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 one day in berlin he came to the german capital with a message for i am going to mexico and other world leaders is a must for the chancellor pay attention to hong kong's protests and showed us a part to hong kong sort of high station 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 decades ago on monday wong met german foreign minister hi tomas prompting shop criticism from beijing it summons germany's ambassador accusing but then of interfering in china as a fads. and see what happens you know i'm

fortunately have to say we'll have negative consequences on bilateral relations and china will have to react. to the. at berlin's homebuilt university just one pack type 3 here to his message was one have to finance and a strong belief in the power of the protest movement in his home city no matter youngster or elderly all we stand as one with our determination to fight for a better future. joshua one side many supporters in the german capital. i think it did a good job he didn't like it even at like to hear all is that he does here swear on this about it that he is a facilitator. to a person he's very impressive very brave and he's still very young. and find him particularly admirable because he's risking his life and freedom with his

activism. activists will still skillz josh 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 that's 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to gain more support the hong kong's pro-democracy movement. give more on the story we have team coverage have used chief political correspondent linda crane is in beijing and correspondent mathias bolen ger is in hong kong for us melinda i'll begin with you because these were extraordinary briac sion from the chinese how is the german government responding to beijing's harshest harsh criticism of the long visit the foreign ministry rejected the criticism saying on tuesday that it was

perfectly normal procedure for a foreign minister to meet with members of civil society and yesterday in her speech to parliament we heard a very clear statement from chancellor angela merkel saying that she had used her recent visit last week to beijing to tell the government that the german that germany views human rights as absolutely indispensable and she said we still stand by the principle one country 2 systems on the other hand there is also a certain degree of caution here in berlin the chancellor spokesman has emphasized that she herself did not meet with joshua wang and that meeting with the foreign minister actually took place on the margins of a private reception by a german newspaper that in fact is the host for this visit by joshua wong melinda while also held

a press conference here in berlin yesterday just walk us through what he said. he said that he'd like to hear a much stronger statement from the german government condemning the police violence in hong kong a condemning abuse of power he also said he'd like to see the government stop exports of police equipment to hong kong as long as there is continuing violence against the protesters and thirdly he said he'd like to see germany lake trade its flourishing trade with china struck more strongly to human rights concerns perhaps even inserting a human rights clause into trade agreements so 3 very very clear messages from him to the german government mathias why is china so upset about the one visit well the protests are entering their 4th month now it's been 3 months to 2 days ago since the protests have started in china and the hong kong government have found now no way to calm the situation protests are going on they're getting more extreme

more violent so this is something beijing is extremely nervous about the other thing is that paging has been trying to control the message is all or how china's if he has what they view as their internal affairs abroad more assertively during the last few years companies have been punished if they'd labeled for example taiwan not as a province of china and beijing has been extremely. nervous about foreign leaders meeting people that they do not want to have that whose voices they do not want to have heard so anglo merkel for example was meeting the dalai lama when she just came to office in 2005 and china had reacted to this with some restrictions on german diplomats and since then has not met the dalai lama again so their strategy is to punish all those who meet with people that china does

not want to be on stage. mathias you know ultimately the message from beijing is this implication that there will be consequences for c. no german ties walk us through what those consequences might be well it will start with diplomatic snubs german diplomats not getting appointments with senor fishes for example not being invited to some celebrations some events that are organized by the chinese foreign community it can go further it can harm german business in china companies can be singled out for for example some inspections or some trade restrictions can be placed the public can be organized against german businesses this would however be a further step of escalation and i do not think that this would be at the beginning off of a process like this because at the moment in this situation where china is at

a trade war with the u.s. they need germany and they would probably resort to some more measured responses but they want the germans to feel some consequences melinda given that i mean given that there is a mutually beneficial relationship and yet we have these threats here how should germany. how worried should they be about this chinese warning. china is an incredibly important trading partner for germany and germany is seeing the economy take a downturn partly because of tensions between the u.s. and china which have reverberating effects for this very export driven economy here in germany certainly the business community will be concerned for that reason one major business newspaper said today that the foreign ministers move to meet with joshua wang had done maximum damage but i think mathias is right in saying the chinese themselves don't have much interest in starting

a 2 front trade war so perhaps the the threat will in fact not be carried out with full consequences by china melinda and mathias thank you so much to both of you for your reporting. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world newly released british government documents warn of chaos and public disorder if there is a deal brags that in a worst case scenario the documents predicted severe disruption to cross channel routes which could affect supplies of medicine and some food the government was forced to release the files after a vote by bomb makers. cattle and separatist protests in barcelona turned angry joining the night after a largely peaceful demonstration to celebrate the cattle and national day demonstrators descended on catalonia as parliament in an outpouring of protest separatist sentiment and dissatisfaction with the national government in madrid c.

and the us supreme court has approved president donald trump's plans to stop migrants claiming asylum in the us it overturned a lower court ruling that had blocked the policy of border states that migrants traveling overland must claim asylum in the 1st country they reach it would prevent nearly all central american migrants from claiming asylum in the u.s. . the 1st nigerians evacuated from south africa have arrived back in the country hundreds of nigerians signed up for free flights home following a wave of violence against foreigners in south africa they're reporting violent attacks on themselves their businesses their properties but while there is relief at having escaped many say they are uncertain what the future holds for them at home our correspondent funny reports from lake. 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. 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 her child with her the prince michael. so. what's the plan for your future and what are you hoping to forgit 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 among its youth 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 that because. the govt may. give you. a question that a senior assistant of president bihari is eager to answer the government has been criticised for not doing enough for the returning a private and 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. time that will last for 2 months that is not what these people want to hear 189 people arrived on the 1st plane tired exhausted and confused expecting more from the

government. all government needs to provide something school halls like electricity and water on good roads you understand me that is what sucks is that to me asking they. very basic means to start a business like they had in south africa were they could make a living but where they no longer feel. you're watching news still to come on the program it is 111 light years away from earth and it is a plausible candidate and the search for ellie and life more on what is being called a mind blowing discovery connection. priests is struggling to cope with the surge of migrants moving through turkey to europe in august more than 8000 people cross the aegean sea to island such as lesbos many end up in an overcrowded refugee camp called moria greece's new conservative government has

vowed to dramatically speed up the processing of asylum applications but it says that turkey must help to fight. 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 living outside the actual center in a tent camp also to go about it crowded we live in this tent with 4 family us all in all there are 16 of us who have been through great danger we knew we could drown we did it to our children could have a better future your beautiful. 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 or even years. 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 but i'm the one with the muscle in. and there they don't allow them to reestablish the refugee routes from before. but i can use 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. for the last time the turkish police just watched they just let us go. with the turkish coast so close it seems to be an anchor his hands how many migrants make the journey to lesbos. ever since the peak of the migration crisis in 2015 d.w. has reported on the dangers migrants have endured escaping their home countries and

attempting the treacherous sea crossing to europe conditions on board the vessels transporting tens of thousands of men women and children are often dire for now we bring you inside into one libyan woman's experience of finding a new home she and her young son spent nearly 3 weeks stranded on the sea watch rescue ship before being allowed to disembark on european soil. for how the earth. in the in the what.

get scientists have made a major discovery in the search for life and outer space as this animation shows it's a mess of planet orbiting a star more than 110 light years away and water vapor has been discovered on the planet's atmosphere now this suggests that it is the right distance from its star potentially to have temperatures that are suitable to sustain life researchers hope that new were and more powerful telescopes will be able to on walk more secrets you aand are swished system of the of more on this story i'm joined now by derek williams from our science to

ask so what what exactly with the researchers able to detect air won't the only way that we're able to detect these exoplanets at all as when they passed and front of the starve that they that they orbit and as they pass and front of the star that they or with the make it slightly darker on the side facing the earth and and and some of the light that's that's being emitted by the star passes then through that exoplanets atmosphere if it has won and as it passes through that atmosphere or electromagnetic waves that various specific parts of the spectrum can be can kind of be weeded out and that creates of a fingerprints these compounds that are in the atmosphere complain contain a fingerprint that we're than able to read and were able to read that particular book in in this particular moment we found water in the atmosphere or water vapor so water on a distant planet what why is that such a big breakthrough well with with planets were always looking for what we call the habitable zone the circumstance or habitable sons also called the goldilocks own that means it's it's not too hot it's not too cold it's just right the problem is it's of the planet is too close to it star and it heats up than you get this sort

of runaway greenhouse effect or or water can just boil off into space if it's if it's too far away and it's too cold than all of the water leak use the atmosphere in ends up as i use on the surface what you want to something in between so we've discovered this that this water vapor is actually they are in the atmosphere that indicate some kind of though a water cycle even something approaching weather and bat is a key and fundamental aspect of life as we know at the the the presence of water of liquid water could humans live there i mean that's a day question that everybody wants to know right you know if so if it some date in the distant future we were actually able to get their couldn't sustain our lifes oh we're entering the rome's definitely of science fiction when we talk and that directions of a assuming that it with some very distant they we were actually able to overcome the tremendous bast challenges of interstellar travel this would actually not be one of the planets that we would be interested in going to simply because the fact that it's 9 times the mass of the ers which means you would be 9 times heavier there than you are here there are also

a number of other questions but these super is exactly how they're made up of the iraqi quarter they have this sort of really thick layer of gas around them it wouldn't be earth like conditions at all but that said it doesn't make it impossible it might be not conducive to human life but that doesn't make it impossible to imagine other life forms developing there eric williams from our science desk fascinating stuff thank you. well when you are proud of what you have achieved sometimes you just want to shout it out from the rooftops that is precisely what some homeowners are doing in india's punjab state here's more on their crowning glory. they're larger than life a bit bizarre and a little showy in this village in the indian state of punjab there are all kinds of statues including a tank a boat i can group and there are many many airplanes and it seems the because they are the better. talk sing owns the largest he rents it out as

a party venue he's loved planes ever since he migrated to england at the age of 16 . then he worked in a factory to earn enough money to build a villa back in punjab. we've been jobbies a famous for working hard. no matter where in the world we happened to be we're always successful and we like to show it everyone here admires me for my success. those who still live here anyhow but there aren't too many left almost every rooftop statue represents a story of migration their owners left to look for a better life elsewhere and europe and the usa or a struggle for example. many here dream of traveling hence the local love of airplanes most people living in punjab are followers of the sikh religion even in

the sikh temples there are plenty of model planes the faithful here pray for safety while travelling well for family members already overseas. but what's the point of all these statues when no one's around anymore to see them sign talk sings wife by shan would rather be with their grandchildren in england. but my husband has always done what he wanted to. i've always just followed his wishes. we come out here for a month or so twice a year. when the children and i say let's just stay in england he just doesn't listen. in a few days' time some talk sing will board a real airplane and head back to birmingham his rooftop plane will be empty again but remain a symbol of his financial success and of a life lived on 2 continents. a quick reminder now the top stories we're following for you here on news beijing has summoned to the german ambassador after the hong
