a grand coalition of center right c.d.u. and center left s.p.d. on the party the c.d.u. has led the government here since german reunification it may remain the largest party but is said to lose votes especially to the far right populist a.f.d. and state premier may struggle to put together a new coalition. i'm a democrat i'm against a minority government i've also said i won't coalesce with the f.t. or the left party for reasons of policy and personnel the rest of us will have to be able to talk to each other and be able to form a government as democrats. brandenburg potsdam is the capital the state surrounds berlin and has about 2500000 inhabitants brandenburg is also doing well economically if it weren't for the lignite problem the mining apparatus may grind to a halt soon germany plans to phase out the coal industry which many people here
10:10 pm
rely on for a livelihood in brandenburg the s.p.d. has also been in power since reunification it's currently in coalition with the left party but surveys suggest that it's unlikely that the 2 parties can continue to govern together for my work flat out for 161820 hours a day so that the far right populist don't become the most powerful party here just like the coffee the s.p.d. and the a.f.d. are neck and neck in brandenburg but the far right populists are unlikely to take power none of the other parties wants to join a coalition with them for years the a.f.d. has benefited from feelings of insecurity and of being neglected in the east it has taken on the slogans of the civil rights movement in former communist east germany berlin grand coalition partners the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. especially are looking to the state elections with apprehension. the s.p.d. is suffering from dwindling support and membership. and the c.d.u.

10:12 pm
a coalition here in front of and it could have a ripple effect for the s.p.d. it is currently in government with angela merkel's new cd you partly and if it was really suffers no not the numbers breakdown because of the election results that go listen and the final ones home an awful lot couldn't come to an early end was. branded by. best stylish a functional i'm capable of making just about anyone big cola talking about some gusts of course i'm a bright day you'd be hard pressed to find anyone without a pair on but just how sustainable are your shades and ukranian is hoping to reduce waste eco friendly frames. this is the story of a ukrainian man who had an unusual vision to create eco friendly yet fashionable sunglasses and of one of the world's most common commodities the journey to
10:13 pm
enlightenment took place in stages. before we tried every organic substance which can be bought in the supermarkets mean parsley what else we tried cardamom even rosemarie to merck we experimented with different substances and then one day my wife came to me and said black coffee and i was like bingo 1st coffee is black which is the classic color for sunglasses and it seems everything secondly there are lots of coffee grounds in the world there are millions of tons of coffee grounds that's how it started. which awards the entrepreneur comes from a family of opticians a narrative he presents in this video to promote what became the aa case i wear brand a pair of coffee frames will set you back around $80.00. they're made by gluing coffee grounds and flock together with vegetable oil if you throw the frames away they'll turn into a fertilizer within
10:14 pm
a decade. the sunglasses went into production after maxime managed to raise over $13000.00 on the kickstarter crowdfunding platform now he's planning to market them outside of ukraine to hoping that when it comes to supporting sustainable products the whole world will wake up to smell the coffee. the 76th edition of venice is international film festival is underway one of the controversial highlights is roman polanski's new movie. an officer and the spy premiered an hour or so ago those stories will thrill it tells the story of the dreyfus scandal in which a french army officer played by the stuff shown to not doc is persecuting the cues to spying for the job. you. are if you're just watching for.
10:15 pm
your future. if you. like. this you're a. top of the stash is that door w.'s residence cinephile a sculpture in venice and has seen the film welcome scott roman polanski's films always make headlines mostly because of his criminal record what do you make of. the film itself actually is quite good i mean the drive to the fair is quite well known but it's never been turned into a film and it's a quite compelling story about a jewish french officer falsely accused of treason and the scandal that resulted
10:16 pm
from that which almost brought down the government in france at the time and polanski whatever you think of the man he's a good filmmaker he tells quite compelling story which is sort of half historical thriller and half courtroom drama but of course a lot of the talk here in venice with this premier is not about how good the film is or its qualities but about the director of itself and whether or not like a vanishing. a platform for a man like polanski who course has a criminal history. and he wasn't he wasn't even there for his big moment was a. no no actually no one really expected him to come because polanski as you know he was convicted of statutory rape in 1977 back in los angeles he fled the country before he was sentenced so he remains officially a fugitive from u.s. justice and is not allowed safely to travel outside his home country of france so if he came here to italy there would have been a good chance that he could have been arrested and extradited to the united states
10:17 pm
no one really expect him to come there was some talk that he might skype in to be able to introduce his film to the public here he didn't do that and his producer who was here presenting the film along with the actors made it quite clear they were not going to talk about polanski the man and the personal cases against him but only wanted to discuss the film itself but of course when plans to make the movie we always have to talk about his his his his history and the infamy that falls on. one of the festival itself is it any good to have the offerings have a good do well what are you excited about seeing. yet you know i mean venice in the last few years has become sort of the stark starting gun for the oscar race this is where hollywood sends its biggest and brightest films that it hopes will have a chance to pick up some academy awards next year and we've seen a few potential candidates marriage story no
10:18 pm
a bomb backed film with scarlett johansson and adam driver as a couple in a really nasty break up looks really really good the 2 leads of the spectacular and to morrow everyone's really excited to see a superhero movie which you don't usually see in festivals like this but the film is called joker it's supposed to be much darker take on the superhero genre phoenix playing the batman villain but how does he have his own movie but this film was produced. by martin scorsese and apparently it's much closer to taxi driver that is to the event so i'm really excited to see that stocks rose from the venice film festival thank you. football jerseys league champions bond munich and home steps of former goalkeeper all of a com join the club's board from january will take over as chief executive in 2022 and collins ruining to retire as common 18 in this league titles as a player on the 2001 champions league title was a mainstay of the t.v.
10:19 pm
things and enjoyed talking in 2008 the 50 year old has maybe worked as a t.v. pundit. let's talk about this more with dave broderick from a d w sport welcome dave is all of a come on the right man to steer by and to more glory i mean that's kind of a tough question to answer just because he has no managerial experience so it's hard to know exactly what to expect from him then again that's sort of the way byron does it take players where legends for the club who maybe you know immediately after retiring or a little time in between and they give them a chance to really run things at the top so as far as past experience we don't have that but if his time as a player is any indication i mean he was really intense player he would run through a wall to win he'd do anything for a victory so you assume he's going to bring a lot of those features into how he manages the team ok and the cons not going to
10:20 pm
be the only new figure on the bottom board bonus will be replaced as president when he leaves in november why is he going yeah i mean that news was honestly a bit of a bombshell it was mainly puzzling just because of the timing heinous actually in 2014 served some time in jail for tax evasion and he's only been out for 3 years it seemed a bit odd that he would go through all that he would make his return and then. after that just kind of give it up but he mentioned himself a couple different reasons for stepping down the 1st was wanting to spend more time with his family and the 2nd was he thought it was a good opportunity to bring in his replacement. who used to be the c.e.o. of adidas and also he mentioned specifically something that happened at last year's annual general meeting where some fans who were disappointed with what they saw as a kind of dictatorial way he was running the club actually booed him so let's hear from him about what really pushed this factor. i know is to
10:21 pm
me the events at the a.g.m. last year made me think for the 1st time about what would happen if i was no longer in the role. but it just gave me something to think about. with. ok so aside from his 3 years in jail spent dead nearly 50 years a bayani one role or another so how big a loss is he going to be yeah i mean it's hard to understate it this moment is a true changing of the guard between her and this and ruminate of both leaving the club at around the same time. and suspects surely he kind of personified byron he was brash he was arrogant he made some really crazy statements to the press sometimes but he always managed to back it up with wins. and i think he and

10:22 pm
ruminate over really driving forces behind bahrain's dominance in the past decades i think it's going to take quite a while to really see what they look like without the 2 of them there how the club maybe changes direction but it could be a moment of serious doubt or danger for bahrain for them to really continue with their success but for the short term they've just really knew the contract of star striker robert lewandowski they have a boatload of star players to work into the team i think for better or for worse at least in the near term they're going to be just the good old byron matter as dominant as always dave thank you. now if i mentioned ice hockey you'd be a rare person if you thought about africa believe it or not that kenya house is not talking to called the ice lions they're lace up their skates several times a week to practice in nairobi. thank you i saw ky at the equator yes it's real right here at this solar powered ice arena twice

the team even organized the 1st ever east african hockey tournament facing other squads mostly made up of ex-pat canadian american and european enthusiasms it's a fully fledged tournament complete with a referee and a trophy. and what the fanbase lacks in numbers it makes up for in enthusiasm the lions put up a spirited fight and reach the final verses a team of americans there on level pegging for much of the game but the lions have to settle for 2nd place in the future the game has a future here we played well and if we keep it up and train even harder we will go far. hopes are up for these young kenyans playing an iconic winter sport right here at the equator. scientists according to some explosion of high intensity these pictures from the volcano in the thai island of strongbow in italy the north coast of sicily been
