good to have a bit of. good . news live from bird lands facing sometimes the german ambassador over a visit by a hong kong democracy activist joshua wombats germany's foreign minister in berlin meeting that has been harshly criticized by china it accuses germany of meddling in its affairs. also coming up hundreds of nigerians are evacuated from south africa after a spate of attacks on foreigners over chronic unemployment in their homeland what does the future hold for that. and could we be one step closer to finding like in
8:01 am
outer space the 1st time scientists have detected water on an earth like planets orbiting a distance star yeah so what this discovery might need. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program beijing has summoned the german ambassador after joshua wang the hong kong pro-democracy activist met germany's foreign minister and berlin urged world leaders to show support for the ongoing protests in the territory but beijing is accusing germany of meddling in its affairs and has warned that the meeting between wang and the german foreign minister will hurt ties between the 2 countries. it was just she was 30 day in berlin he came to the german capital with a message for i'm going to mexico and other world leaders is for to pay attention
8:02 am
to hong kong's protests and showed us a part to hong kong some precise asian safeguard hong kong is not only the responsibility of hong kong people but also the responsibility for world leaders prefer hong kong to face the next tenement square massacre happened for a decade ago on monday wong met german foreign minister heiko must prompting shop criticism from beijing it summons germany's ambassador accusing but then of interfering in china's affairs. the only go. and see what happens no i'm fortunately have to say will have negative consequences on bilateral relations and china will have to read to you. at butlins home old university just one packed tight 3 here to his message was one of defiance and a strong belief in the power of the protest movement in his home city don't let
8:03 am
a youngster or an elderly all we stand as one with our determination to fight for a better future. joshua won't find many supporters in the german capital. i think he did a good job he did like you do them at like you all is that he does here swear on this about it that he is supposed to let me. know with a little to oppose he's very impressive very brave and he's still very young. i find him particularly admirable because he's risking his life and freedom with his activism activism with the skillz the shot i'm person. i think it's a huge motivation for people who are brought to come closer to. so be motivated and follow closely to what is happening in our home city. many here tell us that concerned about joshua wong and what will happen to him when he would chance to hong kong but 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to
8:04 am
gain most support the hong kong's pro-democracy movement. t w chief political correspondent melinda crane joins me from berlin melinda what does joshua wang want from the german government at a press conference yesterday he listed 3 things he said 1st of all a public government condemnation of police violence and of views of power in hong kong secondly he said that the german government should stop exporting police equipment to hong kong as long as the police are using violence against the protesters and thirdly he suggested that china and germany should link trade with china to human rights saying that it either should suspend trade talks with china as long as the violence continues or insert human rights clauses into trade agreements so 3 very clear messages there to the german government how is the
8:05 am
german government responding. there's a sympathetic ear here in berlin but there's also a certain degree of caution it's unclear to what extent joshua wang explicitly requested a meeting with chancellor angela merkel but he did not get one at any rate and that meeting that took place with the foreign minister mass was actually on the margins of a private reception by the german tabloid newspaper the bill which is in fact the host for joshua long's this is it here in berlin in other words this is not some kind of official government sponsored visit on the other hand we did hear the chancellor say on her recent visit last week to beijing that germany absolutely sees human rights as indispensable and she reiterated that message yesterday in an official address to parliament saying that germany is conveying that message to
8:06 am
beijing so i think there is a little level of caution but certainly also there is pressure from the opposition for the german government to take an even clearer step and i mean there's also pressure from china as we've come to learn china has called the meeting with the foreign minister disrespectful in fact they've threatened the fact that there could be some retaliation here linda how seriously should germany take this line from china right now. certainly people in the business community will be taking this very seriously china is germany's most important trading partner the 2 countries did 100000000000 euros worth of trade just in the 1st half of this year and german export companies have seen some significant wall bulls in the market thanks to the fact that thanks to the trade tensions between china and the u.s. which have reverberating effects also for germany so there will be a lot of concern about how to interpret this message from china on the other hand
8:07 am
one must say wouldn't really be in china's interest to open a new front in its tensions with the world community certainly when the chancellor was in beijing there were a lot of friends of friendly signals from the chinese government saying that they had great ties with germany and that the complementary between the 2 showed that relations didn't have to be tense with the west so i think it's it will remain to be seen the degree to which beijing follows through on these threats chief political correspondent linda crane thank you linda. let's get a quick check now on some other stories making news around the world newly released british government documents warn of chaos and public disorder if there is a no deal brags that in a worst case scenario the documents predicts severe disruption to cross channel routes which could affect supplies of medicine and food the government was forced

8:09 am
evacuations from the country they are reporting violent attacks on themselves their businesses their properties but while there is relief at having escaped for some of them many also say that they are uncertain what the future holds for them at home our correspondent funny for char reports from lagos. slowly and with a long delay it finally arrives the airplane from johannesburg. and some officials are waiting for the passengers to disembark. this is the 1st machine from south africa with nigerian rhetoric the 1st since anti immigrant violence erupted in and around your hand last week now that the nigerians are back what does the future hold for that. warm welcome to begin with but a lot of uncertainty to this woman left south africa after 7 years because of the xenophobic attacks she says she has brought to her child with her.
8:10 am
so. what's the plan for your future and what are you hoping to forge ahead how do you find a job because i'm a graduate. of. hours earlier and just outside of the airport the usual hustle in lagos nigeria is facing chronic unemployment especially. just like south africa this young man studied to be an accountant but can only survive repairing cars he believes the future is bleak for the returning. few so sorry for the because. you don't have. a question that
8:11 am
a senior assistant of president bihari is eager to answer the government has been criticised for not doing enough for the returning private chose to volunteer to bring some of them home one of the major problems we see in this situation is communication so they're going to of sim cards with time that will last them for 2 months that is not what these people want to hear 100. 809 people arrived on the 1st plane tired exhausted and confused expecting more from the government. all government needs to provide some the school halls like electricity and water on good roads you understand me does what's. that to me asking they. very basic means to start a business like they had in south africa who are they could make a living but would they no longer come. to greece now which is struggling to cope with a surge of migrants moving through turkey to europe in august more than
8:12 am
a 1000 people cross the aegean sea to islands such as lesbos many ending up in overcrowded refugee camps including the one called morea greece's new conservative government has vowed to dramatically speed up the processing of asylum applications but it says that turkey must help as well. ismail and his family came to the morea camp in less force only a few days ago since then they've only received a few blankets their living outside the actual center in a tent camp also to go back you actually it's crowded we live in this tent with 4 family us. 16 of us who have been through great danger we knew we could drown we did it or children could have a better future. about 10000 people live in moria in a facility designed for a 3rd as many daily new arrivals join those waiting on asylum requests for months
8:13 am
or even years. ago this is them cannot withstand so such great numbers of people there needs to be generally. acceleration of the asylum procedures in order to be able to process more people many children live in the camp and that's one reason the new greek government decided last week to prioritise bringing families to the mainland there's a plan to install more than a 1000 case workers to shorten the asylum process but greece's turkey is also responsible. we demand that turkey take its responsibilities seriously to destroy smugglers networks. and that they don't allow them to reestablish the refugee routes from before. but i can see ahmed tells us now it's easier to flee from turkey he's tried 7 times but now on his 8th try he made it. last time the turkish police just watched they just let us go. with the turkish
8:14 am
coast so close it seems to be an anchor's hands how many migrants make the journey to lesbos. and ever since the peak of the migration crisis here in europe back in 2015 d.w. has reported on the dangers that migrants have adored escaping their home countries and attempting the treacherous sea crossing to europe conditions on board the vessels transporting the 10s of thousands of men women and children are often dire yet their stories are seldom told now we bring you an insight into one libyan woman's experience of finding a new home she and her young son spent 3 weeks stranded on the sea watch rescue ship before being allowed to disembark on european soil. but i didn't wish to do for how the earth but i did and they can then see how.

trophy. in the. last. that. scientists have made a major discovery in the hunt for life beyond our own planet the 1st time they have to tested water vapor on a planet outside of our solar system that has temperatures suitable for life as we know it. 2 teams of researchers were able to detect the water in the atmosphere of a planet more than 110 light years away it indicates that the planet is on the right distance from its star to potentially sustain life.
8:19 am
derek williams from our science desk joins us now with more on this so i mean what exactly were they able to detect here where they were able to detect what they say was water vapor within the atmosphere of what's known as a super earth that's a particular class of planets that appears to be very common we've discovered around $4000.00 exoplanets as they're known so far and the super is appear to be very common it's a very little it's about twice the size of earth and about 9 times the mass of earth so it's it's a very very large planet but if they've discovered really truly water vapor there then that is one of the fundamental key factors that could indicate that there's life there so this is a big breakthrough isn't it well it is a big breakthrough i mean this discovery was made with with the hubble telescope with data from the hubble telescope and it wasn't really meant to do this discovering 111 light years away that's a very very long distance i mean one light year is translates into
8:20 am
a 9.5 trillion kilometers so you can do the math so seeing that far away in detecting this kind of thing is a very very delicate and difficult thing to do and the fact that they've managed to do it indicates that in the future when we have bigger telescopes up like the james webb telescope for example that will be able to detect even more important aspects of what could planets they could actually harper life ok so we have to wait on the new technology essentially in order to get more information or what you need what are the next steps the next thing the next steps we're going to be the way that we the way that they managed to detect this year yes that's what people asked us all the time as well is that the way that you're able to detect a planet that's this far away is that casts a faint shadow as it transitions across the face of the star that's between us and the star and as as the light bounces through its atmosphere you're able to read the chemical signature of things that are within the atmosphere now these new telescopes like the james webb telescope will be able to provide us with more
8:21 am
information not just about water but also about. molecules that are indicative of life more indicative of life for example me thing or ammonia or carbon dioxide and so in the future they really will be able to help us nail down a little bit more and say with a little bit more confidence hey we think there's life we can actually do something with this information we can absolutely derek williams for our science desk it is so much. fun now fires in the amazonian forest in brazil have dominated the news in recent weeks but indonesia is experiencing its own epidemic of fires as well thousands are estimated to be burning on the islands of sumatra and borneo and concerns are growing but the huge plumes of smoke from the fires pose a major health risk. this is not a children's hospital it's a classroom but this is the last lesson for the day. concerned stuff worry it's
