the southern coast of the state of what a shock but it was predicted to doubting on that high wind speeds and danger the sea conditions for six hours those six saws are now over and the storm the cyclist's is has been downgraded since the morning now of course the greetings of cycles depend on when speeds and from extremely severe it has already come down to severe the storm is in the cycle it is moving in and knocks northeastern direction so from the state the southern part of the state of florida show it's moving towards the state to west bengal where it is expected to reach to morrow morning and then for proceed on to bangladesh however as it keeps traveling it will keep weakening but authorities are putting out warning saying that people should not become complacent just because the storm is weakening because winds are still expected to be above one hundred kilometers an hour and there has been damage so just walk us through what that has been so far. but

it. and you can learn more about world's press freedom day on our website that's a t w dot com now to a breakthrough for the fight against illegal online activity german investigators have shut down the world's second largest criminal trading platform and arrested three german men suspected of running it from drugs to forged documents malware and private data police say that some five thousand four hundred registered sellers used to use this platform called wall street market to offer a cornucopia of contraband and they earned some forty million euros doing so one million of that allegedly went into the pockets of three of the suspects the platform did differentiate itself from other dark net sites in one respect it offered neither weapons nor child pornography. we're joined now by did a dark net expert mathias fawn high and so you have actually followed today's press

conference closely how will the shutdown impact the international illegal activity on the docket. well actually i don't see i don't think it will affected very much most illegal activity like the ones you just mentioned who just migrate to other thoughts before talking to you i checked. with a special site which offers a darshan at market comparison and even after wall street market was taken down it still listed dozen other major illegal illegal trading sites and that's why. we could already see that after the very first major illegal online trading site was taken down in twenty four twenty thirteen that was . a lot of those platforms have come up and have been taken down and. chances to make

a profit are just so huge that i think they will keep appearing and that's why the dutch officer at today's press conference he said the main aim of this kind of police work is basically to just discourage criminals to. make them not trust the darknet anymore as a safe haven where they can conduct business out of scope out of reach of law enforcement you mentioned that you know even when a site like this is shut down that there are others that spring up and sort of fill that void how difficult is it right now for the authorities and intelligence services really to track criminal activity on the dark back. soup of difficult nature illegal trading on the dark not transnational and so law enforcement has to be international as well and for instance wall street markets as well spread over

twenty four different countries on several continents creating a very complex technical infrastructure so long for some to cope with a lot of technical questions where they have to get expertise and so they don't necessarily have you know they need they need i teach specialists and they have to cooperate and i think that's what today's press conference. german federal police made a point to show up there with police officers from the u.s. police officers from the netherlands with officers from europol as well just to to show that. international cooperation is. you know gaining traction wus mathias phone hine thank you you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program the vegan burger start up that has made

the street of the revolution and dispose here is a symbol for the confrontations between the security forces and the demonstrators. the first riots in khartoum took place in this part of town where about five thousand people live. kids used to play soccer on this field. now it's known as the place where a bloody fights between locals and security forces took place these clashes led to residents being wounded and arrested. more yet who is twenty five years old was one of those arrested. he has a certificate in business administration and works as a salesman. the hard life as he puts it drove him to take place in the protests until he was imprisoned for three weeks he was released right after the hour but share regime was toppled. and then with that a lot of people

a must for planning the protests in this district building the barricades and digging the trenches through. here in the elbow to the district not only the men but also the women young and old played a central role in the revolution. whether they took place in the protests themselves or gave moral support and aid to the demonstrators but it wasn't easy. for you to be inventive in iran from house to house to protect my granddaughter from the tear gas and bombs. i suffered with her. and it allowed us to do that about so how do you help or i kept taking her to places where there was no tear gas . at the time not a you know was three days old now she's all right she was born at the beginning of

the company warning that it may never achieve profitability beyond meat is backed by a number of celebrities including the actor leonardo dicaprio and microsoft founder bill gates. we're joined now by a lot of concerns from date of you business we can sink our teeth into this now want to i mean this is. the good news is that a fad is that a real business is a little bit of both i mean certainly it's been a big trend now for for several years i mean you will have noticed living in germany away being in europe certainly that every supermarket every discount or you have huge shelves now huge display of vegetarian and vegan food including vegan meat and that's growing i actually tried to find some real hard facts and figures for you here and i found an article in forbes magazine looking at trends in the united states then it found that plant based dairy alternatives are expected to represent forty percent of dairy products by twenty twenty and that is up twenty

five percent from twenty sixteen so this certainly a boost to they have even she says taken off him oddly which of course means of cow milk is dropping so dairy produces traditional dairy produces a can meat industry feeling the pinch and there is a business opportunity you know about mcdonald's has just been rolling out a vegan burgers also here in germany i haven't tried it yet i will though and again the supermarkets are expanding their put folio investors i mean we had just fantastic i.p.o. well they must see money they smell money then see business opportunity as they would've gone for the share and you're actually if you can yourself we know. make a dollar. of this i mean do you like it is this something that you find appetising and you know why did you make the decision to begin with well i mean there are so many possibilities i mean for a lot of people it's oh of course it's ethical reasons you know i personally don't like the idea of having to kill an animal to eat it and i live in a time and age where i can afford the luxury not having to do it this the health

aspect of it and the environment take a four ounce beef bagga if you compare that to vegan the vegan burger produces about ninety percent less greenhouse gas emissions of the carbon footprint is much lower that is not interesting and a lot of traditional meat producers like tyson foods which is the top u.s. meat producer they can sort of well if you can't beat them join them and they actually increased their investment even beyond meat and i'm sure that since last night since the i.p.o. they don't regret that food for thought so to speak wanted to thank you. some football news now and the europa league semifinals in england arsenal defeated valencia of spain three one and in germany frame for and scored early against a visiting chelsea look at your bitch headed in for frankfurt in the twenty third minute mark but there was little time for him and his team mates to celebrate that
