4:19 pm
this week on the real story. well really juice could soon be underwater. berlin's a lot gardens for you see vixen. but we start in russia where a new highway used to be built through an area in the south of moscow the problem during the soviet era radioactive waste was dumped here locals around environmentalists are sounding the alarm dangerous levels of radiation that's what nuclear physicist andreae shut off his radiation counter tells him every time here moscow. pauli metals factory started dumping nuclear waste on this hill in the 1940 s. and fifty's when the area in the south of moscow wasn't yet part of the city so far the radioactive material is contained under a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight
4:20 pm
through the nuclear waste. they might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account that is contaminated they will be released into the atmosphere and anyone who breathes that song will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs. he has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals. local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their long he says i just don't know if you know that this nuclear waste is here but they aren't going to touch it then it's not to worrying but knowing that they're going to build a right here and all this waste could slip down the hill that's really scary. says locals have always known about the nuclear waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. of view from above shows just how urban the area is the nuclear waste site is slotted
4:21 pm
between a park and moscow's main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe and effective but the people of both new would move them which soil will not be disturbed as support for the flyover will be built here its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface we've carried out studies of the sort of that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm there and the road went touch the ground here but it could be more to put people in the area don't believe the author already they recently held a protest against the highway. which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesn't care about the signs here read road of death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. in their lives in the high rise apartments across from the plant construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway
4:22 pm
since march. so. from my point of view they're committing a crime against the residents who live here i don't know whose interests are driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. when the frustration here is palpable but the other protesters want to keep fighting with petitions and protests to make sure their homes and their city stay safe. our next story takes us to the u.k. where residents of the world's coastal village of sorrow are feeling the effects of climate change the sea is growing ever closer you know residents are being told they will have to leave their homes. mike russell has the sea right on his doorstep he's a dedicated angler who's lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years. right now the irish sea is bright and shiny but the people here have seen their share of
4:23 pm
storm surges. my house stands right behind this dike it's held firm against wind and tide so far. it's hard to realize that. with rising sea levels all this could be gone. they say in as little as 50 years it's hard to believe. fairborn is a seaside village of about 8000 people and say the experts doomed by climate change several 1000000 pounds have gone into building downs and dikes to protect the houses from the say. but now the welsh authorities are throwing in the towel and calling on the villagers to find new homes. i when measuring the sea levels in the area across the north wales coast and we are finding evidence
4:24 pm
that sea levels are rising it is a reality and so before any catastrophe happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that we're talking to them and involving them in the solutions. but what solutions can there possibly be mike and his partner see their lives their home and lots of money at stake quite amazing the situation where it's not a symbol for them as pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere they feel that the state has left them on their own 25 years in the future the fact is that they have no answers for us they can't tell us where to go to move us they can't tell us when they're going to move us there is no financial support no compensation or tool and the sting in the table to that is if the insist that everybody moves out. they would expect mike to lie to pay for the demolishment arts his hopes. it's true that fairborn won't be the only town to face
4:25 pm
imminent danger in coming years. over 30 communities in wales a dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. and infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also at risk climate experts say it's a massive financial time bomb for britain's coasts i the residents of fairborn complain that everyone simply passing the buck it's mike and angela say the prospect of a forced evacuation is always hanging over their heads they're just hoping they can stay in their current house as long as they possibly can. come. it is drowning in plastic waste. themselves are responsible for much of it dozens of illegal containers filled with plastic waste from overseas were recently discovered there the trash will not be sent back to where it came from.
4:26 pm
the water in this dream can hardly move it's full of plastic and it isn't an isolated case. plastic piles up on phnom penh streets in fact cambodia's capital city is littered with plastic waste. plastic tied starts to rise at 5 am in the street markets it's the packaging of choice for these traders and it spreads across the city as their goods assault and distributed discarded plastic is simply swept to one side and whatever is left there just days there. was. the market traders all use plastic because it's best fish and vegetable merchants use plastic because it protects their goods from rain and damage. with a population of 5000000 phnom penh accumulates 3000 tons of garbage every day
4:27 pm
waste disposal workers simply overwhelmed by the amount. and because there is no kind of rubbish separation it's all mixed up gangs of scavengers go through the waste at night to find any recyclable plastic waste. in cambodia only about 20 percent of plastic waste is recycled the rest ends up in landfill or strewn around the countryside. but that's not all $83.00 sea containers full of plastic waste have been found at the port of ship. they were there for months without being picked up so customs of dorothy's opened them to find that they were full of illegally imported plastic waste from the usa and canada customs of dorothy's want to take action against the perpetrators. it turns out you got rich. so you can.
4:28 pm
fine tune a company come with a company. cambodia can't cope with even more waste coming from abroad the country already looks like a garbage dump in many places and while some private initiatives are trying to tackle the waste even they don't know where to put all this plastic. our last story takes us to germany for many berliners there are a lot of garden is like a 2nd home but these green spaces are increasingly dangerous they are supposed to make way for housing in schools which the german capital also desperately needs. if you know the. lovely these allotment gardeners ahead be when their tomato plants their fruit it's paradise to the clothes who have been tending watering and
4:29 pm
harvesting for 32 years. and. we're actually here every day almost without fail when we're done with everything else the housework all the doctor's visits you can find those here who. don't want to hear from you for the clue what's the plot a half leased from the city is their 2nd home they pay 300 euros a year for it many other hobby gardeners do the same there are 70000 such allotments in building alone more than any other european city. they klute plot as part of an allotment colony that is surrounded by apartment buildings the land is sought after the city wants to build a school here and the garden is designated to be torn up to make room so will their black berry hatch be dug up by a bulldozer but the clothes are very upset. and the limbs would be losing
4:30 pm
his quality of life. i don't know what we'll do that a moment wisely can only. do a few other lockman colonies also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city cease no other option and to separate fires some of the green spaces. void and i get the mission because we don't want to make life difficult for allotment garden but will need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that needs base for schools daycare centers and sports grounds kind of few allotment gardens about one percent did have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for bison was the kluges intend to fight. they have joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. they agree that schools are
4:31 pm
important but feel they should not necessarily be that here. the allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once before now it could completely disappear at the end of a 102 year old green oasis. fund i mean it's tradition to reconstruct old news. this year new voters year celebrations are going to. find out what's behind it and what to do join the.
4:32 pm
next g.w. . the. legal back is a sprint. it is a must see for anyone who loves only world charm. already full of the specificity of the. joining us as we explore. back. to 60 minutes on d w. he takes it personally. with all of the wonderful people in stories make the game so special. for all true for. more than football on line.
4:33 pm
it's the news it gives out of this world that we'll find out more about that at the top of the show. hello and welcome to another exciting edition of your i'm max i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we have coming up on the program. hero max reporter max numero gives it his all at the highland games and the world's oldest poor man's club meets up inflation shy. but 1st we start off with an adventure from outer space now 50 years after the
4:34 pm
american astronaut neil armstrong became the 1st man to walk on the moon. mystery has once again been made in terms of space adventures and this time by an italian astronaut luca parmitano played deejay for a night from the international space station where he's currently based now his vibes were beamed down to a party boat just off the island of and we were there to experience it firsthand. the talian astronaut luca parmitano tries his hand at d.j. 400 kilometers away from earth and people groove to his beats on the deck of a cruise ship anchored off the spanish island of the bees are. the tablet serves as part of the tunnels mixing board. the. first time ever d.j. from outer space. was impressed that i mean is up there somewhere and i think
4:35 pm
you could tell that he's an astronaut not a d.j. but he didn't 0 gravity perfectly but how it felt. it's no wonder that nuclear doesn't sound like a pro he only had his 1st lessons shortly before takeoff from teaching english book at the european astronaut center in cologne the european space agency hopes that this kind of action will get young people more interested in space travel. this pretty crazy so the question for you is do you choose the museum that have the same . d.j. to shoot works for frankfurt based label big city beats which helped to organize the 5 day mediterranean cruise. the world's best deejays entertain the passengers a day and night. live link to the international space station is the highlight. station this is houston are you
4:36 pm
ready for the event. here. i am ready for the event so i would love for the world where one common language that everybody could talk because i believe that communication is one way to solve problems and a language that everybody knows and everybody understands and nobody fights about their idea about. and then the luca parmitano takes the ship's passengers on the galactic journey. in the end his coach detailer shook his happy. people he did a great job he got some tracks from me and played just the right ones. then he did a somersault and started clapping upside down and weightless. and everyone clapped along i didn't think it would work but he really set the tone i take off my hat to
4:37 pm
it. so what lasting effect will his 1st d.j. act in space have. enjoyed sharing the experience. with the people if you go to space and intimidated by such strong emotions for life. that we feel everybody should feel this once you die because when you see from space it's beautiful it is super beautiful and you want everybody to leave this when you get inspired by space you get and power to do everything even better than before including music including d.j. so we should take these eggs. no matter whether professional deejays will be jetting off to space in the future or astronaut spin records on earth this event was clearly out of this world.
4:38 pm
certainly was all right coming back down to earth now since millennia man has always felt the need to test his physical strength hence the olympics or on a much smaller scale the highland games in scotland this is an event that is truly a throwback to another era where men hurl tree trunks carry heavy stones or they throw heavy weights all in a competitive show of strength and endurance your max host maxim errol decided to test his mettle by taking part in a highland games event and here's a closer look at how he measured up against the rest. when trees are flung through the air boulders carried around weights flying through the sky and rain falls in buckets it's summer time in scotland.
4:39 pm
is the perfect weather for a scottish tradition i'm in air at the highland games and i'll be facing off against some of the toughest men in the country and of course that requires a certain dress code. a traditional scottish kills is borne by all performers and competitors every summer around 80 communities across scotland host highland games the village of west of edinburgh has been holding games since 871 there's running cycling and plenty of heavy lifting. it's a tradition deeply entrenched in scottish culture charlie merry is the president of the scottish highland games association. max. i'd like to loathe a little bit more about the history of the highland games whether the whole began. as they would be more than those in years. i believe it would be from the kleins
4:40 pm
the. one with the. strongest man crush there's one of those. strongest go with the intervention. aside from selecting boreas clan chiefs also sort out dancers and musicians nowadays it's all about the owner the strongest compete in 6 so-called heavy events for instance weights for heights where the aim is to throw a 25 kilo weight over a bar the scottish hammer throw using a cannon ball attached to a wooden shaft and in the cave are tossed at trimmed trees flipped over on his facts. ideally landing in a straight line not an easy task. i don't seem to have a go but 1st one of the judges also we will give me a crash course in the hammer. so what is the technique well 1st of all across the street you don't get it. like that and then over in the fall. that would be
4:41 pm
very well just because a city street. was good. there you go so i was out for a 1st go i was very good. you didn't fall into your ball and. lose again but sauce is quite a bit trickier this one is the lightest weighing 25 kilos and is used only for practice to getting into position and keeping the balance is hard enough then it's time to run. my 1st attempt at leaves quite a lot to be desired. it's not a walk in the park my rivals are professional athletes and weight lifters. so how do you train for the game for. a local sports field let me go down and basically threw is about as much as only if you go to a burzum i've got no telegraph pole. such
4:42 pm
a shame i lost my telegraph pole with nothing but my crash course to prepare me it's time to have a go. without proper boots the whip grass doesn't give me much grip. my throw fails to impress. the day's best measured in that 129 feet good thing no one bet on me winning so it wasn't as if i think it was. my next challenge is to toss that cable that has to be flipped over and land. straight like a clock going from 6 o'clock to 12. my rivals offer me a sticky treece that concoction for extra grip. so my fingers are all sticky now ready for the cable toss the injury risk is a little bit too high so i can only go on a practice table because i know world championship quality.
4:43 pm
is a real me now and it's my last chance to make a good impression. perfect so i can't believe it only 12 o'clock will be here with the smallest paper available still who can say they'd like to treat the ensuing awards ceremony the judges drop me a month prize for my efforts it wasn't enough for a proper prize and i've really learned that you need to be a real athlete to compete at the highland games but i had fun anyway and i'll definitely have another go in the future. perhaps i'll make a habit it's of working out in a kilt. or a problem with the real the. hour i way to go max and you can see more of max's highland games adventure on r d w your own max you tube channel. well believe
4:44 pm
it or not britain's queen victoria was a huge fan of the highland games and their popularity soared in the 1900 century thinks in part to her now if she were alive today she would be celebrating her 200th birthday this year and the southern german city of coburg where her husband albert was born is commemorating the occasion in royal fashion. queen victoria the most powerful woman of the 19th century and her husband prince albert out for a stroll in bavaria. the city of coburg hired these lookalikes to mark the couple's 200th birthday. this is what it might have looked like when they visited the city because prince albert was born and raised in cobol. victoria and albert still have descendants in the city their great great great grandson is prince hubertus of socks

criticism for this something. they are a lot of the protesters you say that really becoming increasingly violent is that one thing all these demonstrations wanted i cheated on which is to. run the place of the folks that was in one of their initial response but it's now become independent investigation into police action one thing out that crisis in particular with one young process that was damaged apparently by rubber bullets during the clashes and what we're hearing today it is possible that another person may also has been hit in the i with the rebels but if we call them sent out that we all think we're poor social media want to protest to being is taken into an ambulance that is acting like this which are anything like the anger among many of the prices. yes yesterday thousands of people form a human chain around home call now that could be described as a peaceful protest couldn't it. well up until today we have seen that it's

relatively peaceful. week especially from day one and i think 1700000000 people. created that he could. put it off the boil all thing that you find in clashes between police and great it went around the wild beast thinking. that if they were . led by a lot of. the lot of the including that every. human chain that would write a. 100000 feet taking in the right that. today very good. all right some conflicting messages that as you say striking scenes there from that human chain shell that shell some pill in hong kong thanks so much heads of state governments along with hundreds of protesters are gathering for this weekend's g.
5:08 pm
7 summit in france leaders of 7 leading industrialized nations have started arriving now in the french resort town of beer it's essential focus is how to tackle inequality but the tit for tat dispute between the u.s. and china over trade is already proving a distraction and huge forest fires raging in the amazon are also likely to overshadow the toolbox now the 3 day meeting is taking place amid showoff differences over a clutch of global issues that risk further dividing a group of countries that are already struggling to speak with one voice and launch antiglobalization protests are expected to further disrupt the proceedings. and i'm joined now by the japanese band they get he's in on di just along the coast from the summit say about there's an awful lot going on tell us what is on the agenda this weekend what's happening today. both president michael
5:09 pm
jones 2 presidents of course as a global leader who can tackle global issues and he put many things on the agenda of the g. 7 the wildfires in brazil the fight against inequality boosting the fight against climate change and all sorts of things and on the weekend also must have protests expected against the g 7 group. protesters are already gathering. there's a march blend today and the marches today also a little bit closer to be or it's on the it actually is 28 kilometers away from being written on sunday protests will also try protests of at all to try to get into the red zone the cordoned off part of here is where the g 7 actually takes place. so it's a huge challenge for the french president who is also experiencing opposition here in france the yellow vests are protesting against him already since last september ok so a loss on the agenda now you mentioned the wildfires in brazil mccaw is leading the
5:10 pm
international charge against brazilian president diable sanaa is calling for action to be taken on the fires raging in the amazon come back here in a 2nd let's take a closer look at that fast. these are the worst fires the amazon basin has seen since records began in 2013 the dry season is only just beginning in many places it hasn't rained in weeks brazil's president has been blaming and he has with no evidence he now says the blazes may have been started deliberately she predicted modestly to clear a cyclist or car drivers out there who stop at the side of the road and walk far as that structure over 100 meters that's common. amateur footage shows fires along highway 3. media reports say families organized what they called a day of fire earlier this month. satellite images show dozens of fires were started on august the 10th farmers often destroying rain forest for cattle grazing on thursday both narrow and france's president manuel michael exchanged critical
5:11 pm
comments on twitter france says it will oppose an e.u. trade deal with several south american states and that's brazil takes action and both france and germany said that address the issue of the amazon at the upcoming g 7 meeting as it is going to go when the g 7 gets together this week and the chances of the firm belief that this current crisis in the amazon rainforest has to be dealt with. so the french president definitely has the chance on the saud. bus in our house call discussing the amazon without representatives from the region colonialist but with more leaders calling the blazers an international crisis the fires appear firmly on the agenda. all right so a huge topic but of course these fires a just one of the issues likely to be on this weekend's agenda tell us what other important issues also will be discussed. these 7 would lead the protests which i saw here know the disarray the disagreement within the g 7 is so
5:12 pm
big that they can also be blown up by for example the us president donald trump who is opposing just everything the g 7 stand for us to so far. trade international cooperation fight against climate change is against everything the other 60 does want to agree on and that's it's why president mccall said there will be no final conclusions normally do 7 ns was a consensus about global issues this time there would be no consensus so that's a precaution to prevent that mr trump can blow up the whole thing and this is the 7th and in this agreement that's clear already now came just agreement disarray as ever with previous g 7 summits protests have been planned we can see the protesters behind you in on die what's that plan how much disruption or they likely to bring to this event. or the protests to think they can gather 10000 people
5:13 pm
here i doubt this these crowds are not huge that 10000 policemen to keep them at bay. might be that the black bloc the more militant protesters will try to march on beer it's later on but that is not for sure we don't know actually what will happen over the weekend but for sure the protests will not be as huge as they were for example at the g 20 summit in hamburg 2 years ago all right ben to get in on di in france thanks so much. ok let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today north korea has again launch missiles and defiance of international efforts to denuclearize the country the missiles are thought to be short range ballistic rockets light means they were fired off north korea's east coast into the sea today's launch is the latest following stalled disarmament. with the u.s. . and the u.s. supreme court says justice ruth bader ginsburg has undergone treatment for

5:15 pm
there's not a lot of breathing space on the ocean viking where migrants waited for almost 2 weeks at sea water and other supplies have been running short but now the ordeal has come to an end the people onboard have been allowed to go ashore in malta they will then be distributed to various e.u. countries that have agreed to take them in as a reason that's not he as of ours we feel relieved that a humane solution has now been found for the 356 people on board the ocean viking. but this can't stop here i must find a way to stop situations like this from happening again. the ocean biking is run by the aid organizations doctors without borders and s.o.s. mediterranean their crew has been reporting to berlin via video conference and they described distressing conditions on board and passengers suffering from severe trauma we have also spoken to and treated injuries oh those who have experienced or during their time. at the hands of traffic groups and criminals they
5:16 pm
have not been exploited been subjected to what we can only describe as torture the ngos believe that despite the dangers at sea migrants will continue attempting to flee across the mediterranean and as long as they do so the ngos have said they will continue their rescue missions. because this year alone by the middle of august almost $600.00 people have died on the central mediterranean route. and we will not just stand by and watch while people drown who could have been held and who need to be rescued. for the passengers on the ocean viking the nightmare is over for the time being but the drama of the rescue at sea is not over in the mean time a solution still has to be found for each individual ship. now a russian robot astronauts is currently floating alone in space off to trying and

future is smart it's entirely interconnected that will regulate traffic save energy 5 crime assisted by big data and the internet of things brave new world or rather a surveillance nightmare what because mosfet is look like and do we really want to live there autopsies a day on ship. more than half of the world's population lives in cities and this number is steadily rising resulting in enormous challenges more people want traffic more pollution more energy consumption more water usage more waste smart cities are supposed to help cope with these problems projects are popping up everywhere for instance in nigeria south korea india or malaysia a livable city that can think for itself how does this work like this for example. visions of the future this is
5:20 pm
a smart city as imagined by tech companies and urban planning is regular street lights are replaced by small poles which connect to other internet of things devices and provide broadband thanks to driverless cars accidents hardly ever happen. and drones and robots deliver goods even coffee. in this future city solid grows underground at the urban farm. fomented and virtual reality make processes more efficient. one example is that fire. can be assisted by the control center and tech helps to find and correct system errors to prevent damage before it happens. sounds fantastic but in order for these ideas to become reality technical preconditions are essential a central role for so the new mobo communications standard 5 g. it's the engine for the internet of things and enables interconnected
5:21 pm
infrastructures on a grand scale an expert on smart cities is your. he's a researcher at the institute for technology management at the university of st gallen and has published a book with guidelines for cities that want to become smart we want to know how do i make a city. and why. we want to improve people's lives. that's how i would summarize the goal of a smart city. in order to do this it's important for citizens to be able to properly explain what kind of city they'd like to live in. that's the starting point and we can begin designing a smart city based on those demands. imagine you're the mayor of the city and want to turn it into a small city you'd have to consider the following. you need to make your city interconnected by adding census data for instance to cause
5:22 pm
the streets to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring station stations throughout the town. the smart city is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. for the most part that means mobility systems housing system. administrators systems energy systems education systems and so on anything affecting citizens in their everyday lives can be assigned a digital shadow. that simply collecting data is patient big data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared. for usage you can be. driving restrictions when the air is. anything is possible interconnected spots.
5:23 pm
to build a small city one must do 3 things connected devices collect data and assess this data to find solution for the citizens but how do i benefit from the smart city here. in. the city says. taxes by using resources more efficiently with the help of sensors public spaces are only irrigated when they're too dry. the garbage bins are only emptied once they're full. in helsinki garbage trucks have become obsolete waste is transferred to underground collection points without noise or pollution. in rio de janeiro a smartphone app is enabling residents to shape their surroundings the app smart favela create a 3 dimensional avatar of the shantytowns when city planners come up with new ideas these can be looked at on the app and then citizens can vote on them.
5:24 pm
in palo alto in the u.s. parking lots now have sensors these notify citizens whenever a parking space is free the city's traffic is constantly recorded. smart robo cops are supposed to make you buy safer the police robots are equipped with cameras and can find persons through facial recognition tech reports can be filed on a touchpad. and drill hole that ukraine citizens can view the incomes of civil servants and check on how politicians have voted in the city council. and. city owned businesses lay bare their accounts using open data in the fight against corruption. in darmstadt germany interconnected sensors assess the air quality and send this information to a data center which analyzes air pollution and if necessary reports of bad air
5:25 pm
quality. in order for these systems to work vast amounts of data on all citizens are required but who ensures that the data is safe and who has access to it different solutions exist. the data is essential for the city it provides the basis for designing intel. and applications for the city but what about data protection. to be clear in a smart city there is no protection from data being collected but on the other hand it's precisely this data that provides the basis for implementing and controlling this city system. as a result very careful and conscientious decisions need to be made regarding how the data is handled. if the city controls this can be advantageous when it comes to data protection but most cities lack the technical expertise to process and analyze the data for this reason many cities cooperate with big tech companies they have
5:26 pm
the capacity and the algorithms needed to work with data. like. that corp it will construct an entire district of tarantulas with the newest technology of course but the data sovereignty stays with corporations like alphabet which is problematic as they use our data to make money. an entire city state and that's really off as many opportunities so what to do experts argue for so-called data utilities these are publicly financed but independent organizations they manage proses and control access to data anyone interested in developing smart city solutions could use them no matter if city owned business. or big company a promising approach i think everyone should be able to profit from. personal data is anonymised as a citizen i cannot influence which state of mine is being used. she cold
5:27 pm
a project by the european union goes even further to empower individuals to control their data citizens themselves should decide whether personal information stays private or if it's being shared in order to make the city smarter. pilot projects have been running in amsterdam and barcelona it since. 2018 we believe that data should be understood as a public infrastructure as a common good water like electricity like transportation like the air. they also believe that citizens can responsibly deal with their own. a desirable goal citizens should be in charge of their own. private corporations or governments control data in the smart where do you draw the line when it comes to surveillance an example from. taxi headquarters in shenzhen china the red cars occupied the green car. algorithms used right histories to
5:28 pm
predict which areas are likely to have a lot of customers and when. drivers can then directly head to these locations like. his car is part of the network consisting of around 20000 taxis. and it's equipped with an interior camera meaning the taxi headquarters can watch him work and listen in on all conversations. in the beginning i was uncomfortable as i didn't really know much about it and felt constantly observed but actually there is no reason for concern the cameras protect the customers and drivers to. privacy is ensured as not everyone can view the video. according to the taxi headquarters all data is well protected and deleted after $72.00. they say the system is great for educating drivers and the footage can be used to settle
5:29 pm
conflicts complaints the taxi provider also says customers complain less frequently and that most likely cameras as do drivers who are now less worried about being threatened but the police also has access to the videos how freely people really converse and the taxis. another problem small. streetlamps parking lot sensors or garbage bins are connected to the internet and offer potential gateways for hackers theoretically one weak link is all it takes to shut down the city's central servers and cyber terrorists could go even further stonier demonstrates how to protect oneself. in terms of digital administration in stoney and beats the plain yet estonians can vote online and almost all public services are digitally accessible but this also increases vulnerability. in 2007 estonia was targeted by cyber attacks from a global network of connected thoughts. both online banking and government websites
5:30 pm
where fact it. is tony has implemented annual international training on fighting attacks from hackett's they organized by nato inside the defense hub and every 20 nations the military and tech companies take part. question is look we got the. dark the question is when you get to the subject so the security is not something you can do once because that landscape are changing every day side as security is also crucial for smart cities they are becoming a steadily increasing economic factor tech companies use smart cities around the world to test their future technologies the big question is does this benefit the citizens to a point of importance to me who controls the applications and who owns the data we need to find responsible solutions and the citizens' interest what's your opinion

5:36 pm
century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. don't come upon souls in the height of the ark come child the guy was a refugee from the french revolution he could he was horrified how can we use this council as a quarry and we had to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule and arguing that in this state it symbolized the very notion of romance on stars. one too she was. only a small portion of the castle was rebuilt as a museum. and also displays the style in which the rich and powerful cautiousness lived. but above all it's the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world it's been especially popular among americans since the 1924 broadway had about all title bad. tooth musical what are more of its now from

a cloth merchant it's no hotel that survived all the wars and fires that revenue to the city and today is a list that monument. i think you've had a great taste of title back so far that's why you leave the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in. from thailand took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video for that and now. enjoy the mail.
5:41 pm
hider there is the quintessential student town it's home to germany's oldest university it's over 630 years old. more than 30000 students are enrolled here. you know john v.j. . yet i'm john is one of them he's offered to show me around our 1st stop is the assembly hall it reminds me of a church that you. wouldn't know for a long time it was used for teaching but today it's mostly reserved for concerts lectures the ceremonies and it's a place frequently shown off to tourists. like me and exactly. the assembly hall is the showpiece of title beck university's main building.
5:42 pm
next vino takes me to the library nearby it houses a priceless treasure the codex my missis. hello welcome to our historic ground reading room one thing one library and not the missing shows us the precious book well it's a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. this is. it's a collection of german a ballad and lyrical poetry and the works of about 140 singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly about 245000 people so it's like a really big song book yeah pretty much. the book was written and illustrated between 131314 it's not just a key source of mediæval songs with it's portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the h. of chivalry. there are many other valuable
5:43 pm
manuscripts in the university library they're being digitalized here page by page. now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library. we move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in 201-2011 it's open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here it's the perfect place to quiz vino about life in height of back. you know just what do you study in heidelberg to do that here a bachelor's in southeast asian studies with a focus on history and ethnology especially in my native sri lanka and south india
5:44 pm
here and why in hyderabad like oh definitely it's never several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation it's internationally renowned because it's also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with the university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head and off. the tape just a bit or does it and it's not only german students here right there from all over the world. you know other advocates all right heidelberg is very international and so was the university we frequently have students from india pakistan bangladesh who start their master's program here we also run a lot in summer and vacation courses. here so why is highly back known as the student tell us of so. i think that has a lot to do with the history heidelberg university was founded in 3906 and for many decades and centuries a quarter of the population was made up of students. so i don't know the
5:45 pm
and then there's the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after they've been studying hard. on. nothing happened. sounds like a place to really go crazy with better minds i have another tip for you. some things never change students have always liked. party and in the past those who are party to heart were at risk of ending up in the so called cuts of the university's own prison today you won't find any locked up students tourists come here often terribly. generations of heidelberg students have left their mark here students who are trying too much broke the rules and threw stones at lamp posts they all ended up in
5:46 pm
heidelberg universities private prison. in cuts ago before i knew it i was put in the cell i'm having fun the day to swell. 2 or 3 days of incarceration in the late 19th century was more of a laugh than a punishment it was a jovial jail. because copious amounts of alcohol flowed here to. all schools the prison yard was created with paint sort and leftover food. make steam they used to do grad to make picture famous. the last inmates sat here in cell for more than a 100 years ago france shandor maya born in 891 in the town of show invite. his offense straight and can't stand it student fans jandali a salute the sidewalk outside the house such time gas
5:47 pm
a number 18 by urinating to evie doors we need them. the last inmate didn't have time to contribute to the prison artwork he was released on february 21st 19146 months later he volunteered for military service in the great war doing just a title record on the heidelberg university then had more than 2600 students of those more than 1200 world-war fall and has i think they had bigger worries in. the student jail was closed about a 100 years ago today and the only people leaving their trace are the tourists. as well as its narrow winding streets heidelberg also has a busy main road that runs parallel to the neka through the old town. it's one of the longest and most beautiful pedestrian zones in europe full of shops
5:48 pm
and boutiques. it's also the location of the historic student hall and. built in 17 o 3 it's been run for the past 175 years by the family many a celebrity estop by including marilyn monroe and mark twain. be in serves up traditional fare and i'm eager to tuck in the hearty potato soup is right up my alley. while i'm eating my soup you can visit all the other side of the highway back we haven't seen yet i bet you don't want to miss anything right. with his cafes bars and stores the street called stein grocery connects the town
5:49 pm
center and the old bridge you're sure to pass through on your tour through town. the nearby baroque gesture with church is worth a snapshot it was built in the 18th century and as one of the largest and most significant churches in heidelberg. and this is our insider's chip out of burgh university's botanical garden it's more than a century old. it started as a doctor's garden for medicinal plants today more than $10000.00 plant species grow in the green ounces and garden grounds. this may look like a greek amphitheater but it was built as a stage for events by the nazi party. today the things sure do is
5:50 pm
a listed monument and is used for open air concerts. so as heidelberg going ahead with today's visitors it's us our time to be here and i enjoy it if the how can i meet i may come here again very interesting city they're good they're going forward and a very friendly. if you want to visit jittering go to ajdabiya is the best thing. a popular heidelberg souvenir is the student kiss a specialty by the city's oldest chocolate maker. many a seasoned politician has enjoyed the sweet treat. back in the days smitten students would gift a box as a token of their affection now the customer is most likely a tourist looking to take home
5:51 pm
a memento of their trip to hardenberg. now it's time for a trip to the crew next to the mountain meaning king's chair we're going up on the from the killer it has several stops you can also get off at the castle but i'm going up all the way. to do you know. you have to change trains from a new train to one of the oldest from the to the railways in germany the poets of the romantic era would no doubt have found some flowery language to describe the experience. it's a slow and bumpy journey very nostalgic. right. there right up there next to it is worth it simply for the spectacular views across title back and its surroundings but that's not the only reason i've come up.
5:52 pm
here waiting patiently. to come on and. once or twice a day in summer the 2 new clothes fell can read this place it's birds of prey common vim of 1st shows us the eagle owl you were young. the show lasts about an hour and a half and there is lots to learn about owls falcons and eagles visitors are welcome to share their knowledge and earn a feather or 2. that's how do they differ from other perhaps america can anyone tell me yes may let you know i think our lives are in uk turn all stemmed that it's ready to get a feather yeah. the oh i don't think else are nocturnal they prefer to fly in time to night or twilight. yeah. you know it's just. a deer in the wood doesn't have such good hearing that for
5:53 pm
instance the barn owl which has the best hearing of all i can hear an insect crawling on a blade of grass i'm not kidding crawling 1st robin and even more amazing it can hear that from a distance of 100 meters that made i'm family. to my guns buff that has now put her on your hand put your thumb out for that's it that's the 1st exercise. the next birds that carmen shows us are felton's of varying size she trains them to chase for hunting for example with a lure program she can't that in the air. at the end common presents a very impressive animal a bald eagle. oh. now it's time to get up close and personal with you. and.
5:54 pm
we're going to be fighting back again and head to a really hot region in the united arab emirates just for a jump has invited us to abu dhabi here is our meet a local slot. hello my name is george outside rwanda i would like to welcome you to abu dhabi which is my home for the past 7 years i'm originally from malta and i'm happy to be showing you some of the best highlights the city has to offer. this is one of the best beaches we have here in abu dhabi the thai kilometer stretch of beach something which i really enjoy here is you come to the beach as a backdrop you have all of those skyscrapers behind you so you can get a feeling of both nature and the greatness of matt what one can create.
5:55 pm
i love living in abu dhabi for the securities gives me about 2 or so the mix of traditional and modern which tend to balance off each other in a very nice way only in the city of upper darby we have over 3001 to around people here although having all of the modern luxuries still turn back to their traditional values following the old pusher religion which is now. the. time. in such a cosmopolitan city the vegetable the markets takes you back to what life. it is really all about here although everything that is very glitzy people still live a very normal life.
5:56 pm
this is our hobby. the doll being the traditional boat which also represents the rich maritime history that abu dhabi has these dolls are the dolls that go out late at night come in early in the morning selling their fresh catch to the local fishmongers at the fish market. and now for our last stop in abu dhabi i have chosen to take you to do observation deck at the edge i had tell you. this is the observation deck the highest point one can visit in abu dhabi 300
5:57 pm
meters apart 7 to fulfil is situated in the cluster around the tallis. this was my day in upper darby i hope you enjoyed seeing go of the beautiful sights and i hope to be seeing you soon and the as they say in this part of the world must some on the. way. to end my 2 off idle back i'm going back up the hill across from the crew on the opposite side of the neck up this path is known as the philosopher's walk. historically it was just a path through the vignettes but during the romantic period it scenic beauty drew students professors and philosophers today it's a highlight for visitors it gives fantastic views of the city and castle.

6:06 pm
are well over the process today is they that lead to becoming increasingly violent is that not doing all these demonstrations that one of the key to which is that from the place of the folks that was in one of their initial response but it's now become an independent investigation into police actions one thing out that crisis in particular with one young protest that i was damaged apparently by rubber bullets during the clashes and what we're hearing today it is possible that another protest may also have been hit in the eye with the rebels but if we call them that but we don't think reports social media want that protest to being is taken into an ambulance that it is actually like this which are anything to blame the anger among many the crisis is that yes the accidental thousands of people form a human chain around home call now that could be described as a peaceful protest couldn't it. well up until today we have seen that it's
6:07 pm
relatively peaceful week especially since last sunday with open eyes say 1700000 people marched peacefully on the streets it seems that there was a consensus among process that has to be peace but it's awful also the images of some fun and clashes between police and protesters went around the well basically condemned by beijing that if they would prove that this basement is led by a bonafide r.c.c. just a lot of people prayed at the including that very striking human chain that was formed last night so can i say. that a 100000 feet taking in that process that remains peaceful today a very different thing all right some conflicting messages as you say striking scenes less from that human chain shall the child still in hong kong thanks so much . heads of state and government along with hundreds of protesters are gathering for this weekend's g. 7 summit in france leaders of 7 industrial nations all in the french resort town of
6:08 pm
berens and the official focus is toppling inequality but the tips the top dispute between the u.s. and china over trade is already proving a distraction and huge forest fires raging in the amazon are also likely to overshadow the tool divisions between the countries making up the g 7 also white but for the 1st time there will be no joint statement at the end of the summit. and i'm joined now by did they get he's in died just along the coast from the summit so bad there's an awful lot going on tell us what is on the agenda this weekend what's happening today. president michael jones through presidents of course is a global leader who can tackle global issues and he put many things on the agenda of the g. 7 the wildfires in brazil the fight against inequality boosting the fight against climate change and all sorts of things and on the weekend also of massive protests
6:09 pm
expected against the g. 7 group of protesters are already gathering here in on the guy as a march planned today and the marches today also a little bit closer to be or it's on the actually is 28 kilometers away from being written on sunday protests will also try protests of at all to try to to get into the red zone the cordoned off part of the areas where the g. 7 actually takes place and so it's a huge challenge for the french president who is also experiencing a position here in france the yellow vests are protesting against him already since last september ok so a loss on the agenda now you mentioned the wildfires in brazil mccaw is leading the international charge against brazilian president giant balls and already he's calling for action to be taken on the fires raging in the amazon come back here in a 2nd let's take a closer look at that fact. from the streets of sao paulo and rio in brazil to
6:10 pm
cities in mexico career and argentina people across latin america are calling for action to save the rain forest. and telephone number of the green line of the world as we knew it the amazon is burning it's our home it's our future and it's infuriating that nobody is doing anything in and. out of malice either we make herself aware that something must be done that the politicians have to make this a priority or simply we the human race will become extinct. a lot of it does the voice of all of us from all over latin america we have to do something and unite all of you yes you it should just be honest please him. probably. this is what is causing so much fear and anger wildfires have been exacerbated by accelerating deforestation experts say there's a direct link between the cleared areas and the focus points of the heat this year some places are believed to have been started by farmers to create new grazing
6:11 pm
areas after brazil's president pledged to open up more of the rain forest to agriculture if you can a more a lot of animals died in the fire the jungle the forests burned last fall it's complicated i don't even know what to say it's difficult. to draw the. president just your bowl scenario initially blamed n.g.o.s for starting the fires but with no evidence he nice says he'll send soldiers to help but there's no sign of that yet either this as the rain forest continues to burn and protesters continue to send their distress signals. all right so huge topic but of course these fires are just one of the issues likely to be on this weekend's agenda tell us what other important issues also will be discussed. these 7 would lead the protests which are starting to know the disarray the disagreement
6:12 pm
within the g 7 is so big that they can also be blown up by for example the us president donald trump who is opposing just everything the g 7 stand for us to so far. trade international cooperation fight against climate change is against everything the other 6 the does want to agree on and that's it's why president michel said there will be no final conclusions normally do 7 ns was a consensus about global issues this time there would be no consensus so that's a precaution to prevent that mr trump can blow up the whole thing and this is the 7th and in this agreement that's clear already now ok disagreement disarray as it were with previous g 7 summits protests have been planned we can see the protesters behind you in on di what's that plan how much disruption of a likely to bring to this event. for the protests to think they can gather
6:13 pm
10000 people here i doubt this these crowds are not huge 10000 policemen to keep them at faith it might be that the black bloc the more militant protesters will try to march on beer it's later on but that is not for sure we don't know actually what will happen over the weekend but for sure the protests will not be as huge as they were for example at the g 20 summit in hamburg 2 years ago all right i mean spending at and on die in france thanks and much. as to the mediterranean now when $8360.00 migrants have been allowed to descend on the island of malta the refugees will now be relocated to 6 other european countries dozens of unaccompanied minors were amongst the migrants most of them from saddam and the deal ends the latest tense standoff between eve governments and charity ships but a still no long term agreement in sight. there's not
6:14 pm
a lot of breathing space on the ocean viking where migrants waited for almost 2 weeks at sea water and other supplies have been running short but now the ordeal has come to an end the people onboard have been allowed to go ashore in malta they will then be distributed to various e.u. countries that have agreed to take them in as a reason that's not he as of ours we feel relieved that a humane solution has now been found for the 356 people on board the ocean viking. but this can't stop here i must find a way to stop situations like this from happening again. the ocean viking is run by the aid organizations doctors without borders and s.o.s. mediterranean their crew has been reporting to berlin via video conference and they described distressing conditions on board and passengers suffering from severe trauma we have also spoken to and trace injuries those who have experienced or during their time. at the hands of. criminals
6:15 pm
they are being exploited. to what we can only describe as torture the ngos believe that despite the dangers at sea migrants will continue attempting to flee across the mediterranean and as long as they do so the ngos have said they will continue their rescue missions. because this year alone by the middle of august almost $600.00 people have died on the central mediterranean route. and we will not just stand by and watch while people drown who could have been held and who need to be rescued. for the passengers on the ocean viking the nightmare is over for the time being but the drama of the rescue at sea is not over in the meantime a solution still has to be found for each individual ship. news now and in the bundesliga top of the table top and we're in cologne on friday looking for another 3 points to extend that. inning start the season the hosts didn't make it easy for

nick kids lives in kenya it's the city which has come to symbolize the rise of the far right in eastern germany the demonstrations took place a year ago now people in kenya it's an across the german state of saxony are going to the polls to elect a new state parliament moment i still haven't decided who to vote for in the parliamentary elections. it may be a state election but it's attracting interest across germany the right wing populist a.f.d. party hopes to come out the big winner saxony must decide which to reckon it plans to take and so does nick at c.s.k. . nick has been doing martial arts since he was 8 years old he specialized in m.m.a.
6:20 pm
all mixed martial arts. colorful martial arts has probably contributed greatly to my self-image it's given me a lot of self-confidence in dicey situations where you're inclined to panic or the adrenaline starts pumping. the panic or should i say that doesn't happen so much now because i just know the situation better if i can't. make can't see esky is 28 years old 5 years ago he opened his own martial arts studio he knows the german m.m.a. scene well and he says it's closely connected to the neo nazi scene especially in eastern germany. help i'm sure the worst case i've experienced was at a competition and where people always booed the foreigners during the finals the
6:21 pm
crowd chanted who naral short for the right wing group hooligans nazis racists. this video is an ad for the well known right wing m.m.a. event camp dinny balloon or fun of the knee balloons it's an annual mission for right wing extremists in saxony disguised as a sporting event nick and his friend doug know all about the need blooms which right wing parties use to attract new voters. the blame of the trouble is it's a recognised and consciously public right wing event they're not stupid they promote it like a normal and a finds them but what doesn't belong to the sport is the showing of symbols that are. playing for them who are in. the hang of the show and they hang up flags which really belong to the right wing scene. the problem is when the problem is they mix their politics with the martial arts. politicians make appearances and try
6:22 pm
to manipulate people like nations who like to put real a lot of you hear the politicians come and make speeches fishing for votes image that nick was born in kenya it's and he spent most of his life here he's encountered nazis outside the martial arts scene too even in school he had to be careful who he made friends with the. by around you in my youth i naturally had a bit of contact with them at school too and the phone in the lunch and you had to decide on your attitude towards them. firstly one of them was really into grated into the neo nazi scene so my attitude towards him was clear. in my no one he could never entirely avoid contact with neo nazis in his youth he did try to stay away from them he takes us to the place where a german of cuban descent was stabbed a year ago here is to get thinks this is the memorial for daniel h.
6:23 pm
who was murdered here on august 26th 2018. or more the voter his death made headlines across germany so did the demonstrations afterwards around the col marks monument one of the city's landmarks never. ever. ever came it's in 28 chain just the suspicion that asylum seeker killed daniel was enough for sex and his far right same to take to the streets be unhooked and other politicians from the i.f.t. much side by side with neo nazis they chanted nazi slogans and did hitler salutes and attacks politicians and foreign looking passers by the police were outnumbered and under the well and. nick kid c.s.k. says the demonstrations changed his city since then it's become more polarized the different political camps are more opposed than ever. before and the tone in camden has become more aggressive for its divided groups of friends even my own family
6:24 pm
a bit. for instance nick and his grandparents often don't see eye to why. hello there is a vision today they've come downtown to have a visit with him he gets. here. then you can it's when it was still part of communist east germany much has changed since then and they don't feel safe here anymore. and it's $1000.00 acts and i can't go out anymore at night i don't dare go into the city that's down it wasn't like that before don't beat around the bush it's simple everyone says it's the asylum seekers then if we had more law enforcement and police the feeling would be better but it's the hottest defeated person at the police are getting huge reinforcements up in the absolute worst i have something against people who've committed crimes your having to be
6:25 pm
kept here to comply with some international legal practice and internet service. when it's not possible to deport them to venice and for an american history. those are the ones who are a burden to us. since the here in the. us. there's no problem with foreigners i grew up in a system in a world that's totally globalized and the only functions through globalization that people say throw out all the foreigners but our country couldn't survive without them. so for me it's not a question of with or without foreigners things can only function if we work together on the phone to me on. nick who really likes to talk with his grandparents especially about politics but he finds this sometimes intolerant though he'd never sent that to their faces and in front of the camera they're all a bit reticent. and things like this i think back to this issue politicians what do
6:26 pm
you think about the political direction changing the f.t. getting more powerful and giving the far right a boost mr dixon to be sure. but that also means that the people on the left will also get more organized and that would likely provoke more riots what would sealed it for after the election because if the a.f.p. comes in 1st protests will increase not only will people protest more. unlikely to do it peacefully which will lead to rioting come pretty sure of that decision. to make and his friends enjoy a barbecue none of them i have to supporters and yet none of the chemist's has a far right problem they say last year's demonstrations were exaggerated by the media they more worried about the city's image shows i only learned about what happened from the media apparently people in kemet to stand for next to no reason there's a bit of latent fear them this case has been exploited by all sides. but i did so
6:27 pm
it goes to show what they were trying to do is present in the media as if everyone in the demo was right wing but that's not how it was said the brass majority were simply concerned this finds session i found it really shocking that even in america they were reporting on kemet some what was happening here people must decide for themselves how much importance to place on it that's probably why so many people myself included are afraid to let our children play alone outdoors which was once totally normal. but if you're going give what you know as a freedom fighter something i feel the reporting of what happened here in cam lance was exaggerated i stated that it was all very extreme right wing this. for me what took place wasn't just an extreme right wing event it is a fall from if i don't like what's become of it was a 6 team of 5 candidates is image has been damaged. i promise this
6:28 pm
was a toss in that i didn't interest the media at the time and it doesn't interest anyone now i think that in the midst of c o 2 and the hits cain. just ahead of the state elections the parties are making a last minute attempt to woo the vote is. that the social democrat stand nick talks with candidate. to see if this can do you think that chemists really has a problem with racism or is it somewhat exaggerated is this what is your opinion do you think you'd have to go as a standard that says i think there's no german city that's free of racism i believe that we have a big problem with how we deal with racism which is only that there are cities for instance rostock in mecklenburg for palmer which had problems with it for a very long time and also had negative headlines but they tackled it head on in
6:29 pm
with that's happened when i get the feeling that in cannes it's people avoid the topic because it's uncomfortable and i mean they're afraid it will harm them just to name it but this violence only makes things worse for cities especially. that silence is expected to benefit one party the most the a.f.d. saxony is the right wing populist stronghold so they've also put up a stand down town the a.f.c. candidate he tells nick it's the foreigners not the neo nazis who are the problem. hello. i'm nick thank you my neck i'm stephanie i'm running for parliament. i thought how come it was kim i come from chemists was born and raised here what 3 main statements does the f.t. have for cam that these are for caymans of disposable the biggest problem here in the city is with immigration and that's a given so you hear it from every citizen there also unsettled because we're simply not used to that. type of life from east german times yes historically but but we
6:30 pm
had vietnamese cubans etc before and if i'm right i know and that was good. but at the time they were in principle people who came here for professional training and then they went back home and took those skills with them and we have to look after our own people 1st and those of worked and paid taxes here for years and from what i'm told i'm doing the discussion the a.f.p. stand is surrounded by demonstrators carrying brightly colored umbrellas it's a protest action to show that kenya is a colorful and diverse place but the a.f.d. members don't take the protests seriously the atmosphere is still quite relaxed yet the incident shows candidates is divided. i knew i. asked my view thanks for the talk there were some good arguments made but as i said a few opinions that just don't fit with my world view and isn't my baby. nick kid c
6:31 pm
s he won't vote for the a.f.p. that much is clear but he's afraid that the right wing populist could triumph he longs for a chemist's that's governed by tolerance and respect the way opponents treat one another in martial arts. i tried i thank i. powerhouse turns 100. 100 years of moderately stark temperature. 100 years of functionalism n.p.r. isn't. what's behind the legend. we asked the experts about the. next.

a smile and nice fun to roll her but was the powerhouse just a boys' club that's a myth there are also some outstanding women. first of all what these women leapt on was a kind of professional representation. by not standards for. female artists consciously being forgotten is something that can also be observed in painting sculpture in literature and in many many other areas a number. of followers of these women will rediscover. when a political and social discourse began about women's role in society. but who were these modern a super women. 3 who left their mark on the ball house were writer editor and powerhouse 1st lady. furniture designer and paul house master levi's. and textile artist ani all of us

like many female pupils at the ball house she had to learn weaving though she wanted to study painting albus began studying at the powerhouse in 1922 though she never intended to become a textile artist she was a natural talent she was inspired by us of all of us her teacher and later her husband and the paintings of coldplay. her work is now being rediscovered europe. and death and they really are one of a kind pieces that you can instantly tell that here on the album has created something extremely special. that's coupled with an incredibly interesting dialogue between the material and it is not a tool about being fashionable what more dished. out as work seamlessly interweave elements of industrial production handiwork and art in 1930 august

6:52 pm
states in 1938 there he designed iconic structures like the seagram building in new york. miss fonda became a star architect his pandering to the nazis was soon forgotten and hasn't tarnished the boss's reputation to this day still there's little reason to place the bauhaus on a moral pedestal. some of the bauhaus teachers and students who went into exile became successful in the us our house became internationally famous but it was never a purely german phenomenon teachers and students came from all over the world areas sharon had experienced life on a kibbutz in palestine and brought those ideas with him to death south later he returned to the middle east and built a legendary white city in tel aviv and a pioneering university in nigeria. ready the femi university in effect in the southwest of nigeria. ready ready ready area share on this university campus
6:53 pm

6:54 pm
remember see it so please prove. this it is there are far worse than far for people numbers to to be talked through these are compost. these markers circulated spritz around 200 kilometers to the south is lagos. nigeria is not just city is constantly changing. like the representatives of contemporary band house. asks how do we want to live now and in the future she thinks of the revolutionary ideas of a century ago are still relevant today. when we had monism comment and they as of any post-colonialism the architects that came of the day will modernise i'm not the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of lagos on the alley modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still today dr satcher lagos is
6:55 pm
expanding at a breathtaking pace it's an african 2nd largest city under one of the world's most densely populated somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects are creating that own design language. what was considered as african tenets of the within the rules that say we need to be realistic and design more appropriately for the city that we live in now we have to face the fact that in the city of some people say to me that some people say 22 we need to live in the smallest. well the space is nike peninsula is an ultra modern and up market district of lagos here the architect is constructing minimalist housing units similar to ones built around the globe. a new architecture for new life styles functional economic and compact. so this is astounded 2 bedroom apartment so it's open
6:56 pm
plan kitchen it's really about i think efficient living. apartments for nigeria's growing middle class who are increasingly cosmopolitan. the you always need to reflect on. on how living in a city is evolving and changing i mean the whole world has changed the demographic is changing how people live the family unit is being redefined and we need to make sure that we produce an architecture that's reflects that and that's what the boss does look at the university campus in. its buildings were constructed in the 1960 s. and seventy's open on all sides they function like energy efficient passive houses and coolum sounds every inch of space is used efficiently architect ariel sharon employed ideas he'd learned during his studies of the battle house school in desk his architecture is tailored to the people and the surroundings the topography natural light and climate. this is north more than off it said phil just repeat
6:57 pm
could still go to one of the old farmhouse already know this is more than 0.2 about will. rest on the. mob was jew i show you this design is part of bauhaus imagining stone a research project and exhibition that celebrates the bauhaus school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange the campus is seen as an architectural milestone. ready these abilities were kept as they were built and they still function. quite well and of course this is thanks to a very intelligent architecture what sharon the architect of this campus learned from his teacher the bows and a smile is exactly this very serious almost sent difficult approach. private of course but also to social issues. house as nicely open and global social dialogue
6:58 pm
that's what by has imagined instead it's all about the project as a collaboration between the great institute the belfast corporation. and the balance house the cultural endeavor. in the focus of the project is why was the bauhaus adopted or in some cases rejected and why was it used to reinterpret it and we discovered that it was about creating a blueprint for a new society and a new relationship between art and society is it going the bauhaus artist's vision of a better world is just as attractive now as it was this century. isolated

7:11 pm
firing it possible that a dumpster of protesters who had gathered in this pond and the shopping center this day many trying to set up barricades to divert the to the scene that we saw earlier on today when because we find him again we believe rebels but it well protesters 100 the price that we set up makes them bold and put the big main street in call call what we saw with a number of protests is daunting to do or die and bricks very quickly off which could easily have been talking at the protest to spending and. clearing the area and then came in to take out once again for another weekend here in hong kong. clearly in an increasingly robust response by the police to the protesters and they're getting criticism for this something. they are well over these processes is they that lead to becoming increasingly violent is that something all these demonstrations about one of the key to which is to. run the place of the folks from
7:12 pm
one of their initial response that is now become independent investigation into police action one thing out separated them in particular with one young process that i was damaged apparently by rubber bullets during the clashes and what we're hearing today it is possible that another protest may also have been hit in the eye with the rebels but if we come back not that we don't think we're put social media want that protest to being is taken into an ambulance that is acting like this which or anything do you blame the anger among many of the prices. yes the accidental thousands of people form a human chain around home call now that could be described as a peaceful protest couldn't it. well up until today we have seen that it's relatively peaceful week especially since last sunday with open eyes say 1700000 people marched peacefully on the streets it seems that there was
7:13 pm
a consensus among protests that needed to be at peace but it's also also the images of some funny clashes between police and protesters went around the world basically condemned by beijing that if they were proved. to be led by its bonafide already just a lot of people process including that every striking human chain that was formed last night so can i say. 100000 feet but. in the process that remains peaceful today a very different thing all right some conflicting messages but as you say striking scenes left from the human chain show the child still in hong kong thanks so much. to the mediterranean now when nearly $360.00 migrants have been allowed to disembark on the island of malta the refugees will now be relocated to 6 other european countries dozens of unaccompanied minors were among the migrants most of them from sudan and the deal ends the latest tense standoff between eve governments

7:15 pm
describe as torture the ngos believe that despite the dangers at sea migrants will continue attempting to flee across the mediterranean and as long as they do so the ngos have said they will continue their rescue missions. because this year alone by the middle of august almost $600.00 people have died on the central mediterranean route. and for this we will not just stand by and watch while people drown who could have been held and who need to be rescued. for the passengers on the ocean viking the nightmare is over for the time being but the drama of the rescue at sea is not over in the mean time a solution still has to be found for each individual ship. sports news now in an abundance league a top of the table dortmund were in cologne on friday looking for another 3 points to extend their winning start to the season the hosts didn't make it easy for them

7:26 pm
sending workers abroad was an idea 1st introduced in 1974 a gigantic network of clandestine companies and financial constructs gradually evolved all of them with one sole goal earning money for office 39. this man was likewise born in the north in pyongyang in early 2000 he was sent to singapore he earned tens of millions of dollars for north korea as a representative of pyongyang's north east asia bank in 2003 he was suspected of having passed on information about the regime's finances he fled to south korea today the former banker works for his new country's intelligence agencies he supports them in their struggle against the regime he wants war eternal allegiance to our main goal is to make foreign cash and this foreign cash business is secret. complete the secret office number for ny and continued creating that the
7:27 pm
system is setup like it's all north korean institutions where these foreign cash is generated there is to report it to can to the top and then should bring that should pay that in cash to family and now it turns on and before communal so she gather all this and then spend it or according to her she's priorities so $2.00 economies one is to family economy and the other one is the national economy run by the cabinet and run by their so called you know central planning so to family i call it you know royal court economy royal court economy they possess all the best profitable businesses is toto's this department
7:28 pm
stores you know those services in the rest trunks they are making money for in cash and then it also goes to continue mountains of. soul separate economy. the money that you make will never good central economy not. central bank. finance ministry and trade bank they can never. what pope their nose into our business is in that they can never they can not asking a king king get up or and then read a look at them so let's say a 1000000000 years dollars a year to get that cash in cash and then to use that now nuclear missile program if you know consumes a lot of money it's from those pocket there are different will curse you know at
7:29 pm
most 150000 maybe 50000 in russia and a little more in china and others in scattered around the world so true than 50 thought and they make a lot of money there's only. so 70 percent 80 percent of the salary cap. and sent to the state and the party so if they make all of them a $100.00. the amount is how much civil man knowing it. put in your own. pair were $1515000000.00 a month they don't make only $100.00 u.s. bucks a year month in they make more maybe several 100 at least so a lot of money is going to control. the volume of their cash income consumed

7:32 pm
hello to them all the north koreans working today sure. do they sleep here yes. and they never go out just to go shopping that's all. and they eat and sleep here yes inside. north korea goes to extreme lengths to prevent its workers from coming into contact with the outside world and discovering a reality that is other than the one depicted in the daily propaganda they're only allowed to go out in groups so that they can keep an eye on each other but in the narrow market aisles of all on battah we spot a north korean worker who appears to be on his own. can we talk while we look at the shoes or. yes.

7:34 pm
living in north korea they are all too aware that they would never see them again. is mongolia covering up the presence of these workers within its borders neither the government nor the companies employing them were prepared to talk to us but allegedly there are 1200 north koreans in the country they are there legally at the invitation of the mongolian government the companies transfer the salaries directly to the north korean embassy and. from where the money is then confiscated by the regime in pyongyang a fraction of the sun a few dozen euro's a month at most is paid to the workers who use it to support their families in north korea. the construction workers are not the only money makers for the regime it also dispatches loggers to the forests of siberia peasants to farms young young even exports doctors the regimes most

north korea reportedly generates 450000000 euros a year from remittances earned by its citizens secretly working abroad. no records are kept of these secret funds and accounts documentation could potentially be used as evidence receipts bank transfers and internal notes are systematically destroyed on the orders of the kim family. this enables the regime to deny their existence in front of the international community but above all to the starving population back home. they are not to get wind of the millions the kim family earns at their expense. to them both ends of the record when i was a worker too. i didn't get anything for 6 or 8 months. i worked myself to the bone. so i reckoned why not help myself this man spent

the marshall devotes a lot of time to the scientists and they reward him with their industriousness my husband has been a scientist for 30 years. her husband teaches fluid mechanics at the technical university of kim cheick the apartment they were assigned has 200 square meters of floorspace the regime also provides the furniture. not everyone in junge young lives in modern high rises like this one but this family is far from an exception every year since kim jong un came to power he has built and inaugurated a new residential district that his involved 50 new residential blocks sprouting up within the space of a few months they're intended for the scientists and their families who have rendered extraordinary services for the regime one of these high rises is home to an architect's office serving kim jong. un's excellent work.
7:47 pm
through some things the courts are for the full court there's always more work to be done there are always more projects we never enough architects this is in itself a huge building site everyone is tied up in at least 2 or 3 projects and is working nonstop. but it's still not really enough that if we do all nighters. given the international situation and all the sanctions doesn't that hamper construction no no no not at all and i don't see how that would have an impact on that. i saw a lot of construction sites in europe where work was immediately suspended after a crisis. but here we carry on working despite the growing number of projects in the pipeline we're not afraid of anything we keep on making progress regardless.
7:48 pm
was was in the how is north korea able to finance this construction boom has it been able to shrug off the sanctions out on the streets the standardized socialist dress code has been lent a little more color in the last 3 years the mood seems almost relaxed and yet the regime still governs its people with an iron fist even the slightest critical gesture or word of disapproval will soon find someone in one of the country's many camps for political prisoners since kim jong un has been in power however there have been signs of a reorientation the orders now are to ensure that the economy evolves at the same pace as the nuclear program. the one who cut all this to size. but be careful.
7:49 pm
within the system down there you have to cut it straight look this is not straight . to the box that we built this entire set of ourselves and thanks to these korean built machines we've been able to automate a number of jobs and also reduce our power consumption. as a result we've almost doubled our production capacity everything here is a joint product of the experts from the academy of science and the researchers at kim il sung university. and. where does the material for the shoes come from. through them we're unable to import materials due to the strategy of our enemies so we produce everything ourselves and that involves checking which components we have available so that we can make our own shoes ok now the smartphone from his most of. the key factors for this economic revival innovation and adaptation the goal is to perseverance and prove to

the world that the country doesn't need anyone else. we have solar panels. we have them installed on practically all factory roofs. they generate up to $400.00 kilowatts of electricity. our factories need a capacity of only $300.00 kilowatts. that means the electricity generated from the solar panels isn't easily enough to keep our factory running despite the sanctions and the isolation. you can. the shoe factory is one of a number of model factories that kim jong un has had built for each sector of industry they all include a digital control center with a direct connection to pyongyang's universities and research centers more model factories are to be set up across the country.
7:51 pm
the regime dictates which roles everyone is assigned the country's economy and society are centrally planned right down to the fate of each individual. young north koreans know as soon as they are in elementary school how their lives will pan out depending on their abilities their family background and the needs of the party the state selects their career many end up in the military the country has a standing army of $1000000.00 soldiers in north korea men are subject to a minimum compulsory military service totaling 10 years those who manage to be admitted to kim il sung university the country's most prestigious college are usually exempt this is where the next generation of engineers economists bankers

7:53 pm
country the impression you get is that a brighter future awaits following the famine of the 1990 s. which claimed the lives of between 600001 1000000 people the streets have no cars but some dashes of new color life is hard but seemingly not as hard as it used to be. kim jong un spent part of his childhood under a false identity in switzerland did he bring the dream of modernization and opening up with him from europe. the young dictator possesses a nuclear bomb that protects him at home and abroad and also consolidate his power but where as his father and grandfather built statues and palaces he builds railways bowling alleys swimming pools museums of natural history and leisure parks facilities no longer just serving the elite culture advances in science and industry opium for a people who are for now still in all of new developments the aim to reinforce the
7:54 pm
dictatorship now in its 3rd generation. in a sign of the times on this evening the colors of north korea shine in splendor for the 1st time after dark. is north korea getting outside help russia and above all china vote in favor of u.n. sanctions while at the same time continuing to trade with north korea an overthrow of kim jong un's regime is not something they want to see. the country's secret coffers and assets keep growing even in places where you'd least expect it such as berlin in the heart of europe. in 2016 the german authorities began trying to close down this youth hostel located on the grounds of the north korean embassy. since 2008 the rent totaling more than $38000.00 euros a month has gone directly to the kim family. germany
7:55 pm
has terminated the lease but the owners of the hostel have steadfastly refused to vacate the premises. do you know whether office 39 makes money in france or germany. and france or germany sure. go. round in a go along a little and there are no workers in those countries because of the stringent laws pointed to it but one thing they do have is money and wealth. the ones with a role will the maple north korea buys and sells real estate parental or speculative profit when will. they know. if they were to do direct business in those countries and openly show that our company is a north korean company we'd immediately be subject to a tax on it it'll be rent out apartments. nobody knows who the owner is really we're just collect the rents because it will do you know the names of these
7:56 pm
firms. as i don't know if i were to tell you that they'd end up on the sanctions list right away. just yes north korea is an awful dictatorship but the people who serve the regime faithfully like me or my friends or even the bosses are just doing our job that someone didn't know any book and then us is illegal perhaps what they do is in itself banned but there is still a code of honor between us. then you go out and. do they earn money in the us. not that i know of. him and you but we do do everything we can to relieve them of money. we have technology kids hacking
7:57 pm
that includes blackmailing software that north korea hacks into the us infrastructure industry or digital companies. we can't analyze or make much use of the data as such we just hack our way in. and then demand money in return for guaranteeing that we will keep the data to ourselves. that. it's basically north korea taking digital data as a hostage. you know stopping this in of the real trade with china coal and iron ore and other stuff you know this is the real ascension so we took only 7 months but it's there we cannot stop everything how can this top or north koreans you know. how many shadow companies and operatives are there how far does their network truly
7:58 pm
extend and what kind of danger do they pose in one of final reports the security council we've documented north korean weapons prohibited military training programs and dozens of african and middle eastern member states in mozambique the contracts one of the contracts we saw was worth more than $6000000.00 intense and near the contract was worth a similar amounts in euro's a little more i think maybe 12000000. so it's all about the money part of the problem with ballistic missiles is that. the technology wasn't supplied to all the countries that want to technology so the north koreans stepped in and this is very alarming that in sums of proliferation
7:59 pm
there was this. new cologne. you know a new killer facility in syria that was set up with north korea and assistance and this is this is the kind of activity that i know concerns a lot of people. in the north koreans also have a huge stockpile of chemical weapons as well. it's been 20 years since lim ill fled the kuwaiti desert where he'd been working on construction sites in the meantime he's become a father again here in seoul he has 2 sons they know they also have a big sister somewhere on the other side of the border. you know larry i think about it the more i wonder what it is that made me who i am pretty that if it were a normal regime i would never have run away. and this mismanaged system and the
8:00 pm
forced me to make that terrible decision. once a month in seoul refugees from the north meet up in a christian center in order to remember their families and their people back home almost like orphans of the man who was once their leader they turn to their god to rediscover a purpose in their lives. while in the north those taking orders from the dictators continue to work in the shadows at home and abroad to guarantee the survival of the regime. by 90 extradition to the world's trade is trying to hold this tornado close to sure

8:04 pm
trade climate change and taxing the big technology companies divisions are so deep that for the 1st time in more than 40 years there is to be no joint communique at the end of the g. 7 summit. and i'm joined now by dave garrett mattie's india it's york is the 1st time since $975.00 that there's going to be no communique at this summit why is that i say really this is a precautionary measure that the french president has taken a president here who's hosting the g 7 who is in damage control mode ever since president donald trump the u.s. president walked away from that final declaration at the last meeting in canada and so what the french president has done he has really broadened the agenda he has brought in all sorts of other topics like the environment like development on like injustice in the world in order to if you want paper over the rifts that are so clearly there when it comes to topics like the environment the french the the
8:05 pm
parents of a climate accord or for instance the iran nuclear deal something that is very important to european partners here in the g. 7 but something that he walked away from so they're going to do a lot of talking but without a final communique or agreement for action is there any point meeting. well look at the g. 7 has been around for more than 4 decades basically and it is the forum to organize international trade it is the forum to organize international relations if you want this is where the rules of how this system that we're all living in this has been hammered out this is how the problems can mutually be solved and the french president is very keen to produce some sort of tangible results and and in his 1st meeting with president donald trump he had some hope for optimism because after all donald trump said the weather is great there's very friendly people around and
8:06 pm
there is great things that can be accomplished and well we'll have to see if that is true in the run up to this meeting the e.u. use trade pact with south americas group that has been threatened if brazil's government doesn't take action let's have a listen to what e.u. council president donald had to say earlier the burning of the rainforest has become another depressing find of our time. we of course stand by medical through agreement which is both thought about protecting the climate and environment about that this is hard to imagine how mining is both of ratification by the repeal of contras as long as the brazilian government allows for the destruction of the dream of that. do you see the e.u. actually taking this kind of action against brazil. it's
8:07 pm
a crucial role it's very very high on their agenda and so that is why also the german foreign minister has emphasized that it is a real problem also looking towards that the trade deal doll just was also clear in may in saying that this trade deal with the markets will states also will help the environment but at the same time backing the french president so yes i would say you know the europeans have worked with the mexico states for more than 2 decades on that deal if that paper lies a little longer on the table until these key problems are sorted out that is something that europeans would be prepared to do ok if you don't use your gratis and your hits thanks for that. as we've just heard the g 7 is pressing for more action on the wildfires raging in the amazon rain forest brazil is sending in the army to tackle the blazes but opponents say it's too little too late. from the streets of sao paulo and rio in brazil to cities in mexico

8:11 pm
demonstrations. our correspondent charlotte chel some pill is in hong kong and has been following the protests there charlotte you watched protesters get dispersed earlier today are they regrouping again. nic i'm on the main raid right now where one of those clashes unfolded i'm sure you can see just behind me that the remnants of that clash is still that there are still barricades along this street this is usually an extremely busy thoroughfare through hong kong very quiet tonight dr is aware of the clashes that took place to earlier on the sea evening now from what we can tell protesters and police have launched need to specify that we did see another very violent day of clashes today for the 1st time in over a week tear gas was back on the streets of hong kong from what we can tell it was fired in several locations we were at one spot where hundreds of people gathered around a police station and what we saw was
8:12 pm
a number of the protest is throwing bricks stones plastic bottles at police police then sent out a warning using the flags that they often put up saying if you continue we will use force and then we saw them charging at those protesters sending them scattering and the tear gas was then fired so it has been another violent day here in hong kong mull could be different to some of the protests that we saw earlier this week which was launched the people. how would you characterize the overall police reaction to the protests. for the protest the protesters themselves say that police have been extremely heavy handed in the treatment of the demonstrates his one thing that they pointed to in particular is one protester whose i was damaged by a rubber bullets a lot of the protesters that we've seen since have been covering that i is with my punches in a market solidarity with that particular protest another round rima circulating on
8:13 pm
social media and several images as well suggesting another protest today was hit in the eye with a rebel but it we can't confirm that ourselves but it certainly will inflame a lot of the anger here among protest is aimed at the police here in hong kong. and yesterday charlotte we saw pictures of thousands of people forming a human chain around hong kong were you there. we were indeed organizers say 100000 people took part in the protests i have to say from what we saw it was stunning what these protesters managed to do they lined up along pathways hand in hand many of them holding their torches that waving and and showing that they were capable of holding peaceful protests after a lot of the violent clashes that we've seen in recent weeks that seem to have been a consensus up until today among protests is that they needed to send an image to the wild that they were to remain peaceful off the protests to be so particularly
8:14 pm
at the airport last week where a number of the protesters were seen being. extremely violent those images went around the beijing jumped on them to say look this movement is led by a violent minority and the protesters here seem to want to disprove that sedate remained largely peaceful at that protest yesterday and did 3 months of last week ok some pill reporting from hong kong thanks for that. scientists have successfully harvested vegetables and herbs in a pioneering project which could one day help men cultivate in outer space the german led by research station is based in the antarctic to simulate the harsh conditions on distant planets. this is what the 1st greenhouse on the moon might look like it could soon be providing 6 astronauts with a steady supply of fresh vegetables engineers have been using
8:15 pm
a similar high tech container in the antarctic to test whether or not the idea could really work. as we don't use soil the roots are suspended in the air in a plastic box and sprayed with nutrients and greenhouses in the class a greenhouse doesn't have any windows we eliminate the plants with the lights and we control the environment the temperature the humidity and so on. the greenhouse container could produce up to 270 kilograms of vegetables including cucumbers tomatoes and radishes fresh vegetables are vital for astronauts on year round missions pushing not only come on you can't endlessly freeze fresh food you can preserve fresh fruit indefinitely tomatoes roped off a full 5 at most 6 weeks they really have to be grown locally and then right away that's why a greenhouse is so important. 8 countries are involved in the project and nasa is

this week on the world stories. well trilogies could soon be underwater. berlin's all up and go our news for you see the action. but we start in russia where a new highway used to be built through an area in the south of moscow the problem during the soviet era radioactive waste was dumped here locals around environmentalists are sounding the alarm dangerous levels of radiation that's what nuclear physicist andre as he's radiation counter tells him every time here moscow's pauli metals factory started dumping nuclear waste on this scale in the 1940 s. and fifty's when the area in the south of moscow wasn't yet part of the city so far the radioactive material is contained under a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight through the nuclear waste. they might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account that it's contaminated it will be released into
8:20 pm
the atmosphere and anyone who prays that song will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs. he has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals. local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their lungs. if you know that this nuclear waste to say about they aren't going to touch it then it's not to worrying but knowing that they're going to build a right here and all this waste could slip down the hill that's really scary. says locals have always known about the nuclear waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. of view from above shows just how urban the area is the nuclear waste site is slotted between a park and moscow's main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin
8:21 pm
later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe and effective but. the soil will not be disturbed as support for the flyover will be built its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface we've carried out studies of the sort of at that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm that on the road when i touch the ground here. i could put people in the area don't believe the author already they recently held a protest against the highway which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesn't care about the signs here read road of death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. lives in the high rise apartments across from the plant construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway since march. from my point of view they're committing a crime against the residents who live here i don't know whose interests are

driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. when the frustration here is palpable but on the other protesters want to keep 5. with petitions and protests to make sure their homes and their city stay safe. our next story takes us to be u.k. where residents of the world's coastal village of far more are feeling the effects of climate change the sea is growing ever closer now residents are being told they don't have to leave their homes. mike russell has the sea right on his doorstep he's a dedicated angler who's lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years. right now the irish sea is bright and shiny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges. my house stands right behind this dike it's held firm against wind and tide so far.
8:23 pm

plastic piles up on phnom penh streets in fact cambodia's capital city is littered with plastic waste. the plastic tied starts to rise at 5 am in the street markets it's the packaging of choice of these traders and it spreads across the city as their goods are sold and distributed discarded plastic is simply swept to one side and whatever is left there just days their. feet to. the market traders all use plastic because it's best fish and vegetable merchants use plastic because it protects their goods from rain and damage. with a population of 5000000 phnom penh accumulates 3000 tons of garbage every day waste disposal workers are simply overwhelmed by the amount. and because there is

8:30 pm
a moment was we can only. use the other allotment colonies are also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city sees no other option than to sacrifice some of the green spaces. void and i get a mission because we don't want to make life difficult for allotment gardeners but will need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that needs space for schools daycare centers and sports grounds kind of a few allotment gardens about one percent will indeed have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for bison was the clute intend to fight. they have joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. they agree that schools are important but feel they should not necessarily be built here. the allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once before

8:38 pm
a much smaller scale the highland games in scotland this is an event that is truly a throwback to another era where men hurl tree trunks carry heavy stones or they throw heavy weights all in a competitive show of strength and in durance your max host max american decided to test his mettle by taking part in a highlands games event and here's a closer look at how he measured up against the rest. when trees are flung through the air boulders carried around weights flying through the sky and rain falls in buckets it's summer time in scotland. was the perfect weather for a scottish tradition i'm in the air at the highland games and i'll be facing off against some of the toughest men in the country and of course that requires
8:39 pm
a certain dress code. a traditional scottish kills is born by all performers and competitors every summer around 80 communities across scotland host highland games the village of west of edinburgh has been holding games since 871 there's running cycling and plenty of heavy lifting. it's a tradition deeply entrenched in scottish culture jolly mary is the president of the scottish highland games association. with. us i mean here i'd like to load a little bit more about the history of the highland games. as they would be more. than. i believe it would be from the kleins. chief with the. strongest man crush there's.
8:40 pm
aside from selecting warriors clan chiefs also sort out dancers and musicians nowadays it's all about the owner the strongest competes in 6 so-called heavy events for instance wait for heights where the aim is to throw a 25 kilo weight over of the structures have a pro using a cannon ball attached to a wooden shops and in the cave a tossed a trimmed tree has flipped over on its axis. ideally lamping in a straight line not an easy task. seems to have a go but 1st one of the judges also we have will give me a crash course and have a friend. so what is the technique so 1st of all across the street on your head. like that yes and over and ok that was very well just because a city it. was good. there
8:41 pm
you go so i was out for a 1st go i was very good going you didn't fall and lose your ball and. lose again but sauce is quite a bit trickier this one is the lightest weighing 25 kilos and is used only for practice getting up into position and keeping the balance is hard enough then it's time to run. my 1st attempt at leaves quite a lot to be desired. it's not a walk in the park my rivals are professional athletes and weight lifters. so how do you train for the day in. a local sports field time let me go down and basically through which the boat is much of the way if you go to them i've got no telegraph pole. such a shame i lost my telegraph pole with nothing but my crash course to prepare me it's time to have
8:42 pm
a go. without proper boots the went grass doesn't give me much grip. my throw fails to impress. the jays best measured in that 129 feet good thing no one bet on me winning so it wasn't as if i think it was. my next challenge is to toss that cable that has to be flipped over and glance. straight like a clock going from 6 o'clock to 12. my rivals offer me a sticky tree sap concoction for extra grip. so my fingers are all sticky now ready for the cable toss the injury risk is a little bit too high so i can only go on a practice table because i know world championship quality. is a real me now and it's my last chance to make a good impression. oh.
8:43 pm
perfect i can't believe it's only 12 o'clock albeit with the smallest stranger available still who can say they'd like to treat the ensuing awards ceremony the judges grow up to be among the prize for my efforts it wasn't enough for a proper prize and i've really learned that you need to be a real athlete to compete at the highland games but i had fun there anyway i'm i'll definitely have another go in the future. perhaps i'll make a habit of working out in a kilt. 001-0000 all right way to go mad thing you can see more of max's highland games adventure on r d w euro max you tube channel well believe it or not britain's queen victoria was a huge fan of the highland games and their popularity soared in the 1900 century

chance. to sell sex and the houses up the cold war could go to was actually rather an important in the 18th century but then came the idea for this marriage strategy through clever matches they married into all of europe's royal houses so at its zenith in the 19th century they were basically kings or queens of much of europe and had great political influence to try and force it whether it's the swedish royal family. the belgian monarchs the descendants of the czars of bulgaria or naturally the british royal family they all have roots in the cold war and are related to victoria and albert that earned queen victoria the nickname the grandmother of europe she and albert had 9 children together. comes here to see if you could also call them the 1st royal dream couple because albert and victoria really were in love while both of them or especially prince albert saw the political advantage of being married to the queen of britain they also married for

9:07 pm
a crucial role it's very very high on their agenda and so that is why also the german foreign minister has emphasized that it is a real problem also looking towards that the trade deal doll just was also clear in may in saying that this trade deal with the markets will states also will help the environment but at the same time backing the french president so yes i would say you know the europeans have worked with the americans will states for more than 2 decades on that deal if that paper lies a little longer on the table until these key problems are sorted out that is something that europeans would be prepared to do ok if you don't use your precious n.p.r. it's thanks for that. and as we just heard the g 7 is pressing for more action on the wildfires raging in the amazon rain forest brazil is sending in the army to tackle the blazes but opponents say it's too little too late. from the streets of sao paulo and rio in brazil to says he is in mexico career and argentina people

9:11 pm
kong and has been following the protests there charlotte you watched protesters get dispersed earlier today are they regrouping again. nic i'm on the main raid right now where one of those clashes unfold and i'm sure you can see just behind me that the remnants of that clash is still that there are still barricades along this street this is usually an extremely busy thoroughfare through hong kong very quiet tonight dr is aware of the clashes that took place to earlier on the sea evening now from what we can tell protesters and police have largely just best that we did see another very violent day of clashes today for the 1st time in over a week tear gas was back on the streets of hong kong from what we can tell it was fired in several locations we were at one spot where hundreds of people gathered around a police station and what we saw was a number of the protest is throwing bricks stones plastic bottles at police police then sent out
9:12 pm
a warning using the flags that they often put up saying if you continue we will use force and then we saw them charging at those protesters sending in scattering and the tear gas was then fired so it has been another violent day here in hong kong markedly different to some of the protests that we saw earlier this week which was launched peaceful and how would you characterize the overall police reaction to the protests. for the protest the protesters themselves say that police have been extremely heavy handed in the treatment of the demonstrates is one thing that they pointed to in particular is one protester whose i was damaged by a rubber bullets load of the protesters that we seeing since have been covering that i is with my patches in a market solidarity with that particular protest another arima circulating on social media and several images as well suggesting another protester today was hit in the eye with
9:13 pm

for mixed martial arts. colorful martial arts has probably contributed greatly to my self-image it's given me a lot of self-confidence in dicey situations where you're inclined to panic or the adrenaline starts pumping. the panic or sky that doesn't happen so much now because i just know the situation better can't. make can't see eskies 28 years old 5 years ago he opened his own martial arts studio he knows the german m.m.a. scene well and he says it's closely connected to the neo nazi saying especially in a student germany. shop i'm sure the worst case i've experienced was at a competition and where people always booed the foreigners during the finals the

crowd chanted who are short for the right wing group hooligans nazis racists. this video is an ad for the well known right wing m.m.a. event camped in the blue and or front of the ne belongs it's an annual meeting for right wing extremists in saxony disguised as a sporting event nick and his friend target know all about 5 of the navy looms which right wing parties use to attract new voters. blame of the trouble is it's a recognized and consciously public right wing event they're not stupid they promote it like a normal and a fight but what doesn't belong to the sport is the showing of symbols that group of friends and. they hang up flags which really belong to the right wing scene. the problem is when the problem is they mix their politics with the martial arts. the politicians make appearances and try to manipulate
9:20 pm
people to mention someone you put a lot of you hear that politicians come and make speeches fishing for votes image didn't make was born in kenya and spent most of his life here he's encountered nazis outside the martial arts scene too even in school he had to be careful who he made friends with the. in my youth i naturally had a bit of contact with them at school to shorten the lunch and you had to decide on your attitude towards them. firstly one of them was really into grated into the neo nazi scene so my attitude towards him was clear. in my no one he could never entirely avoid contact with neo nazis in his youth he did try to stay away from them he takes us to the place where a german of cuban descent was stabbed a year ago he is still getting so this is the memorial for daniel h.

who was murdered here on august 26th 2018. or more that his death made headlines across germany so did the demonstrations afterwards around the col marks monument one of the city's landmarks 5. candidates in 20 a chain just the suspicion that asylum seeker killed daniel was enough for sex and his far right seem to take to the streets beyond hook and other politicians from the i.f.t. much side by side with neo nazis they chanted nazi slogans and did hitler salutes and attacked politicians and foreign looking passers by the police were outnumbered and overwhelmed. nick kid c.s.k. says the demonstrations changed his city since then it's become more polarized the different political camps are more opposed than ever. before and the tone in camden
9:22 pm
has become more aggressive for its divided groups of friends even my own family a bit of this through. for instance nick and his grandparents often don't see eye to why. hello there is a dish today they've come downtown to have a visit with him you get. here. then you can it's when it was still part of communist east germany much has changed since then and they don't feel safe here anymore. and it's $1000.00 arts and i can't go out anymore at night i don't dare go into the city that's down it wasn't like that before don't beat around the bush it's simple everyone says it's the asylum seekers. if we had more law enforcement and police the feeling would be better so you had the hottest defeated person to be the police are getting huge reinforcements are going to observe it was the big i have something against people who have committed crimes

your having to be captive and to comply with some international legal practice ration internet so let's get flu when it's not possible to deport them to venice and foreign images these are. those are the ones who are a burden to us just simply you knew it would spend us skip can i was and of course there's no problem with foreigners i grew up in a system in a world that's totally globalized and that only functions through globalization and people say throw out all the foreigners but our country couldn't survive without them. this weekend so for me it's not a question of with or without foreigners things can only function if we work together with singing on. nick really likes to talk with his grandparents especially about politics but he finds this sometimes intolerant that he'd never say that to their faces and in front of the camera they're all a bit reticent to feelings on this. back to this issue patricia what do you think
9:24 pm
about the political direction changing the f.t. getting more powerful and giving the far right a boost perspectives and yeah sure. that's true but that also means that the people on the left will also get more organized and that would likely provoke more riots would see all night after the election because if the f.t. comes in 1st protests will increase not only will people protest more they're unlikely to do it peacefully which will lead to rioting come pretty sure of that since you. have. nick and his friends enjoy a barbecue none of the my f.t. supporters and humbly chemist's has a far right problem they say last year's demonstrations were exaggerated by the media they're more worried about the city's image shows i only learned about what happened from the media apparently people in chemist's are stabbed for next to no reason there's
9:25 pm
a bit of latent fear them this case has been exploited by all sides. and so it goes to show what it was for the present in the media as if everyone in the demo was right wing but that's not how it was said the vast majority were simply concerned this finds session i found it really shocking that even in america they were reporting on kemet some what was happening here people must decide for themselves how much importance to place on it that's probably why so many people myself included are afraid to let our children play alone outdoors. which was once totally normal. but so if you're going give what you know as a freedom fighter since i feel the reporting of what happened here encampments was exaggerated i stated that it was all very extreme right wing this. for me what took place wasn't just an extreme right wing event this fall for me i don't like what's become of the water 60 in the far east i do ken that is image has been damaged.
9:26 pm
us for so toss it that i didn't interest the media at the time and it doesn't interest anyone now i did it in them it's new and it was a little hit skin. just ahead of the state elections the parties are making a last minute attempt to woo the vote is. that the social democrats stand nick talks with candidate. they see this ken do you think that chemist's really has a problem with racism or is it somewhat exaggerated is this. what is your opinion do you think if you don't understand it that says i think there's no german city that's free of racism i believe that we have a big problem with how we deal with racism which is only that there are cities for instance rostock in mecklenburg for palmer which had problems with it for a very long time and also had negative headlines thing but they tackled it head on
9:27 pm
that's happened when i get the feeling that in cabinets people avoid the topic because it's uncomfortable they're afraid it will harm them just to name it but this silence only makes things worse for modesty's especially. that silence is expected to benefit one party the most the a.f.d. saxony is the right wing populist stronghold so they've also put up a stand down town the a.f.c. candidate he tells nick it's the foreigners not the neo nazis who are the problem. hello i'm nick. you know my neck i'm steffen i'm running for parliament. i thought well. that's why i come from chemists was born and raised here what 3 main statements does the f.t. have for cabinets these are for kamins of disposable the biggest problem here in the city is with immigration and that's a given so you hear it from every citizen there also unsettled because we're simply
9:28 pm
not used to that. type of life from east german times yes historically but but we had vietnamese cubans etc before going to trial right i know and that was good. but at the time they were in principle people who came here for professional training and then they went back home and took those skills with them and we have to look after our own people 1st and those of worked and paid taxes here for years and from what i'm told i'm doing the discussion the a.f.d. stand is surrounded by demonstrators carrying brightly colored umbrellas it's a protest action to show that chemist's is a colorful and diverse place but the a if the members don't take the protest seriously the atmosphere is still quite relaxed yet the incident shows kenya is divided. i'm sure i. asked of him thanks for the talk there were some good arguments made but as i said
9:29 pm
a few opinions that just don't fit with my world view and isn't my bet that. nicad c.s.k. won't vote for the f.t. that much is clear yeah but he's afraid that the right wing populist could triumph he longs for a chemist's that's governed by tolerance and respect the way opponents treat one another in martial arts. i tried i. thank i. on the 77 percent of the talk about the issues that matter to. many young africans view providing for their families as an owner. what happens if they barely able to feed themselves. one is young nigerian freeplay.
