually know this the guy who created the tagline the ultimate trip and they positioned it in nine hundred sixty eight as a movie that would expand your consciousness and you know kind of subvert your expectations of what a movie should be and it attracted young audience that interacted you know people who were in the counterculture and it became a huge hit because of that i mean what but you something personally that you find interesting fascinated with the film terms of its history but just as a film goer you know the amazing thing about this the photography the visual effects just watching the beauty of each of those sequences and the fact that he's really willing to hold the camera and extend a sequence and ask you to step into that vision and to just take that journey and

then when you have the marriage in certain sequences of some of these classic pieces of music that also is incredible because now people when they hear that music it immediately makes them think of the film as it does with me. but the whole exhibit here dedicated to the film what it's about adds to understanding two thousand and one what i really like about this exhibition and the way that it brings the audience in is it shows the whole production cycle it shows that stanley kubrick was an obsessive he did tremendous amounts of research for every movie he made and spent years talking to scientists doing scientific research thinking about outer space exploration and nobody had landed on the moon yet when this movie was made and there's this famous conspiracy theory that neil armstrong

never landed on the moon but the footage was shot by stanley kubrick it's. one of the great myths of modern culture. a a l so it's amazing to go through the whole production history in this exhibition you get the view of the filmmaker and all of the creative team and then it all comes together with the projections that you see of the film sequences and thank you so much for joining us and two thousand and one has had an immense impact not just on cinema really the film gave us a vision of the future. rounds going throws a major. sum on one thousand nine hundred sixty eight a stone's twenty one year old david bowie watches the film too fast and one in london's casino cinerama say he goes home and writes space oddity his own musical homage to alienation in the space age with its lonely astronaut major term.

strategic fixed west germany in one nine hundred eighty three major tom and twice peter schilling to his only since pop hit. two thousand one may dystopian side find cool in l.a. and ridley scott takes the idea of how an aloof and indifferent supercomputer one step further. in early in the ship's arrogant intelligence called mother demonstrates how humans themselves have become obsolete. whole. hello day. your looking well the ominous hal nine thousand times apple computer pitchman in this commercial from the late one nine hundred ninety s. two thousand when computers began to misbehave three hundred twelve the same sense

time of two thousand and one inspired countless i five films but least competent to keep it for his space adventure the motion. but there's no more affectionate how much to two thousand and one than interstellar director christopher nolan says kubrick's masterpiece is his favorite film with interest early he delivers an updated and equally fascinating vision of a space odyssey. and two thousand one continues to inspire a pop culture in his video to believe that he credits rockets into orbit as director michel gondry quotes kubrick with every shot.

each. other. and that's all for keno special on fifty years of two thousand and one a space odyssey if you like to geek out on cooper we've acar web site with lots of trivia about the film and if you can't make it to frankfurt for the exam but next year is going on tour to london but for now i'm here with al harrington and we just like to say took a bite open the pod bay doors hal i'm sorry. i'm afraid i can't do that. to the owner. of the. planet. the men. are not complete.

you're all maxed out. you're a good dr ro i am are so long there's this weekend duramax everything's different incident celebrities are calling the shots. today british photographer rank in this in charge money is right in things they can see my upset if your mexican food when. you're romans next d.w. . dick tracy nineteen police in cancun. and the kick up series almost political event. we check it out with the favorites and the fun. and thoughts of inside info but. it's ninety nine thousand and he's been caught on. sixty minutes.

counting to. discover a good concept discovered with the boss. a school oh my. after one hundred years the ideals of the bombers are more relevant today than they were. both people so we're shaping. with this. small part documentary starts january thirteenth on w.

a. today making his closing full stop the talk referred rankin he has invited him to join him in his studio in north london stenches town district. however why welcome to this special edition of your own max i'm your host amazingly and co-hosting with me since day is our very special guest world famous for hire for rankin but i thank you so much for having us in your studios here in line it was a high well you name it from the rolling stones david bowie and madonna the queen even miss piggy you pretty much filmed and photographed them all so i guess it's fair to ask you for my first question what is

a day in the life of rincon like oh it's quite long because i'll be very early or probably wake up about five maybe five thirty i get out i check my emails very quickly i then take my dogs for a walk for about an hour and a half i come by so i'm back by about six to seven emails to about nine thirty and then i come and say generally no go shoot which is very rare i'll do. meetings and then a probably finish about it was have a lunch at one and also the meeting never have a lunch and then probably finish by seven and a half meeting. ok so sounds pretty ordinary even though you're surrounded by celebrities when you do actually do a shoot yeah no i'm pretty much a workaholic so everybody thinks i'm a photographer direct match the much more i have a publishing company i have an advertising agency director wrecked. i have managed

to do you know the studio which. yes some kind of place needs a really high they say can help us put the show today together we're going to be talking a little bit more in-depth about your publishing company will come to that later right but you know your subject very differently from superstar athletes like le bron james a basketball star to actresses to singers what we hear the creative process of how you start to shoot who it's all differ is it was different you know sometimes it would be mean it's come up with the idea the idea sometimes an agency sometimes it's a client sometimes it's a celebrity that comes out with a bass and start with a brief which is like a treatment. of pre-production that gets all the stuff that you need to shoot together. with the celebrity all the model the subject going

to her make up if it's goal kind of concept behind it might be like a makeup concept will spend ages to in the can so i call it glam prism which means i'm waiting for glam and then we get on set and we shoot digitally which means that everything is seen by everybody and it's a very open forum so everybody can comment on it and sometimes that doesn't work for you because maybe the subsea is not in a really good place that day so you have to persuade can be very different. oh nice it's. because it's very collaborative ok we want to take a look at the work and life so far of. a world famous he manages to do what most photographers going to only dream of capture unforgettable moments with stars like. david bowie and politicians like mikhail gorbachev. many of his works have become iconic. like

this official portrait of the queen to mark a golden jubilee. the british photographer is in demand worldwide he shoots photos and creates ad campaigns for international labels rankin has even made a name for himself as a film director. did nine hundred sixty six he demonstrated a good sense of humor early on in his cell phone. when he was in his early twenty's rankin decided to make photography his career and moved to la. this is where he got his big break back in the early nine hundred ninety s. together with his college friend jefferson hack he founded youth culture magazine dazed and confused. stars like. model kate moss.

actress kirsten dunst and pop star justin timberlake graced the covers. of publishers fall fashion and lifestyle magazines and has issued more than forty books of photographs he has his own studio publishing house and ad agency. his latest print project is hunger magazine which appears twice a year. and with his ambitious project rankin live the photographer shows that he can make anyone look like a. couple months since two thousand and nine he showed pictures of thousands of ordinary people like here but it's an ongoing invention which takes him around the globe. sometimes even famous faces and immediately recognizable in rankin's photos like icelandic singer or top model heidi klum whether it's his celebrity portray it's

all photographer rankin has created many iconic images including some that will go down in history. so you have done so much and career what would you say was perhaps the breakthrough not not one thing but a couple of things probably photographing. was a big thing set setting up day in days magazine and then photographing the queen does i will tell us about that of course. i've done a little research on the queen and found that she had of sense of humor so i was really focused on getting a photograph of her without sense of humor and also she. part of my camera fell off and she started laughing so once i'd seen now i was like that's not going to get and i start to cry mom can you small please my small man can have small until she smiled and then i got it now you've also worked with ordinary people what are the challenges there the challenges of working real people. are pretty much the same

this work in the celebrities is used to make people feel comfortable and and i think the thing is always more difficult for her famous people because they go to their face their way of being shall and to get them out of that is is more complicated whereas real people it's more about just making them feel good you know making the film comparable and so yeah so what is your preferred medium for working film photography print i think probably fits all. happiest because his wife's kind to you you know i picked up a camera was twenty one and it was a big big deal for me because of the light bulb moments. photography stephanie my first love i think film is so difficult to get right says my challenge in my life and i don't think of nail to particularly yet with drama in quite well with commercials and the rise of idiots and in two thousand and seven you started yet another magazine hunger yes why is it called hunger. a star i don't because i left

as a creative director and i'm miss the kind of. tone in the team aspect of it because he gets so much information for you from and ideas for from working a team and i was still hungry hungus in the thick of it. now the subject of our next report is media artist m. cole tell me a little bit about how you discovered her on net through my agent so you see who was me rep in photography and she said i want to meet some new surprises and she said oh check the skull and color she's really interesting and i saw her work with some things i'm familiar with so i asked if i could meet her and she came in and the first question i asked her was you know what you're interested in and sort of session with technology eight because most people your age are more about analog in the kind of looking backwards and she said well it's around the industry and it was

full of middle age white men no offense to me and those are. your amazing and then she told me his story and it was such a. intense in her way of dealing with what's happened to was for her. i was very taken by her well in saying on the subject then of coal and her work i want to take a closer look now in our next report. works by british multimedia artist. provocative and often unconventional photos and videos are her preferred mode of creative expressions. some of this very task and something that's and. talked in film is a plot medium so i want to bring feeling from it so if i can get people to feel something through the texture of the color in my amateur.

them studied information experience design at london's royal college of art there she discovered her passion for photography and video art. i ended up just kind of playing around in the. i found the immediacy of photography so much more rewarding than spending twenty four hours on a sewing machine trying to make. you know i could just throw stuff in the show and people in the shot and get the pitch and i'm. you know works predominantly as a photographer and director much of her work is inspired by surrealism an artist like salvador dali. like her short film i'm your venus. is poking fun at the. connections from the cost of plus who are nice to see the most ideal. and connecting it to day.

by themselves. in the wilds so i kind of recreated. a new. kind of an. around the stereotypical presentation of women as a team. victim to digital abuse when pictures of her were distributed on pornographic websites. on the plug in for a few years she's back on line with fresh confidence. you know if you've been bullied out of a space you shouldn't you shouldn't be ashamed to be in that space you just have to be those much sonny video i mean i get newton some of my work sometimes i'm pushing like stuff. i've got control of that you know i'm not going to let somebody else take control of my online image if it's going to be that is going to be mine. humor and irony are two important stylistic devices m.

cole likes to employ regardless of whether the topic is serious or not like in her video sloppy seconds. to my anything serious or especially problematic social problems and humaneness is a universal tool to say that people can relax and then once people are relaxed the so much more likely to get an understanding if you're one of. them cold certainly can't complain about not getting enough commissions and the british media are just as confident that her career will continue to blossom. and now ranking has invited meghan to take a short will through this area of north london where he lives and works. and calls not only a media artist you've also featured her on online and in your latest edition or upcoming edition of your magazine tell me

a little bit more about this collaboration well i told my agent as i said and she she is somebody the icing people should be aware of so i was very very keen to care seach it online i featured in days as well i think that when you get you know when you meet someone you really think is brilliant at what they do you really really want to get them as much p.r. . or were standing right here in the middle of london your friends. gotland why i came to town one can unlock oh i moved here because. this is kentish town and say ok. when i mean here it was pretty much the only place in north london i could afford to move. around the corner and i moved here in ninety six just over there and i lived here and in north london since about noise six well you know moving from style in to london i mean i'm just guessing but it must've felt

like you were a small fish in a big pond yeah i didn't know anybody in the industry when i moved to london i was very much from a kind of known commercial photography no not no not since i was in background say it was a very strange experience and that's why it was great to meet jefferson at college because we were by from the same boat and we confuse yefim days movies and we ended up kind of you know china kind of make a mark here without any support from anybody really and why here why not hollywood for example i mean you work with so many of these levers famous faces i think then we had no clue that we'd ever be working with all the would we were very much focused on you know we were by for college when we met and we started the magazine days if he's at college and he was really just a way of us kind of documented in creating culture that was around hollywood wasn't

even on a radar all right i want to pull a little bit back to social media again i mean you started out in classic publishing now we live in the digital age you're also really active on social media . it's a classic photographer but also someone who uses social media to promote your work what is your responsibility when it comes to teenagers and image in these images of beauty online well i think everybody that picks up a camera professionally has a responsibility to this. to hear your such a gross thing to while you're photographing them but i think nowadays well i've i've kind of love myself for free for process for knowing you know when you push the boundaries yes to really know why you're doing and what your intention is to you know to get to the problem is that now people have got no idea of that responsibility and using it kind of willy nilly so i think that actually now it's

got more responsibilities pillai all now it's a pick some focus on not ok well side art for our next report which rankin also helped and choose today we're going to take a look at teenagers social media and social media obsession are teenagers winning or losing in this digital age. these days you can do much more with a phone than just make telephone calls and send text messages. news apps help you keep up with what's going on in the world twenty four seven. four you can play games to your heart's content. and if you need a train ticket you can buy it with your smartphone. thanks to streaming you can always access your favorite music. social media platforms such as snatch at facebook and instagram allow you to communicate to friends nonstop. the possibilities are endless what do young people use their phones for the most.

when i need to find out when the next bus is coming from music audio books everything phallus i think mostly to interact with over people and also to take some good photos i use it mainly for. to you know to discover the city on my own listen music a lot and obviously social media i use for surfing the internet to make. victor assume. to speak with. with people. is one of his particularly popular at the moment instagram instagram instagram instagram instagram post them to. users can upload pictures and videos using various filters share them with others and like entries instagram already has more than a million users double the figure two years ago. people share their favorite experiences vacation snaps are particularly popular as are pictures of animals.

and of tasty looking true. it's a perfect platform for showing off and users love it. especially as it offers them the possibility to present their life in a different way. definitely it's not the real world i added stuff everyone edits things instagram is going to have because this is really what is really happening in our lives a lot of so there are reports everywhere that things are always being edited out there's definitely a lot of them on instagram i think a lot of people edit their photos. you can even change the way you look with some apps and undergo a digital beauty operation but this is not without problems studies have shown the digitally enhanced versions of the ideal body are having an impact on people's perception of themselves. you can even change the shape of your eyes in one click

this it says really makes a difference. make it easy to have plumped up lips troll that's really weird. people doing gnashing my face like if you got used to doing that all the time when you would like yourself a favor. or you can have a narrower nose if you like. soldiers like this one then says if we were surrounded by perfect people but that's nonsense it's not the case at all and nobody's perfect . and this new station teaches school children in their parents how to deal with social media. some children already have smartphones at the age of eight. where they such must have excessive fees. social recognition it's a need that we all have of the social networks tap into this need very simply literally at the click i can upload a picture after buying a new pair of sunglasses and share it with my friends and get instant feedback on

what made on the phone. to stitch ones to ensure that young people use their phones and computers responsibly. in other words continue to use them but not excessively . the question is whether you can do something with arms or small are you still able to it's important to teach children they can survive without their fun but they can get through a day without them and the person who can talk. kongs and social networks can beat addictive. so sometimes the only answer is to switch them off. there's a lot to see in rankin studio. they can especially like his ranking master friends have. now you want to talk about the subject of out the issues of teenagers in social

media addiction why is this topic important to you well photography as a medium has become very democratic lots of people using because as small phones and i found myself on different social media platforms kind of wanting to go back to the mint check them a lot and i suddenly realized for about three years ago that i was addicted i was addicted to walk people were thinking of how people were relating to it was it being liked and i thought well if this is me being addicted to it then if you're a ten twelve year old kid how's that affecting you how's that influencing you and i started to talk to people about it and i just got this overwhelming. you know response from people that they were having the same feelings start to do some research on it and it was really obvious there was a lot of statistics coming out that actually people were addicted and a lot of the platforms we designed to be addictive and i just felt we have a responsibility because it's photography that they're using the using them as

a way of talking to each other photos are way not about capturing a moment their way of conveying a moment because that is something that i do i just felt responsible and i felt that we should do something about it ok was and he said you felt responsible what have you done and you know you've taken any action or anything yeah well funnily enough i am actually taking quite an interesting action of trying to set up a symposium with my publishing company days media to actually discuss all these things and i've been writing what we call white papers which i liked ocular essays on and trying to get a group of people together to write an essay a series of essays on it ok so you're saying that you did become addicted to social and seeing what people were saying about you do you still use social media and i do but i'm also looking into other kind of more ethical ways of using social media because the problem with it is that it's not necessarily the people that are

running the companies the problem is the algorithms that they've created are just constantly feeding our desire. is something. i mean it's something that we need to investigate and discuss and of been charm really hard to look for alternatives but yes i still use it it's impossible for me not to use it because it's part of my business as far as a life of everybody's life and also i don't think even change anything from the outside i think you need to be from there with with the inside changing and creating content that's a little bit different or trying to challenge people or even having fun with it because on movie somebody that like take the mickey out of things. ok yeah going on but on a lighter note now with selfies you know some guys are meant to be fine. in their very very tight dress if you do you think why do you think they're doing us i think it is a modern a slur the people perpetuating for you the same type of imagery and i really think

the problem is is that if this is what you are putting out is your kind of happy life you can as online life it's. lifelike and also people are looking at these images of people and they're thinking it's real or that thing even if it's fabricated they have a better life than them and i think that sets people up against each other and back in the day when photoshop came along all of the media especially the magazines got really criticized for using photoshop on celebrities are role models now you can go and buy some equal face chewed and you see people use not own on on social media and not inherently is one of the worst things you can be doing because not only are you crying a fantasy version of yourself that's going to mess with other people's heads as well so you're messing with heads and both ways well i am glad to hear that you're trying to do something positive in that direction but unfortunately we are out of time for say yes parecon thank you so much for having us here in our studios and

for co-hosting our show i hope we made you feel comfortable as co host and co editor in chief to say thank you you did thank you all right and with that we are out of time on this special edition of your old max with our special guests today for hogger for rank and for me and of the rest of the crew here from london as always thanks for tuning in. the british public thank you.

one of the largest new year's eve celebrations in europe is in berlin but the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show. and. it was a similar scene in the city of lights paris i. happen. to . then across the atlantic to copacabana beach in rio de janeiro. in new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight not even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm this year's event had a serious note celebrating journalism and press freedom. now

arrive in the coming hour as scientists hope the flyby will gather clues about the creation of the solar system. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic fly by almost six and a half billion kilometers from a. but we've never been anything not only so far from the sun but it's so well preserved in this ultimate freeze of the corporate your absolute zero so this is the time capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have a series of science objectives one of the prime months to map the geology of. the

whatever craters it might have on its surface whatever fractures other topography anything that will give us clues as to how it how it surfaces form. the new horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen it past the door of planets and sounded to be larger than thought it kept going another billion and a half kilometers deep into the court the belt to reach ultimate tooley this stage of its mission is the most difficult we're farther from the earth and so the communications times are much longer we're farther from the sun and so the lighting levels are lower all these things add up to a much tougher much. more challenging choirboy. new horizons will continue on into the further reaches of space and could yield even more discoveries for years to come. and joining me now from reston virginia in the usa is kate cowan

a former rocket scientist and editor off the blog nasa watch hi kate thanks for joining us today so we're expecting images off the five by it will take some hours to reach but what can we expect to say well right now we're only seeing images from quite quite a distance of this one or two pixels the sheep seems to be oblong and that's all we know and that's what we're really waiting for because this flybys like a bullet chasing the bullet one of the bullets has a camera so it's all going happen very fast and then the images will be sent home with the check six hours to get back here so that's why we have to wait. all right so nasa is calling this mission his story just how significant is this well we've been on with the solar system but we were visiting worlds that have been you know made out of stuff that the sun is heated again and again for billions of years but it was made out of something that normally we don't see where we live but

going this forum sort of the solar system we're visiting material that's probably unchanged since the order to the solar system were five billion years ago so it's like literally getting in a time machine going back to see what it looked like when everything started all right so we know that this is the end is this the end of the new horizons mission or can we expect to see more data. oh this space proposal out of gas left in the tank it's likely a little busy yet another small body like this and now after it's done that it could be transmitting data per dollar decade or two so this is the spacecraft is going to keep on given all right that's the case cowing in virginia for us we appreciate you staying up for escape thank you my pleasure. north korean leader kim jong un has his face annual new year's a trace to warn that his country may change direction on its promise of denuclearization if the u.s. continues its sanctions and he's televised speech kim said he remained committed to

working towards an austin based on where korea the korean peninsula and age to strong a cooperation between north and south korea he called on the south to stop its military exercises with the u.s. . kim also warned the u.s. not to test north korea's patients not operable and didn't build as he knew that i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome junko we mean however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience fortunes something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world that we have no option but to explore a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean peninsula and i'm joined now by a voices correspondent josh smith he is than seoul for us hi josh how serious should kim straight be taken. well i think his speech today

underscores the fact that both washington and junction are unlikely to support a continuation of the status quo this will increase pressure on both sides to try to make some kind of progress on those sanctions as well as denuclearization of north korea the united states or says that there's not been enough progress by it was really towards actually giving up its nuclear weapons while as you highlighted in his speech today is showing some impatience with what he sees as america's insistence on continuing the sanctions. and josh kim jong un and donald trump made for that historic summit last year in what's been achieved since then. well between the united states and north korea not a lot there being some negotiations but many of the talks that the two sides plan have fallen through both can instruct say that they are committed to trying to be

a good next year and there will be increased pressure for them to show some kind of specific agreement coming out of that there have been more progress between north and south korea and this is something that can also mentioned in the speech pointing to this is an example of progress that can be made you know weigh this both beneficial for north and south korea. josh smith royce's correspondent in seoul thank you very much. thank you decades ago the seven italian city of the terrorist struggled with extreme poverty and under development the city's mayor has courted a period of shame now things have changed for me tara b. italian city has become a european capital of culture for twenty nineteen and is hoping to attract thousands of visitors. much of my terror is built in and around caves where people lived without electricity or running water until the mid twentieth century mattera

was long considered an eyesore but now the unique way it fits into its environment has made it famous. perhaps chosen as a captain of culture because it's such an example of native practice this city wasn't built in one architectural style but it developed from day to day in real life war. part of the capital of culture celebrations is a dance performance called the atlas of emotions it explores aspects of how the residents of my terra live. choreographer says it shows how unity locally might serve as an example for europe. especially now that things are somehow falling apart i have the sense that it's a unifying project. we connect to the shoemaker to the bacon and so on everyone has these emotions when he. officially begins its year as one of europe's two capitals of culture on january nineteenth with

a multimedia extravaganza including artworks dance and theatre. with twenty eighteen now and then you give beginning we sent one of our reporters alex to ask people in the german capital about their hopes for twenty nine thousand the anstice were pretty makes not everybody is feeling optimistic in these troubled times. i was twenty nineteen be a great year because i think it can get any worse they can only get better at least i hope so. we're talking about two thousand and nineteen and what will be good about it's looking at this something you know thing. for me. because i love this woman. because i'm pregnant. yes i expect one baby i hope is going to be good one.

for me because we will continue to see our child growing up and we have to move from munich to berlin and i'm actually going to go to the courses and learn german . politics the most positive thing that can happen is that he goes by being voted out or some other way or he commits a folk pos so bad that even the americans can't stand him anymore. he could do would be to really think about what he says of the tweet and maybe he should revise some of the things and say he's sorry. he's losing power now she just gave up her cd you leading position so what is good about that losing power. for her. now more time to to stay at home and to have her live as we are so to sum it all up why is twenty one thousand

going to be a good year. so two thousand and nineteen revision we're wishing for it to be a good year but only santa claus can make wishes come true us might have it's. all right you're watching t.v. news smoke i mean at the top of the hour monica jones is up next with this is. going to.

take it personally i went with all the wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans far as long as. saddam is gone more than football on line. we make up oh but we watch as a hoax that kind of bunch of folks we all watch the seven seven percent. game want to shape the continent's future. to be part of enjoying african youngsters testing share their stories their dreams and their challenges to the seventy seven percent of. platforms africa charge.

happy new year and happy birthday to euro today twenty years ago the european single currency was born bringing both success and challenges to the block. also on the show romania has used the rotating presidency but a planned overhaul of its judiciary threatens to spoil the party. welcome to the business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us now than twenty eighteen is history but brecht's it isn't i'm afraid it will carry on well into twenty nineteen here are the key dates to look out for a void this year starting with the first one coming up in the media january when m.p.'s will vote on prime minister to resolve may's controversial brics a deal that will determine what kind of brics it could happen come march twenty

ninth the day britain committed to leave the e.u. if holiday and rejects may's deal we'd be in for a hard or a no deal breaks it a nightmare for both business on both sides of the channel and on the other hand in an interview with the b.b.c. the us ambassador to the u.k. said that a quote quick and massive trade deal with the us would only be possible in the event of a no deal breaks it if parliament however accepts mase deal they would be a transition period allow britain today and the e.u. to sort out new trade relations and that period would end on december the twenty or thirty first rather in the year twenty twenty so plenty of time for more hiccups and to drama along the way another option of course would be to cancel breaks it all together and save us all the hassle but in the meantime let's cross over to our correspondent in singapore andrea hang andrea makes it of course is this not just a european issue i'd be very interested to hear the view from asia.

well monica happy new year first of all the view in asia on breaks it is very exciting one day i excited at the prospects of what brags it may bring although some investors are not sure if britain's auld world view of asia is still a sustainable one one thing's for sure with that you kings plan of engaging in asia is a wide spectrum in terms of the economy we're going to see a very big changes in treat flows throughout the region and also with foreign direct investments being a very big appeal for both the u.k. as well as asia and of course. and of course britain hopes to to forge new trade deals any specific country in asia already standing in line

they are already you can bet china and japan are touted to be the biggest win is for briggs it's deals and this is of course following behind hong kong which was once colonized and run by and managed by the u.k. so they already have a very long standing strong investment process procedures from the u.k. tourism is very strong in financial deals as well so in all these fields of between hong kong and the u.k. are just going to increase china and japan are falling closely behind but it will take years before we see any action of these if lamentations our plans or the real result and outcomes of these deals indeed andrea hang in there from singapore thank you so much. now today marks the first day of the euro it was launched exactly

twenty years ago on the first of january in one thousand nine hundred ninety one as a currency for eleven e.u. countries and at the time it only served us book money it took another three years until the year old so became physical money with notes and coins after a rocky start the euro eventually turned into the world's second most traded currency and a guarantor for stability in europe the euro was launched on january first one thousand nine hundred nine with a huge party the european central bank that the exchange rates with the national currencies but europeans could only pay with the euro using checks credit or debit cards coins and notes were released into circulation three years later. initially financial markets were skeptical. the euro fell to a record low of a c. five cents to the dollar on october twenty sixth two thousand. things

improved two years later when the currency was launched as cash in paper and coins that court confidence in the euro climbed reaching a record high of nearly one dollar sixty but the two thousand and eight financial crisis shook the global banking system. the euro also took a hit within a couple of months it lost a fifth of its value. times remain turbulent for the common currency the twenty ten greek debt exacerbated the situation and in danger of the euro the european central bank jumped into supporters. and the currency lost significant value in twenty fifteen amid another debt crisis in greece and the conflict in ukraine but it started rising steadily afterwards. the euro is now the world's second most important currency more than three hundred forty million people use it

in europe but times have still remained stormy for the common currency. well today is not just new year's day today remaining also takes over the use retaking present day for the very first time this comes at a crucial time for europe with breaks it and the european parliament elections falling into that six month presidency period in a tweet today you council president tusk wish to remain all the best with its first year presidency saying that he is confident the country will deliver. well many in brussels however have mixed feelings for some time now the romanian government has been at odds with the e.u. regarding the rule of law separation of palace and corruption. these protesters say they've had it with corruption and nepotism so they gather at noon every day in front of the governing parties buildings in the city of c.p.u.

in the region of transylvania. they're calling for politicians to respect the rule of law. that's a good concept exists that what's clear is there is corruption at all levels of society that's why we're standing here on the streets to send a message that we cannot look away any more all the politicians should know that we're watching them very closely. adrienne champion is the mayor of charity it is seuss a town in the car pay theon mountains he is frequently confronted with corruption allegations connected to his plans to revive an old gold mine close to the nearby city of dave with the help of a canadian mining company. he says his plans are all about bringing employment to the region but. this project could create hundreds of jobs and thereby help significantly reduce

unemployment in our town the whole region including neighboring villages could benefit from the mine but the project requires getting rid of four hundred hectares of forest so far opponents of blocked the mine through the courts. in the town hall the mountain of files on the mine is growing. corruption is something the mayor doesn't want to talk about. he presents a document from the government's anti corruption agency it says he has not profited personally from the five hundred million euro project. that yes and n.g.o.s cuse me of illegal dealings but the anti corruption agency investigated everything and now i've been officially exonerated. down in the miners' settlement

former employees are hoping for new jobs there are uncertainties once again up on the mountain new allegations of corruption against the mayor the n.g.o.'s mining watch accuses him of illegally signing over the forest to the mining company. it says the mayor was in cahoots with the firm then after just one month i think the whole confession to the mining company. and corruption directed right and then there. for now corruption is bringing anger to remain it's hindering investment and keeping investors and jobs away. to kenya now where the economy grew faster in the third quarter of twenty eighteen than during the same period last year the

country locked a six percent growth the economy was voided by the agriculture and construction sector has increased food production means the country is importing less farming accounts for about thirty five percent came the g.d.p. protein cultural products and t. key exports the government now expects the economy to grow six point two percent in twenty nineteen that is higher than forecasts earlier this year. and we have just enough time to look at some new year's traditions japanese have been flocking to retailers to stock up on what has got to be one of the world's most elegant new year's gastronomical rituals it's all about sumptuous boxes packed with traditional foods often delicacies such as caviar and truffles the lack of boxes sometimes with two or three layers a call to keep the most luxury of ones at the moxley a department store in tokyo can sell for nearly fifteen hundred dollars.

so that's a business update here in the u. thanks for keeping us company.

it's amazing nineteen games in cause. i'm a kick all series almost football event. we check it out the favorites and the fallen. and so it's inside inflatable but. it's one thousand nine hundred eighty s. and kept on. cut. my song choices. to. sixteen.

how do you. sustain. discover the bauhaus you talk about starts january thirteenth on t.w. . where is home. when your family is scattered across the globe. it's a little closer to listen to me because my journey back to the roots should get a minimum of the lead the charge finally from somalia move around a little. want to come to urgent assistance. starts january twenty ninth.

in just a few weeks' time the seventeenth asian cup kicks off in the united arab emirates. than your barcelona went to dubai to check out the team representing the host nation how big is football in the country anyway and what kind of role does it play that. is just the nothing the church has passed or is the real passion for the sport among the teams who qualify it is syria how are the players able to focus on the gang with the civil war still raging.

we try to bring back normal life with football so says ben stein now a reporter a recruit veld took to the syria coach and his team. big money and political football now on kickoffs. so. cool white and one of the world's richest nations i will meet the syrian national football team perhaps the most controversial team in the world and i will meet their new coach a german like me. i will meet a sports team but all i can think of as politics it may look like an easy job for every quarter but it's not going to be watching a football match but in the back of my mind will be one of the worst humanitary. in crisis for the time the ongoing so young tragedy and its millions of refugees and girls guys play football the syrian national football team is

a team for twenty three million syrians or a propaganda tool for the country's president bashar assad a man accused of committing war crimes is this his team the dictator's team as some have suggested. millions of syrians are refugees because of the civil war and still there is something called the syrian national football team how do they represent how does it take to see no one speaks about politics because everyone is so focused on that job here. but. can we really separate politics from full cost. support. along the way for. all presidents in the world even. is joining the changing room is success. it's everywhere around the world

it looks like the same procedure when political leaders like angle america me german football champions. chats with the syrian squad but the difference is that former players of the syrian national football team are reportedly missing such as defender. for example. syrian regime. program. at play and prison for being on the right or wrong side in quite the syrians prepare for the asian cup they have a new coach. a german like me his new job seems like a very risky adventure because he lives and works in a war torn country run by a dictator i started. involved in politics i get lost i cannot do my job that i have learned from my first appointment in iraq be absolutely focused for

your job. already has experience working for authoritarian missions he was the national team coach under the east german regime. he coached iraq during the time of saddam hussein and he coached a levels and now syria. i'm focused to do my job as a football coach this is my mission and this is my job what other people put in our sport in football if i read all this nonsense that superstars should not shake hands this should not be a world cup in qatar and all this. things to put politics in our sport is not very helpful football is similar to ping pong it's just a bit of fun and my game with us money is free of politics the rookie in the team

plays football in the netherlands a very open society now he plays for a country cut off from the world why. syria. cannot play for the national team of all and then i will play for the national team of syria to show the people and to give them back also because my parents also from syria and i want to give something back to the people of course i don't speak arabic as good as the other ones so. it's really difficult then but the only thing i know is when everyone is together here no one speaks about politics because everyone is so focused on their job here and they want to do so good in this thirteen so i don't see no one speaks about politics. kids like highest osmani and more midfield hard to manage i guess

and more messed up saying no syria you have nothing to convince only the players because. family is very very close together you have to convince families i have had to give a promise that those boys on my sons and i have to take care for them i have been a role model because i live in damascus all the time and i i explained there is no no danger to come to damascus the syrian national team is homeless for more than seven years this team hasn't played a match at home national teams from other countries are not allowed to visit syria because of the ongoing civil war which created the biggest refugee crisis all the time. this team is surprisingly good to have no money no proper training facilities and still they are very successful they're almost qualified for the world cup in russia.

the political situation makes life very difficult for everyone in syria not just the football players. support the team it's a heavy burden. many people say this team is very political because it's very much linked to one person hundred because nobody should see. it up to sort of but it is. with a very. concerted in the u.n. security. but in public that the public. does feel in the top team syria a team assad what is it. now

there's some sort of. syria. when you're a fan of. the big fair we've got a very very big turn up we've got a very very very very big big big. they want to see. a lot of the other side of the . card syria and bush are only it's an infamous phrase in support of president bashar al assad these guys are fans of the dictator and they use football as a stage for blunt propaganda. now kuwait versus syria the last warm up game before the asian cup time for the pre-match press conference

within the gulf region coup wife is regarded as liberal it's a monarchy where only one family rules but journalists who criticize the king can go to prison for up to five years. for me it feels like a different planet but for my fellow countrymen she's totally relaxed down the delivers phrases we hear from football coaches all over the world we have no reason to under any burden will be here we'd like to speak to tom ridge. as a fellow journalist an experienced sports reporter focal white's public sports channel . was there a discussion within quiet at that the syrian team can. quite yeah victims. of one government order was. the good with. years

is like a lot of. other countries they wouldn't invite the syrian national team because of the politics of the of the obvious no no no sidewards. is a long way from but. so a lot of politics is always be. the how not. the left side the right side the middle. always in the middle just the switzerland of the region but relations where one's strain between the countries so there is a political dimension to this football match but no one really wants to talk. to white it's one of the very few countries in the world to invite syria for a friendly match before quite syria played in countries like. kid of his time

in china. you have china you have russia you know it's it's not this football family it's a special family and they can be proud to what they have achieved fief should have a long long time to serve to be nominated for the nobel. you know the weight of the. ticket and you. know the peace prize for fisa. this man has a different opinion on us on the issue in journalist who fled to turkey. and we watched some of the body look at syria series we've got bashar we support bashar assad. bashing. that's not him so no no no we cannot. i don't think so. it's really it is not this working it is like

one hundred. people so. i thought what this british and. most serious national team don't live in syria. they for example place in the lebanese premier league. we have many many people as union guys for outside syria we have you know germany in the oil and. when something doesn't go up in the amount out there are you looking all game how many people's funds he coming aboard the national team the national team he played for twenty three million. because. he is famous for keeping the ball like a volleyball player goalkeeper by him and he's one of just six national team players who play in the syrian premier league in spite of all they're still

a professional football league. and they love me and i mean how. i would have been would be. under bob. most you cannot look. at this and nor would. i want to make sure what sort of. a wash before. i let a store have i lost so we were at the end he had been he and he had. been was my brain was working up to look at him standing now but that fear to get out of the car i feared given. how you.

at the stadium syrian flags i had it out for free. and some fans had brought a sad picture this football match at times mimics a propaganda shot. that i i. and these other fans of school what. most of the syrians and cool white a farm workers a community of around one hundred fifty thousand people but barely any refugees kuwait has kept its borders largely closed to those seeking refuge from war. but when it comes to football the dogs seem to be more open. syria wins by the way i can be so easy when you support the right team but real life is more complicated.

we try to bring back normal life with football we all focus on football we tried to do the best boys are extremely hard work us they all fight us for that country. fighters for their country the bigger the success the bigger the stage for potential propaganda. this team makes football fans like me think about the war in syria. and kuwait i have met very nice and tumble people here is one of the scores of yesterday. but this team sucks us many losses syria. football players like she have reportedly missing. football us and thousands of other civilians have been detained in

military prisons in syria. so. gullible i. the tournament is being hosted by the u.a.e. what's the state of play when it comes to football in the country can you barcelona gives us the lowdown. united arab emirates the futuristic oasis in the middle of the desert. with fast cars and dancing skyscrapers. where money is plentiful and living lavish is the standard way of life. a small nation big ambition. we never say that we have to reach just like somewhere in the middle i want to be

always number one the same goes for sport not just any sport football but even hosting the two thousand nine hundred eighteen cup there are still some things that money can't buy. you some of. the guys it's mean danielle and this time i have a little something different for you we're here in the united arab emirates in dubai now when we think of football and the emirates usually the first thing that comes to mind is the only limited bank behind european football and giant mensa the only one but on the verge of the big east asian cup. history what we want to know is is it just another path or is the real question for the

sports in the land the riches but you'll find out. as a part of the continent with the false fastest growing community the u.a.e. has struggled to bridge the gap between football as a sport and football as a culture however even though they haven't been around long they have already seen their fair share of growth since playing their first competitive match in one hundred seventy two. games. to be just like. most of the people out here like practicing especially maybe in schools and you can find it in the neighborhoods and dad are really into football has a passion for the sport let me tell you first of all maybe we have to think about the population on the different nationalities of the people living in the country maybe that much of the majority is of the ex-pats and ex-pats have some different sports enjoy in one thousand nine hundred before even having

a chrome league they qualified for their first and only world cup in italy they lost all of their games but managed to score goals against the eventual champions west germany was the was the i mean beach that world cup in one thousand nine hundred that was even before being fission of but not everybody stopped having like i wish to have much more than that in two thousand and seven we decided to go professional. football league and we started the season two thousand and eight two thousand and nine maybe like two years ago we were at number one asia as a leak professional league and that was it really like that we are proud about the murder of her since the last. and they hosted the asian cup in one thousand nine hundred six the expression close but no cigar can characterize the u.a.e. as performances in the a.f.c.

they finished runner up in ninety six and surged in two thousand and fifteen but have never taken the number one prize currently the team has improved to number seventy nine in the fee for world rankings but for them there is still more work to be done i think overall. i might say. how about we also have some achievements that will show that we are doing that i think last year with big expectations of winning the asian cup at home the u.a.e. went shopping in italy and came back without any city asked to win it with italian giants ac milan and asian cup winner with japan in two thousand and eleven ok i'm a little bit nervous because this is the coach of the ninety eight ninety nine yuan team that literally made me dream as a child but. i got to be professional but go. out

all. in order. and that's when they were born or. in your room. i always look at you and put a quotable joining to. a majority in. the movie one of. the bad will be your first quarter. and. i don't on the squad. bit. kwok check was caused. or poor down.

yeah the study. and some of the russians assuming three of me that teeny. you know. that he made out the. morning that the rivers are the most arguments at the smudging at the. top of the original report they would all. of us are caused by the put all those. critical critical. at all some of our chemical. mischler throughout the plant them enough but the porter. and shawn. levy culture is the driving factor for passion here around the globe culture has a big influence on how people live the football experience in the u.a.e.

a country whose population is made up ninety percent of ex-pats so many different cultures can be found in the same place. located just across town is the u.a.e. a recent get some more information about their plans for future success. so we're here at the u.a.e. football association so we're everything football is planned and organized and what we've noticed is that they're actually very dedicated to the growth and development of football in this country from walking around we've seen the attention to detail dedicated to all aspects of football from beach football to use football and even the women's game so not just the most profitable aspects so how do you actually measure passion for the sport. there's no number there's no value that you can give it from my experience oftentimes the individuals with the most passion are the ones

who make little to no money at all from the sport. that we know who really are alcohol really is a former you eat football player who is now a thief an expert a board member on the women's football committee and the technical director and head coach of the women's national team which until recently didn't exist. what is the support like for the women's program here they have a good support from the government especially for women who talk about football is it good support because i think we have three national teams for the age group which is if you came before three years with the english that is many girls who love football. colleagues in the school or.

level of football but they couldn't play because of. cultural barriers. they did not accept football as fumigate game or the women's game but now everything changed after visiting that i think i'm left with the impression that real support is actually there and not only in terms of money out the and money alone can't buy passion but it can help you to have success which in turn can spark the interest of the nation so maybe this is the biggest asian cup in history right here in the u.a.e. is just what this country needs to get the ball going. here.

. this is the deadly news live from the world's rings in new guinea. i displays the crowds from the pacific to the atlantic we'll take a look at the highlights from around the globe also on the program a new year's warning from north korea's supreme leader kim jong. il change course denuclearization if u.s. sanctions against his country continue. i don't you take sort of the rotating presidency of the european union today faces a raft of critical crises is romania up to the job. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. as the last parts of the world's ring in

twenty nineteen the new years officially begun from east to west to rev lists of been celebrating with music dancing and thousand fireworks displays so let's take a look at some of the highlights for millions of people around the globe the last moments of twenty eight thousand were spent holding their breath then as the clock struck midnight the show began. from kuala lumpur to sydney. to hong kong. hours later twenty one thousand came to pakistan. then to dubai. home of the world's tallest skyscraper the board khalifa. and on to the lebanese capital beirut.

one of the largest mean years eve celebrations in europe is in berlin at the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show. but. it was a similar scene in the city of lights paris i. ran across the atlantic to cut back up on a beach in rio de janeiro. in new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight not even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm of this year's event had a serious nose celebrating generalism and press freedom. i. i i. i.

north korea's leader has used his annual new year's address to warn that his country may change direction on its promise of denuclearization if the united states continues its sanctions in his televised speech cajon said he remains committed to working towards lasting peace on the korean peninsula stronger cooperation between north and south korea and called on the south to halt its joint military exercises with the u.s. german came also warned the u.s. not to test his country's patients not operable and didn't vote as he was getting well i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome that. we need however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world we have no option but to explore

a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in chief peace on the korean peninsula. let's get more on this from reuters correspondent josh smith who joins us from the south korean capital seoul out welcome so day w. just what is this new path likely to look like. well of course many who heard that fear that it could mean the worst possibly a return to some of the missile tests and launches that we saw on twenty seven pm in the stress of war from both pyongyang and washington but many others given the emphasis to kim jong un has placed on economic development more growth for his country see it as likely that. north korean leader kim jong un is basically setting the stage to blame washington for any failure of the ration the new killer to say should cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or

china or even south korea and potentially bring them onboard as the major partners should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june well while we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says that he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit yes so each side does appear to be convinced and the other has done little to

fulfill previous promises so what do they need to say you know what is to be convinced. well the very basic level they have a degree but what they came out from singapore summit was basically a series of very broad goals and that is left a lot to be argued over since then and so i think many analysts will be looking for against the civics out of any future meeting an actual agreement some kind of event limited road map that both sides could potentially agree on and compare you know progress but to what it has been joining us now josh saul thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least eight people have been injured after a man drove a small van into a crowd of people celebrating new year's eve in tokyo police say the assaults the suspect better sulphide a ninth person on the street a twenty one year old has been arrested. a nasa spacecraft is believed to have

reached the outermost region of the solar system flying close to the foggiest and possibly all this cosmic body ever explored seen on this on a mission in the distant world is almost six and a half billion kilometers from earth confirmation of the probes arrivals expected later today. u.s. senator elizabeth warren has taken a back step back he step toward challenging presenter trunk the twenty twenty democrats hold an exploratory committee which will allow her to raise the money for her campaign agenda includes giving workers more rights and increasing a consumer protections getting. that january first cease romania take over the rotating presidency of the european union but the but the mood with brussels is already tense after a u.s. officials voiced concerns over romania's fitness for the role of particular concern proposed judicial reform that include watering down anti corruption laws those changes have brought many romanians onto the street here is the wall where our laws

are expects his photo will soon hang the remaining government wants to get rid of the attorney general who doesn't shy away from criticizing the government and its begun taking steps to dismiss him from office the official reason abuse of power. suggesting that remain is problems have nothing to do with crime and corruption but instead judges and prosecutors are to blame. for this makes it clear to me what the real goal of the reform is. the government's judicial reforms have unleashed an intense political battle the changes go against the will of many judges prosecutors and ordinary romanians who have been demonstrating for months. the protesters fear the amendments could reverse years of progress achieved in the fight against government corruption. but we've seen many politicians

growing too weary of defending corruption. to the so as parliamentarians they've begun to abuse the rule of law is that they change the penal code and attack the institution of the attorney general. before. critics say the justice reforms are for the benefit of people like leave you with rodney or one of the most powerful men in the country he nominated one of his allies for the position of prime minister he himself though could be headed for jail that agony and has already been convicted of electoral fraud as well as abuse of office but if the new judicial reforms go through he may well have fewer problems remain as justice minister thinks politicians are being unfairly targeted. you can't just sit by and see hundreds of remain ians convicted and then later acquitted because they have one tiny crimes committed to fall out of the problem.

from january first romania takes over the rotating presidency of the e.u. many romanians hope that the e.u. will then exert more pressure on the government to uphold the rule of law. because that about romania is the ability to take only a few presidencies being voiced in. side and outside the country european commission president john paul young said he thinks romania isn't ready and he is the country's president klaus. you know one is speaking in december on one you know but i law romania will take over the european council presidency very demanding responsibility for the government. but i may ask my opinion is that we are not prepared for it lets them pick at the expense of a rather mad dance a former advisor to the iranian prime minister and joins us from the capital bucharest welcome to day doubly so people seem to be lining up to say that your

country's unfits to take over this role what do you think hello and happy new year i mean i'm more optimistic more to missed those realistic based on two issues first of all the country's history were immensely tactical where a lot of countries which means we do believe in a very let's see action x. and second of all the so-called deep state which has been accused of many things in romania in the broad strokes so i trust our diplomats i trust our civil servants this in time is a lot of or calling a you are very much aware it's not the presence of the council he's issuing not just a month thinks that the union has to deliver. some ministers are well aware right now and it's an issue of country tried and i think that this very question for the next months people will eventually deliver ok so why does your president think you're not ready. i think both the president another senior or at the sions

don't really realize that some of their declarations for internal consumptions get me if you translate it abroad and they enjoy it quite a large dissemination in the meantime thank god the president changed his mind so in a press conference with chancellor courts in the twenty first of december it's not ready i think that initially we hike on our easy shooting what it takes and there is cooperation so the present is one camp the parliamentary majorities from another camp there is always a temptation to point out to the fact that i am my camp maybe more more competent and then the other is not i think that unfortunately so many changes in government to eight years have some degree of truth in the present declaration but i think that it's good that there is a kind of rebalancing and everybody agrees that we're ready from a technical point of view that was to say at the limit but to take charge of your

health and so romania seems to have a problem with corruption within government and within the political process and also a problem with actually dealing with that corruption so people from outside the country sort of look at what's going on inside and think well is this is this a fait country to lead a block like be in a year. i would say that corruption is less of the nish right now it's more about the noise it's the noise as regards and the mechanism but on an option that is the main can do so from this perspective i would say that before two thousand and before you exception more generally they haven't really been high level condemnations i look at quality shoots queues the crush is has changed in the last five six years it has been less in the past two years the main fight right now in only six in between a parliamentary majority who says to me have been accused russian pipes and a lot of people he was assigned to meet and not only them

a lot of ok this and this or this will compromise any corruption fight as a whole all right when i said we went out again i would running out of time sir but i think that when we get your test thank you so much for joining us rather madden and bucharest. let's get you up to date i leave you with another look at last night's celebrations from around the world back at the top of the hour and you're. tired the last stuff we look for. when that do not like it reacts. to sleep or money to.

earth home to millions of species a home worth saving. on those are big changes and most start with small steps global ideas tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world like to use the term the climate boost to green energy solutions and reforestation. they create interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental protection and we're determined to build something here for the next generation low blood dios the multimedia environment series on d.w. . give me

a. little. happy new year and happy birthday. today twenty years ago the european single currency was born bringing both. yes and challenges to the block. also the show romania has used the rotating presidency but a plan to overhaul of its judiciary threatens to spoil the party. welcome to business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us now than twenty eighteen is history but brics it isn't i'm afraid it will carry on well into twenty nineteen here are the key dates to look out for avoid this year starting with the first one coming up in the media january when m.p.'s will vote on prime minister to resolve may's controversial brics a deal that will determine what kind of brics it could happen come march twenty ninth the day britain committed to leave the e.u.

if holiday and rejects may's deal we'd be in for a hard or a no deal breaks it a nightmare for both business on both sides of the channel and on the other hand in an interview with the b.b.c. the u.s. ambassador to the u.k. said that a quote quick and massive trade deal with the u.s. would only be possible in the event of a no deal breaks it if parliament however accepts may's deal they would be a transition period allow britain to the end the e.u. to sort out new trade relations and that period would end on december the twenty or thirty first rather in the year twenty twenty so plenty of time for more hiccups and to drama along the way another option of course would be to cancel breaks it all together and save us all the hassle but in the meantime let's cross over to our correspondent in singapore andrea hang andrea rex that of course is not just a european issue i'd be very interested to hear the view from asia.

well monica happy new year first of all the view in asia on breaks it is very exciting one day i excited at the prospects of what bragg's it may bring although some investors i'm not sure if britain's all the world view of asia is still a sustainable one one thing's for sure with that you can use plan of engaging in asia as a wide spectrum in terms of the economy we're going to see a very big changes in treat flows throughout the region and also with foreign direct investments being a very big appeal for both the u.k. as well as asia and of course. and of course a briton hopes to to forge new trade deals any specific country in asia already standing in line they are already you can bet

china and japan are touted to be the biggest win is for briggs its deals and this is of course following behind hong kong which was once colonized and run by and managed by the u.k. so they already have a very long standing strong investment process procedures from the u.k. tourism is very strong in financial deals as well so in all these fields of between hong kong and the u.k. are just going to increase china and japan are falling closely behind but it will take years before we see any action of these if lamentations our plans or the real results and outcomes of these deals indeed andrea hang there from singapore thank you so much. now today marks the first day of the euro it was launched exactly

twenty years ago on the first of january in one thousand nine hundred ninety one as a currency for eleven e.u. countries and at the time it only served as book money it took another three years until the year also became physical money with notes and coins after a rocky start the euro eventually turned into the world's second most traded currency and a guarantor for stability in europe the euro was launched on january first one thousand nine hundred nine with a huge party the european central bank set the exchange rates with the national currencies but europeans could only pay with the euro using checks credit or debit cards coins and notes were released into circulation three years later. initially financial markets were skeptical. the euro fell to a record low of a c. five cents to the dollar on october twenty sixth two thousand. things

improved two years later when the currency was launched as cash in paper and coins that brought confidence the euro climbed reaching a record high of nearly one dollar sixty but the two thousand and eight financial crisis shook the global banking system. the euro also took a hit within a couple of months it lost a fifth of its value. times remain turbulent for the common currency the twenty ten greek debt exacerbated the situation and in danger of the euro the european central bank jumped into supporters. and the currency lost significant value in twenty fifteen amid another debt crisis in greece and the conflict in ukraine but it started rising steadily afterwards. the euro is now the world's second most important currency more than three hundred forty million people use it

in europe but times have still remained stormy for the common currency. well today is not just new year's day today rumania also takes over the use retaining president for the very first time this comes at a crucial time for europe with breaks it and the european parliament elections falling into that six month presidency period in a tweet today you council president tusk wish to remain all the best with its first year presidency saying that he is confident the country will deliver. well many in brussels however have mixed feelings for some time now the romanian government has been at odds with the e.u. regarding the rule of law separation of palace and corruption. these protesters say they've had it with corruption and nepotism so they gather at noon every day in front of the governing parties buildings in the city of sydney

you in the region of transylvania. they're calling for politicians to respect the rule of law. that's a good concept the exist and what's clear is there is corruption at all levels of society that's why we're standing here on the streets to send a message we cannot look away any more all the politicians should know that we're watching them very closely. adrienne champion is the mayor of charity it is seuss a town in the car pay theon mountains he is frequently confronted with corruption allegations connected to his plans to revive an old gold mine close to the nearby city of dave with the help of a canadian mining company. he says his plans are all about bringing employment to the region but many thought. this project could create hundreds of jobs and thereby help significantly reduce

unemployment in our town the whole region including neighboring villages could benefit from the mine but the project requires getting rid of four hundred hectares of forest so far opponents of blocked the mine through the courts. in the town hall the mountain of files on the mine is growing. corruption is something the mayor doesn't want to talk about. he presents a document from the government's anti corruption agency it says he has not profited personally from the five hundred million euro project. that yes and n.g.o.s cuse me of illegal dealings but the anti corruption agency investigated everything and now i've been officially exonerated one down in the minors

settlement former employees are hoping for new jobs there are uncertainties once again up on the mountain new allegations of corruption against the mayor the n.g.o.'s mining watch accuses him of illegally signing over the forest to the mining company. it says the mayor was in cahoots with the firm then after just one month the think the whole question the mining company they think being at the moment. and corruption directed right and then there. for now corruption is bringing anger to remain it's hindering investment and keeping investors and jobs away. to kenya now where the economy grew faster in the third quarter of twenty eighteen then during the same period last year the country looked at

a six percent growth the economy was voided by the agriculture and construction sector has increased food production means the country is importing less promising accounts for about thirty five percent of g.d.p. . cultural products and t. key exports the government now expects the economy to grow six point two percent in twenty nineteen that is higher than forecasts earlier this year. and we have just enough time to look at some new year's traditions japanese have been flocking to retailers to stock up on what has got to be one of the world's most elegant new year's gastronomical rituals it's all about sumptuous boxes packed with traditional foods often delicacies such as caviar and truffles the lack of boxes sometimes with two or three layers a call to keep the most in the curiae ones at the moxley a department store in tokyo can sell for nearly fifteen hundred dollars and.

hello and welcome to tomorrow today the science show on d w. coming up on this edition. cats q plucky and lovable and they have us totally in their thrall. how do they pull it off. the brave new world of brain doping could the electron stimulation be used to give our mental faculties a boost. but first is a man's brain different from a woman's brain the experts weigh in. on. the turn to sixteen olympic games because to so many of south africa to gold in the women's eight hundred meter event but some said so many are shouldn't be allowed to compete her natural testosterone levels are unusually holy so is she actually a man. you know because hormones are the only thing that determines

a person's sex. the external and internal sex organs also play a role as do the chromosomes normally x. x. in women and x. y. in men. and sometimes it's a mix of all of these. so determining sex is far from simple if only we could look inside the brain. does the brain have a gender can we tell just by looking at a neuro anatomist. this is the brain of someone who donated his or her body to medical science some of the men in jail tissue has been removed from what i'm able to see i couldn't tell you whether it's a man's brain or a woman's brain first. size isn't a reliable indicator because that also tends to depend on your body size rather than your gender but what about inside the brain or are there differences in how

it's wired what's he decent in this area of the spleen e m is a lot more prominent and figure in the female brain to go with men in this area is thinner not as barbers do not just or and if so would stick here. but i can also show you the brain of a woman where this distinction is not as clear. here too you can see smooth the transition isn't so this structure doesn't allow us to reliably identify a man's brain or a woman's brain when i get on the floor again and. hundreds of studies have examined the anatomy of the brain in order to determine the differences between the sexes and international research team has compared office data one conclusion it came to that there are more similarities than differences. but it's not just about the visible distinctions are there differences between the brains of men and women in terms of function. women are generally said to be more

linguistically talented than men and men are considered to have better spatial awareness. the latter can be determined using their mental rotation test which of the images correspond to the first one. men tend to perform better in their stats the surprising thing is that women's performance is very according to their monthly cycle so one is that. m.r.i. scans show how hormones change our brain so. i don't want to. exercise the continual influence that time before birth they have a strong impact on how our brain develops. but they also affect us our whole life long and that's particularly apparent with women during the course of their menstrual cycle. estrogen increases over the course of the menstrual cycle and

progesterone also starts to kick in a bit later. studies of the effect of estrogen have revealed that when the levels are low in women's behavior tends to resemble men's behavior more closely as it was found on men and that means when a woman is having her period her brain is more under the influence of testosterone than on the other days of her cycle so it isn't as straightforward as one might think. in recent years research has focused increasingly on transgender people their gender identity or gender expression differs from the gender that they were assigned at birth. or their biological markers in the brain that indicate trans identity in a bid to find that out scientists measured how the brain reacts to voices. is this here we see activity in the auditory cortex this is the area responsible

for hearing and also how we process voices you can see that this trans woman's brain lies between the different activation patterns displayed by men and women. and shows they can't simply be assigned to one sex or the other. although the research is still in its infancy and michelle cleaver shows differences between men and women but also non-binary areas. with a brain and we expected to discover that there were no fixed categories you know instead it's a continuum our brain develops into what can be classed as more male or more female on the basis of biological hormonal and chromosomal influence and. it's not static but develops an interaction with our environment and our experience with. the brain can't be clearly identified as have. in one single sex it's a mix of male female and the many shades in between.

one shot shock of electricity and frankenstein's monster is jolted into life. in the classic film based on the novel written by mary shelley that's all it takes . but what happens in real life when electricity is applied to regions of the brain. research is that the university hospital of zurich want to give our brains a priest so christian wolf and his team have wired up their test subjects. and the experiment begins now. over the subjects don't actually feel a thing transcranial brain stimulation involves a point electric current to a specific region of the organ in this case one of these known to influence mathematical reasoning. for ten minutes the subject set about solving tricky

subtraction and multiplication exercises with startling results the house before us when we've discovered that when this region is stimulated the test subjects get more subtraction problems right. in other words it makes subtraction easier for them interestingly we found no effect on multiplication so it appears that this region is responsible for subtraction. transcranial brain stimulation in general is said to hold great potential. as a student in some studies test subjects were given working memory exercises they had to remember sequences of numbers and if you do that over the course of a week using stimulation for months. later you discover that the ones who received the stimulation still have a better capacity than those who didn't see the needs to be. found researchers

elsewhere are also turning out exciting results a team in the us are likewise experimenting with electrical brain stimulation the us army is using the research to a drone pilots who have to stare at screens for hours on end looking for proverbial needles in haystacks the slightest lapse in concentration could mean disaster. transcranial brain stimulation consequently can be increased concentration and attention span. so are we looking at our future. too but inevitably there will be debate over the extent to which we should employ something like neuro enhancement to improve the natural functions of the brain events are there's been a time among those who see it with a critical eye because you have to ask yourself just how much you're willing to interfere and such an organized we only do it with other organs when they're not functioning like putting a pacemaker in a diseased heart and you've always got to ask what side effects are going to have

and to what extent boosting one particular brain ability might weaken another. but lots of questions are open so this form of brain doping is still a distant prospect. and now we tend to see animals. as. different species have developed different forms of communication. vocalizations can serve to scare off other animals just to interact. we often think we understand these messages but is that true. i'm jack i'm eleven and you're. shorthand and that's michael he lives here too. i have five brothers and sisters are a bit standoffish. that's my other human.

is the tin. i'm going to teach us some feline language today like how to meow i'm hungry or let me out. he says meow and we've got to it doesn't like it's thing we open a fresh package kitty wants out the house and we open the door. of course they manipulate us cat owners are probably the most easily manipulated creatures on earth. manipulate. maybe you just need a few lines human dictionary to understand us a bit better after all we only know for humans. that's why i'm going to see marina today she's a researcher who could interpret chat. after water couple of samples on video.

because she recognizes a lot in our voices things like volume and pitch this isn't one that's right it was recorded during feeding then we do a lot of math calculation number of things what are the basic frequencies and here we can see the areas in purple that is the area of maximum energy what we call peak frequency. those are the parameters we used to describe the vocalizations. should be easy enough when i sit in front of my. eyes cuts into the sand i can actually pass and i would probably say that's a feed me mindfuck but you have to remember there's a context to the mail when you can't sit in front of its bow myaing then you'll probably go to a cast and see the bowlers. and of course you'll interpret that behavior and no right it wants to be fed the taste but that doesn't necessarily mean it's

a typical fede. that's true you often get it wrong sometimes we just want to tension that's my buddy. fiona lives with him. and alexis. covert. manipulate. just watch how he keeps them in line. you know every time we go out he makes exactly the same noises when he meows the pathetically i can't help it cut back upstairs. high pitched. and when he's hungry and it's just a meal. gotta

hand it to him is a must hard core meows. i was able to extract some relatively clear vocalisations yes if you want to focalize ations and here's where he wants to be left out this is sort of general emotional rule you could say went after the more negative the emotion the greater the education the longer the vocalization. and the pitch usually rises as well. as we do that too when we worked up our boys got tired and sometimes it's really hard to control that. we found the same parameters with can when cats get more worked out of their voice cracks a bit we humans perceive a higher pitch vocalizations as more urgent. then some and. that holds for your human babies too when they get that high pitched cry that you go running when i create my own special way she doesn't always get the message.

well i come home and he runs to greet me i pick a matter of get a little kiss when i put him down he gets annoyed. that could mean not now or could mean pick me up i mean let's get back to this later it depends. she needs an interpreter. but he gets it. you can tell from my. she's enjoying it to. the snowden is not turning has a completely different acoustic structure it's nothing like meowing for example you mainly hear it when you stroking your cats or when your cat rubs against your leg.

but it can be employed in other contexts like begging for food or hide photos every cat is different they all have their own personalities and you madam also a bit like humans in that respect they have different behavioral profiles and different voices. i was about to give gabby a feline dictionary but it seems you need a new one for every single cat. even if every cat is an individual they all have one thing in common people just can't seem to get enough of them either at home or online on facebook we asked you to share your experiences with your pets and not surprisingly got lots of responses. chris neighbor told us about his furry friend ronnie who seems to be in charge. according to luke ever zero zero cats are totally convinced that they're the monsters and humans are little more than slaves. lots of you out there send

him videos and photographs of your pets here are some of the ones that really caught our eye. this seems to have got the knack of it. the first time i heard a little bit on the tight side. maybe other than. my david berry. i can now which fact. time to leave behind out full cattle a cat filled homes to head out into the great beyond this week's viewer question comes from sandy. why is it dark in outer space. there are more than one

hundred billion stars in our milky way and it's just one of the countless galaxies in the universe sensitive instruments like the hubble space telescope have revealed that there are ten times more galaxies out there than we thought just a few decades ago and these gigantic swarms of stars are distributed quite uniformly throughout space so we should see light shining at us from every direction right. just like we see trees in every direction when standing in the midst of a huge forests but the night sky is mostly dark this apparent contradiction was first described by astronomer jaime was around two hundred years ago that's why it's called called by a paradox. today we believe the universe formed fourteen billion years ago in what's called the big bang since then says the theory the universe has been expanding at an ever increasing rate.

here on earth we can see just one small sliver of the universe many stars are so far away that their light hasn't arrived here yet after all it takes two and a half million years for light to make the journey from our nearest galactic neighbor andromeda to the earth. and because the universe is expanding radiation from distant galaxies is also stretched into wavelengths that are no longer visible to the human eye but they are visible to the hubble telescope it can also observe radiation and those parts of the spectrum and even reveal stars hidden behind clouds of cosmic dust that block radiation in the visible spectrum the light. and that's why at least to our eyes the night sky is dark. if our love is red right

but only a few pages. do you have a science question that you've always wanted answered it we're happy to help out and send it to us as a video text over a smell if we answer it on the show we'll send you a little surprise as a thank you can all just ask. you'll find us online and it d.w. dot com slash science and of course on twitter and facebook so get in touch. since the very first automobile hit the road in eight hundred eighty five cars have changed the lives. countless millions of them have rolled off the tree feel the most important things speed and looks environmental friendliness didn't play a big role until now e-cards could help us achieve the dream of a cleaner greener future but the batteries and then rely on lithium in germany plans to mine the meshal are ramping up.

the alps could be a good mountains are situated on the border between germany and the czech republic here near the town of invite is a treasure worth an estimated one hundred fourteen billion euro europe's largest lithium deposit a group of researchers from the fight that university of mining are descending eighty metres beneath the surface to examine the reserves the valuable natural resource is hidden in this glittering rock called lithium mica was involved i. don't look right here in this area is nearly one hundred percent so it's a very lithium rich zone. for nearly five hundred years this was an active mine that yielded mainly ten people knew there was let in here but they had no real use for it the five that researchers have assessed the size of the deposit. in the. foreign positing a compass or some ninety thousand tonnes of lithium out of but that's just

a third of the overall deposit there's twice that over on the check side so if we add it all up incorporating some of the older calculations we arrive at an estimate of at least two hundred fifty thousand tonnes of metallic lithium compared to other deposits around the world for example those in australia this is certainly an important deposit and of course. for years the lithium in this mine remained virtually untouched there was no way to extract it on a commercial scale now that's changed the fry bag researchers have developed a new process to extract lithium carbonate friends involved. lithium it seems to make batteries for cell phone cameras and laptops. it's also a key material in the production and storage shelves for solar and wind energy. and as electronic ability takes off demand will continue to soar so this raw material that play such

a critical role in the transition to cleaner energy. it's growing creasing lee valuable. the recent. price of lithium has nearly doubled over the last year and a half. it's been turned over lithium carbonate in the form in which all traded now costs around thirteen thousand dollars. on the chinese stock market itself for around twenty two or twenty three thousand dollars a ton along. the process used to extract the lithium from or is relatively simple there or is first crushed and is involved it is removed using magnets. it's then heated to one thousand degrees celsius which causes the chemical bonds in the material to break down making the various elements in a single day easier to separate. the fluoride and women and irene which used to get in the way of lithium extraction can also be refined and used. you can already say that the process is very environmentally friendly you could

even call it a form of green mining because it doesn't produce any waste. the crucial step is just carbon dioxide and water as a leeching medium. with the help of electro dialysis pressure and heat the carbon dioxide escapes leaving the lithium carbonate behind once that's filtered and dried it can be sold commercially. this extreme i'm for because it's very simple that's important otherwise it might not be economically viable the amount of lithium in sin well diet isn't very high the extraction process has to be easy and inexpensive otherwise it wouldn't be worth it i've talked to him off the brakes. what's more the same process can be used to extract lithium from old battery. until now became i and batteries collected for recycling have been fed into

a high temperature furnace that yields an alley from which cobalt nickel and copper can be recovered. to recycle the lithium it would need to be extracted from the slack before it's melted. the lithium is contained in what's called the black mass the substance layered on the cathode by adding carbon dioxide and water and heating the mass to at least fifty degrees celsius the other components of the black mass are melted out leaving behind a white deposit that i am carbonate. the opposite also we are able to extract nearly all the lithium from first generation batteries. it's a bit more difficult with the more modern batteries but we've been able to extract seventy five or eighty percent of it already with no real problems long. time off from the high. in the future recycling all the valuable raw materials in lithium ion batteries will become ever more important to freiburg process looks very

promising. to lithium that life slumbering in the alps kubica mountains has now become a valuable resource. and the old mine here may soon be cropped back to life. that wraps it up for this week but join us again next time when we'll look at how researchers are trying to harness artificial intelligence to decode hieroglyphs faster than ever before. graphics in the video game assassin's creed origins are based on ancient egyptian sources. but machine learning played a key role during design. in the project experts from the field of egyptology worked closely with game developers the past meets the future next time on tomorrow today see that.

this is the w. news live from berlin the world rings in the new year. odd . i was displaced docile crowds from the pacific to bit sick we'll take a look at the highlights from around the globe also on the program and it's a new year's warning from north korea supreme leader kim jong un sounds gone the young will change course on denuclearization if u.s. sanctions against his country continue. going no going where no probe has gone before and nasa says the spacecraft is flowing past the most distant world at best . i'm phil gale welcome to the program. as the last parts of the world ringing in

twenty nineteen of a new year has officially begun from east to west revelers have been celebrating with music dancing and dazzling fireworks displays so let's take a look at some of the highlights for millions of people around the globe the last moments of twenty eight thousand were spent holding their breath then as the clock struck midnight the show began. from kuala lumpur to sydney. to hong kong. hours later twenty one thousand came to pakistan. to dubai. home of the world's tallest skyscraper the board khalifa. and on to the lebanese capital beirut.

one of the largest meal year's eve celebrations in europe is in berlin at the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show. but. it was a similar scene in the city of lights paris i. ran across the atlantic to cut back up on a beach in rio de janeiro. in new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight not even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm of this year's event had a serious note celebrating generalism and press freedom. i i. i.

now north korea's leader has used his annual new year's address to warn that his country may change direction on its promise of denuclearization if the u.s. continues its sanctions in his televised speech kim jong un said he remained committed to working toward lasting peace on the korean peninsula stronger cooperation between north and south korea and called on the south the whole to joint ex military exercises with the united states chairman kim also warned the u.s. not to test his country's patience not operable and didn't although he was at the well i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome that. would be me however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world we have no option but to explore

a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean peninsula he said let's get more on this from reuters correspondent josh smith who joins us from the south korean capital seoul out welcome so day w. just what is this new path likely to look like. well of course many who heard that fear that it could mean worse possibly a return to some of the missile tests and launches that we saw on twenty seven pm in the stress of war from both pyongyang and washington but many others given the emphasis to kim jong un has placed on economic development more growth for his country see it as likely that. north korean leader kim jong un is basically setting the stage to blame washington for any failure of the ration the need for to say should cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or

china or even south korea and potentially bring them onboard as a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june. well while we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit yes so each side does appear to be convinced and the other has done little to fulfill

previous promises so what do they need to say you know disobey convinced. well the very basic level they have a degree in what they came out from singapore summit was basically a series of very broad goals and that is left a lot to be argued over since then so i think many analysts will be looking for against the civics out of any future meeting an actual agreement some kind of event limited roadmap that both sides could potentially get real on compare you know progress talk it has been joining us and josh saul thank you. oh nasa has rung in the new year with a fly past of the most distant object ever explored the new horizon spacecraft traveled about a billion miles past pluto to capture images of a body that scientists hope will provide answers by the origins of other planets

pictures are expected to reach earth in the next few hours. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic fly by almost six and a half billion kilometers from a. but we've never been not only so far from the sun but it's so well preserved in this ultimate freedoms of the year absolute zero so this is the time capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have a series of science objectives one of the prime on the geology of. the whatever

crater is it might have an affair with whatever fractures other topography anything that would give us clues as to how it how it surfaces form. the new horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen it passed the door of planets and found it to be larger than thought it kept going another billion and a half kilometers deep into the quite a belt to reach ultimate tooley this stage of its mission is the most difficult we're farther from the earth and so the communications times are much longer we're farther from the sun and so the lighting levels are lower all of these things add up to a much tougher and much more challenging fly by. new horizons will continue on into the further reaches of space and could yield even more discoveries for years to come. now to some of the other stories making news around the world

russian media say rescuers have found a ten month old baby alive in the rubble of an apartment block a day after the building was destroyed by an explosion believe a gas leak caused the blast at least seven people have been killed. police in britain are treating a stabbing attack in the city of manchester as a terrorism incident three people including a police officer was seriously injured on new year's eve at the city's central victoria train station the male suspect has been taken into custody. at least eight people have been injured after a man drove a small van into a crowd of people celebrating new year's eve in tokyo police say the suspect then assaulted a ninth person on the street a twenty one year old's been arrested. was ill's new far right president of j. abbas an r. o. begins his four year term today but as the former army captain takes office activists fear his policies will have disastrous consequences for the already depleted amazon rain forest present bowls of both scenarios says he will not let

protecting the environment stand in the way of economic progress. smoke rises on the front lines of an environmental war the battle here is all but over once again humans have overcome nature and driven back the rain forest but it's hard to speak of winners here in the east of the amazon jungle. all this has to go so that cows can graze here this worker tells us then he warns us to leave before his boss sees us what they're doing here is illegal journalists and environmentalist are not welcome forester andrei miranda is shot though not for the first time. i feel a great sense of loss i work so hard to protect the rainforest it's such a complex ecosystem it took centuries to grow and then just a few minutes for it to be destroyed transformed into ash and dust. andree works

for an organization that helps property owners use the rain forest without destroying it but in recent months more and more jungle has been cleared on tree plains the political climate. view we saw in this election that the new government won't take care of the environment we're scared that all our efforts for a sustainable use of the rain forest will soon be over. brazil's incoming far right president dry balsa naro has repeatedly said that the rain forest can no longer stand in the way of economic growth what exactly he means by that is unclear but brazil's powerful mining and farming lobbies accounting on him to represent their interests the military dictatorship that ruled brazil until one nine hundred eighty five wanted the forests chopped down and ordered the

country's space agency to monitor the clearance now research is a trying to protect the environment the yellow areas on this map show where the rain forest has been destroyed. the areas of the amazon that have been deforested at up to about twice the size of germany. cattle and soy farming require lots of land the farms are profitable in the short term but in the long term research is argue intact rain forest some more important on trees team demonstrates how that could work to map out the forest selecting individual trees to be logged valuable would then this area will go untouched for thirty years is. what we're missing in brazil is strong environmental policy is environmental awareness and a public committed to these issues as long as the priority is to make products as cheaply as possible overexploitation will continue no one's watching out for the

forests brazil's recent presidents didn't do much for the rain forest but many fear the country's new leader will usher in unprecedented destruction. boxen great floyd mayweather came out of retirement to beat a japanese kickboxer attention and not a coward in an exhibition match in tokyo on new year's eve they were the floyd classic our three times as he unleashed a series of jobs and hoax without reply it was all over in just one round with the american winning by technical knockout worth reported nine million dollars the fight attracted criticism for its one sided nature many saying it is a publish the stunt and a money grab for mayweather but i want to say as this was a fight because it was a fight it would've been twelve it was. exposed and i mean it's actually. going i mean it's but. a young man reliant a true champion. for even getting there is where a circle with

happy new year and happy birthday europe today twenty years ago the european single currency was born bringing both success and challenges to the block. also on the show romania assumes the rotating presidency but a planned overhaul of its judiciary threatens to spoil the party. welcome to do business i want to get jones in berlin. so twenty eighteen is history but breaks it isn't i'm afraid it will carry on well into twenty nineteen here are the key dates to look out for or a void this year and the first comes up in mid january when m.p.'s will vote on prime minister to resign may's controversial breaks a deal now that will determine what kind of breaks it could happen come march twenty ninth the date britain committed to leave the e.u.

now in an interview with the b.b.c. the us ambassador to the u.k. said that a quote quick and a massive trade deal with the us would only be possible in the event of a no deal breaks it and that's exactly what would happen if parliament rejects mase deal we'd be in for a no deal breaks at a nightmare for business on both sides of the channel but if parliament accepts mase deal then we would look at a so-called orderly break said with a transition period starting after march twenty ninth to britain and the e.u. to sort out their new trade relations and this transition period would end on december thirty first in twenty twenty and breaks it would be completed now plenty of time of course for more hiccups and drama along the way perhaps even an exit from brakes it who knows well earlier i asked our financial correspondent in the single poor andrea hang whether asian countries look forward to a post of brics it's trade to deal with britain. there are already you can bet

china and japan are touting to be the biggest winners for bread deals. this is of course following behind hong kong which was colonized and run by and managed by the u.k. so they already have a very long standing strong investment process proceedings from the u.k. towards them it's very strong in financial deals as well. all these deals of between hong kong and the u.k. are just going to increase china and japan all falling closely behind but it will take years before we see any action of these implementations or plans or the real result and outcomes of these deals. and i was and drag speaking to us from singapore today marks the birthday of the euro it was launched exactly twenty years ago on the first of january one thousand nine hundred ninety nine then of course as

a currency for eleven you countries and at the time it only served as book money it took another three years until the euro also became physical money with notes and coins after a rocky start the euro eventually turned into the world's second most traded currency and a guarantor for stability in europe. the euro was launched on january first one thousand nine hundred ninety nine with a huge party the european central bank set the exchange rates with the national currencies but europeans could only pay with the euro using checks credit or debit cards coins and notes were released into circulation three years later. initially financial markets were skeptical. the euro fell to a record low of a c. five cents to the dollar on october twenty sixth two thousand. things improved two years later when the currency was launched as cash in paper and coins

that board confidence in the euro climbed reaching a record high of nearly one dollar sixty. but the two thousand and eight financial crisis shook the global banking system. the euro also took a hit within a couple of months it lost a fifth of its value. times remain turbulent for the common currency the twenty ten greek debt exacerbated the situation and in danger of the euro the european central bank jumped in to support this and the currency lost significant value in twenty fifteen amid another debt crisis in greece and the conflict in ukraine but it started rising steadily afterwards. the euro is now the world's second most important currency more than three hundred forty million people use it in europe but times have still remained stormy for the common currency.

well also today romania takes over the e.u.'s rotating presidency for the very first time it comes at a crucial time for europe with the brics it of course and the european parliament elections falling into the very six month presidential period in a tweet today your council president tom squished romania all the best with its first year presidency saying that he is confident the country will deliver but many in brussels mixed feelings for some time now the remaining government has been at odds with the e.u. regarding the rule of law separation of powers and corruption. these protesters say they've had it with corruption and nepotism so they gather at noon every day in front of the governing parties buildings in the city of sydney you in the region of transylvania. they're calling for politicians to respect the rule of law on. the grounds of the existence what's clear is there is corruption at all levels of society that's why we're standing

here on the streets to send a message we cannot look away any more all the politicians should know that we're watching them very closely. champion is the. mayor of. a town in the car pay theon mountains he is frequently confronted with corruption allegations connected to his plans to revive an old gold mine close to the nearby city of deva with the help of a canadian mining company. he says his plans are all about bringing employment to the region. but. this project could create hundreds of jobs and thereby help significantly reduce unemployment in our town the whole region including neighboring villages could benefit from the mine but the project requires getting rid of four hundred hectares of forest so far opponents have blocked the mine through the courts.

in the town hall the mountain of files on the mine is growing. corruption is something the mayor doesn't want to talk about he presents a document from the government's anti corruption agency it says he has not profited personally from the five hundred million euro project. that yes and n.g.o.s cuse me of illegal dealings but the anti corruption agency investigated everything and now i've been officially exonerated. down in the miners' settlement former employees are hoping for new jobs there are uncertainties once again up on the mountain new allegations of corruption against the mayor. the n.g.o.'s mining watch accuses him of illegally signing over the forest to the mining company.

it says the mayor was in cahoots with the firm. then after just one month i think the whole session with the mining company they think being at the moment investigating and the corruption director right and the mayor is directly involved in this case for now corruption is bringing anger to remain it's hindering investment and keeping investors and jobs away. brazil prepares to swear in president elect jab also narrow the country's new right wing leader has pledged to kickstart the economy promising to emulate the policies of u.s. president donald trump by putting national interests first and promoting the private sector is said and done perhaps especially as the country continues to grapple with soaring debt for the new finance minister there will be no shortage of challenges this is paolo gadget is the man in charge of turning brazil's economic

fortunes around us trained economist he's pledged to introduce a host of free market reforms. here he is back in october telling the media about his plans to boost investment by lowering interest rates and reducing bureaucracy. he also wants to sell off state enterprises in order to reduce public debt which skyrocketed during the previous administration so just how big of a challenge will that be let's take a look at the numbers. back in two thousand and fourteen brazil's government debt amounted to fifty eight percent of total economic output by two thousand and eighteen is had surged to seventy six per cent the world bank has warned that the figure could rise to one hundred and forty percent of g.d.p. in the next decade if no drastic measures are taken one measure that's being discussed is the privatisation of state owned oil company petro brass it's brazil's

biggest firm and by far its most valuable asset. parts of those have already been sold off that decision came in response to a major corruption scandal that broke in twenty fourteen but the prospect of the entire company ending up in the hands of private investors is a step too far for many including apparently for president paulson narrow himself sealing the face of the oil giant is therefore one of many pressing issues on the agenda for the new finance minister. on a more lighter note to now japanese have been flocking to retailers to stock up on what has got to be one of the world's most elegant new year's gastronomical rituals it's all about sumptuous boxes packed with traditional foods often delicacies such as caviar and truffles the lack of boxes sometimes with two or three may as a court. the most luxurious ones at the department store in tokyo can sell for

nearly fifteen hundred dollars. and that's your business update here on g.w. you can find more on our website at g.w. dot com business thanks for watching. on.

your own max power outage neuroma let me talk you wrote a memoir so long there's this week in your inbox everything's different in celebrities are calling the shots. today british photographer rank in this in charge high money is right in place they can see my upset of your rights and issues with. your romance news d.w. . how did you. discover your concept. discover with the powerhouse. of

legend after one hundred lives the ideals of the potters are more relevant today than they were a. hundred years ago visionaries reshaped things to come the fall people are just to design. with ideas that are part of our future. of our house and man does cross over into began to consider music i mean about to meet our house means a vision of the future. what makes the house and its creation inspiring to this very. it's somehow a part of our way. the three dimensional starts in january thirteenth w. .

today mechanist posing full stop to talk of her rank and he has invited to join him in his studio in london spencer's town district. however why welcome to the special edition of your own max i'm home your. megan lee and co-hosting with me today is our very special guest world famous for hire for rankin but i thank you so much for having us in your studios here in london. all right well you name it from the rolling stones david boy madonna the queen even miss piggy you've pretty much filmed and photographed them all so i guess it's fair to ask you for my first question what is

a day in the life of rincon like it's quite long because i'll be very early or probably wake up about five maybe five c. i get i'll check my emails very quickly i then take my dogs for a walk for about an hour and a half i come by about six to seven emails to about nine thirty and then i come and say generally no go sheet which is very rare i'll do the meetings and then i'll probably finish it was have a lunch at one and always have a meeting never have a lunch. and then be finished by seven and then have me. ok so it sounds pretty ordinary even though you're surrounded by celebrities when you do actually do a shoot yeah i'm pretty much a workaholic so so everybody thinks i'm a photographer direct much the much more i have a publishing company i have an advertising agency or rep direct. i have managed to

do you know the studio which which it's yes some kind of but it's amazing really is a can help us put the show today together we're going to be talking a little bit more in-depth about your publishing company will come to that later right but you know your subjects very differently from superstar athletes like le bron james a basketball star to actresses to singers what we through the creative process of how you start a shoot who is always different you know sometimes it would be me that's coming with the idea the idea sometimes. an agency sometimes is a client sometimes it's a celebrity that comes out with a base install with a brief which is like a treatment the how of pre-production that gets all the stuff that you need to shoot together. with the celebrity or the model the subject going to her make up it's cool kind of concept behind it and make up will spend

ages doing the concept i call it glam present which means i'm waiting for glam and then we go on set and we shoot digitally which means that everything is seen by everybody and it's a very open forum so everybody can comment on it and sometimes that doesn't work for you because maybe the steps he's not in a really good place that day so you have to persuade can be very difficult but most of all i mean it's pretty good because it's very collaborative ok we want to take a look at the work and life so far frank. rankin's portraits are world famous he manages to do what most photographers can only dream of capture unforgettable moments with stars like. david bowie and politicians like mikhail gorbachev or. many of his works have become iconic.

like this official portrait of the queen to mark a golden jubilee. the british photographer is in worldwide shoots photos and creates ad campaigns for international labels rankin has even made a name for himself as a film director. john rankin walker lindh scotland did nine hundred sixty six he demonstrated a good sense of humor in his cell for traits when he was in his early twenty's rankin decided to make a trigger for his career and move to london. this is where he got his big break back in the early nine hundred ninety s. together with his college friend jefferson hack he founded youth culture magazine dazed and confused. stars like you two from. model kate moss.

actress kirsten dunst and pop star justin timberlake graced the covers blanket now publishes for fashion and lifestyle magazines and has issued more than forty books of photographs he has his own studio publishing house and added agency. his latest print project is congo magazine which appears twice a year. and with his ambitious project rankin live the photographer shows that he can make anyone look like a cover model since two thousand and nine he shot pictures of thousands of ordinary people like here in berlin it's an all knowing invention which takes him around the globe. sometimes even famous faces and immediately recognizable in rankin's photos like icelandic singer or top model heidi klum whether it's his celebrity portray it's

all photography rankin has created many iconic images including some that will go down in history. so you have done so what you heard what would you say was perhaps the breakthrough not not one thing that a couple of things probably photographing. was a big thing set up day. and then photographing the queen ok i will tell us about that of course. i've done a little research on the queen and found that she had of sense of humor so i was really focused on getting a photograph of her with that sense of humor. so she. pop my camera fell off and she started laughing so once i'd seen now i was like oh i'm going to get and i just took a mom can you please mom can small mom can have smoke into she smiled and then i got it now you've also worked with ordinary people what are the challenges there the challenges of working real people. are pretty much the same as working with

celebrities to make people feel comfortable and i think the thing is it was more difficult for famous people because they go to their face their way of being show and to get them out of that it's more complicated whereas real people it's more about just making them feel good you know making the film feel comparable so what is your preferred medium for working film photography print i think probably fits over fees where i'm happiest because his wife kind to you know i picked up a camera was twenty one and it was a big big deal for me because the light bulb moments. photography is definitely my first love but i think film is so difficult to do and get roy is my challenge in my life and i don't think i've nailed to particularly yet with drama in quite well with commercials and writings of idiots and in two thousand and seven you started yet another magazine hunger yes what is it called hunger. a star i don't get

because i left days as a creative director that kind of. turned in the team aspect of a because he gets so much information for you from and ideas for from working a team and i was still hungry hungus enough to get it and now the subject of our next report is media artist m. cole tell me a little bit about how you discovered her on net through my agent so you see who works for me read write in photography and she said i want to meet some new. and she said the skull and color she's really interesting and i saw her work knows some things i'm familiar with so i asked if i could meet her and she came in and the first question i asked her was you know what was your interest in and sort of obsession with technology because most people your age are more about analog in that kind of looking backwards and she said well it's around the industry and it

was full of middle age white men no offense to me and knows i was right you're amazing and then she told me has story and it was such a. intends and her way of dealing with what's happened to her was a for her. i was very taken by her well in saying on the subject then of coal and her work i want to take a closer look now in our next report. works by british multimedia artist m. cole provocative and often unconventional photos and videos are her preferred mode of creative expressions my whole. line between some of this very task and something that's entice a. film is a plot medium so i want to bring out the sensory feeling from it so if i can get people to feel something through the texture of the color in my amateur.

stick. them study information experience design at london's royal college of art there she discovered her passion for photography and video art. i ended up just kind of playing around in the low i found the photography is so much more rewarding than spending twenty four hours on a sewing machine trying to make. you know i can just throw stuff in the show and people on the show and get the pitch and i. know works predominantly as a photographer and director much of her work is inspired by surrealism an artist like salvador dali and. like her short film i'm your venus. is poking fun at. connections from the cost of plus who are nice to see the most ideal. and connecting it to.

the walls so i kind of recreate. a new. kind of. based on. much of m's work revolves around the stereotypical presentation of women as a team she too fell victim to digital abuse when pictures of her were distributed on pornographic websites. on plugging for a few years she's back on line with fresh confidence. you know if you've been bullied out of a space you shouldn't you shouldn't be ashamed to be in that space you just have to be those much sunny video i mean i get new to some of my work sometimes i'm pushing like stuff. i've got control of that you know i'm not going to let somebody else take control of my online image if it's going to be that is going to be mine. humor and irony are two important stylistic devices m.

cole likes to employ regardless of whether the topic is serious or not like in her video sloppy seconds. to buy anything serious or specially problematic social problems and humaneness is a universal tool to use say that people can relax and then once people are relaxed this so much more likely to get an understanding if you're well. then cold certainly can't complain about not getting enough commission and the british media are just as competent to her career will continue to blossom. now ranking has invited meghan to take a short will through this area of north london where he lives and works. and calls not only a media artist you've also featured her on online and in your latest edition or upcoming edition of your magazine tell me

a little bit more about this collaboration well i told my agent as i said and she she is somebody that i sing people should be aware of so i was very very keen to care speeches on law and i adore seachtain days as well i think that when you get you know when you meet someone you really think is brilliant at what they do you really really want to get them as much p.r. . or were standing right here in the middle of london your films. gotland why i came to town one can unlock all i moved here because. this is kentish town and say ok. when i mean here it was pretty much the only place in north london that i could afford to move. really around the corner and i moved here in ninety six just over there and i lived here and in north london since about ninety six well you know moving from scotland to london i mean i'm just guessing but it must've

felt like you were a small fish in a big pond yeah i didn't know anybody in the industry when i moved to london i was very much from a kind of known commercial photography no not no not since i was in background say it was a very strange experience and that's why it was great to meet jefferson at college because we were by from the same boat and we confuse yes and days confused and we we both ended up kind of you know china kind of make a mark here without any support from anybody really and why here why not hollywood for example i mean you work with so many of these celebrities famous faces i think then we had no clue that we'd ever be working with all the would we were very much focused on you know we were bright for college when we met and we started the magazine days if he's at college and he was really just a way of us kind of document ing in creating culture that was around hollywood wasn't even on a radar all right i want to pull

a little bit back to social media again i mean you started out in classic publishing now we live in the digital age you're also really active on social media . it's a classic photographer but also someone who uses social media to promote your work what is your responsibility when it comes to teenagers and image in these images of beauty online well i think everybody that picks up a camera professionally has a responsibility to the. to hear your such a graphing too while you're photographing them but i think nowadays what i've i've kind of love myself for free for the process for knowing you know when you push the boundaries you have to really know why you're doing what your intention is to you know to get to the problem is that now people have got no idea of that responsibility and using it kind of where they nearly say i think i actually now

i've got more responsibilities pillai or not want to put some sort of focus on not ok well side art for our next report which rain can also help to choose today we're going to take a look at teenagers social media and social media obsession our teenagers winning or losing in this digital age. these days you can do much more with a phone than just make telephone calls and send text messages. news apps help you keep up with what's going on in the world twenty four seven. where you can play games to your heart's content. and if you need a train ticket you can buy it with your smartphone. thanks to streaming you can always access your favorite music. social media platforms such as snatch at facebook and instagram allow you to communicate with friends nonstop. the possibilities are endless what do young people use their phones for the most.

by many to find out when the next bus is coming from music audio books everything phallus i think mostly to interact with over people and also to take some good photos i use it mainly for. to you know to discover the city on my own listen music a lot and obviously social media i use for surfing the internet to make. victor assume. to speak with. people. is one of his particularly popular at the moment instagram instagram pictures of instagram and circumcision. users can upload pictures and videos using various filters and share them with others and like entries instagram already has more than eight million users double the figure two years ago. people share their favorite experiences placation snaps are particularly

popular as are pictures of animals. and of tasty looking food. it's a perfect platform for showing off end users love it. is especially as it offers then the possibility to present their life in a different way. it definitely is not the real world i added stuff everyone edits things. because this is that really what is really happening in our lives a lot of so there are reports everywhere that things are always being edited out there's definitely a lot of them on instagram i think a lot of people edit their photos. you can even change the way you look with the maps and undergo a digital beauty operation but this is not without problems studies have shown the digitally enhanced versions of the ideal body are having an impact on people's perception of themselves. you can even change the shape of your eyes using one click this it says really makes

a difference. make it easy to have plumped up lips. that's when you. people doing gnashing my face like that if you got used to doing that all the time when you would like yourself with a jewish or you can have a narrower nose if you like. soldiers like this one then says if we were surrounded by perfect people but that's nonsense it's not the case at all nobody's perfect. i know this new stage teaches school children in their parents how to deal with social media. some children already have smartphones at the age of eight. why are they such must have accessories. social recognition it's a need that we all have of the social network to tap into this need very simply literally have to click i can upload a picture after buying a new pair of sunglasses and share it with my friends and get instant feedback on

what made it a fun. biggest fish wants to ensure that young people use their phones and computers responsibly. in other words continue to use them but not excessively. others have them are the question is whether you can do something without just small are you still able to it's important to teach children they can survive without their phone they can get through a day without them and the person who can talk. phones and social networks can beat addicted. so sometimes the only answer is to switch them off. this along to see in rankin studio. mechanist specially like his ranking master firms have. now you want to talk about the subject of out the issues of teenagers in social media addiction why

is this topic important to you well photography as a medium has become very democratic lots of people using because a small phones and i found myself on different social media platforms kind of wanting to go back to the mint check them a lot and i suddenly realized for about three years ago that i was addicted i was addicted to walk people were thinking of how people related to it was it being liked and i thought well if this is me being addicted to it then if you're a ten twelve year old kid how's that affecting you how's that influencing you i started to talk to people about it and i just got this overwhelming. you know response from people that they were having the same feelings start to do some research on it and it was really obvious there was a lot of statistics coming out that actually people were dated and a lot of the platforms we designed to be addictive and i just felt we have a responsibility because it's photography they're using the using them as

a way of talking to each other photos or way they're not about capturing a moment their way of conveying a moment because that is something that i do i just felt responsible and i felt that we should do something about it ok was and he said you felt responsible what have you done i mean if you take in any action or anything yeah well funnily enough i am actually taking quite an interesting action of trying to set up a symposium with my publishing company days media to actually discuss all these things and i've been writing what we call white papers which i like to keep like essays on and trying to get a group of people together to write an essay a series of essays on it ok so you're saying that you did become addicted to anything what people were saying about you do you still use social media and i do by most are looking into other kind of more ethical ways of using social media because the problem with it is that it's not necessarily the people that are

running the companies the problem is the algorithms that they've created are just constantly feeding out desire. is something. i mean it's something that we need to investigate and discuss and of been charmed really hard to look for alternatives but yes i still use it it's impossible for me not to use it because it's part of my business it's a life of everybody's life and also i don't think you can change anything from the outside i think you need to be from the with the inside changing and creating content there's a little bit different or trying to challenge people or even having fun with it because i move see somebody that like take the mickey things. ok yeah going on but on a lighter note now with selfies you know some guys are meant to be fine. in their very very tight dress if you do what do you think why do you think they're doing the best i think we could create is a modernise the people a perpetual ating for the same type of imagery and i really think the problem is

that if this is what you are putting out is your kind of happy life you can as online life its. life like and also people are looking at these images of people and they're thinking it's real or they're thinking even if it's fabricated they have a better life than them and i think that sets people up against each other and back in the day when photoshop came along all of the media especially the magazines got really criticized for using photoshop on celebrities are role models now you can go and buy some equal face chewed and you see people use not own on on social media and not inherently is one of the worst things you could be doing because not only are you creating a fantasy version of yourself that's going to mess with other people's heads as well so you're messing with heads and both ways well i'm i'm glad to hear that you're trying to do something positive in that direction but unfortunately we are out of time for sunday yes parecon thank you so much for having us here in our

this is. the world's. display crowds from the pacific to the atlantic take a look at the highlights because also on the program. a new year's warning from north korea's supreme leader kim jong un says will change course on denuclearization if u.s. sanctions against his country continue. no prob has gone before nasa says a spacecraft has flown past the most distant world ever studied. delivers her traditional new year's address and calls for openness tolerance and respect as one of the toughest years of her political career draws to a close. i'm

told gal welcome to the program. as the last parts of the world's ring in twenty nineteen the new year has officially begun from east to west revelers have been celebrating with music dancing and dazzling fireworks displays let's take a look at some of the highlights. for millions of people around the globe the last moments of twenty eight thousand was spent holding their breath then as the clock struck midnight the show began. from kuala lumpur to sydney. to hong kong. hours later twenty nine thousand came to pakistan. then to dubai. the home of the world's tallest skyscraper the board khalifa.

and on to the lebanese capital beirut. one of the largest new year's eve celebrations in europe is in berlin at the brandenburg gate hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered for the show. but. it was a similar scene in the city of lights paris. then across the atlantic to cut back up on a beach in rio de janeiro. in new york crowds gathered on times square for an annual ritual the dropping of a crystal ball at midnight not even heavy rain could dampen the enthusiasm this

year's event had a serious note celebrating generalism and press freedom. i i. i. north korea's leader has used his annual new year's address to walk but his country may change direction on its promise of denuclearize asia if the united states continues its sanctions in his televised speech kim jong un said he remained committed to working towards lasting peace on the korean peninsula stronger cooperation between north and south korea and called on the south to halt its joint military exercises with the u.s. seven can also warn the u.s. not to test his country's patience not operable and didn't know that he will get them i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and will make efforts to produce an outcome that the

international community would welcome that. would mean however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world we have no option but to explore a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean peninsula. let's get more on this from reuters correspondent josh smith who joins us from the south korean capital seoul out welcome so day w. just what is this new path likely to look like. well of course many who heard that fear that it could mean the worst possibly a return to some of the missile tests and launches that we saw in twenty seventeen in the stress of war from both pyongyang and washington but many others given the emphasis to conjunction has placed on economic development more growth for his

country see it as likely that. north korean leader kim jong un is basically setting the stage to blame washington for any failure of the ration the new thriller to satiate cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or china or even south korea and potentially bring them up board as a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june well while we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will

be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit yes so each side does appear to be convinced and the other has done little to fulfill previous promises so what do they need to say you know disobey convinced. well the very basic level they have a degree what they came out from singapore summit was basically a series of fairly broad goals and that is left a lot to be argued over since then and so i think many analysts i will be looking for against the civics out of any future meeting any actual agreement some kind of limited roadmap that both sides could potentially agree on compare progress to talk a good time for joining us josh smith in seoul thank you alice take

a look at some of the other stories making news around the world or thought is in the german city of basra up say four people were injured when a man drove his car into pedestrians just after midnight on new year's day a fifteen year old suspect was later arrested officials believe the attack may have been directed against foreigners. place in britain the treating of stopping attack in the city of manchester as i terrorism incident three people including a police officer was seriously injured on unis east of the city's central victoria train station one mob has been arrested. at least eight people have been injured one man after a man drove into a crowd of people celebrating the minister in tokyo police say the suspect that assaulted a ninth person on the street a twenty one year old has been arrested. in russia a ten year old to a ten month old baby has been found alive thirty five hours after an explosion leveled an apartment complex rescuers found the boy in freezing temperatures after

hearing his cries before just for the ghastly course the blast at least seven people were killed. in january the first scenes romania take over the rotating presidency of the european union but e.u. officials have already voiced concerns about the country's fitness for the role brussels has repeatedly warned has written has repeatedly warned that romanian government plans to overhaul the legal system well watered down and to corruption holes. here's the wall where i. expect his photo will soon hang the remaining government wants to get rid of the attorney general who doesn't shy away from criticizing the government and its begun taking steps to dismiss him from office the official reason abuse of power. this jesting that remain is programs have nothing to do with crime and corruption but instead judges and prosecutors are to blame. this makes it clear to me what the real goal of the

reform is. the government's judicial reforms have unleashed an intense political battle the changes go against the will of many judges prosecutors and ordinary romanians who have been demonstrating for months. the protesters fear the amendments could reverse years of progress achieved in the fight against government corruption. but we've seen many politicians growing too weary of defending corruption in. the so as parliamentarians have begun to abuse the rule of law that they change the penal code and attack the institution of the attorney general. before. critics say the justice reforms are for the benefit of people like leave you with rodney or one of the most powerful men in the country he nominated one of his allies for the position of prime minister he

himself though could be headed for jail that agni or has already been convicted of electoral fraud as well as abuse of office but if the new judicial reforms go through he may well have fewer problems remain as justice minister thinks politicians are being unfairly targeted. you can't just sit by and see hundreds of remain ians convicted and then later acquitted because they have weren't any crimes committed who fall out of the problem. from january first romania takes over the rotating presidency of the e.u. many romanians hope that the e.u. will then exert more pressure on the government to uphold the rule of law. brazil's new foreign presence jaya balsa narrow begins his four year term today but as the former army captain takes office activists fear his policies will have disastrous consequences for the already depleted amazon rainforest present both scenarios says he won't let protecting the environment stand in the way of economic progress.

smoke rises on the front lines of an environmental war the battle here is all but over once again humans have overcome nature and driven back the rain forest but it's hard to speak of winners here in the east of the amazon jungle. all this has to go so that cows can graze here this worker tells us then he wants us to leave before his boss sees us what they're doing here is illegal journalists and environmentalist are not welcome forester andrei miranda is shot though not for the first time thanks to a myth that you did and i feel a great sense of loss i work so hard to protect the rainforest it's such a complex ecosystem it took centuries to grow and then just a few minutes for it to be destroyed transformed into ash and dust. andree works

for an organization that helps property owners use the rain forest without destroying it but in recent months more and more jungle has been cleared on tree plains the political climate. view we saw in this election that the new government won't take care of the environment we're scared that all our efforts for a sustainable use of the rain forest will soon be over. brazil's incoming far right president try also narrow has repeatedly said that the rain forest can no longer stand in the way of economic growth what exactly he means by that is unclear but brazil's powerful mining and farming lobbies accounting on him to represent their interests the military dictatorship that ruled brazil until one nine hundred eighty five wanted the forests chopped down and ordered the

country's space agency to monitor the clearance now research is a trying to protect the environment. the yellow areas on this map show where the rain forest has been destroyed. the areas of the amazon that have been deforested add up to about twice the size of germany. cattle and soy farming require lots of land the farms of profitable in the short term but in the long term research is argue intact rain forest symbol are important andris team demonstrates how that could work to map out the forest selecting individual trees to be logged valuable would then this area will go untouched for thirty years. what we're missing in brazil is strong environmental policy is environmental awareness and a public committed to these issues as long as the priority is to make products as cheaply as possible overexploitation will continue no one's watching out for the forests brazil's recent presidents didn't do much for the rain forest but many fear

the country's new leader will usher in unprecedented destruction. and nasa has rung in the new year with a fly past of the most distant object ever explored the new horizon spacecraft traveled about a billion miles past pluto to capture images of a body that scientists hope will provide answers about the origins of other planets pictures are expected to reach in the next few hours. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic fly by almost six and a half billion kilometers from earth but we've never been. so far but it's so well preserved this ultimate freedoms of the corporate were absolute zero so this

is the price. we never. before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have a series of science objectives one of the prime one thumb up the geology of. the whatever craters it might have on its surface with whatever fractures other topography anything that will give us clues as to how it how it surface was formed . the new horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen if past the door of planets and sounded to be larger than thought it kept going another billion and a half kilometers deep into the core of the belt to reach ultimate tooley this stage of its mission is the most difficult. we're farther from the earth and so the

communications times are much longer we're farther from the sun and so the lighting levels are lower all of these things add up to a much tougher and much more challenging why buy. new horizons will continue on into the further reaches of space and could yield even more discoveries for years to come. as sports boxing great or floyd mayweather came our server a tyrant to beat japanese kickboxer attention and not a coward in an exhibition match in tokyo on new year's eve mayweather floored nasik our three times as he unleashed a series of jabs and books without reply it was all over in just one round of the american bring back technical knockout worth a reported nine million dollars the fight attracted criticism for a one sided nature many see it as a publicity stunt and an easy payday for me. but i want to say this was a fight because it was a fight it would have been twelve rounds it was. it was the action but

it is what. a young. a true champion. had of him for even getting those words circle with a guy like myself with so much experience stay with boxing schorsch peña was a top portuguese fighter before losing most of his sight in two thousand and six and bad by his disability he switched sports and became a paralympic marathon bomber but he never forgot his boxing roots and now he trains underprivileged children in lisbon his contributions have now been recognized george pino dreamt of being a boxing world champion but a detached retina ended his professional career now he's giving something back to the community. deprived housing estate in lisbon is a tough place to grow up. the near is teaching children how to box so they can

protect themselves and learn self discipline. i also grew up in difficult neighborhoods i had problems when i was a teenager particularly with alcohol and drugs that's why i thought i could use boxing to help these kids by taking inspiration from my story and making them champions not necessarily in fighting but champions in their lives. the forty two year old has also branched out from boxing and he's aiming for a place in the twenty twenty tokyo paralympic marathon alongside just cited runner . so much. i can say that i'm happier now being blind today i see well i see everything i want to do everything i hope for myself and for others. before i was really blind and selfish i didn't value the simple things that i value today in fact i've won more than i've lost. but teaching boxing remains

a passion and now the local council has agreed to part funded new sports center named in pinas honor for others his dream of boxing success could still become a reality. good luck. today more of a top of the hour and a moment chance for german chancellor angela merkel's and new year's address first a leave you with another look at last night's celebrations from around the world. the study was. wrong. will now i am not like him. then. gone are. the. can.

program turning her did as we took the audition process from n.y.u. and we adopted it to a jazz ensemble and so there are sixteen different states represented with twenty two wonderful young musicians that have come together through an audition process that includes musicianship and it is to represent the best of the united states and jazz around the country. music is very important for young people not just because of the music look for what it means and humanity on it brings out the best in us they're able to use notes and sounds silences to express themselves to express the height of their emotion the depth of their emotion and it also helps them understand that a certain level of discipline that other ways of learning discipline may not be

change direction on its promise of denuclearization if the united states continues its sanctions in his televised speech kim jong un said he remained committed to working towards lasting peace on the korean peninsula stronger cooperation between north and south korea and called on the south to hold its joint military exercises with the u.s. chairman kim also warned the u.s. not to test his country's patients not operable and didn't build as. i am always ready to sit down again with the u.s. president at any time and we'll make efforts to produce an outcome that the international community would welcome it. would be mean however if the u.s. miscalculates our people's patience forces something upon us and pursue sanctions and pressure without keeping a promise it made to the world we have no option but to explore a new path in order to protect our sovereignty in achieve peace on the korean

peninsula which is let's get more on this from roy scars from the josh smith who joins us from the south korean capital seoul out welcome sir day w. just what is this new path likely to look like. well of course many who heard that fear that it could mean the worst possibly a return to some of the tests and launches that we saw on twenty seven pm in the stress of war from both pyongyang and washington but many others given the emphasis to kim jong un has placed on economic development more growth for his country see it as likely that. north korean leader kim jong un is basically setting the stage to blame washington for any failure of the ration the new filler to sation cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or china or even south korea and potentially bring them onboard as

a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june well while we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and germany several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit. that it has been joining us said john. now it's are some of the other stories making news around the world attend the baby has been found alive thirty five hours

after an explosion leveled a russian apartment complex rescuers found the boy in freezing temperatures after hearing his cries of horses believe it ghastly calls the blast at least seven people were killed. police in britain are treating a stabbing attack in the city of manchester as a terrorism incident three people including a police officer was seriously injured on new year's eve of the city's central victoria train station one man has been arrested. at least eight people have been injured after a mine drove a van into a crowd of people celebrating new year's eve in tokyo say the suspect then assaulted a ninth person on the streets twenty one year old has been arrested. meanwhile police in germany say they suspect a car attack shortly after midnight on new year's day was motivated by is that a phobia the suspect a fifty year old man drove his car into a group of pedestrians in the western german city of basra four people were injured

and police say afghan and syrian nationals were among the victims police also say the man made xenophobic remarks when he was taken into custody. voice of calm a kid and can tell us well welcome to talk us through what happened well there were three separate incidents in fact the first one on the western edge of bookshop which is a city of about one hundred fifteen thousand in which people saw him apparently and just jumped out of the way but the second incident in the middle of town in a more populated area was where he slammed his car into a group of people as you said syrian f. and afghan nationals amongst them injuring at least four and one of them apparently seriously by way of the german media reports and then he left town and went apparently toward his hometown of essen and tried to swerve into a bus stop but apparently again missing the people who were waiting for a bus at that time what is being said about a motive and indeed about the suspect well as you said xenophobic remarks

afterwards. that i think it is is the basis for what police say is a racially motivated attack as far as they're concerned he made these anti foreigner comments they say again he was from essen but they do not say whether he was in fact german now german media is saying that he was not apparently known to police but they suspect that he was police according to bill's newspaper that police are saying that he was far right leaning and that source also says one of the injured only one of the injured was seriously injured this is not the first time foreign nationals have been targeted by attacks in germany well what immediately comes to mind is chemist's in the earlier this year in which foreign nationals were were attacked in a mob style by. alleged far right activists income that's but it's not certain again here whether that was the scenario the far far right is being or the police are being far scrutinized that is much more for sort of the missing the boat

on the far far right and not understanding that they are becoming much more vocal perhaps physical in nature in many ways i should remind our viewers that. the police will say that munster also was the focus of a of a car attack a motorized vehicle attack earlier in april when four people died and of course you remember in christmas of two thousand and sixteen when a christmas market in berlin was was attacked and twelve people died. thank you. nasa has rung in the new year with a fly past of the most distant object ever explored the new horizon spacecraft traveled about a billion miles past pluto to capture images of a body that scientists hope will provide answers about the origins of other planets pictures are expected to reach us here on earth in the next few hours. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge

about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic fly by almost six and a half billion kilometers from a. but we've never been anything not only so far from the sun but that's so well preserved in this ultimate freeze of the your absolute zero so this is the time capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have a series of science objectives one of the prime. of. the whatever craters that might have on it for free with whatever fractures other topography anything that will give us clues as to how it how it surfaces form. the new

horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen if past the door of planets and found it to be larger than thought it kept going another billion and a half kilometers deep into the quite a belt to reach ultimate tooley this stage of its mission is the most difficult we're farther from the earth and so the communications times are much longer we're farther from the sun and so the lighting levels are lower all of these things add up to a much tougher and much more challenging flyby. new horizons will continue on into the further reaches of space and could yield even more discoveries for years to come. the southern italian city here from a terra struggles for decades with extreme poverty and under development the man. it's a period of shame now miss harris fortunes are changing as it becomes one of two european capitals of culture

a twenty nine tape and it's hoping to attract thousands of messages. much of material is built in and around caves where people lived without electricity or running water until the mid twentieth century mattera was long considered an eyesore but now the unique way it fits into its environment has made it famous. but terror of us perhaps chosen as a captive culture because it's such an example of native practice this city wasn't built in one architectural style but it developed from day to day in real life. part of the capital of culture celebrations is a dance performance called the atlas of emotions it explores aspects of how the residents of mattera live choreographer says it shows how unity locally might serve as an example for europe. especially now that things are somehow falling apart i have the sense that it's a unifying project. we connect to the shoe make it to the bacon and so on everyone
