oh. this is deja vu news live from berlin a boost for the eurozone slacking economy the european central bank on bills a fresh stimulus plan interest rates are cut even more and the bond buying program is back but will it have the desired effect also coming up a dispute between germany and trying to escalate over a hong kong hong kong democracy activists visit to berlin beijing summons the german ambassador after a meeting between joshua long and germany's foreign minister in the german capital china is now accusing germany of meddling in its affairs. hundreds of nigerians

back at home after a spate of attacks on foreigners in south africa but with chronic unemployment in their homeland what does the future hold for them. and the killer diseases that are entirely preventable the world health organization sounds the alarm over defining facts and they should brace worldwide. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us within the last hour the european central bank has unveiled a fresh stimulus plan ended boosting the eurozone economy now among the measures another cut in interest rates pushing borrowing costs further into negative territory now this is part of efforts to get inflation to just under 2 percent the level economists and the e.c.b. are actually aiming for that was here's what the president of the e.c.b.

mario draghi had to say about the move. the outlook for rio g.d.p. growth has been revised down for 2019 and 2020 the recent rounding the year oyur growth outlook remained 2 to 2 the downside. these risks mainly pertain to the prolonged presence of uncertainties related to geopolitical factors the rising threat to protection is an vulnerabilities in emerging markets. let's go to our markets correspondent conrad burns in is standing by for us in frankfurt hi conrad we heard from mario draghi there are some of the reasons behind this move but tell us what exactly are these measures need. now i mean this is a bold and surprisingly bold move by the european central bank this lowering of the deposit rate further down in negative territory that means that the european

central bank really wants to force the commercial banks to give out money as loans as much as they can in order to keep businesses afloat to keep businesses liquid to make sure that they have enough money now the restart of the bad of the bomb purchases that the e.c.b. also announced. a 20000000000 euros worth of bond purchases each month starting november 1st that was a very big surprise for most people on the markets and it means that the e.c.b. really wants to make sure that interest rates all over remain super low for a significant amount of time so that borrowing costs really are not a problem can read tell us about how investors have been reacting are they confident that this will help jumpstart the eurozone economy. well in terms of

prices there was a bit of a reaction the euro dollar exchange rate immediately made a plunge to the downside which of course is related to the fact that lower interest rates that returns less on the euro. the other reactions i could only gather them by talking to people on the trading floors and in frankfurt germany financial center and as you know my 1st answer has indicated that there was a big surprise and there are i have to say many doubts whether even bolder and even more generous monetary policy by the central bank will really be the right remedy to give the economy a boost there are more and more economists and up only conservative german ones who are convinced that the potential of monetary policy makers to really boost the economy of the real economy has been exhausted and that on the contrary it would be

much better if the e.c.b. became a bit more conservative so that it's the real economy that it's economy policies by governments and also fiscal policies to as the c.p. calls it do their homework and do something to make the economy work again all right our financial correspondent contribution for us in frankfurt thank you china has formally summoned the german ambassador to beijing after a meeting between the german foreign minister michael moscow and the hong kong protest leader joshua wang in berlin this week during his visit one called on the german government to publicly condemn police violence and abuse of power during the ongoing demonstrations in hong kong now in a direct verbal attack on an important trading partner beijing is warning of negative consequences for relations between china and germany. it was just 30 day and then he came to the german capital with a message for i'm going to mexico and other world leaders is

a must for to 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 to hong kong to face the next tenement square massacre happened for decades 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 as a fan as. the only go. and see what happens you know i'm fortunately have to say will have negative consequences on bilateral relations and china will have to react. to the. at berlin's home old university just one packed tight 3 he had 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 be that good job if you like it even at like a hero is that he just here he is there on this about it that he is the facilitator and he let the nose of the bottle to the 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. activism with the skillz the 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 returns to hong kong but 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to gain more

support the hong kong's pro-democracy movement. all right let's get some analysis on all of this we have our chief political correspondent linda crane here in berlin and our correspondent in hong kong good to see you both melinda let's start with you so how is the german government reacting to beijing's quite harsh criticism of the joshua ones visit. the foreign ministry rejected the criticism saying that it is perfectly normal procedure for the former and foreign minister to meet with a representative of civil society from another country and yesterday in her speech to parliament the chancellor said very clearly that human rights are indispensable to germany regard to the hong kong chinese tensions and that she had conveyed that message on her visit to beijing last week she also said that germany absolutely stands by the principle of one land 2 systems when it comes to china and hong kong

that said there is an element of caution here in berlin as well the chancellor herself has not met with joshua long and her spokesperson emphasized that this week and this visit by mr wong to berlin is not an official government sponsored visit in any way in fact it is the host the visit is a german tabloid newspaper the boot sayto and it was a reception by that newspaper that was the place where the foreign minister met joshua when they're just one did also hold a press conference here in berlin yesterday what more did he have to say. indeed he had 3 clear messages to the german government he said that he would like to hear a more direct public condemnation of the violence that's been used against protesters and also of abuses of power he also said that he thinks the german government should stop selling equipment to the hong kong police as long as there

is ongoing violence being used by the police in crowd control and thirdly he said that he thinks germany should tie trade more closely to human rights for example possibly suspending trade with china or imposing sanctions and or inserting human rights clauses into trade agreements with china so 3 very clear messages to the german government all right much yes let's come to you now and get beijing's perspective on all of this why is china so upset about this visit. beijing is extremely nervous about what's happening in hong kong the protests have gone into their 4th month no and they do not show any sign of dying out beijing the hong kong government have tried lots of things to scare away protesters to suppress the movement to calm down the protests none of this has worked and these protests are now threatening to overshadow beijing celebrations of founding

the seventy's and the verse 3 of the founding of the people's republic of china and that is something that is angering beijing off of course beijing is trying to limit the space for its critics abroad it has been doing so for some years companies who have for example listed taiwan not as a province of china but as a separate entity have felt beijing and had to change their websites and printed materials and governments have also been under pressure not to meet with beijing's critics in 2005 and met with the dalai lama. met was a diplomatic response and economic sanctions by the beijing government she has not met the dalai lama after and no other western leader is meeting the dalai lama has been meeting the dalai lama in recent years and social long was now one of the most prominent critics of beijing is probably experiencing

a similar thing pressure on foreign governments is mounting not to meet with him not to give his criticism a platform some material what about this direct response from beijing that there could be consequences for ties between china and germany what could that mean. while it starts with diplomatic responses german deployments would not get appointments with senor fishes or would hard to get to a point that the senior officials not be invited to some events diplomatic events celebrations at cetera it could go further sanctions on german companies or inspections that german companies suddenly face economic threats and in the end there could also be a boy caught it has happened before north korea japan they all have experienced boycotts by the chinese public incited by the government on their companies however

china at this moment needs germany in this critical period of the trade war with the united states and it is not likely that will escalate to the maximum at this moment but some at least diplomatic sanctions are probably going to be felt in the next few months all right our correspondents munda crane in berlin and my chest beating up there in hong kong thank you both very much. now to some other stories making news around the world russian investigators have raided the homes and offices of opposition supporters linked to kremlin critic alexina valving the raids took place in. nearly 40 cities across russia with computers and other equipment confiscated it comes just days after allies of president vladimir putin suffered major losses in moscow city elections. southeastern spain has been battered by severe rain and flash floods in the valencia region to rental rain caused the claudia know river to burst its banks loving homes and forcing the evacuation of

surrounding areas more extreme storms are expected in the coming hours. the body of zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe has been lying in state at his private residence and harare mugabe's family says he will be buried next week in his home village and knocked out a national monument remains arrived on wednesday from singapore where he died at the age of 95. 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 but while there is relief at having escaped many say they are uncertain what the future holds for them at home is fighting for char was one of the 1st international correspondents to meet the return ease at the airport in lagos she sent us this report. 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 that south africa after 7 years because of the xenophobic attacks she says she has brought her child with her it brings to my. question. what's the plan for your future and what are you hoping to force probably 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 study

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. they don't. give you. a question that a senior assistant of president bihari is eager to answer that 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 was the institution is communicating 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 189 people arrive on the 1st plane tired exhausted and confused expecting more from the government.

all government needs to provide something was like electricity water on good roads you understand me. very basic means to start a business like they had in south africa where they could make a living but were they no longer. vaccination is one of the greatest successes of public health saving an estimated $2500000.00 lives every year but vaccination rates are declining and that is leading to outbreaks of preventable diseases around the world it's a problem that is being addressed today by the global bax a nation summit in brussels the event is being hosted by the european commission and the world health organization. not too long ago laughter filled this fisherman's family home in madagascar but now the family is trying to cope with their grief they lost 3 children in january due to

a measles infection they couldn't afford to vaccinate them. and it was all goes we'll but we didn't expect that they might die if they didn't get vaccinated that the fact that they were not vaccinated would kill them. madagascar is struggling to contain its worst outbreak of measles in decades amid a desperate shortage of vaccines the highly contagious illness increases susceptibility to other diseases and can cause blindness brain swelling and death so far over 1200 people have died in the epidemic most of them children. and madagascar is not alone worldwide many countries are reporting an unprecedented rise of measles many of these cases could have been easily prevented with vaccination but like madagascar are some countries simply don't have access to the vaccines they need. and in high income countries where they are

available some people opt to not vaccinate themselves and their children. they wrongly believe that vaccines are harmful there are absolutely families communities people who are subject to misinformation they have the wrong information about not only the disease severity and the risks of disease they don't understand the truth of the matter but they also have misinformation about the effectiveness of vaccines and the safety of vaccines and we do see misinformation as an increasing threat. the so-called anti vax movement fears that vaccines are unsafe ineffective and produce serious side effects saying that they can even cause autism scientists say there is no evidence for any of that. yet the

misinformation is gaining momentum on social media now health professionals and governments are looking for solutions including making vaccinations mandatory and imposing fines on parents who refuse in madagascar are over 7000000 children have been vaccinated in an emergency response parents here are happy that vaccinations are available again many know what losing a child to measles feels like and hope they never have to endure such grief ever again. and we can speak now to ethan lindenberg at the global vaccination summit in brussels ethan's a leading critic of anti vaccine campaigns ethan thank you for joining us we have to start with your personal story because you got vaccinated against your mother's wishes tell us what happened. yeah of course when i was growing up my mom believe that actions cause autism and brain damage and show

a lot of misinformed perceptions about vaccines and so when i turned 18 i had the legal option to get back to my home state of ohio in the u.s. so i pursued that and got vaccines for measles polio and other really extreme diseases that i previously was not vaccinated against because of those missed this information that she was given and even how did she react to that. well so because of the misinformation brought it to her and these false ideas that vaccines were dangerous getting my vaccines was scary to her she thought that i could potentially harm myself and encouraging my siblings to harm themselves as well and even still she hold this belief said things that my advocacy and talking about this publicly is a very scary and again dangerous and harmful platform to be providing you mentioned your advocacy you really have become a leading voice in fighting misinformation campaigns who is behind these campaigns and why have they been so successful. see the anti misinformation campaigns that i've been involved with are extremely large and you alongside organizations like

the debate show the c.d.c. and the european commission ever trying to fight misinformation to get better education to this individuals that really has a tense right questions and just increase the trust in science and health of the medical industry and so i've been working alongside them and trying to come alongside these organizations individuals to spread that message of vaccines. so that's why bit where he went and what they were doing as well and are you confident that you can convince people that the vaccines are safe and effective and as we said you haven't been able to convince your own mother of the fact perhaps. one of the things i spoke about today was that vaccines have the science has been concluded and that they're safe and effective and that people who think that they think that cause autism i think that they're dangerous or incorrect in their misinformed and it's very difficult to change their minds my mom will probably never change her mind and will probably go to her deathbed thinking vaccines are dangerous and because of that even i spoke today at the european commission here at

the global vaccination summit even say i can i encourage everyone that was listening to focus on prevention and early education intervention to show people back to a safe and effective before they're misinformed and so even though i have doubts i seriously do not think that people like my mother will ever change their mind there are other options available to stop the spread of misinformation and deadly diseases are right ethan limburger joining us there a from the global vaccination summit in brussels thank you very much. thank you so much. right now when you're proud of what you've achieved in life sometimes you just want to shout it out from the rooftops well that is precisely what some homeowners are doing in india punjab state has more on their crowning glory. a larger than life a bit bizarre and a little showy this village in the indian state of punk job there are all kinds of statues including a tank a boat

a kangaroo and there are many many airplanes but it seems the bigger they are the better. some talk sing owns the largest he rents it out as a party venue. he's loved plains 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. weepin 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 is 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 in europe and the usa or 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 for family members already overseas but what's the point of all these statues when no one's around anymore to see them send talks things wife by shan would rather be with their grandchildren in england. my husband has always done what he wanted to. have 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 send a real airplane and head back to birmingham his rooftop party plane will be empty again but remain a symbol of his financial success and of
