the antiquities authority has to inspect the ground and here we discovered an 8 century farm and unearthed a mosque that was pointing to mecca. this rectangular open topped mosque with a round friend was most likely used by farmers mosques dating back to this time have so far only been found in largest cities ditto if the vehicle has been an archaeologist in the region for 25 years he's excited about the find but wants to wait for the samples. to so i think we need to assess the mosques age what we do know is we are dealing with an early structure located in a village it's that's the astounding thing comes. the big a says we can expect many more such discoveries in the desert thanks to improved excavation techniques the mosque in a hut could be just the beginning. it's been 50 here is so one of the defining events of the 20th century in 1969 man

a 1st set foot on the moon historic landing was watched on television by hundreds of millions of people around the world it's a spectacle that many who saw it have never forgotten let's now relive some of those iconic moments. back right. or am. i was in my grandmother's house all watching t.v. what she looked like something absolutely unknown and something impossible.

i was with my aunt who was born in 18 in 99. and she was sitting there with me watching a man land on the moon itself pretty amazing they didn't even have automobiles when she was 4. beautiful like really. so she too each state was a pity it wasn't just russians but space travel was developing fast and it was clear to us that many countries would send their astronauts into space and you were in school. right. but. of course it was a colossal event. i don't think of ever again such

a wake in front of the television at 3 am waiting for something to happen and seem to exist. and that's the latest from daily news stay tuned for our documentary film angle americal eternal chats are coming up next after a short break in the meantime you can always get the latest news and information that's on our website just go to details or you dot com american evan steam from me and the entire team thanks for watching.

it's time to take one step further. and face the. time to search to. find the truth. to overcome. please contact the world it's time for. coming up ahead. f c has guided not only germany but europe through the headlines and cross currents of the changing world we're welcome and we are the 4th term chancellor of germany for an excellent c. on the law. a standing ovation and an

honorary doctorate for the woman who has led germany for nearly 14 years and appearance that had been announced by harvard university with a glossy promotional. trailer. a video with all the trappings of a hollywood blockbuster yet just a few months earlier the chancellor had announced she would not seek reelection views of the on this will be my last as chancellor of the federal republic of germany. the announcement heralded the end of an era even as other world leaders came and went until america remained a central figure for 13 years she had served as

a mediator and crisis manager on the world stage. how could such a seemingly unassuming woman succeed in remaining in office for so many years. can be very useful at times because it takes a while to become clear that big things lie ahead. she thought she has a modest unpretentious demeanor and she has 0 interest in material things the. chancellor and. the head of the party she's remained completely free of scandal. she's certainly been able to take advantage of the fact that germany places a very high value on stability. in a way i think america deserves some of the blame for the trouble in europe right a lot of people. believe that bracks it might not have happened i would say she has

no strategy she has no strategic goal where she wants to take society and that's her true flaw it's discovered stay with your money and keep the sky and there's no red thread of conviction for there is is a pragmatic civic power. 2005 the polls had just closed in what appeared a dead heat but the incumbent chancellor seemed to short of victory. do you seriously believe that my party will agree to an offer of talks under these circumstances after all is said she wants to be chancellor carried away.

by november 22nd the winner of the showdown was clear the newly elected. chancellor at 51 she was the youngest ever to hold that position. votes in favor 97. her predecessor was not the only one who had underestimated her. even. now become germany's 1st democratically elected female head of government that sends a powerful message to many women and no doubt to some men as well. for us in germany to get used to the idea that was doing the job. she had she never made a song and dance about coming from the former east germany or being

a woman that would have done nothing for her. being a woman is not a political catch a great so i can't think of anything about that you could explain by saying it's because she's a woman. they're also men who focus on. careful in their deliberations. if anything it would have to be her distain for attention a concept of power also her tendency to avoid showy displays of power fished in which she always saw her as absurd. furnish a fish for. until america was raised in the former communist east germany she spent a quiet untroubled childhood on the outskirts of the town of templin. has been i grew up in the countryside that was one of the things that shaped me. up in a clergyman's household and had tyrants i could discuss anything with. i was an

upbringing with a lot of intellectual stimulation more than you'd normally see in a small town in east germany and. enough we were only there are you know she was born until a customer in hamburg west germany in 1954 a few weeks before her father except that a post as pastor in the east. if. i was an ordinary child i might have had the odd tantrum or 2 but i wasn't particularly stubborn or rebellious the baelish weisz least. it was a childhood between 2 worlds raised as a christian under a communist regime. like the 1980 s. i'm going to america had a doctorate in physics and was working at the academy of sciences in east berlin her 1st marriage ended in divorce but she kept her former husband's last name marco

. what was looking like a quiet life as a research scientist was interrupted on november 9th 1989. the wall dividing east from west germany fell. down after she said to me. mutha i've never been much of a civic activist so joining an activist movement isn't my thing she said she'd also considered the social democrats and january 990 they still look like they might do really well here but then she thought that make it on their own we need something new that was her pragmatic mind speaking and then came the east german democratic movement the democratic awakening which included pastor ryan eprom and she said it's chaos there they need me. soon thereafter in spring 1900 until america was appointed deputy spokesperson for

the 1st and only democratically elected east german government that was the turning point she joined the christian democrats the c.d.u. and began a rapid and grueling rise up the political ladder. young a woman and from the east a fresh face for chancellor helmut west and male dominated city you that's called protege merkel was appointed minister for women and youth in the 1st cabinet of the reunify germany in november 1909 a year after losing the chancellorship cole was still the honorary chair and gruelling patriarch of the christian democrats but then came a scandal. party the c.d.u. had run an illicit slush fund involving donor contributions it was the biggest scandal in post-war german politics. until american progress and made a move that would rock the already shaken old guard. in a prominent daily she wrote an article proclaiming the end of the coal era. a few

months later merkel was party chairwoman. this was the moment she would later with you know when she 1st believe she could become chancellor. the men thought let's make this mother figure party leader and send her packing after a year. most to the fire that proved to be a huge miscalculation because she sent them packing. in 2005 i'm going to medical and her party had a narrow win her 1st government was a coalition of her christian democrats there were very insistent party the c.s.u. and the deposed social democrats it made little headway at 1st and was slow to implement reforms in her 1st 2 years america was a cautious leader critics said she was just muddling through. i'm somebody who tends to decide on the late. i'm often accused of being slow to

get out of the starting block slow to take action of letting things drift. but for me it's always important to work through all the possible options as to what should be done and not just as a theoretical exercise or a thought experiment i try to live with them. through turns to hesitate. and wait for majority opinion to emerge before taking a stand but sometimes she gets a job to makes a decision from one day to the next and it's us about math. that goes 1st major challenges chances are came during her 3rd year in office the global financial crisis required intensive management major banks were in danger of collapse and the merkel government provided billions of euros to save them. the

chancellor assured the public that their deposits were safe. while her diplomatic touch and talent for compromise were often interpreted at home as a weakness abroad they aren't her respect and praise but the 2007. on germany's baltic coast miracle succeeded with a mix of principle and persuasion in getting the assembled leaders to agree on a climate change strategy. she even brought on board u.s. president george w. bush not the most environmentally aware of contemporary statesman. it's a very important quality to be able to engage with your counterparts and to signal to them i take you seriously i'm listening and i want to hear what you have to say . that's what part. of this.

you underestimate her you've already launched she is always very very well prepared and she knows all the details. so you have to really know the material you want to have a serious discussion with her. the 2009 elections saw the c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc post their 2nd worst showing in 60 years but they still managed to secure a coalition with their preferred partners the center right free democrats. although the economy was struggling the new government cut taxes and took on record new debt thank. you but the dream turned sour as the coalition became beset with internal squabbles. meaningful policymaking proved elusive important debates were overshadowed by rivalries within the coalition. for the chancellor it was an often frustrating experience.

in late 2010 merkel's government decided to extend the lifespan of germany's nuclear power plants. just. months later it made a dramatic u. turn. and then also in fukushima happened the nuclear disaster in japan and within a week or 2 american had changed course on that and decided no we're going to get out of nuclear power that upset a lot of people in our conservative party that upset a lot of people in german industry they're afraid of rising energy costs but she did it was an emotional sort of reaction to the. nuclear disaster in fukushima. not just but i realize straightaway that this would also affect us all and then i think he decided that we would need at the very least a social consensus when daunting the use of nuclear energy is it off the can

convince someone with a cannon it is just as i believe it was a kind of overnight decision. she decided to seize the opportunity and also to send a message to society and he has a shaft and her name would be associated with the decision to end nuclear power and she would end up in the history books she spoke. with in germany the fukushima disaster put an end to a discussion that had dragged on for years the longstanding energy policy debate seemingly vanished overnight. merkel's government decided to decommission nuclear plants by 2022 and to rapidly scale up the use of renewable energy. during merkel 2nd term the global financial and economic crisis remained a pivotal issue and developed into a euro crisis. southern euro zone states were in dire straits while greece appeared

headed for bankruptcy. the german chancellor repeatedly insisted that greece would only receive a bailout if the country agreed to reduce public spending and institute austerity reforms. that we didn't miss depressed. dense ladies and gentlemen thoughts must be focused not on rushing in to help prematurely us. but on ensuring that the entire house is put in order. that stands faced little opposition within her own ranks unlike in greece as athens slashed public sector wages and pensions and fired civil servants protesters in greece singled out one person to blame until america is this she doesn't care a whole what kind of image is being drawn what she cares about is political consistency to shrink in size. this. in

may 2013 towards the end of merkel 2nd term the n.s.a. spying scandal broke. details emerged of a widespread internet and telephone surveillance program run by washington for many response was too little too late. to stop him ever since we started to talk about the n.s.a. i have repeatedly told the american president that we don't spy on africans it's gone. medicals comments were intended to show resolve but instead revealed impotence. it was only after learning that the n.s.a. had also tune into her own cell phone that an indignant chancellor seemed to mean business the guns of germany's entire government is cowardly and submissive so they don't dare stand up to the us. speaking as a private citizen i would say she was too restrained especially considering she had 1st hand experience of living under a dictatorship. but met approval

ratings were barely dented by the n.s.a. scandal voters trusted her it seemed in part because she avoided conflict one day lee called her the perfect chancellor for citizens who don't like trouble and don't want to be bothered by politics. with. but when it came to her own political party merkel proved willing to turn her back on traditional positions. for some conservative stalwarts her decisions to phase out nuclear power and to military conscription and support a national minimum wage were hard to stomach. this instance is an entirely different from that of helmut kohl or conrad i don't know. it's hard to believe it's the. but you have to remember she didn't

make those changes on. the c.d.u. in line with reality. was this her own accomplishment or just a reflection of the changing times by both sides and that side times it. was setting a different agenda from that of his predecessors. over the years. in keeping her private life out of the public gaze she never felt the urge to play to the cameras but her sober down to earth style contributed significantly to her popularity. people see 3 things in her that they like things that don't involve her strategy or her goals. she has a modest unpretentious demeanor. 0 interest in material things that's both unusual and appealing.

the 2013 general election represented a landslide victory for the christian democrats although it did mean returning to a coalition with the s.p.d. . 3rd term in office would see the economy continue its recovery. on other fronts however the chancellor had major crises to contend with. early 2014 dramatic scenes in ukraine european protests on my don square in the capital kiev led to the ousting of president viktor yushchenko fitch. russia proceeded to annex the crimean peninsula in eastern ukraine pro russian rebels and separatists rose up against the government with the support of moscow. chancellor issued a sharp protest against that intervention and endorsed economic sanctions against

russia. together with french president francois hollande she embarked on a difficult mission in the capital of bella ruth minsk. u.s. president barack obama left to 2 european leaders to tackle the crisis with russia and try to establish dialogue between the warring parties. levi's. if you compare world politics to a game of chess she knows which pieces to move and when. she feels there's no point in saying that's not only chess piece i want nothing to do with it. she knows that won't move the chess came forward at times like that she does what needs to be done . over the years she has become a highly respected figure of authority on the international stage. perhaps that's because of her political style tends to avoid issuing hastie if unions about rights and wrongs was sufficient even at the international level she prefers to sway up

all the options and reflect on them this is a vacant. moment. shock when she does make a decision it's a sustainable one and they've done and tried to get tough and it tweaked the. medical help to bring the warring sides to the negotiating table the result was a ceasefire albeit a fragile one. in early 2015 the greek crisis returned to the spotlight the newly elected government rejected further austerity measures the coalition of the left wing to reach the party and right wing nationalists announced its intention to renegotiate all the deals their predecessors had made with international creditors greece seemed on the brink of exiting the euro zone. after protected negotiations the euro group finance ministers agreed to a compromise a package with strings attached. merkel and her finance minister

a vote of conscience would look persuaded greece to abandon its initial objections and agree to further reforms greece's potential departure from the euro the dreaded grex it at once again been averted. she had. gunstock she already did her case very vigorously and i think that points to an essential feature of angela merkel's approach to politics. she sticks to her guns and expects others to make the commitments they've made. the biggest mistake. they are going to work on shortland made use in their dealings with greece because they broke with the principle of solidarity commission greece miracle was a real villain by a lot of people but she had the courage to keep going to greece and talking to people and she tried to explain the situation in greece and the end of the day greece was able to stay in the euro zone.

shortly after the prospect of a greek euro exit appeared resolved another crisis emerged in summer 2015 that overshadowed all others hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees were passing through turkey and greece heading for central and western europe and especially germany. most were fleeing the brutal war in syria. in the face of a humanitarian disaster in the making. took a very clear stand. i like germany as a strong country. as we deal with these issues has to be we have achieved so much we can do it if we encounter obstacles we'll overcome them. germany was to welcome refugees with open arms and initially at least the mood in the country was a positive one. the world caught a glimpse of

a new unfamiliar germany and chancellor within weeks her international image was transformed from hardline austerity advocate to the chancellor of welcome there was even talk of her winning the nobel peace prize. there's something i think america is going to be remembered about for a long long time around the world the reputation of germany went through the roof after that it was like especially in those states with all my god they let in a 1000000 refugees in 2015 you got to be kidding me. but that example didn't go down so well in southeastern europe where refugees weren't so welcome hungry sooner wrecked a border fence while various balkan states fast tracked the new arrival straight through to austria and germany. so much for the solidarity between european nations the brief summer of exuberant welcome came to a sudden end. and meanwhile found herself accused of positively inviting

refugees to come. from. there were 2 groups 2 responses those who drew inspiration and encouragement who felt called upon to remain active in the refugee situation to open their doors to refugees. they took a kind of pride in what the chancellor had said heard it as a mark of praise. and then there was the other side which didn't hear reassurance and encouragement but who instead responded with fear. but in this forced off going . that. soon a mood of fear and hostility had erupted in germany as well extremists set fire to refugee hostels and attacked german police officers and journalist the anti immigrant anti muslim piggie the movement enjoyed a resurgence of support especially in the eastern state of saxony where thousands took to the streets. criticism of merkel's refugee policy mounted within her own ranks once again the chancellor's position was divorced from that of her party.

merkel's rival in the governing coalition hostas a hope for issued a public reprimand at the c.s.u. party conference he forced merkel to stand on stage for 13 minutes while he gave her a dressing down. perhaps they were laughing themselves silly that they take in this very high podium and say who is the big guy on it next to it. as though they're in school and the teacher said you go stand in the corner and be quiet because then came the tirade that arrayed against merkel and her policies she just had to stand. and. that was a travesty whatever their opinion of angle americal many people felt that this kind of treatment did real harm to our political culture. and put. us just.

cologne on new year's eve 2015 the celebrations near the cathedral became the scene of mass assaults women were sexually harassed groped robbed some were raped the victims described their attackers as men of arabic or north african descent far right populist sees the movement blaming merkel's refugee policy. at their side was the far right party which had initially formed in opposition to the euro and the e.u. bailouts but by then it had become anti immigrant and it joined the. the . country. as i was. finishing school the church that angle america in some way caused or promoted the influx of refugees is absurd for both the. research

a long time we ignored the thousands of people arriving on lampedusa it was. the thousands droning in the mediterranean. thousands living under terrible conditions in cali waiting to somehow make it to britain. mit in the what we've seen in recent years has been the systematic demonization of the policy that's been given merkel's name. with her statement we can do it i'm going to medical had however inadvertently taken a risk now she was left isolated on the political stage her popularity at home declined . after years of going from strength to strength the chancellor was suddenly floundering. by then thousands of refugees were crossing the

border every day. the german federal states and municipalities were struggling to cope. under intense pressure until americal set out on a thankless mission to negotiate a deal with turkey that would stem the arrival of refugees. going to merrill is a pragmatist and in that situation she realized things couldn't continue as they were and that's what was behind her decision to stand this is. so germany is strong and yet in that situation germany suddenly looked weak on so now what. she went to out on and indirectly provided you miss about who are to news election campaign i was am and said they will look the other way while he was bombs the kurdish people fears and that we remain silent about his indirect or direct support for the so-called islamic state all to make sure he keeps the refugees away a bitter defeat. within just months the open doors had shut.

for the 2nd time the chancellor had done a u. turn once again she stood alone between 2 fronts now criticism hailed down from the left and applause came from the right the number of refugees arriving in germany plummeted as quickly as it had risen. the next crisis was brewing britain was in the grips of a raging debate. for months politicians had been whipping up n.t.e.u. sentiment. like the e.u. is making a mess of the everything 1st we have the euro zone then we have the common asylum policy compelled it hugely by angela merkel i what we've seen huge streams of people coming into europe over the course of the last year you know security checks anybody every week we send a $150000000.00 plus money that's placed. that's enough to build.

these numbers were a fiction put forth by a referendum campaign to leave the european union to remain or to leave in the end a slim majority of british voters decided in favor of bracks it. thank you very much very. you know history. in the record. it was a man with a wandering trick gretz we must today recognise. the decision of the majority of the british people i think she's deeply hurt by britain leaving the european union i think secretly should probably hopes they'll be a 2nd referendum someday and maybe that will be overturned and forced and if the o.p.'s on your own. it's going to imagine that when uncle america was still living behind the iron curtain when germany was still divided on the european union was something very compelling for her now to give us i mustn't. and scenes of it's

so picked the freedom that europe gave the west and prevailed in the west of our country was something she could only dream of and investigation titles like this could be at an all time quantum but it's something that historians will always be looking at the 2015 flood of refugees coming in from syria to germany and then the brics a vote half year or so later so are those 2 things connected probably they are. across the atlantic the united states was also at a turning point barack obama made a final trip abroad as president. on social media he paid tribute to the chancellor as a close ally. across the board she's always been somebody i can trust and somebody who i think deeply believes in. the role that germany can play and that all wealthy nations can play and not only making our

countries better but also making the world better their relationship at the beginning of their 8 years together wasn't really that close it was a bit frosty but it evolved and i think it became a really close close friendship there's pictures in the german newspapers of them looking into it like they're the best friends for life and i think medical and obama appreciated and respected each other and i think obama relied on america for a lot of things. a last good luck from obama and a farewell that left a visible dent in the chancellor's normal composure. that with barack obama's departure she was losing one of her most important international allies. the new occupant of the white house had other priorities we are going to make america great again we will make america great again we

wrote a. great. word soon became deeds it became clear that the relationship between the u.s. and germany was shifting the. time the times in which we could fully rely on office and not she gone by. the end of the universe is in a certain sense important and meaningful to her as a sign and that must make it all the more painful that relations have now become so strained in the wake of this america 1st policy that this cause us america focused . on him fresh and well which doesn't accord with your own understanding of how politics should operate at all under. the shavers politics as the antithesis of seeking to gain advantage at the expense of others always seeks to find that balance. she's resisted trump's efforts to split europe trump keeps trying to get marigold to do deals and stealing things and tries to get medical to convince the

rest of the europe paean union to do these deals that are favorable to trump but she refuses she pushes that all of brussels so at least trump americal do talk to each other and i think my sense is that trump understands how important miracle is . while that may be true it's not always apparent at their 1st joint press conference donald trump gave on kill americans the cold shoulder. and the americans who were. going to america maintains an unflappable confidence in situations where her counterpart perhaps a man who is critical of her is attempting to provoke her and i hope that what by sitting in situations like that she grit your teeth and maintains her poise and never appears awkward or ungracious. but her response makes it clear that her counterpart has behaved in a way that wasn't right. not that that's one of the positive traits about america

that she stays relaxed she's willing to talk to anybody she doesn't have this male macho persona about her she's a consummate deal maker and she does it without without an ego she doesn't let or ego get in the way she's just trying to get results. and frappes the money when ascended to the presidency with ambitions to be remembered as a staunch defender of a new europe. in austria 31 year old sebastien cortes became chancellor another in a new wave of youthful politicians that contrast with the chancellor state leadership style. july 2017 at the g 20 summit until america once again sought to win the support of world. leaders for existing agreements on free trade and climate protection in vain within just a few weeks donald trump announced that the us was withdrawing from the paris climate accord abandoning global trade deals and imposing tariffs. those efforts at

international cooperation were increasingly meeting closed doors. began to seek new partners for her policies. within 2 and a half years she paid visits to 12 african nations some more than once. by strengthening international cooperation and establishing new conditions for development aid the chancellor aims to stem the conditions that lead africans to attempt crossing to europe. africa has now become a centerpiece of until america's foreign policy and development aid has become linked to immigration policy. given your words together we want to send a clear message today that is good and productive neighborly relations between africa and europe are important to us. back at home a fresh crisis was brewing the 2017 general elections brought merkel's coalition in its worst ever showing her social democratic partners lost the most votes in their

view because the centrist coalition eroded their own base of support. merkel is a genius when it comes to weakening other parties she's taken away a lot of the platforms of the s.p.d. and made them her own the cd was always against the minimum wage poof there's a minimum wage now america gets credit for it. gay marriage is something the city was always opposed in america voted against it but she actually made it possible to have gay marriages in germany because she let the deputies in parliament vote the way they wanted to not to unleash. of course by opening her party to the center and her policy reforms within her own party she was taking a risk i. want and that's the anger of the right wing of her own party. in that sense she does bear some responsibility for the rise of the f.t. and for the fact that the f.t. has been able to garner such strong support on the right wing of her own party.

for the 1st time to the far right entered the german parliament merkel sought to form a new coalition government with the green party and pro-business free democrats after weeks of negotiations the f.d.p. withdrew. it's just it's better not to govern than to govern and it correctly. americans surely regretted that as did many germans and one was a forced and you have to figure that many people are growing rather weary with this lengthy term in office not to mention always with the same political partner. it's not as appealing as being able to chart a fresh course with someone else. after a vigorous intervention by the german president and an s.p.d. party member a vote the social democrats agree to enter into another grand coalition more than 5 months had passed since the election the longest that the federal republic of germany has ever gone without

a government. the months of uncertainty extracted their price in the $28.00 teams state elections the parties america's coalitions saw their combined vote dropped by more than 20 percent the left and right gained the most particularly the far right f.t. a trend that solidified in the 2900 european parliament election. their full bow to the reality that her centrist course could no longer command a majority she announced her plans to withdraw from politics. since 1st at the next cd you party conference in hamburg in december i will not stand for election as party leader. second this 4th term in office will be my last as chancellor of the federal republic of germany. in the 2021 federal elections i will not seek another term as chancellor for the christian democrats i think. merkel has been looking for the right moment to lead for a long long time it was one little small incident but she's

a big soccer fan and after the world cup when the captain phillips quit she was the 1st to congratulate him on that and i thought wow she must admire him for picking the right moment because. that's something i think that's been the back of her mind i think she saw helmut kohl as somebody who stayed a little bit to law. i'm good america's political philosophy had always been one of soft power during the election for her successor as party leader she remained a potent force in the background. and it conveyed comp and power medical's favored candidate became head of the c.d.u. . i think in general germany has become a very prosperous successful country under america she's done a good job steering the ship and people are generally pretty happy with merkel and i'm actually had faith in my beat ups and i'm going to go has always been willing to enter into open sided situations was in situations without an obvious outcome to

negotiations that was one of her key strengths it was down. over many years the chancellor from the former east germany was able to make her mark on politics often overcoming resistance from within her own party or from international partners her final 2 years on the political stage now lie ahead which will surely bring fresh challenges the last chapter of under america's legacy is yet to be written. from. ringback our show to

actor was elected on promises of tackling corruption and shaking of ukraine's political system but so far progress has been slow. connelly is in kiev and he joins us now for more so nick president selenski actually himself brought forward the timing of these elections just how confident is he that voters will hand his party more power. good morning mary when it seems if the polls it's believed that this gamble is paying off the latest polls gave his newly founded policy 7 to the people over 45 percent of popular support which if it turns out to be true would be more than any other you can present had picked up before him it looks like he'll be just short of an absolute majority which will allow his party to put legislation through ukraine's parliament the right on its own but it really seems like that strategy of really. working on his

driving home his advantage while the honeymoon vote is that's been going on for the last few months now still in place that really is paying off and he looks set to win big well now own rise to power came of course off the back of him starring in a t.v. show and now apparently one of the candidates in this election is a musician a rock star is ukraine going for a new type of politician. i think marrion of the difference is a very big desire hunger for new faces will be ones that people can trust and know . you're not totally people who have come out of obscurity so that's why this of show business base seems to be one that's working so effectively for now and if this let's keep it also for the rock musician you mentioned there we saw met him earlier in the week and he told me an interesting thing he said if you create

a develop differently if ukraine hadn't fallen behind its neighbors in the last 20 years he thought it would probably be better if politicians did politics and musicians stuck to music but given that they had failed really to bring this country forward he felt he had no other choice but to get involved and not only. express his preferences but also set up his own party we joined him on the campaign trail let's have a. everything's going to be alright it's a hit that became a campaign slogan for such a good joke after 25 years on the stage in 10 albums ukraine's most famous rock singer is venturing out into a new political stage as leader of a new party called all its voice. in a crowded political scene is starting from scratch promising to end the oligarchs stranglehold of ukraine's economy and stand up to russia. since his rivals are scared and

playing. the old faces of ukrainian politics were not expecting us to be doing so well in the polls and now they're throwing all they've got into discrediting us and doing everything to stop us taking power away from them. like president selenski before him is profiting from a hunger for fresh faces in ukrainian politics faces but if the media interested previously public eye their back. politics is a part of that decides to take the plunge into politics says look you want to be prince biggest stars in the politics for 28 years we've been we've been waiting for politicians to do something to change this country never happened probably it will be better for musicians to sing and for politicians to do politics it's our turn i hope to do as many things as possible and i'll do my best and when i see that my

mission is accomplished i'm coming back very happily to be just musician. days for this term. between place and ending up with. the polls suggest you could still happen this election day draws closer just one thing seems clear many ukrainians are willing to vote for just about anyone but the politicians. all right nic so clearly a very popular musician but how likely is it that he will end up in government. well the latest poll puts him just over that 5 percent threshold with potentially the smallest party in ukraine's parliament and that potentially could be just enough in coalition with the selenski to give a majority in parliament so potentially there a coalition on the cards between the comedian turned politician and the rock star turn politician for now being very cautious and very god it. seems very open

to starting a new coalition government with him so we could see that happen very soon all right nick connelly in kiev we thank you for that. well algeria's footballers have returned home to a hero's welcome after their africa cup of nations triumph the players were greeted by in the warmest crowds on the streets of the capital algiers on saturday as they paraded through town on an open top bus proudly display the trophy to their fans algeria beat senegal by one goal to nail on the final in cairo on friday night to claim the cup of nations proud for just the 2nd time in the country's history. french venti bobino has won the stage at 14 of the 2 of holland's a gruelling trek to the top of the legendary 2000 metre high called it on my late

those iconic moments. back right. or. i was in my grandmother's house all watching t.v. and watching these looked like something absolutely unknown something impossible. that. i was it's my aunt who was born in 18 in 99. and she was sitting there with me watching

a man land on the moon so pretty amazing they didn't even have automobiles when she was 4. like really. to each state was a pity it wasn't just russians but space travel was developing fast and it was clear to us that many countries would send their astronauts into space when you were in school. right. but. of course it was a knesset live event. i don't think of ever again sats awake in front of the television at 3 am waiting for something to happen and see if this.

all right. and before we go a quick reminder of our top story. 2 major airlines have suspended flights to the egyptian capital cairo british airways and germany's looked on both sides of the security concerns but they gave no further reasons for their decision. here up to date now on t.w. news stay tuned for shift living in the digital age that's coming up next after a short break marian and steve and the entire newsroom team thanks for watching. the. robots are still in the development phase

analyzes it one culprit. it is the advertising industry i look for a curry recipe online and suddenly ads for indian cookbooks pop up everywhere big data is it a blessing or a curse our focus today on shift. i'm always online my smartphone is always connected wherever i go along the way i leave digital footprints and help create a pot of what's known as big data. researchers have analyzed close to a 1000000 apps from the google play store they found that 90 percent user data and many of these that send data to several companies that sounds unsettling but does big data have a really affect on my life well let me know if i need my umbrella tomorrow. this vaguer rocket has a new kind of weather satellite on board at an altitude of 320 kilometers

will collect data that will help meteorologists create better weather forecasts. for the 1st time a satellite will be able to measure wind speeds using laser range. it even works in locations that are normally inaccessible like over oceans is a perfect storm brewing out there. can help us predict the weather. insurance companies also use big data for instance to estimate the impact of natural disasters like flooding and car insurers set their rates according to the risk of theft where the policyholder lives so you might pay more or less for your policy depending on how many cars have been stolen in your neighborhood. big data can also make your sat nav more useful and precise in a las vegas pilot project an onboard computer to drivers how fast to drive to catch

molecular health checks these databases regularly on a daily basis and compares the results with those from the patient samples. after to get such results tumor cells molecular markers or analyze the process called sequencing doctors at the sheraton a send the results to molecular health. but your results molecular markers are compared with those of thousands upon thousands of other stored in the company's database. the database also contains information about therapies a report is produced to provides doctors with a recommended treatment tailored to the specific characteristics of the tumor cell . that's what this is what we're looking for it's the direction we hope things will go in the future we'd like patients to receive personalized treatment based on molecular changes we can identify during sequencing. the idea behind the project is revolutionary but using data from so many people as the basis for medical decisions

and possibly superseding diagnosis of the patients doctor is also country. is at the for in germany people are still quite cautious we're afraid to give others access to our data which is understandable as a researcher i'd like to manage my own data and know exactly what's happening to it . but i think we must do away with this idea of keeping it all to ourselves the amount of data is just too large for that. big data has already allowed berlin's charity hospital to identify individual therapies for some 30 cancer patients. treating illnesses with the help of big data that's real progress and it shows that ai and humans can work together for the benefit of mankind. another thing that. is makes human behavior more predictable that's especially interesting for companies who want to target us online with personalized advertising that can still be hit or

it understand it. but data security specialist cost a normal is more critical he believes that the global trade in data is a multi-billion dollar business from which only a few players profit. google alone earns over $100000000000.00 a year with online. and of course not $100000000000.00 has to be recovered somehow through the products that are being advertised so a single company earns hundreds or thousands of dollars a year from each internet user. then there are the data brokers who profit from collecting and analyzing this flood of data using special software we try to find out who's tracking user behavior the. triangles here represent the trackers the circles the web sites visited. even users who don't log in aren't surfing anonymously with every click the trackers network grows in this test there were

close to 20 trackers for every web site visited. big data analysis helps link that information and produce a digital profile of the user. and. a profile like this describes the person and their fears their needs and possibly their financial situation allowing for advertising to be tailored to meet their budget or to be described as better than even our best friends could want to conquer. so companies might know me better than my friends do even very sensitive data like that used by health apps is often passed on to data collectors without users knowledge the legal basis for this is sometimes highly questionable. massive amount of data is generated every day it comes from a variety of sources not just the internet. whether on facebook instagram or net flix every day we humans generate 2500000 terabytes of

data but not all of it on the net visit the doctor and the symptoms and diagnoses are stored in servers this data is often anonymous then passed on to market researchers when you found someone the call length location and contact details are scooped up and become part of big data. brokers encyclopedia defines big data as a monster so large change so fast or so very that it can't be processed with standard software. exactly how much data counts as big is hard to say as it's not stored to analyze centrally i see onus estimate that in the next 6 years the global data spirit will rise to 175 bytes per year one set of byte is equal to $1000000000.00 terabytes one trillion gigabytes one quadrillion megabytes in comparison a 3 minute m.p. tree track is around 3 megabytes in size so ones that are byte can store around 333

trillion songs processing such masses of data isn't easy there are 3 aspects to consider. hardware aspect what hardware can handle it. second there's the software that processes the data directly. and 3rd there's the algorithms which glean information and knowledge from this data . coming. hardware software algorithms it's a big business. big data is analyzed using software platforms called frameworks they divide data between several high performance servers where it can be processed simultaneously processing that data quickly is key that's where data artisans abroad and best start up comes in they analyze very large amounts of data very fast using an open source platform called apache flink they help create it processes

incoming data in real time and can simultaneously analyze data has already been stored stream processing is a big new thing so it's no surprise that chinese conglomerate alibaba snapped up dozens for an estimated 90000000 euros earlier this year that's great for the startup founders but is it good for society. when healing that poses a risk to the data could be compiled on unaligned in such a way that for instance human behavior becomes more predictable and transparent. a nun could end up limiting individual freedom if i had a science and i couldn't build honestly i'm pretty generous when it comes to my personal data if i look into a service and like it i'm willing to pay for it with my data but maybe the prize really is too high is trading your personal data for free apps all services

welcome to in good shape here's what's coming up solid versus liquid which kind of soap is better for your skin. g.b.h. d. why ritalin doesn't help some people with attention deficit disorder and in focus today can't do much makeup harm your skin now here's your host dr carsten laker chart. hello welcome to in good shape that you know that skin is our now just august and that it not only exits a protective barrier there that says a lot about our well being how to care for our skin and what's good for the skin and what's not this is what i'm going to talk about today with dr you have the ability.

when we're speaking off skin care less it's more. of course we all want to look good and make up can help many women don't leave the house without any makeup on but this can be stressful for our skin and sometimes our skin reacts with information. complection. mushers classy lips. some people will go to great lengths for their appearance. but overdoing it can have serious consequences 56 year old molly's a high bar is wary about using cosmetics on her face now she used to wear so much makeup that it gave her severe skin problems they're still slowly improving.

the monks and in the morning out have these dark red h.-e. blisters and they were painful for a long time i didn't know whether it was contagious or not i didn't know what it was not really for the most giving to stuff and if you wear makeup every day and then suddenly you're not allowed to it makes you feel like you're naked. and. money is not an isolated case dermatologist county about hurley has seen lots of patients with the same problem it's known as perry oral dermatitis or stewardess disease because it often affects women who wear a lot of makeup and appear out of dema to different damage titus as a result of using lots of different products the skin gets overtreated and reacts with small pus jools an inflammation that's where the redness comes from. the epidermis swirls because of the constant supply of moisture from cosmetics it creates the perfect environment for microorganisms to thrive they cause

inflammation and the skin can no longer regenerate but it's not only using too much that causes the problem some of the ingredients can also be harmful. thus the amount is the problem then you have lots of different substances mixed together and you're also getting too much of something that might be bad for you that's when the problem arises. because medics and history uses more than 10000 different substances many of them haven't been extensively researched lots of products contain what are known as paragons which cosmetic companies are allowed to use as a preservative even though they can interfere with the. hormone system. then there are other alarming substances that aren't added to the product but that form through chemical reactions during storage. so what should the consumer do. natural cosmetics can be a good alternative they don't contain paragons but they do sometimes contain

fragrances that can cause an allergic reaction. no cosmetic product is guaranteed to be harmless people who like to wear makeup and want to keep their skin healthy should always read the ingredients list or they can follow monday's as example. as it's not mentally 1st i'm more careful now i don't put it on every day as a matter of course just for special occasions but not every day. even with makeup less is more. time he was talked about she said of a toddler just and she's an expert for healthy skin and not only for healthy skin but for beautiful skin as well so it's just something like overprotecting the skin over caring to use too much creams ensures this is correct many patients that i see every day have problems due to too much of skin care the skin is able to protect

itself that means it creates its own lip it's like a body lotion created by the superficial layer of the skin the epidermis and we have an acidic protective man form p h 5 and this prevents viruses or. problematic bacteria are our fungus to thread and make us you know ever sure we have the microbiome which means that you have a population of lovely bacteria these are the dormant bacteria and they keep everything outside which we don't want to have in our skin and in our immune system many trains our immune systems on this. way we stay healthy and if we use too much of product preserving colorants a massive fire as part fumes we destroy this sensitive balance of the skin so i'm doing everything right it's just using water that's perfect our skin believes it lives still in the stone age so you are the perfect cavemen using too much of soap

and alcohol and all kinds of substances you're just have the pure treatment and that's the perfect way to do it ok and we're going to view a question from colorist from mexico and she asks you would like to know hoffman she should treat to face into body with most who has increased 1st of all she should stop using sauce and peter jensen. she should just use water to wash her face and the body and after 4 weeks she will get used to it and she will be back into into the natural balance producing her own limits and then she will see whether she at all needs a cream or body lotion and she should only treat these areas which are still dry after 4 weeks but if i would talk to the industry which producers of the skin care products they would have a totally different to opinion on this i would say well you can buy use with using our products well for sure they want to earn money and they want to promise you

will never die if you want to buy this product which helps you to stay on forever but in reality your skin barrier is very strong you have a hormone cell layer which keeps out all of these products can i get all those anti aging substances into my skin with. them to do smooth skin through nutrition indeed the secret is the whole lifestyle a part of this is what you eat so stay was natural foods and if you are healthy insight into sports you sleep well you tell thing you don't smoke you don't go to this time without protection of the. some parents avoid alcohol and become monster all these 8 accelerators you avoid so you will in the end have a healthier and youngness in and this is much more effective than using an anti-aging cream while you could you take a look at my skin and say what you can see yes i would love to.

scalp of the back red and i can see some dandruff. she has a dry eye scalp which is prone to flaking and this is why. this is a big just glance produced 2 little fat and nutrients skin cells form which then die and flake off the dandruff tends to be small and white and it often itches. find it there and tiny cracks in the skin and this causes inflammation which feels . it's a vicious circle the more you scratch the more you damage the skin so the more it itches and the more you scratch. and success. wearing a hat can make a vicious circle even more vicious. where you can make the situation worse because the sweat itself in cause itching on your quads lots of people do actually react to their own sweat. if you have dry skin with these micro injuries the sweat can make

you rich when it comes in contact with them. but an oily scalp can often cause problems as well. here the glans produced excessive fat and nutrients which creates bigger often yellow flakes that stick to the scalp. different causes need to be treated in different ways. so which who is the right one we asked here dresser don't you know of a cello and you titian judea shambat apparently using an anti dander of shampoo on dry skin can do more harm than good as it really is i wouldn't advise someone with a dry scouters to use anti dandruff shampoo because it could irritate the skin even more. many n.t. dandruff shampoos are far too aggressive anyone with a dry scalp should read the ingredients list on care products extra carefully. when

the division is and we should use a really mild shampoo with no fragrances or preservatives and make sure there are lipitor in it to keep the skin moisturized right that is up. here are there 3 tips for washing and blow drying only used lukewarm water rinse the hair thoroughly to get rid of all the product and blow dry on the medium setting with an attachment like this if possible. another potential problem with an oily scalp is fungus oily deposits provide food for various types of yeast that convert it into harmful fatty acids anti dandruff shampoos can help here. fresh lemon juice can also be applied to an oily scalp for 10 minutes to regulate the ph value. black tea and tea tree oil work in a similar way clean bedding can also help. because it's a good idea to wash your pillow at regular intervals 60 degrees celsius and without

it would be useful and helpful for example to use an app and there's a plan for this exactly there are several apps and you may use your mobile phone just to scan the barcode oh yeah ok and here you go so this product is recommended but i see there are some parfum substances ok and we just are mythologised we don't like perfume fragrance but all the other in britain seem to be fine so this won't be a product which you can use a trial whether you like it now it's quite expensive actually so i boiled sheeple one which is this year and it's not even a euro plus unless you're right there's not scams. good well no not so good looks with the c.n.a. there is a warning and they say that there are some substances inside washing substances 10 sites that are very aggressive and we can use kinda area so you can have like other jeans again irritations itching brightness and i don't like this being

a closer look. is liquid so it's popularity down to the fact that it washes better 1st we need to explain why dirt is removed more easily with soap than without it the reason behind it is a fact compounds that reduce the surface tension of water it's this action that causes dirt particles to separate on the skin but this one so do it any better than the other. it's the same as asking whether warm water is better than cold how effectively it cleans is mainly due to the mechanics of how i wash my hands. and this means careful love the ring as a rule of thumb 30 seconds only then will your hands clean. i mean regardless of whether bar or liquid soap is used. still baso does have a bit of a tarnished image who hasn't encountered its messy leftovers but council actually transmit germs soap may loosen bacteria and viruses but it doesn't kill them

germs can be passed on from our hands and live on in soap slime. there are germs that lot are more moist environment so you can assume that they'll stay there maybe for a few days or weeks but don't forget you're using this too and you always runs a little bit of it off and that of course washes away the virus and germs too. for those who still have concerns with magnetic holders such as these soap can dry out then germs don't have a chance preservatives are added to liquid soap to keep germs in check it's still a good idea to thoroughly clean a liquid soap dispenser before we filling it. you know do the ingredients of the 2 differ. industrial made bars of soap usually contain fairly unproblematic substances like the fat caustic soda vegetable oil and water.

but it's dyes fragrances and other additives like moisturisers which can cause problems. liquid soap consists mainly of water and lots of chemicals synthetically produce a factor preservatives and thickening agents as well as agents that produce the desired ph value and the most a fire to hold it all together. dyes and fragrances are also found in liquid soaps around 500 different ones are used by the cosmetics industry. 26 of these fragrances and. to cause skin irritation xmarks including some made from natural oils. dr hans michels often sees patients who are allergic to soap. the allergies are treated not only by fragrances and diets but also by

preservatives. just how high is the risk of an allergic reaction. generally speaking there are only a few contact allergies when it comes to the allergens don't have any time to really have an effect on the skin because the soap itself is washed off from an hour ago logical perspective bar so makes more sense because it releases fewer substances and the short time while liquid soap is a product where all manner of things can be. written it sounds like basso morgan has the edge especially when you consider it lasts about twice as long as liquid soap. and needs less packaging a big plus for the environment. methane to date hydrochloride is a drug which. used to treat an attention deficit disorder in children it's not affection resembles cocaine the problem is that intention deficit disorder is very

hard to diagnose so a lot of children get infrastructure necessary. armando is 18 his sister alessia 16. they live in a village near coeur in switzerland today they both look happy and well balanced but 10 years ago it was a very different picture and their mother remembers it well. and armando wotton living they were very lively if you are mandarin always had a hard time at school he couldn't sit still feel that shtick the teacher said he used to put his hand up and say you needed to go for a run around school was a big problem for him i went to the pediatrician for advice so we were all tall and . the pediatrician diagnosed both the siblings with a.d.h. d. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. to help them concentrate better he

prescribed ritalin a drug with the active ingredient methylphenidate which they would have to take every day from then on. the number of ritalin prescriptions to treat a.d.h. d. has risen sharply around the world in recent years. it's a trend that we should be concerned about says psychotherapist and. it's not that easy to diagnose a.d.h. so there are a lot of missed. if you think about 40 to 50 percent of cases are misdiagnosed that patients are prescribed ritalin and there are a lot of side effects. for example related to growth or appetite armando didn't have any serious side effects 1st but the drug didn't start to adversely affect him when he hit puberty. until last molars working to reduce the number of people who are falsely prescribed ritalin. at the end of the 1990 s.

he started researching a new diagnostic procedure for a d h d using an e.g. test to measure brain waves. we measure the patient's brain activity while they're solving tasks so we can see to the millisecond what's happening in the different regions of the brain in this case. to gather more accurate information he carried out a study between 20132017 that examine the brain waves of 580 h.t. patients and compare them with those of healthy people. and their huge quantity of data has enabled us to detect 88. the biomarkers for children and adults. we've also discovered subtypes. and we know know that certain subtypes respond better to redolent and son to other drugs.

ritalin only works for about 60 percent of the patients. tests showed that armando belongs to a subtype that ritalin isn't suitable for instead of feeling fidgety like he did in elementary school he started feeling listless he got lost in his own world and was unable to structure his day to day life child psychiatrist better get coffee prescribed him another drug that works for his a.d.h. the subtype 1 may have. sometimes psychotherapy isn't enough and the patient needs medication and now because of the data we have on brain physiology we know which drug is the right one and we can justify giving medication to children and adolescents as we know that the psychological strain would constantly increase without it. armando can't do without drugs but at least he's now taking something that really helps me to 9 medicament been if i can use it so i'm really happy with

the new medication and i can concentrate better i can complete tasks better and i'm more patient when someone asks me something. topical made a good dog. in the past he wouldn't have been able to play this kind of concentration game. now he even does it for fun. that's it for today see you next week and until then let's all try to stay in good shape.

despite the sweltering heat they're taking to the streets in their tens of thousands but they're concerned about an erosion of their rights and freedoms also coming up to. 2 major airlines suspend flights to the egyptian capital cairo they signed can security concerns but give no further information on the details behind the decision. and ukraine's president cast his vote in the country's staff parliamentary elections live in years a lengthy needs his party to win a majority so he can make good on promises of reform. law. omarion evanston it's good. have you with us anti-government protests in hong kong are showing no sign of letting up tens of thousands of people took to the streets

on sunday for a 7th weekend in a row the rallies were initially sparked by a controversial extradition bill though the bill has now been suspended the protestors are worried about an erosion of freedoms under chinese rule and say they want free elections. our correspondent phoebe kong is monitoring the situation and she joins us now from hong kong for more so phebe the 7th weekend of protests in hong kong but it seems that this time police are not taking any chances we're hearing about additional security measures what more can you tell us. yaml sphere of today is absolutely very tense a over the protests area right now what i mean here we can see the the team the rally is alive passing through my back and they're going to the government

headquarters right now and the police have deployed. hundreds if not thousands of police officers around hong kong island to pretend any like balance question happening possibly. be their own today and yesterday we know that the police they have arrested several people all of that they are suspected of produce saying some kind of life bombs and they are having some highly explosive materials in the factory so 6 this is also why one of the reasons why the police say they are very cautious about what's going on today and certainly they the government and also some of the protesters they are worried about fame spoke go out of control after the rally the peaceful rally today. so it's safe to say that china is monitoring what's happening in hong kong very closely it's called the protests

it's blaming the protest on extremists external forces but how much longer do you think beijing is going to tolerate this challenge to its authority over hong kong. you know you're right this is definitely one off the. largest movement seems hong kong was handed back to china screwy 9097 in 20 years ago and there are some rumors recently in recent weeks that saying that china china saffron they might have a chance to deploy the chinese army to lie to in hong kong to control the situation if the situations really they go out of control and things turn out lindsay but this is a very sensitive move if the chinese government really decide to use de army to control the situation and this will further i ha hum const reputation they follow

me and this is not something i really used to do that because firstly hungary governments have to declare a state of emergency before the chinese government they have deployed army to control the situation so in the short term this might not happen but in terms of politics and politically it is expected that the chinese government they will tighten their grip over hong kong further because. obviously you know how some governments and the top believe they're carrying them they have lost all the trust and integrity so it is very likely that for a government that the chinese government to protest ok great over hong kong. t.v. con we have to leave it there thank you so very much for your reporting. now british airways and german. flagship carrier look tons have suspended flights to the egyptian capital cairo british airline announced it would not be flying to

cairo for a week lufthansa said it would resume flights today the airlines say that the measure is a security precaution but they have not given a further explanation this comes as the u.k. united states and other countries have issued travel warnings for egypt. well joining us now for more is ruth michelson she's a journalist who's based in cairo good morning to you ruth so the airlines have said they've suspended flights as a precaution what are they worried about well as you mentioned we know that british airways have suspended flights for the next week lufthansa said yesterday that they canceled 2 flights. which results in the cancellation if you follow the flights today but then that this will resume. and this came as something of a surprising ruth last night. and has said that they won't disclose the reason why

they suspended these flights on grounds of security but we do know that this decision came off the british foreign office updated it suffice to travelers physics in egypt it still mocks the majority of egyptians see it as somewhere that people should seek their advice before traveling but we also don't know why the foreign office decided to update its travel advice including new mentions of increased threats to aviation while ruth in 2015 terrorist bombed a russian airliner that had taken off from the resort of sharm el shaikh in egypt just how good is security adage of sion airports and what is the current risk of a terror attack. well the flight that you mentioned metro jet 796 a took off from. call in south sinai. that

airport has seen something of a security overhaul by the egyptian government and some british pop is since the terrorist attack took place there the egyptian government also hired a british security firm control risks to assess security at all of its airports across the country. now it's been reported that the decision taken by british airways came following a routine security assessment of egyptian airports by british officials last week gyptian officials have since said that the security assessment was rated as excellent following this but this doesn't explain why flights were cancelled. michael some reporting for us from cairo we thank you very much ukrainians are heading to the polls today to elect a new parliament ukrainian president vladimir selenski called the snap elections after being sworn into office in mame he's hoping this vote will consolidate his

power and give him a stronger mandate to carry out reforms the former t.v. actor was elected on promises of tackling corruption and shaking up ukraine's political system but so far progress has been slow. connelly is in kiev and he joins us now for more so nick president selenski actually himself brought forward the timing of these elections just how confident is he that voters will hand his party more power. good morning mary it seems if the polls it's believed that this gamble is paying off the latest polls gave his newly founded policy 7 to the people over 45 percent of the populace support which if it turns out speech true would be more than any

other you can present had picked up before him it looks like he'll be just short of an absolute majority which will allow his policy to put legislation through ukraine's parliament the right on its own but it really seems like that strategy overly. working on his driving home his advantage while the honeymoon approaches that's been going on for the last few months now still in place that really is paying off and he looks set to win big. well they own rise to power it came of course off the back of him starring in a t.v. show and now apparently one of the candidates in this election is a musician a rock star is ukraine going for a new type of politician. i think marrion of the difference is a very big desire hunger for new faces will be ones that people can trust and know . you're not totally people who have come out of obscurity so that's why this of show business base seems to be one that's working so effectively for now and is

let's keep it also for some musicians you mentioned that we met him earlier in the week and he told an interesting thing he said if ukraine had developed differently if you crane hadn't fallen behind its neighbors in the last 20 years he thought it would probably be better if politicians did politics and musicians stuck to music but given that they had failed really to bring this country forward he felt he had no other choice but to get involved and not only. express his preferences but also set up his own party we joined him on the campaign trail let's have a. everything's going to be all right it's a hit that became a campaign slogan for circus love. after 25 years on the stage in 10 albums ukraine's most famous rock singer is venturing out onto a new political stage as leader of a new party called voice. in

a crowded political scene look at you is starting from scratch promising to end the oligarchs stranglehold of ukraine's economy and stand up to russia. since its rivals are scared and playing. the old faces of ukrainian politics were not expecting us to be doing so well in the polls and now they're throwing all they've got into discrediting us and doing everything to stop us taking power away from them. like president selenski before him is profiting from a hunger for fresh faces in ukrainian politics faces but if interested previously the public eye their back. politics is a part of both that decides to take the plunge into politics says look you want to ukraine's biggest stars. the politics for 28 years we've been we've been waiting for politicians to do something to change this country never happened probably it

will be better for musicians to sing and for politicians to do politics it's our turn i hope to do as many things as possible and i'll do my best and what i see that my mission is accomplished i'm coming back very happily to be just musician. days for this entertainer turned politician between place and ending up with no seats in the polls suggest anything could still happen the next day draws closer just one thing seems clear many ukrainians are willing to vote for just about anyone but the politicians. all right nick so clearly a very popular musician but how likely is it that he will end up in government while the latest poll puts him just over that 5 percent threshold with potentially the smallest party in ukraine's parliament and that potentially could be just enough in coalition with the selenski to give

a majority in parliament so potentially a coalition on the cards between the comedian turned politician and the rock salt and politician for now being very cautious and very guarded but the team seems very open to starting a new coalition government with him so we could see that happen very soon all right nick connelly in kiev we thank you for that. all right some sports news now and the algeria's footballers have returned home to a hero's welcome after their africa cup of nations triumph the players were greeted by the warmest crowds on the streets of the capital algiers on saturday as they paraded through town on an open top bus probably displaying the trophy to their fans algeria beat senegal by one goal to nail in the final in cairo on friday night to claim the cup of nations crown for just the 2nd time in the country's history.

13 women. 21 stages. 3480 kilometers. and one demand driver to order forms for women because so far it's a men only competition. jacqueline like if we want to show that women can accomplish extraordinary things too by doing something that may look a bit crazy getting people to listen to us to get. their plan is to cycle the entire tour de france all 3480 kilometers exactly one day ahead of the met. we're in brussels where the tour de france will start this year tomorrow these 13 women set off from here. now they're making last minute preparations sorting out

their helmets jerseys and shoes. places. yet to pre-judge here everybody checks out anyone need to digest plus. more because this isn't dope and this is all legal it's all natural ingredients he's a food supplement. that just. clear florrie is the one behind the dawn on desirable project which roughly translates to let's get women on bikes she's been doing the tour de france every year since 2015 no matter the circumstances. i don't know if you they were the 1st time we did the 2 i had there were just 3 of us and we didn't know if we budgeted enough money on the trip we stayed the family a school tail wind meals and washed out jerseys by hand every evening. and it was just on my you know it was do it yourself basically did you but that was

a real adventure since a couple. things have become much more professional in recent years. that no other women have a sponsor without this financial support they'd be hardly able to pay for their bike equipment and accommodation. none of the women are professional cyclists claire for example works as a sports teacher and organizes this competition in her spare time. because i receive organizing all this is exhausting but it's ok because it's my passion right now it leaves me little free time for anything else because i'm totally focused on this project. but in one or 2 years when there will hopefully be a women's tour de france it will have paid off. like has its actually think example . in central brussels the morning before the race that women are preparing to set off. tomorrow in just

a few 100 metres from here the belgian king will send off the men competing in the tour de france. and then someone unceremoniously they're off. unlike during the actual tour de france the roads are not blocked off to cars so they must carefully we in our traffic and there is much less pomp and glamour than during the men's race they have to deal with red lights on coming cars and other challenges. the women will cover a distance of 3480 kilometers cycling through the. the pyrenees and the alps climbing to an altitude of 2770 meters but it's not about setting new records all these women cyclists want is to be treated with the same respect as their male peers. how much you can will soon as i started cycling as

a sport late when i was 24. and at some points i realised that i'd never seen a women's peloton on t.v. even though there are plenty of women involved in competitive cycling but they never feature on t.v. i wanted to change that. some hardcore science science answered already gathered along the route to get a good view of the men's tour de france quite a few are impressed by the women taking on this challenge. for the sake of the men get all the backing attention they could hopeful but the women don't receive enough. well that you know that's why we're here to cheer them on good enough want to see. anyone up for it could even cycle along with them for part of the journey everyone's invited no matter their gender. i think i have

a point why is there thought of most for men and not for women surely there's room for both. cycling along with the women has become really popular now for security reasons only 100 athletes are allowed on the road at any one time when i know my mom has so many cyclists have joined us it's amazing that means our message is being heard and that's a fantastic feeling this official. 4 days in 650 kilometers later we're in sandy aid devotion of always mountains tough section lies ahead. but thankfully claire is in great shape and up for the challenge in fact just 2 weeks ago she competed in the french cycling championships. but it's not a steep climb but it drags on. unlike the men who get nutritious snacks passed on to them on the go the women have to pull over their wheat. that along with navigating road traffic slows them down considerably meaning that

they need almost twice the time then do for a day's stage. a small team of volunteers accompanies the women on their journey helping with preparations. this was even though this is the 2nd year now that oscar meyer has signed up to support them . he even took a break from his student job so we could be here but it's a race against the clock during days 3 weeks we help the women the more time they have to recuperate. carbohydrate heavy food and fruit give them the necessary energy to get back on that bike or else does that way so far things have been go a whole right here but we still have half of the climb ahead of us the toughest bit is still to come the negotiations there. and look for stability of really steep

we'll see. every day the women spend 8 to 9 hours biking that obviously takes its toll with muscle cramps and the like a common problem luckily they have got 3 physio therapist on the team travelling with them when needed they set up their massage tables in the hotel always in the evenings they're super busy giving the women are up down. yeah richard reeves almost yesterday was a hard day we cycled for 215 kilometers and the last in line she was really painful 7 our muscles got all tense but now i'm getting my toxins message out of my muscles so i'll be ready for tomorrow as. they're not the rush. you know with their busy schedule they don't always have time for an evening rub down often they meet local sports clubs and even mayors after a day's cycling like here and all see for example it tends to garner them admiration those sometimes people doubt they'll pull off the whole tour if you

think they'll make it to the end but we've been doing this for 5 years and so far only one participant ever gave up that's one out of 22 in the last 4 years 22 made it to the finish line. so there's no reason to believe all 13 of us won't make it this year but it is. because. we're on the opposite women always need to prove themselves because people tend to think that minimal capable is. day 2 in the bush this year clare and her fellow female cyclists are supported by an international women's team with athletes from england the u.s. and australia. australia's paper lion did not mind travelling this far to participate. along the road her 11 month old son is there to cheer her on. since having him it's made even more important to me to

just show to the next generation boys and girls that women can do exactly the same as men yes we can do things as foster is strong but we can do it and we can do it really well c. each year there are more and more people calling for there to be an old visual women's tour de france but so far these demands have fallen on deaf ears . even though back in the 1980 s. the organizers did one stage a women's race along with the mans but then rescheduled the event in that was the end of it christiane predominate charge of the tour de france doesn't want to tell us what he thinks about this instead he sends this statement mr pradelle moretti answered many times questions about the possibility of organizing during the tour de france a tour de france for women the answer is still the same organizing another race of the same time for 3 weeks is logistically not possible.

there is some truth in this the tour de france is the world's 3rd biggest sporting event 4500 helpers are needed just to prepare the route and almost 30000 police officers and firemen are on duty to maintain security and some say that staging another race just requires too much work. but i've read up on geo the president of the international cycling union thinks a women's competition could be a great success. so. we will have to work on a solution and examine the technical problems and circumstances i think we can address these challenges at all and i am convinced that women's cycling can appeal to one large audience if you know you and your female athletes will finally get the recognition they deserve. faberge thought about your ex called there the good news is that in 2014 the tour de france organizers did begin staging a one day women's race during the men's competition but for clare that's not enough

. i asked myself why should we be happy with a one day race when we have capable of going for days at the several stages of days and weeks a one day race is not comparable to one that goes over several stages because over time cycling takes develop and it's something different for viewers to and from a sports perspective as well so i think women are entitled to a proper race. the. officer then also that was. for now much hard work still lies ahead of the cyclists even though they've mastered the 1st steep stages. is still a long way until they reach their final destination paris and it will also take a long time until there's a proper women's tour de france but giving up is out of the question. as i came forward this is the 5th time i'm doing this and i hope i don't have to keep going for another 15 years because it certainly is hard work and it gets harder by

the year for the info i mean besides i want to start a family at some point the good news is should i stop others will take my place course they mean charlotte although. i. kcal flight. is a very different lineup if you didn't see him behind the. japanese splendidly.

a while. the distilled or surgery of dr. the 56 year old orthopedic specialist is a renowned sports physician among his clients triple grand slam winner and julie kavner the distal golf prize hockey team and for the past 12 years the city's put. finest from fortunate just as of today john symond is here for an after care appointment with the fortuna fullback suffered a serious ankle injury in the mid february match with labor crews and it wasn't certain he play again before the summer. when your body is your tool to train you need a doctor like olf if you have to take a break you make sure you get it and if he says yes you're ok but if he says no that's the way it is. a doctor a psychologist and a reassuring presence. i mean you can see how busy it is here i think it's

remarkable it's not only how he finds the time but when you hear it gives you the feeling you're the most important person in the world for those kids who get dust in the moment they receive the mention of. the actual surgery is only part of the job for you also understand the value of forging a bond with the place. i worked from an emotional angle i was very unwell myself for an extended period i know what it's like to be on the other side and as a patient it can be catastrophic to sit facing someone supposed to be making you better cold and standoffish where there's no woman no words of comfort no human touch your butt would go in i'm in. the doctor for body and soul it's a quality much appreciated by the distal players and their coach. the harmer our relationship has developed over time into one of the real friendship before because

wolf is just a terrific guy. as are fun for him school students are very conscientious and he treats everyone with the utmost respect i'm just happy to have him as a friend because see him in a calm you can always go to him with your problems and not just the physical things directly related to your job and then taking the incidental stuff as well and he can help fix a lot of. problem is when you don't know where to turn or can always call the dog even the right direction for devotees to be anything but anything even bill who i find that very touching it's nice to be spoken of so fondly by the coach and lots of such a long serving player at the club side. as though you can't help but be moved by that interest question of. blecher for to notice the doors all round medicine man. does time for miles just the way i am on disability.

saturday be involved but it's 6 30 in the morning. the only volkswagen arena visit is at this hour a couple of crows. pizza is always on the job already groundsman tend to be early risers. so to speak our munch day starts and help us 6 with the final trim we run the mower over the pitch one last time before getting to me and i'm on a platform off on a ford and. that's more than $7000.00 square metres of grass waiting to be nipped and tucked. lunchtime or sometimes i do it on my own belief sometimes a colleague does but the total distance is about 30 miles long which is it's

a good morning workout. at least not this kind of i enjoy it it's exercise it's peaceful just really nice shirt. after that he's got his fresh seed over the old worn out patches not least in the penalty box the imminent action will actually help the process along. the top dot com it sign of the goalkeeper stamps the c. date with the study so by the end of the game you'll hardly see any of the fresh seed it's all here so would be kind south of me thinks but i'm the keeper and one of the players basically finish off the receding forest and that helps keep the penalty box in play a competition for home but. it's time to water the lol. yeah some members in 2 hours before kickoff will start sprinkling my pitch it's nice dry weather today so i will have to ensure it's all well halted the flats the voices in from out seem like to play on

a moist pitch. for him to keep his in particular the wetter the better for keeping the movement of the ball sister for the life that's very important with the pitch now prep to pre-match perfection the 1st part of peter's i was working day is done . marcus boy is match day shift also starts early mention got past bus driver and kid manager is mung the 1st of the stadium getting all the gear ready. tracksuit warmer. underwear socks shorts shirts going to stands for blades flip flops towel. and the guy says no no doubt think of something else they

need later. marcus play for glass back him self up to reserve team level alongside a certain steffen effort. there but oh yeah i was a bit younger and i had to help our few times i know him well from back then. we met a few in tina just before i became kid manager here when he 1st came back outside so he was like an old or young woman by the don't long ago. today rylan rival. and their kid manager all of the parts has a thoughtful gift for his opposite number. thank you this is for my former youth team coach here sadly suffered a major struggle he's a great deal. and he's always bugged me to get one of these shirts i'll give it to him tomorrow he'll be delighted only when i'm going to my pleasure. then it's back to the changing room duty for marcus and his colleagues it takes

a couple of hours. it was solid effort to get everything shipshape. because in the years if you don't come with a guy some of the staff in there happy that's my job done i don't leave them in pain without movement i think us about enough turn the way they were much thanks i keep a low price. don't know what. the players have all they need for the jewel with this will doff it's very clear that marcus boy is an integral member of the glovebox team. some say he's the bus driver others call him the kit manager for me for me he's motivational coach mentor more. we get along really well. he's as much a part of the changing room but he's so many sides to so many good qualities and it's really nice guy. in shorts he's something of a father figure to the play a relationship that naturally gives rise to its own little conflicts. and i need

more thinking during the museum they listen to you wouldn't really be my thing but i think you know given the government always has its advantages my daughter is 19 i'm warmer in the car to get a chill sometimes i wish you had some done i've got the car and head so my slave. with the stadium chores done baucus heads back to the hotel to pick up the players and good time. to fill in for part of the biggest worries getting bank here on time still makes me slightly nervous i don't want to be late and i'm pretty much rooting for all i'm to be here around a quarter of last year the. men seek knowledge doing up for hours before kickoff norbit declare rise of the stadium you know the routine inside out but it's special every time. when i'm on when i

start getting nervous that's when i'll stop doing it straightaway herself. ah. i think you should be a bit nervous when it's your job to communicate with 80000 people. by job he's been doing a british adult men since 1992. students 127 years. there's folk on the south terroristic i've been doing it since 99 i've never seen anyone else there. and you can't separate an old footballer from his match day rituals yeah commercial chances are the greatest but of all the last time we won side of their own g.g. again to. skip 2 points although i always have a little energy to belmont if it. also obligatory the pre-match sausage with a few colleagues but this time someone is missing. i see my one now which is new

coming today. there's also a positioning issue with the brought the stand. in the dispenser should be on the other side. but there must at oracle brings good tidings. sense mustard yellow stuff that's a goal for dortmund sort catch on the red for the opposition because any clear read more of a mix with a lot of yellow so for one part of the audience. that's the place so i. see now i do the top course you could put the best face possible. and so to the main event preceded by a telling display of devotion on the south terrace. that the father brought his son along that's why the stadiums jam packed every time we really have to preserve this law of football experience i feel right now.

kickoff is fast approaching and nobody can get to know how much this game was in mind over. the back of both but spirits are high the balls are doing well out on the pitch to meticulously tended by peters i want another highly respected colleague here. this he said softly and he's a friend as well yeah been featured by so we enjoy helpful kids from place to hater and the good job he does with his staff i want to say straight out that we've got the best page in the book mostly get it right and it's one of the best. ground keepers services are required on a daily basis training. mark will also need to pitch back there in about half an hour if you could move that one again. but it's good to see that i'm trying to.

reach his work quite literally leaves the routes for the walls on the field success . then fade and his team operate to the highest standard. i've often said to the players it's the standard we should be aiming for. it's an ongoing process most of those in the power going to sleep would seem have a lot of other people backing them up in much of staple food if you dimension later and his colleagues are possible this team on the left and this is really tough work a master of his trade to make that masters one of golf's top tournament's is a job on the side for peter. cut off from oh i've worked about 8 times that we'll gust a masters in the stimulus from that cause there's always a mint condition for the trolls monotonously when they do something there they do it properly i love that this was just me but. a passion for playing surface quality and here is the next acid test. watermarks really fast like

a much detroit serious. honestly. against an over high stakes dobby encounter for peter and his pitches well. this is a little noisy. but you know it's often a guy with balls but chasing european however battling the drop no blade of grass remains uncontested it takes its toll. by a lot of slides tackles and one on ones are never good news for the pics but will fill in the divots and smooth out the routes at half time he got an offer that hopefully the score not a goal by the bushies but. just before the break peter gives his own team talk. but i feel the same procedure is usually let's go over. the cast and you'll have to clear away the paper back there and watch out i'll be richer in the whole pitch again how fast is predicted just going to defend. they have

a quarter of an hour to get the pitch back into the best possible condition that means removing the confetti from the home and. catching up any on field damage and giving the grass another good watering the halftime effort pays off as both but to school best 2nd goal. and then. 2 well what strikes on an equally well surface. coming up will be and what we want to bitch that is amenable to that kind of technical football right through to the finish in north america where the players can still pass the ball around smoothly but i think it was in the 2nd minute when we made it 31 it's always nice for us to see a pitch still in decent condition after 90 minutes on. 3 points earned on a good pitch that's satisfactory day's work. and that's what we want to city that makes the following week easier everyone's in good form know i'm feeling

a long face of the game. with creators o.l.f. pack the walls native turf just that big green. it's matchday in disposal with local rivals munching clap but the visitors heading into the stadium blacker feels the usual mix of emotions anticipation and he will make out moments when you look at a 54000 people in one huge rule right and tension. will sit there you know sitting there enjoying the match your constant not waiting for something to happen and one of them totally focused and she can't let it slip through a number of getting. the distilled off arena despite the usual worry happily compounded by the players. you don't want to hear it's a running gag where harkin strides from back to justin golf short of on the traffic jam over the dolphins and marcus boyer has got his charges the stadium in could

he's a bit bashed up but that makes he more interesting to valet these into something off but. it's been a busy match day for the dog. by 5 relatives from my dog to me loving little do me for the next 5 games i think it's good. but it was worth. the trip points no serious injuries as good as it gets. marcus boy is left to digest blockbuster $31.00 loss of their rhineland labors but life goes on and there's always another perhaps longer term professional goal arising. my fitness line targets in retirement in 68 with what seems likely an accident frank along with his on the clock that's the main thing the rests down to the full and shiny.

sanctions on iran after the seizure of a british flag for oil tanker on friday tehran says the tanker was violating international rules also coming up to ukraine's president cast his vote in the country's snap parliamentary election but if he has a lead he needs his party to win a majority so he can't make good on promises of reform. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us. britain is considering imposing fresh sanctions on iran following the seizure of a u.k. flagged oil tanker in the strait of hormuz on friday warning comes as audio emerged of a tense exchange between british and the rainy and navy officers recorded moments before iran rate of the vessel. for weeks lead threatened to retaliate then

late friday a rainy and revolutionary guard commandos hauled bring over the stand and peril made their move reading the british flagged oil tanker in international waters and forcing it to seal to iran. britain has demanded the release of the vessel and condemned what it called a hostile act. safety and security of british and international shipping in one of the most important seaways in the world and that is why we are calling on iran to reverse this illegal we are looking for ways to deescalate the situation but we are also very clear that we will do what it takes to ensure the safety and security of british and international. stana in peril now docked in the iranian porter. it's $23.00 crew said to be in good health but audio exchanges

between a british warship and the iranian special forces moments before the capture reveal the tension in the region. obstruct. the entry sterner in. iran. security the number. of. international. attention to the and the senate that. iran's foreign minister on a visit to venezuela is reported to view the seizure as for tat following the impounding of an iranian vessel in gibraltar earlier this month the grace one was seized by british forces suspected of breaching sanctions on syria for its part the

u.k. insists it's upholding international law. for more let's bring in our london correspondent charlotte pot's charlotte we heard in that report just now u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt saying he's keen to avoid the u.k. being pulled into a conflict in the gulf but this is a significant escalation so how worried is britain about the risk of an open conflict. now senior military officials here in the u.k. are extremely concerned about this incident i mean we're talking about a british flag ship in the gulf being seized by iran and that is seen as a major international crisis those military officials warning today that the government must focus on this iran crisis or. maybe otherwise slight into war and it is seen as a major international crisis senior military officials have also been saying that

the government has been distracted by the leadership race by the leadership race about who is to replace to resign may as prime minister in just 3 days time this is ongoing boris johnson is running for this position as well as jeremy hunt boris johnson being a former foreign minister and jeremy hunt the current foreign minister and now boris johnson if he makes it into downing street he is somebody that knows the foreign office well he knows how to deal with a diplomatic incidents of this so what he is not a warmonger he's not reckless but he's also known to be unfocused not detail oriented so this is seen for some as concern on the other hand you have jeremy hunt too has really been the face of this iran crisis in the u.k. has been very present and he will probably most likely announce sanctions new

sanctions on iran tomorrow among them acid freezing and that. he will announce new economic and other measures tomorrow so he's really been very present and all of this. just briefly if you can is this current international crisis expected to have an impact on the outcome of the vote for britain's prime minister . no it most likely won't because tomorrow the paper ballots will close 160000 members of the conservative party have been voting these past weeks on who will make it into downing street jeremy hunt o'barr is johnson and this race really has been about domestic issues most for almost breakfasted and whether the u.k. will leave the european union on october 31st boris johnson has sworn to that and that really resonated with the conservative membership so most likely we will see

boris johnson moving into downing street number 10 on wednesday and most likely he will also keep his rival jeremy hunt on as foreign minister because of course at this time with an international crisis like this it would be good to have a little bit of stability in the foreign office r i w a charlotte hawks in london many thanks indeed. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world british airways and germany's flagship carrier live tons have temporarily suspended flights to be egyptian capital cairo be a announced it would not be flying to cairo for a week lufthansa said it would resume flights today the airlines say that the measure is a security precaution but did not give a further explanation. pro-democracy rallies are underway again in hong kong for the 7th week and protesters are taking to the streets to maintain autonomy from

china the protests began last month in opposition to a controversial extradition bill since grown to call for greater democratic reforms . in portugal more than a 1000 firefighters are trying to put out wildfires that are sweeping through the center of the country and strong winds have complicated efforts to control the fires one village was evacuated as a precaution. ukrainians are heading to the polls today to elect a new parliament ukrainian president vladimir is a lengthy call the snap elections after being sworn into office in may he's hoping this vote will consolidate his power and give him a stronger mandate to carry out reforms the former t.v. actor was elected on promises of tackling corruption and shaking up ukraine's political system but so far progress has been slow.

our idea connally is in kiev and he joins us now for more so nick just how confident is president selenski that voters will hand his party more power. good afternoon miranda well if the polls are to be believed he is certainly on course for probably the best result a sitting ukrainian president has ever achieved over 45 percent just short of 50 percent majority so it looks like he will need a coalition to pass laws speaking to people here at this polling station in a middle class suburb of kiev there is still a lot of support for so lets go around albeit a little less enthusiastic and it will less. unencumbered by questions than it was just a couple of months ago during the presidential election obviously this is a parliamentary election a bit more complicated more options on the table less of a black and white choice but it does seem that he's gamble to pull those problem attractions forward and capitalize on his honeymoon with the electorate does seem

to be paying off. well the left his own rise to power came of corus off the back of him starring in a t.v. show and now apparently one of the candidates and this parliamentary election happens to be a musician a rock star nick why are voters turning away from traditional politicians. i think the answer is disappointment ukrainians are deeply disappointed that this country has failed to live up to its huge potential in this forum behind its neighbors such as poet in terms of economic and social. standards of living and people really have had enough of a political. front runners in selection of former president bush and co from a promise of 2 machine co there's a real desire for fresh faces but people want to have people that they have some kind of knowledge of and so it seems like showbusiness is the perfect springboard for that entry into politics people that have been on people's radars for years but haven't got that baggage haven't got those associations of corruptions and scandals

we went to see. the rock musician you were talking about on the campaign trail let's have a look. everything's. going to be all right it's a hit the became a campaign slogan for so. after 25 years on the stage in 10 albums ukraine's most famous rock singer is venturing out onto a new political stage as leader of the new party pulls the voice. in a crowded political scene starting from scratch promising to end the oligarchs stranglehold of ukraine's economy and stand up to russia. says his rivals a skit and playing dirty. the old faces of ukrainian politics were not expecting us to be doing so well in the polls and now they're throwing all they've got into discrediting us and doing everything to stop us taking power away from the.

present selenski before him is profiting from a hunger for fresh faces in ukrainian politics will be faces but if interested previously public their backgrounds and their politics is a part of both have decided to take the plunge into politics since you want to give prince biggest stars. the politics for 28 years we've been we've been waiting for politicians to do something to change this country never happened probably will be better for musicians to sing and for politicians to do politics it's our turn hope to do as many things as possible and i'll do my best and what i see that my mission is accomplished i'm coming back very happily to be just musician. these days for this entertainer turned. between 3rd place and ending up with no seats at the polls suggest and he could still happen this election day draws closer

just one thing seems clear many ukrainians are willing to vote for just about anyone but the politicians they know. very popular musician but will he end up in government. well that's the $1000000.00 question miranda will that is fame will that celebrity translate into votes at the polling stations the reaching the poll ratings are all over the place as we said in that report somebody can sort in 3rd position of the stealing to get into parliament failing at that 5 percent hurdle at the moment though it does seem like he could just pick up the right number of votes treacly be a perfect the coalition partner at least in selenski is in the eyes of his party servant of the people getting just those votes that selenski needs to get his majority in parliament and it really fits into that narrative with new faces a new generation rather than since to having to form a coalition with people who have been in government for decades look at you understandably as the potential junior partner being very guarded and very quiet on

that but i think everything is up to play for and if i could shoot gets into we will be seeing a lot more of them are i think connelly reporting for us from kiev we thank you. for this news now and algeria as footballers have returned home to a hero's welcome after their africa cup of nations triumph the players were greeted by enormous crowds on the streets of the capital algiers on saturday as they paraded through town on an open top bus proudly displaying the trophy to their fans during a beat senegal by one goal to nail in the final in cairo on friday night to claim the cup of nations crown for just the 2nd time in the country's history. and thereafter his welcome was also afforded to the senegalese team of their return home this 5 their defeat fans in the capital dakar lined the streets along the 16 kilometer route from the airports to the presidential palace where the squad horse

syrians and lebanese refugee camps are increasingly being forced to dismantle shelters made out of stone or concrete building regulations say the authorities but observers and n.g.o.s say it's an obvious attempt to get the refugees to leave. it's back breaking work in scorching heat. and his neighbors demolished the roofs under which they've lived for 6 years the refugees from syria have to tear down their huts using only their hands and a few simple tools. the trial and i'm very angry with i've lived here since 2013 and within a span of 2 weeks they've decided that everything has to be demolished it's very hard for us i have diabetes and ask masses of all 113 huts in this refugee camp near us all are set to be destroyed a decision made by the lebanese government to stone buildings are deemed illegal and must now be removed as quickly as possible. muito our fled bombings in the

syrian city of homs with his wife and 3 children here the 60 year old grandfather and his family found refuge a room a kitchen a toilet and a roof over their heads the family was grateful but is now all the more shocked following the demolition order. yet my whole being in the let me are just crushed by the news that they want us out we were safe here but what should we do now that is just as hard as when we had to leave syria that many that i can never get my own. cell has been hit hard by the influx of refugees the quiet border town took in 120000 syrians 3 times its own population the rundown electricity and water supply is close to collapse the local schools only have space for 3000 pupils but there are 12000 children many locals worry about their jobs.

but still allah who chese says he understands these concerns and is willing to implement the expensive eviction order but he calls it manipulative and aimed at forcing the refugees back to their homes. yet if this increases the pressure on the city council the refugees the ide organizations but it doesn't fix any of the problems at all. so far none of the refugees have left they fear persecution in syria but law. life in this camp will only get harder for them now. and his family have been told to move into a tent made of top hole and plastic electricity and running water have not been connected yet it offers little shelter from the summer heat and the bitterly cold winter. where knox was able to flee nazi germany when he was 13 just months before the outbreak of the 2nd world war he and 10000 mostly

it was pretty or and. unfortunately my father had not been at home so he wasn't i didn't pick him up or call him so that was. the beginning of the realisation that it's impossible but it's clear by the school you then made the decision it was to move the school thing that was they had they had most of the director of the school so he started this and i'm still with i think about it that in 2 months. he organized the 1st group to go to england and he managed that in age weeks is quite incredible that was the beginning of our trip to england and i was expecting sooner or later to go to america with my parents. and then. time went on and in the last communication had from them

was in 1942 my father wrote on the 19th to tell me that they were leaving cologne. and on the all we knew was ever going to the east no detail. we know now is that they went to extermination camp. but this i didn't find out that 30 years ago. and you live with it nothing you can do about. it but at the same time to see what's up when you think what's happening here what's happening in the whole of europe and all these various countries where the right wing is coming up again i remember that i drew about when my parents it was when the fog about hitler would just can't last for 5 years. but it lasted and he created.

hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine today the race of the century the formula visit switzerland. not small or huge just sporting the audi t.t.'s. and mercedes new giant the g.l.'s. in the us more specifically in utah we have our 1st encounter with a 2nd generation of the g.l.'s from mercedes and the fast open spaces even this 7 seater looks tiny but don't be fooled it has grown by 8 centimeters to an impressive 5.21 meters long and 1.951. it's just what a lot of american and chinese customers were asking for but hard to imagine how this will cope with the narrow streets and car parks in european city. even so

how do other motive journalists like the new g.l.'s we collected some 1st impressions. thomas says what he particularly know this is among the new g.l.'s that is relatively agile for its size that's probably because who it's new suspension technology and that's even true compared to the geo he would. has a shorter wheelbase and is a little more agile but for this long wheel base he thinks it's still fun to drive and when it comes to comfort especially thanks to the air suspension it's near the top of his class. at hillary sister's mercedes benz likes to call the g.l.'s the class among issue and she thinks that's a really good comparison and has just about every feature that has a very attractive design that still radiates elegance i'm really impressed obviously with the transition to the new platform i had driven g e so i had a pretty good idea that it would be an improvement but for

a vehicle of the sauciest it drives a lot more exciting than the old one well it's huge i mean i saw it for the 1st time i'm like wow driving this in europe it's yeah i can imagine it's more for the american market it's big it's very big. technically than geo lashes closely related to a smaller brother that. they share a platform but the g.o.'s is $25.00 centimeters longer both as she leaned models are built in the us. is that this question for the old one is more around now so personally i like it more because it's more in proportion and mostly the rear. end that not only looks good it also offers a maximum load capacity of 2400 leaders. yet well they definitely renewed the interior i like the definitely the center console with the new shapes of the of the of the evidence. the interior is like

typical ms it is they're rolling the interiors these days. the $212.00 inch displays are already standard on the g.l.'s what's really relaxing are the various massage programs which can be selected on the right display passengers in the rear can conveniently operate their seat functions such as air conditioning and massage using a detachable tablet of course voice control is also. possible. a mercedes. i'd like to go to salt lake city. starting right now to salt lake city it's not rhys's says the workmanship is top notch as expected the materials are beautiful and she likes the way you're really can choose what you want technologically the vehicle has everything you need what she likes is that you can hold on here in the middle and have had gives it a bit of a s.u.v. flavor. alongside the 270 kilowatt 3 leader in

this eliminates a conventional infotainment display in the middle. as sports seats are standard and they give excellent holden powerful acceleration for end dynamic cornering. once again l.t. is calling the t.t.s. coupe a 2 plus 2 seater and with good reason not a 4 seater there's no point in looking for a room here instead the 2 rear seats serve as storage space for a bag or the like under the large tailgate is the trunk over all the t.t. has has a storage volume of 305 to 712 liter. he says you have to admit the t.t.s. is a real sports car it's very good on the road steers really well and has a real talent for the curves. thanks to all wheel drive and t.t.'s is able to

stay in control even in wet conditions it's good suspension also helps as it does without exaggerated firmness even in dynamic much. julian says there's not much to complain about but outings refinement comes with the high cost 54400 euros for 225 kilowatts by comparison 452000 euros you can get a b.m.w. m $240.00 guy extra with 6 cylinders that. both way again is 7 groundbreaking record with its i.d.r. the goodwood festival of speed in southern england for the 1st time an electric racing car was faster than a formula one racing car. covered the 1.86 kilometer race track and 39.90 seconds in the 500 kilowatt hour like race car improving on

a decade the 2nd generation has been available since 2017 how does the compact s.u.v. compare. what car to surmount is correct likes is the engine the $184.00 killer what t. 5 offers proper acceleration once you step on the gas pedal what he's wondering about the decision to build a gasoline powered car here in europe diesels and plug in hybrids which will vote also produces have a significant advantage over this model when it comes to fuel consumption it's claimed to be $9.00 leaders per 100 kilometers but in reality you can expect double digits. i don't you know me. and up this is. the f.c.c. actually can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and a brisk 6.8 seconds its top speed is electronically limited to 220 kilometers per

hour in germany the x c 60 starts at above 57 pounds near us. to says he usually likes direct steering but what this will has is just a bit too direct for him that said the steering isn't really too direct but combined with the high center of gravity and just seems that way especially when matching the wheel left and right on curves he says it feels like he's being shaken and that's something he doesn't really like. despite its compact measurements of around 1.9 meters wide 4.6 meters long and 1.7 meters tall the boy hallways almost 2 turns. to increase comfort while driving global offers and dish an acoustic leasing.

but much as doesn't find it to be all that quiet he says there's a lot of noise from the lower chance she went into arrives over and even roads are bumps so he thinks they could have done a better job for a car of this price. by them all attendees are prized. justifies that high base price with a multitude of standard safety systems like braking a system that includes human and animal detection lane departure warning and active steering assistance and evasion maneuvers. not just says that's not all and there are extra cost options like the pilot this is system here the volvo stays in wing and follows the pace set by the car in front and speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour. it's meant to make driving less stressful

especially on the highway. and he thinks that would be very useful in a company car or for people who are on the road a lot for their work. it's a feature that helps them get to their destination and greater comfort. it's on supply. and speaking of comfort the interior coffers a mix of aluminum light wood and leather finish to a high standard. mater says as beautiful as this car is the x c 60 is not a bargain you shouldn't really be reading and driving but here it says volvo x e 65 with the inscription this model has a base price of $57450.00 euros in germany there are quite

a few i dish no features in this particular car though so that he wouldn't be paying $6570.00 or even $75.00 but 79550 euros for it and this makes him wonder where this is justified for a car where the road noise is so noticeable. buys an. odd. formula east season is just come to an end. and we can look back on a very special race the formula eeg ram prix in the swiss city of burn an event that balances a passion for motor sport and the question of sustainability that's also how the drivers see it. coming in from their information because i don't think that you

should not go racing on the field say i want to be a mexican basketball but i think it's kind of cool so you know we are spreading the i think message which is good club environment in that the same time we enjoy having you know and to determine where i struck. sebastian boy me getting ready to race in his home turf in switzerland once again all drivers check out the route 2.75 kilometers with an altitude differences to 50 meters a tricky course. because i told you. in the simulator also listing the really special going back to what i've seen in this image of i did so very challenging circuit. with a new sun team blamey is one of the world's top formula the racers has already been world champion once and runner up twice. now he is in the spotlight at the 1st car race and burn for more than 65 years.

it's amazing to be to be here and there you know it's even closer to where i was born so i really try to enjoy the only way to get on the only think of all to try to enjoy it because i don't know if it's ever going to end. it's been a long wait even though car racing has a long tradition here this city circuit was legendary in the 1950 s. the best formula one drivers in the world competed here at the burn grand prix. but car racing disappeared from switzerland in the wake of motor sports biggest catastrophe over 80 people were killed in an accident at lamont in france in 1055 this was parliament then decided no more races in switzerland a ban that still applies today.

but switzerland made an exception for formula important because it wants to promote electric vehicles they have a long tradition in switzerland there has been electric public transport here for a long time along with car free inner city and environmentally friendly technologies in the past this was have repeated li shown forward thinking with their inventions switzerland wants to become carbon neutral by 2050 at the latest it's a goal that to supported by almost everyone. the i would be how i would feel. british now who heads engineering group a.b.b. switzerland says his company has a long tradition of electric mobility and its predecessor company electrified a swish tram line in 1006 so it's something they've been doing throughout their history and also when it comes to road traffic the world is developing very rapidly . so it could be typically swiss that the drivers arrived at the autograph session

by public transport less than 4 hours before the race. to raise. kind of guy but you know i try to be the best i can i'm going to try to to preserve. a name paul for you know in the klamath and environment from my side you know i do the best i can but they look pretty crazy. and yet with every on a graph it's a fashion when he sides with every selfie he also helps promote electric mobility. and then it's time to race. with all fully we can finish since god they're. going to use in top form in the 3rd to last race of the season but he knows the competition will be tough and burned.

last. week.

moves forward one position every time we me is still in 3rd place. but want to. cut. cut. cut cut. cut. cut. cut. but it's the french mensch honoring her and who's 1st across the finish line and at least is able to hold onto his 3rd place. to be nervous you know

because i was a bit scared. to do a mistake you know but that the end to finally i'm in a position is good. it's too soon to say if the formula even byrne has changed anything but 130000 spectators experience the power of the latest environmentally friendly technologies and seeing that even races with electric cars can be really exciting. and next time on drive and electric bubble car from switzerland we test the my. and driving with natural gas the sea at our own it.

is close to the toppling of the president. i am still trying to get a civil war i don't know the banana this united fruit company. the history of the u.s. corporation that determined the face of central america. unbeknown to us and republics and i'm 15 man spotty talking. i want to see what's going on the knowledge you see the birth of that you know what you have to do to fight it. the sharp microscope would have been but the knowledge it would come back at better and better over the years we will end the bad ol for example of the fire when in fact the both of molecular detail and therefore

a lot of the bottom of the pie did much more easily work speculate about what's going on in 2050 i can't imagine that you would understand the cause of god much better and then reduce the number of cancer cases there is the opportunity to live a much more forgiving life because many you see this shortcoming causes of aging and the counteract that the large degree at the what they had before long a period of life. robots are still in the development phase. but it's going to happen when they grow . will humans and machines be able to peacefully co-exist or are we on the verge of a robot collapse. if we just bumble into this totally unprepared with our heads in the sand fusing to think about what could go wrong then let's face it it's probably

going to be the biggest mistake in history. artificial intelligence is now spreading through our society. will experts be able to agree on ethical guidelines or will this technology create deadly new much thomas weapons systems. place robot collapse starts aug 14th on d w. this is d.w. news live from berlin and the war of words escalates in the gulf britain

threatening sanctions on iran after the seizure of a british flag for oil tanker on friday as foreign minister calls for quote prudence and foresight also coming up hong kong anti-government protesters are on the march again taking to the streets in their tens of thousands they're concerned about an erosion of their rights and freedoms. and ukraine's president who cast his vote in the country's snap parliamentary election nears the end you need for his party to win a majority so he can make good on promises of reform. by marrying evan steyn it's good to have you with us britain is considering imposing fresh sanctions on iran following the seizure of a u.k. flagged oil tanker in the strait of hormuz on friday the warning comes as audio

emerged of a tense exchange between british and iranian navy officers which was recorded moments before iran rate of the vessel. for weeks lead threatened to retaliate then late friday and revolutionary guard commandos. imperil made their move reading the british flagged oil tanker in international waters and forcing it to seal to iran. britain has demanded the release of the vessel and condemned what it called a hostile act. safety and security of british international shipping in one of the most important seaways in the world. that is why we are calling on iran to reverse this illegal we are looking for ways to deescalate the

situation but we are also very clear that we will do what it takes to ensure the safety and security or british and international. stand in peril now docked in the iranian ports of. its $23.00 crew said to be in good health but audio exchanges between a british warship and the iranian special forces moments before the capture reveal the tension in the region. obstruct. the angry stern or in. its own. words. i run into burt. security the number. of. international. incidents of the andresen of the coverage that got us out of. iran's foreign minister on a visit to venezuela is reported to view the seizure as for top following the

impounding of an iranian vessel in gibraltar earlier this month the grace one was seized by british forces suspected of breaching sanctions on syria for its part the u.k. insists it's upholding international law. for more let's bring in our london correspondent charlotte parts search charlotte we heard in that report just now u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt saying he's keen to avoid the u.k. being pulled into a conflict in the gulf but the. this is a significant escalation so how worried is britain about the risk of an open conflict. now senior military officials here in the u.k. are extremely concerned about this incident i mean we're talking about a british flag ship in the gulf being seized by iran and that is seen as a major international crisis those military officials warning today that the

government must focus on this iran crisis or. maybe otherwise slide into war and it is seen as a major international crisis senior military officials have also been saying that the government has been distracted by the leadership race by the leadership race about who is to replace to resign may as prime minister in just 3 days time this is ongoing boris johnson is running for this position as well as jeremy hunt boris johnson being a former foreign minister and jeremy hunt the current foreign minister and now boris johnson if you makes it into downing street he is somebody that knows the foreign office well he knows how to deal with a diplomatic incidents of this sort he is not a warmonger he's not reckless but he's also known to be unfocused not detail oriented so this is seen for some as concern on the other hand you have jeremy hunt

too has really been the face of this iran crisis in the u.k. he's been very present and he will probably most likely announce sanctions new sanctions on iran tomorrow among them acid freezing and that will he will announce new economic and other measures tomorrow so he's really been very present and all of this bush arledge is briefly if you can is this current international crisis expected to have an impact on the outcome of the vote for britain's prime minister. no it most likely won't because tomorrow the paper ballots will close 160000 members of the conservative party have been voting these past weeks on who will make it into downing street jeremy hunt johnson and this race really has been about domestic issues most foremost

breck said and whether the u.k. will leave the european union on october 31st or as johnson has sworn to that and that really resonated with the conservative membership so most likely we will see boris johnson moving into downing street number 10 on wednesday and most likely he will also keep his rival jeremy hunt on as foreign minister because of course at this time with an international crisis like this it would be good to have a little bit of stability in the foreign office are ideally a charlotte pots in london many thanks indeed. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world british airways and germany's flagship carrier live tongues are temporarily suspended flights to the egyptian capital cairo b.a. announced it would not be flying to cairo for a week of tons of resumed flights today the airlines say that the measure is

a security precaution but did not give a further explanation. in portugal more than a 1000 firefighters are trying to put out the wildfires that are sweeping through the center of the country strong winds have complicated efforts to control the blazes one village was evacuated as a precaution. to hong kong now where anti-government protests are showing no sign of letting up tens of thousands of people took to the streets on sunday for a 7th weekend in a row the rallies were initially sparked by a controversial extradition bill that bill has now been suspended the protestors are worried about an erosion of freedoms under chinese rule and they say they want free elections. our correspondent phoebe kong is monitoring the situation and she joins us now from hong kong for more so phebe the 7th weekend of protests in hong kong but it seems that this time police are not taking any chances we're hearing

about additional security measures what more can you tell us. yaml sphere of today is absolutely very its hands over the protests area right now what i mean here we can see the the team the rally is alive passing through like my back going to the government headquarters right now and of holies have deployed. hundreds if not thousands of police officers around hongkong island to pretend any like balance question. possibly. later on today and yesterday we know that the police they have arrested several people all of late they are suspected of producing some kind of life bombs and they are having some are highly explosive materials in the factory so 6 this is also one of the

reasons why the police say they are very cautious about what's going on today and certainly the governments and also some of the protesters they are worried about face will go out of control and after the rally the peaceful rally today. well it's safe to say that china is monitoring what's happening in hong kong very closely it's called the protests it's blaming the protests on extremists external forces but how much longer do you think beijing is going to tolerate this challenge to its authority over hong kong. yeah you're right this is definitely one of the. largest movements seen as hong kong was handed back to china screwy 9097 in 20 years ago and there are some rumors recently in recent weeks that saying that china china saffron they might have

a chance to deploy the chinese army to like to in hong kong to control the situation if the situations really they go out of control and things turn out and see this is our various says to move if the chinese government really decide to use de army to control the situation and this would further i ha hum const reputation they follow me and this is not something they've really used to do that because firstly how governments have to declare a state of emergency be before the chinese government they have deployed a. need to control the situation so in the short term this might not happen but in terms of flight politics and politically it is expected that the chinese government they will tighten their grip over hong kong photo because. obviously you know how some governments and the top leave them they have lost all the trust be anti-piracy

so it is very likely that for the government that the chinese government to protest ok great. all right t.v. con we have to leave it there thank you so very much for your reporting. ukrainians are heading to the polls today to elect a new parliament the cranium president vladimir is a lengthy call the snap elections after being sworn into office in may he's hoping this vote will consolidate his power and give him a stronger mandates to carry out reforms the former t.v. actor was elected on promises of tackling corruption and shaking up ukraine's political system but so far progress has been slow. well the lengthy is not the only showbiz newcomer trying to shake of ukraine's politics nick connelly went on the campaign trail with a new kid on the block musician turned politician she just love.

the 1st economy unless. there's grandma her arse. joining a regular team on her journey back to freedom. you know we're interactive documentary. on the record returns home long t w dot com tanks. this is the story of a fruit a simple fridge available all year round all around the world. this is the story of the fruit on which an empire was built one of the 1st multinational it's the united fruit company. that i get. in the morning i get. up when i eat up on a i know it's. ah this is the story of

a free which that changed the destiny of central america and gave its name to republics it became notorious it became the symbol of all that's wrong with american capitalism. this is a tale of economics and politics a story about globalization. this is the story of a fruit a simple front the but now on. her . it all began in 1871 when the government in costa rica asked a certain miner cooper keith from new york to build a railway. it was to link the caribbean coast to the high plateau changed through the jungle. but

nothing went as planned. the jungle was merciless. that one accident scorpions malaria 4000 men died and just 40 kilometers of railway track were completed and. found after a stock market crash loans dried up. costa rica could no longer pay its debts the railway remained on finished myna faced financial ruin. he didn't know then that fortune was right there at his feet in humid soil of the jungle in this simple fruit that fed his workers the banana.

our up. first the simple food of workers the banana appeared at the turn of the century at markets in the united states it was a prized delicacy expensive because it was rare and perishable. anyone who managed to transport it quickly enough before it could ripe and rot could turn it into gold. miner recognize that very soon he was exporting bananas and he was saved from bankruptcy. he struck an agreement with the government in costa rica he would finish work on the railway in return he asked for the right to use the line and receive ownership of large plots of land. land

to grow bananas. trains for transporting them quickly and cheaply. to the foundation of his fortune. in a 299 mine not entered a partnership with 2 men from boston he had the plantations and railways his associates provided a fleet of ships and a distribution network across the u.s. on march the 30 year $899.00 they founded the united fruit company. by working to promote international was a company which owns and controls assets in more than one country i would say it's among the 1st of the multinationals in misc toy. like primary commodity type of

of of business and it's really taking the process of call integration to quite a quite an extreme it's extent including you know constructing what's going to become one of the biggest shipping fleets in actually in in the world and integrating right down through to distribution in in the united states so it's really quite quite extreme at this time but there pioneering in a more fundamental way because this company is actually creating a market for going on us as well as pioneering how to deliver the product to the consumer so in 890 nobody in the united states really knew what a banana was basically. by the 1914 you can buy been on as in virtually all big american towns.

tasty nourishing fall of the. united fruit company had a flair for promoting bananas. mothers with families were the target the company published recipes and paid pediatricians to praise the bananas nutritional values. very soon americans could no longer do without them. 2 in huge quantities they were low in price and widely accessible. melbourne and i are. bad enough that kanaan is

a delicate storms floods and heatwaves regularly destroyed crops bananas threatened to become scarce. bad. bad my. cat. myna and his associates knew they needed to grow ever more bananas over a much larger area right across central america. former spanish colonies these countries had won their independence of the beginning of the 19th century but the united states regarded them as a natural extension of its own market. for the united fruit company this was one single territory completely given over to

growing by nona's. just the united fruit company itself kept on growing. it needed more is more than. just in panama and costa rica local farmers were evicted. by slashing the prices synonymous it grows small producers here with used to get up at another plantation into financial really step by step they took over hundreds of thousands of hectares of central america's biggest land. sadistic most of us here in california going on with their people is exactly what happened during the land reforms in britain from the 16th until the 18th century so. the british farmers were expropriated in the same way there is no other word for it and of

course immediately you the lands which they cultivated started to have fences put up around it. and by the 18th century they were forced to give up their workforce to the new factories. this was the origin of industry and economy as we know them today it was the beginning of modern day capitalism. did the united fruit company introduce capitalism to central america. it certainly had a specific vision of development and progress from the start. the railway with a defunct ancient for mine a group of kids huge wealth. for the young nation is of central america it was

synonymous with modernity. guatemala wanted sound railway but the country was in debt and when the price of coffee in its primary resource. collapsed it became insolvent plans to build a railway were put on ice. in 1983 quite a man approached the one person who could help miner cooper. he agreed to build a railway in return as usual he demanded land for banana plantations have the right to operate the railway for his their needs he also acquired control over the country's main ports and the telegraph network. in other words guatemala gave away to the united fruit company its infrastructure its economy and its future in exchange for

a railway. the company's empire grew to the detriment of the young nations in search of progress but with numerous sources and indicates. that people in the dirt of the poor helps line the pockets of the rich privatizing the entire public sector through that mechanism is the act of expropriation of common property that typically land for the profit of a limited few. to be one of their own. to banana growing nations in the caribbean also bound themselves one after the other to the company. each time the company managed to pay

little or no chances in the countries in which is operated draining their resources even more and assuring their dependents. case of the united fruit. had these wonderful tax free concessions and things that honestly practically every western company all over latin america and asia had the same at the same conditions basically they had the bargaining power they had the technological advantage and the money these places wanted them and the deal was very little taxes. in our age tax avoidance or tax planning as it as it's called in business course has become central feature of business globally and that's a quite different situation from when you know developing fragile states in the

1900 centuries were offering low tax low taxes now it's the core of business limited as. a multinational can easily avoid fiscal legislation in the sovereign states where it operates by using a method which is well known today transfer of prices where profits show up in the countries with the lowest tax levels of the uki so we prefer the this is a political issue we want this money to be given back to the public authorities to be used for the common good. or do we continue to allow our state's fiscal revenue to be siphoned off by multinationals so it's a global issue to society but also on the can it. has been known i had come a long way a simple fruit had led to an economic empire which became the full run out of a modern day multinational.

in his 1904 novel cabbages and kings the american writer oh henry. described a fictional. expression. united fruit is formed. by the laws of the.

segregated society. on the one side. graduates from the best east coast university. the foremen from the south of the united states who brought with. clay in the tropics. an isolated social. way of life.

a telegram dated 29th of may 919 to the united fruit company head office last lot of labor as a bad. mostly criminal. useless laborers from costa rica panama and nicaragua. continue sending jamaican labor and. the laborers on the plantations constituted the work force an entity which required organizing. the jamaicans will prize for their strength and enjoyment they were importing sentient speak in their tens of thousands from the island of jamaica and herded around from plantation to plantation.

can no coals were relegated to domestic chores. the hispanics viewed with suspicion in. the company preferred uprooted and isolated and don't file workers unions were forbidden. entire towns had to be built by the company 2 hours these workers sometimes large ones had to be drained. the company avoided taxes but prided itself on creating entire villages in the jungle. each house the workers and their families. build clinics and hospitals. open schools for the labor as children.

wages were often paid in vouchers which laborers could use only in the. please own shops to buy food clothing fun ature and tools. but although the company controlled every moment in its employees lives to month started to be made for a 6 day week and an 8 hour working day unemployment benefits and salaries paid in cash. on rest was spreading and banana land. in october 1928 was the son time mobster plantation in colombia went on strike. after negotiations failed workers occupied company buildings on the plantation.

the colombian government sent in the army over a 1000 people died. the suppression of the santa marta strike became known as the banana massacre an important historical event for colombia and central america the symbol of state submission with use of its public forces in the interests of a foreign company i was. from then on throughout the caribbean the united fruit company was simply referred to as the octopus.

in june 1929 miner cooper keith died in costa rica. he left behind a huge jump. with 100000 employees and over a 1000000 hectares of plantations. in 1910 he had bought up the british isles cena fifes and gained access to the european market at the time of mine a cooper death united fruit company controlled 75 percent of the global ban on a trade. a few competitors existed but the united fruit company tolerated them in order to avoid the u.s. laws on monopolies. the core young bél fruit company was the company's main rival at its head was samuelson marry. a tall and gruff man with a strong russian accent he was seen as

a visionary capable of making bananas grow on the most hostile that. in 1910 he had overturned the government of honduras which had tried to get his way and he didn't hide the fact he became a legend. his rags to riches story began on ellis island in 8092. the money started out at the docks of mobile alabama a port on the gulf of mexico. he saw the united fruit ships unloading bananas and watch the traders that's where. he learned to spot the fruit no one else wanted the right bananas which wasn't suitable for distant markets.

he made a bulk purchase for next to nothing. he had a wagon and over the following 3 days' journey through this. southern states he sold his entire stock at the railway stations there for his 1st trip here and $40.00. sam of the banana man had arrived. samuel the murray challenge the indicted fruit company until finally his competition became too troublesome for them. in november $929.00 he accepted a merger united fruit bought out his company korea merrill samuel received $30000000.00 worth of united fruit company shares. if this made

him one of the richest men in the united states and also united fruits biggest shareholder. in 933 he dismissed the company's board of directors and took singlehanded control as one magazine headline put it budget owner who swallowed the whale. the 6 years of age samuel summary was the uncontested king of bananas. that. was the been in power cannot stand still if it doesn't grow it fails. the 2nd world war froze international trade. but the post-war era brought the promise of reconstruction economic growth and new markets

for united fruits bananas summary found just the man to conquer these markets edward bernays a pioneer of his own kind and a master. of public relations and advertising. a van who could shape reality according to his client's wishes. in the 1920 s. edward bernays had persuaded american women to start smoking convincing them that the cigarette was a torch of liberty the instrument of their emancipation. back then he was for the powerful american tobacco company. in his book entitled propaganda edward bernays defended in his own words the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses by an enlightened minority. could it have been his uncle sigmund freud who helped him

understand so well beyond that in a consumer society advertising was the key to creating consumer wishes which could be nurtured stimulated at in for nice and. for samuel's of memory he made to the non other for you should the american dream. no you like but i am a. crime to keep it open and that i've come to stay and i may have arrived and in a certain way when their place when brown and i have a golden era the nanny state the best and i have a very very. chiquita banana became a household name. you know when i get my dear greenish way or looking mean when you are out for cooking and the man i am. glad they rarely generators

away and keep them and i am afraid that your religion treat apparelled manage ways to be refined and. eating habits really are to blame. in tricky to bananas ideal world every banana looks the same and tasted the same the company produced only one variety call mischa. tasty and hearty but therefore exportable demand kept on growing. but it is not enough to have the right conditions for the one i'm most curious. it is also necessary to provide because i'm free to this is good for an open issue.

on the plantations we can buy intensive monoculture to very much parasites we're spreading panama disease and yellows. chiquita banana swaying hips couldn't hide the reality the empire was rotting probably inside. samuel's the berry had tons of pesticide sprayed over the banana plants up to 30 times a year. those who volunteered for the job received extra pay they were known as their linen arrows the poisonous. very soon their skin took on a blue chip they fell ill doesn't start. the lifetime of a plantation fell from 10 to 3 years those infected by parasites were abandoned.

more jungle was cut down to create new plantations. it was as if united fruit had taken over the whole of central america. leaving. the union shop at you're not asking for d.c. 14 it's remarkable because it is a parable of the perverse effects of capitalism and the logic of accumulation after all the logic intrinsic to capitalism is the accumulation of capital of which there is no foreseeable end with the idea that the resources being used are endless. this time on many think that if this example shows that the company should have realized that doing this was not in its interests to get at the other parts of corporate marketing that you got people dying in a bid to maintain a machine which harms the environment and in regard to sustainability and the

economic sense is pointless if the economic news havea. level security in the end just have a self-perpetuating logic required someone who is in charge to step in and say stop this remasters we need to do this differently or that it can increase or come on it was. during the free flow of the religious impulse but in very radical in 1944 a revolution in guatemala put an end to the 14 year rule of the dictator jorge it will be called. the ones i don't well i've got your foot on the money if you're a dictator was a good friend of the united fruit company. who because saw himself as the reincarnation of napoleon. and fearing

a loss of power had to bend to the use of the words strike petition and union. he believed in forced labor for the poorest and the lowest wages possible. the contract c signed with united fruit a highly favorable for the company. with large nationals like the united fruit stored stability for its for its investments democracy is can be very unstable i mean there's a reason why multinational investment is very low in india and the reason is it's a democracy where there are multiple parties is always sort of checking do you always negotiating everything and that's that's a veritable. nightmare for multinationals and they prefer to or per se operate in

china for example where provided the communist party approves of your activities you have a high degree of stability and things will basically you won't run into any sort of trouble so i think that i think that's what multinationals are after some sort of security and stability and to import dictators or the communist party can give you can give you that. with its promise of workers' rights and a minimum wage the guatemalan revolution no longer made the country viable for united fruit.

in 1951 democratic elections brought ha kobo out of bins to park. out of bed and set about putting into practice the 1st promise of the revolution amanda reform program which would redistribute the land of the large scale owners to small farmers. but at the top of the list of large earners with more than 2 thirds of the country's agricultural land was the united fruit company. president of pens issued a decree to confiscate hundreds of thousands of hectares of land kept in reserve by the company. the indemnities were based on the company's low tax declarations which never revealed its real profits. never before had united fruit been challenged in this way.

as a young man samuels a murray had overturned a troublesome government this time with no mercenaries at hand he once again turned to his p.r. genius edward bernays and told him to deal with outer bands. sideways was again to employ his talents of creating his own form of reality. he set about making the protection of united fruit private interests in guatemala an issue for the u.s. government thanks. to. edward bernays was to create a fiction for 950 s. america submerged in the cold war. was out of acapulco talking about. how kabul arbenz was a social democrat nationalist and reformer. but nays depicted him as

a communist true to moscow a face of the red peril which threatened america and the free world. the names hoped to win over public opinion. he opened a central american information bureau organized press visit and suggested author calls to befriended publisher. sober nature really are understood it you know it's not what is happening it's the story you tell about what is happening that that is that is the reality and that's something he was greatly admired in study did not see germany who carried part truth to another. to another level and now we've

we see that in our present poured with. social networks and much else the story intensifying. with awards severe consequences for for democracy but we could already see where we're going to lead with episodes like tonight as united truett. the time was right for edward bernays power play in january 953 dwight eisenhower became the new president of the united states. tries in heart advocated a frontal offensive against communism. the place to brothers in keepers john foster dulles became secretary of state allen dulles head of the cia both had been legal advisors to the united fruit company. the

new ambassador to the united nations was senator henry cabot lodge a faithful lobbyist for the company's interests. his family were longstanding shareholders. they were all men with an open ear for edward bernays messages. in august 1953 and done as his cia introduced new methods in iran it overturned the government of mohammad mosaddegh who had nationalized his country's petrol industry he was accused of communist collusion. in the success of the operation in iran convinced the eisenhower administration the

cia was given a green light to intervene in guatemala. they operate. it was named success. edward bernays efforts were bearing fruit. the cia supported an opponent of the outer bands regime colonel custody your other mass. that he became leader of a national liberation army trained by the cia. the plantations of the united fruit company became really a guard base and. in june 1954 the capital quite a modest city was bombed. overpowered

how coble our parents resigned on the 27th of june in a radio broadcast. they used communism as an excuse. but the truth is different. in reality it's about financial interests. those of the united fruit company and other north american monopolies. they've invested in latin america they fear the example of guatemala could spread to other nations. after becoming president with support from the united states custody or out of mass cancelled the measures taken by the outer bands government. land reform was abandoned land was returned to united fruit. but neither stability nor security for life. after the coup quote from allah was thrown into

a civil war that continued until 1996. it left more than 100000 dead a 1000000 displaced and tens of thousands missing. the mire indians were among the victims there was talk of genocide. fearing financial loss the united fruit company blocked all reforms in guatemala taking into account the risk of fueling younger among the people. in january $959.00 cuban revolutionaries took advantage and overthrew the but eastern regime.

evan estell che guevara fidel castro's ally was in guatemala. he had been radicalized by the overthrow of the cold war out of ben's he no longer believed in reform but in revolution. ye. in 1960 fidel castro nationalized all north american businesses. the it was. a we i. this time both edward but days and samuel is a maori parness. somare died in 1961 his empire didn't outlive him for long the united fruit company disappeared in successive takeovers and mergers it was replaced by chiquita

brands. infected by disease the coal me share of bananas that had make united fruit rich disappeared at the end of the 60s. another banana emerged the cavendish. it had been developed by a small competitor soon to become an agricultural giant the new leader of the banana market don't. feel. like. according to latest reports the cavendish banana may in its turn be on its way out. joan employees tried in vain to sue the company for poisoning by pesticides.

connally is in kiev and joins us now for more nic president selenski brought forward the timing of these elections hoping voters will hand his party more power will that gamble pay off. could often in well if the polls it's believed it will all the latest polls going to selection showed his party servant of the people his new policy picking up somewhere around $45.00 or even more percent of the vote although coming just short of absolute majority so it looks like they will have to form a coalition to get their laws through parliament but this really is unheard of no ukrainian president so far in ukraine's in history has had such a big majority in parliament and it seems like his strategy of really ramming home that advantage while the honeymoon with voters continues has been the right thing to do and certainly here at this polling station in one of the middle class suburbs of kiev there is a lot of enthusiasm for the lenski even if it might be

a little less more dampened than it was in april back in the presidential election where it was a very stark black and white choice between the princess and selenski. as we all know celebrities background lives in the entertainment industry and you have to wonder why are voters turning away from traditional politicians. when michael does huge disappointment this country over the fact that ukraine really has failed to keep pace with its neighbors poland for instance was in a very similar position to ukraine in the early ninety's and is now far wealthier than ukraine millions of ukraine's working in poland so there's real anger at the political class has been in charge of the past 2 decades and a willingness to try new things out selenski is not the only showbiz. as it were there is also ukraine's most famous rock musicians who has set up his own party called hold us all voice and he looks set to bring a small group of m.p.'s into parliament let's have

a listen to what people at this polling station had to say and how they feel about those shoes showbiz imports to politics. i hope we'll see changes in this country when young people take we need to change the parliament from the bottom up line. we need to keep politics and show business entertainer should stick to what they're good at what is it because it was probably that whatever happens the country needs change whether or not that change is long lasting the kind of change we need just have to wait and see what. we need professionals not newbies in government many of them but you know the work of chicago's went on selenski and why both of them deserve a top job. i just hope they don't forget the more ordinary people so you can put as an argument that it's of course things that china. so let's get this straight ukraine could see a coalition government led by a former actor and a musician. that's right although they haven't made any formal agreements in that necessarily because the singer whose party is much

smaller would be the junior coalition partner has been very guarded about any kind of speculation on this but certainly. the comedian turned president is very keen to form a coalition with this party given his whole focus on a new generation in politics and new aesthetic bring new people in his alternatives form a coalition over all old guard politicians former president poroshenko the former prime minister so he doesn't have a great deal of choice and this is really the perspective that could be facing ukrainians as they go to work on monday morning. connelly in kiev thanks so much. it's been 50 years since one of the defining events of the 20th century in 1969 human beings 1st set foot on the moon the historic landing was watched on television by hundreds of millions of people around the world it's a spectacle that many who saw it never forgot let's now relive some of the iconic

3480 kilometers. and one. driver tour de france for women because so far it's a medal in a competition. jacqueline like it we want to show that women can accomplish extraordinary things too by doing something that may look a bit crazy getting people to listen to us because. their plan is to cycle the entire tour de france all 3480 kilometers exactly one day ahead of the met. her her. we're in brussels where the tour de france will start this year tomorrow these 13 women set off from here now they're making last minute preparations sorting out their helmets

jerseys and ships. like this. just to please everybody check out anyone need to digest plus. what they did this is a day this is all they go it's all natural ingredients these are food supplements. and that's just. clear florrie is the one behind the dawn on designer project which roughly translates to let's get women on bikes she's been doing the tour de france every years since 2015 no matter the circumstances. i don't know if you they were the 1st time we did the 2 or there were just 3 of us and we didn't know if we budgeted enough money on the trip we stayed the family or school to wind meals and washed our jerseys by hand every evening. when it was just on my you know it was do it yourself basically did you like that was

a real adventure in psychology all. things have become much more professional in recent years. now the women have a sponsor without this financial support they'd be hardly able to pay for their bike equipment and accommodation. none of the women are professional cyclists clara for example works as a sports teacher and organizes this competition in her spare time. to book with but i miss it all goodness in all this is exhausting but it's ok because it's my passion right now it leaves me little free time for anything else because i'm totally focused on this project. but in one or 2 years when they will hopefully be a women's tour de france it will have paid off cos as political psychos it's actually think of them book. in central brussels the morning before the race the women are preparing to set off.

tomorrow just a few 100 metres from here the belgian king will send off the men competing in the tour de france. and then somewhat unceremoniously they're off. unlike during the actual tour de france the roads are not blocked off to cars so they must carefully we in our traffic and there is much less pomp and glamour than during the men's race they have to deal with red lights on coming cars and other challenges. the women will cover a distance of 3480 kilometers cycling through the. the pyrenees and the alps climbing to an altitude of 2770 meters but it's not about setting new records all these women cyclists want is to be treated with the same respect as their male peers. i wish you could also use i started cycling as

a sport late when i was 24. and at some points i realised that i'd never seen a women's peloton on t.v. . even though there are plenty of women involved in competitive cycling but they never feature on t.v. i wanted to change that. some hardcore science friends have already gathered along the route to get a good view of the men's tour de france quite a few are impressed by the women taking on this challenge. 2 for the sake of the men get all the backing attention they could hopeful but the women don't receive enough. when i think that's why we're here to cheer them on good enough want to see. anyone up for even cycle along with them for part of the journey everyone's invited no matter their gender. i think they have a point why is their thought

a force for men and not for women showed it has room for both. cycling along with the women has become really popular now for security reasons only 100 athletes are allowed on the road at any one time when i know my mom has so many cyclists have joined us it's amazing that means our message is being heard and that's a fantastic feeling this official. 4 days in 650 kilometers later we're in sandy aid to sion of always mountains the tough section lies ahead. but thankfully claire is in great shape and up for the challenge in fact just 2 weeks ago she competed in the french cycling championships. but it's not a steep climb but it drags on. unlike the men who get nutritious snacks passed on to them on the go the women have to pull over to eat. that along with navigating road traffic slows them down considerably meaning that

they need almost twice the time then do for a day's stage. a small team of volunteers accompanies the women on their journey helping with preparations. this is when you can see this is the 2nd year now that oscar meyer and signed up to support them. he even took a break from his student job so we could be here but it's a race against the clock during these 3 weeks we help the women the more time they have to recuperate. carbohydrate have any food and fruit give them the necessary energy to get back on that bike or else that way so fast things are being go ahead all right but we still have half of the climb a head of us the toughest bit is still to come the negotiations there. and look for stability of really stink we'll see. every

day the women spend 8 to 9 hours biking that obviously takes its toll with muscle cramps and the like a common problem luckily they have got 3 physio therapist on the team travelling with them when needed they set up their massage tables in the hotel always in the evenings they're super busy giving the women are up down. yeah richard reeves the moment yesterday was a hard day we cycled for 215 kilometers and the last in line she would really painful reserves of our muscles got all tense but now i'm getting my toxins message out of my muscles so i'll be ready for tomorrow as they're not the rush right. there with their busy schedule they don't always have time for an evening rub down often they meet local sports clubs and even mayors after a day's cycling like here and on c. for example it tends to garner them admiration though sometimes people doubt

they'll pull off the whole tour if you think you'll make it to the end but we've been doing this for 5 years and so far only one participant ever gave up that's one out of 22 in the last 4 years 22 made it to the finish line. so there's no reason to believe the chain of us won't make it this year but that's. because if it were known that this woman always need to prove themselves because people tend to think that minimal capable this is. day 2 in the bush this year clare and her fellow female cyclists are supported by an international women's team with athletes from england the u.s. and australia. australia's pippa lyon did not mind travelling this far to participate. along the road her 11 month old son is there to cheer her on. since having him it's made it even more important to me to

just show to the next generation boys and girls that women can do exactly the same as men yes we can do things as foster is strong but we can do it and we can do it really well. each year there are more and more people calling for there to be an old fishel women's tour de france but so far these demands have fallen on deaf ears . even though back in the 1980 s. the organizers did one stage a women's race along with the mans but then rescheduled the event and that was the end of it christiane predominant charge of the tour de france doesn't want to tell us what he thinks about this instead he sends this statement mr perdomo already answered many times questions about the possibility of organizing during the tour de france a tour de france for women the answer is still the same organizing another race of the same time for 3 weeks is logistically not possible. there is some truth in this the tour de france is the world's 3rd biggest sporting

event 4500 helpers are needed just to prepare the route and almost 30000 police officers and firemen are on duty to maintain security and some say that staging another race just requires too much work. but i've read up on c.e.o. the president of the international cycling union thinks a women's competition could be a great success. so. we will have to work on a solution and examine the technical problems and circumstances i think we can address these challenges at all and i am convinced that women's cycling can appeal to a large audience if you know you and your female athletes will finally get the recognition if it is a. fact that the sport the man your ex called and the good news is that in 2014 the tour de france organizers did begin staging a one day women's race during the men's competition but for clare that's not enough

. i asked myself why should we be happy with a one day race when we are capable of going for days at the several stages of days and weeks one day race is not comparable to one that goes over several stages because over time cycling taints develop and it's something different for viewers to and from a sports perspective as well so i think women are entitled to a proper race. the. office and then also that was. for no much hard work still lies ahead of the cyclists even though they've mastered the 1st steep stages. there's still a long way until they reach their final destination paris and it will also take a long time until there's a proper women's tour de france but giving up is out of the question. look less and less like them for. this is the 5th time i'm doing this and i hope i don't have to keep going for another 15 months because it certainly is hard work and it gets

harder by the year for the info i mean besides i want to start a family at some point the good news is should i stop others will take my place course they mean it's all the polls. the film reality. shows things in a different lines. which are a. bit inventive see him in season play dissolving space into endless list celebs one of the greatest artists about time james to have a holiday on. next on d w.

james to rails are can be both there will ring any moving it's something you experience. at 1st glance this may seem like a projected image but it is in fact a space guns felt. viewers are gradually drawn into the space and they begin to wonder where my. and where am i. let's take a look at the ganzfeld series for instance and there's no focus really just no object or you or the other for interest i am the object. and that it's interesting what what are we left with when there is no no focus while or for oh no focus no

object no thing and basically we're we're entering this new. landscape which is the landscape with horizon and you see that when you get the white out while skiing you can see it all flying when you enter the cloud and after you gauge an instrument flying. also when you dive there are times when you don't know where that you know which way is up is just by watching your bubbles. and we are entering this new realm now and we're learning to navigate it so i'm

very interested in this new landscape and how we feel within it and how the light helps to build that space but what do you think what are we going to find out about ourselves in that new space. well for us well just balance is interesting because we use horizon so much for balance. and even on a boat you know you get seasick if you go down below and you don't have a rising you come up with on deck and you look at horizon you can study the stomach more easily so that we have been for a long time using this idea of horizon if you're a pilot and you do aerobatics at 1st you can feel this it deliberate and then. this actually. charges here you actually want to experience that you want to feel that and it actually has

a good feeling and that's when you know that you're you're beginning to be able to navigate this this realm this new realm he said that i am the object in your work and how do i see myself seeing how does that work well you are literally investigating your at your scene and it's not so much my seeing that i present to you and then you can go and. with that knowledge put it into your saying this is actually it's about you're seeing correctly as you experience it so you get a chance to discover it for yourself it's not a discovery of mine so much as it is becomes your discovery that's what i hope anyway. james to rail is also an experienced pilot and he made a key just covering one day while flying he became aware of the majestic scope and beauty of the sky. he has created sky escapes all over the world.

these chambers provide viewers with a new visual perspective on the heavens the universe and eternity. this is the museum in the n.d.s. mountains of argentina it was funded by the swiss entrepreneur and arts patron donald hess. the museum stands 2300 meters above sea level fully isolated from the rest of the world. in this place nature often stages its own light shows. when if you really fall in love with the sky as a pilot well certainly as a poacher you do because that. those who supports you and i mean it is this atmosphere that you are swimming in and of course it is life like water it is the

it has substance and it has changes as you see weather come or light involved with that atmosphere and that's what specially quite beautiful and people experience that coming over from the u.s. to europe as you wake up and you go into the the morning that you're headed in to her suppose you're up there with the best seat in the house. and but yours is good enough i mean off to the side it really is amazing what happens as you approach the met here and so i've always enjoyed that flight you say that you can even change the color of the sky and how do you do that i'm not changing the color of the sky but i'm changing your context a vision which give you a different color to the sky to make it any color you like in some of these very spaces but. that has more to do with you know how we form our

perception we we the sky is blue because we have to give it that color we awarded that color because we do that means that and then we can change it so. that's not difficult to do. but i mean the and people are surprised by that because essentially we feel we receive everything. that we're not a part of that we behold and we're definitely a part of that we behold so and that's one thing the artist can do is sort of give you the general cohen to tell you well you know you're making this reality within which you're live so it's nice to be aware of it. and it was from the air the james to reel discovered what would become his greatest artistic achievement. this is the road in a crater in arizona. to rail has built

a kind of observatory inside the crater complete with underground shafts and tunnels he's been working on this project for for decades and is still not complete here charlie experiments not only with light but also with sound and acoustics. the spaces are sensitive to light and sound. it's almost difficult to make them without because once you make $0.03 if you like. it's very bright to start so you can take your new call if you can take advantage of. a visit to the crater is an experience that almost overwhelms the senses. so this is something where you are within the earth but above it and so this you know taking self into this in the sky is something very very interesting you know all the faces i make have access to the sky and to read

a book. and you know one of things we rarely do is if you are in new york and you watch people from just the 2nd floor hardly anybody looks up. it's a mixed thing so part of this is just sort of redirect your vision and also make you realize there's that whole world that's above us and that we have access to it . to day to real lives and works in flagstaff arizona a town with a population of about 65000. well hello. my. flagstaff is cold in winter and hot in summer. james terrelle was born in los angeles california about 600 kilometers west of here . i guess but i'm. doing fine. i think it must be

something special about the life of california how did you perceive flied when you were a child. well children oriental light and you do that in the crib and here you will look to it and something that really helps orient to this. and i mean california is not that different than say south of france or or italy or spain. the thing that is very interesting though is a lot of people who freesheet light are from areas where it's it is not as prevalent and more precious and so you know you have costs of all you have turner amazing very prescient artists just for david friedrich the dutch school all the painters of light from norway and sweden. and paraphrased who were came to germany to study art. you know where it's more

appreciated were more precious. when james tarell frames light as in a painting he's following a centuries old tradition of western art. from the baroque period to modern times artists have been captivated by the power of light. light can bring a scene to life increase its dramatic effect and focus the viewer's attention. in the 17th century the use of light transformed the world of art. for the 1st time artists used like to highlight their subjects and not just saints but mere mortals . and even the artists themselves.

they created a world of sharp contrast between whites and dark. their renaissance sought to bring light into darkness using science and reason to counter the influence of the church and religion. rembrandt's the anatomy lesson of dr nicholas tulip is the quintessential renaissance artwork the participants are gathered around the corpse of a criminal and the body is bathed in light. in the 18th century the english painter william turner took the use of light to a new level in his work the slave ship the sky and sea the low. light floods the canvas and rulers contrasts turner also made use of dissolves and fading effects which he copied from early photographs.

in the 20th century photography became the preferred medium for experimenting with light. gifted photographers like man ray made substantial contributions to this art form. one of today's most important artists care how it reached there has found new ways to use light his still life skull with candle plays with our perceptions. the images are interesting lurd shimmering nothing is as it seems. james to rail uses many of the same effects in his works images to blend into one another playing tricks on the viewers imagination. in college to real studied psychology mathematics and astronomy these disciplines are reflected in his work a sophisticated attempt to alter our sense of perception one might said you are

even more than an artist you're a kind of loss of her a spiritual guy maybe a scientist how do you see yourself as an artist i mean as i say this is not things that inform science i'm informed by a fun and interesting point is that life is also used in para p. and one of your pieces called healing light so is it kind of a healing experience or do you try to balance it in terms of the programs use if you stay in there some version so that it has kind of all kohler but you know the unit or system use those is cued off of exposure for lloyd. and so people call that the shocker is you can just call it anything system that's fine but it is something that is physically us and so we do orient to these things and do it healing from that i was wondering and to what extent at least experience a spiritual i mean life is also

a universal symbol for the divine each and every human being is and artists have been involved with religion since day one. making work that supports the rhetoric that comes from the priesthood or or not. but you can see that all the altar pieces and everything here and in europe i mean it's quite amazing what artists did. and how they were involved with the church and also a problem for the church it seems that you were inspired by the need to take meditative quality of light because you know you do go inside to greet the light in meditation and that you will get that visual purple and you'll get the beginning of that as you enter meditation so we are followed by light we carry it within us so there never is no life. even when you're inside. you know i would

never of ation cell you'll find that there is light that just close your eyes you'll enter a life filled realm of eventually this is i mean we do have this life inside and. and. you know this is a visual mantra. chuck rosen visual mantras james to rails works reflect his interest in eastern mysticism but they're by no means esoteric. his parents were devout quakers a form of christianity that believes there is good in everyone and that we all have a direct connection to god. sitting in silence in quaker meeting to rail learned his child to come to a place of peace in the quiet. he was raised to find the divine light in every person.

who says the door to cemetery in central berlin philosopher georg hale and author and playwright virtual brecht are among those buried here. a few years ago terrelle transformed the chapel here with an installation that took full advantage of the twilight hours. a room without shadows filled with changing colors. the altar is a cube of acrylic less. outfitted with l.e.d.s. that make it a central source of light. very much in line with the traditional christian concept

of god as creator and the source of divine light. here unlike into roles guns filled works the contours remain sharply defined so that viewers maintain proper orientation. to. the space in which one remembers the souls of the dead. christians are invited to reflect on their belief in eternal life. some may find comfort in the idea that life will not end in darkness but in light light is present at the beginning and at the end of life. or last i'd like to know if there's a light that you love and maybe a life that you hate. well. i mean i appreciate it all i don't have any that are. one of the things i like to do is to give. light like i've seen in the dream. this

is basically a different light than we normally have they were normally involved with it in a conscious awake state you know what this is like come from in the dream is that memory well. part of it could be memory yes that is replayed but then the truth is we are often involved in experiences that we find later. in what we call the conscious await the waking state or life. as in deja vu so. it's not all memory. which is quite interesting in curious and. has the light come from a word does the light come from in the dream where does it come from. and it. is something we definitely experience. and that is powerful the dreams are most powerful when we have the dreams and color of course and often when they are this

kind of dream it is not from memory but from. experiences that are to come the lucid dream is quite amazing and most people have had one but that's not just having one it's having one that they remembered because we often wake up and from the moment of awakening the dream is leaving us and so we're trying to hold on to it but you know we can do that a bit with art by making life it's very similar to how we see light in the dream. because it's not know how we not only see light. but we're but if you have this flat unknown 2 of which i find very fresh no. great thank you very much you're very welcome. gives us a key that unlocks the door to the subconscious mind is installations are like finding yourself in a vivid dream in which spatial boundaries are blurred. light like music has the

power to alter our perceptions of space. to the point where we perceive to a limited extent a sense of infinity playing the arab the leg. the end.

president volodymyr selenski called the snap elections after being sworn into office in may he's hoping this vote will consolidate his power and give him a strong mandate to carry out reforms the former t.v. actor was elected on promises of tackling corruption and shaking up ukraine's political system but so far progress has been slow. connelly is in kiev and joins us now for more nic president selenski brought forward the timing of these elections hoping voters will hand his party more power will that gamble pay all. could often in well if the polls it's believed it will all the latest polls going to selection showed his party servant of the people his new policy picking up somewhere around $45.00 or even more percent of the vote although coming just short

of absolute majority so it looks like they will have to form a coalition to get their laws through parliament but this really is unheard of no ukrainian president so far in ukraine's in history has had such a big majority in parliament and it seems like his strategy of really ramming home that advantage while the honeymoon with voters continues has been the right thing to do and certainly here at this polling station in one of the middle class suburbs of kiev there is a lot of enthusiasm for the lecky even if it might be a little less because more dampened than it was in april back in the presidential election where it was a very stark black and white choice between the princess and selenski. as we all know celebrities background lies in the entertainment industry and you have to wonder why are voters turning away from traditional politicians. when michael does huge disappointment this country over the fact that ukraine really has failed to keep pace with its neighbors poland for instance was in

a very similar position to ukraine in the early ninety's and is now fall wealthier than ukraine millions of ukraine's working in poland so there's real anger at the political class has been in charge of the past 2 decades and a willingness to try new things out so linsky is not the only showbiz. as it were there is also ukraine's most famous rock musician stuff like that uku has set up his own party called holes ovoid and he looks set to bring a small group of m.p.'s into parliament let's have a listen to what people at this polling station had to say and how they feel about those issues showbiz imports to politics. i hope we'll see changes in this country when young people take we need to change the parliament from the bottom up line. we need to keep politics in show business entertainer should stick to what they're good at what because he was probably think that whatever happens the country needs change whether or not that change is long lasting the kind of change we need just have to wait and see what. we need professionals not newbies and government i'm one

of them actually putting out the welcome to couples when school is a car joke on selenski and my both of them deserve a top job so i just hope they don't forget about ordinary people so you can get as you are going to this of course these are shining through the so let's get this straight ukraine could see a coalition government led by former actor and musician. that's right although they haven't made any formal agreements and it didn't necessarily because the singer whose policies much smaller would be the junior coalition partner has being very guarded about any kind of speculation on this but certainly . the comedian turned president is very keen to form a coalition with this party given his whole focus on a new generation in politics and new aesthetic bring new people in his alternatives form a coalition over all old guard politicians the former president bush and co the former prime minister so he doesn't have a great deal of choice and this is really the perspective that could be facing
