2:13 pm
of images to be captured and one thing that hasn't changed is qana because it's still here today. famous for its color borst cannot has been selling sausages for 90 he is now and still serves the same menu the kleins today and different though. we are this used to be a working class neighborhood there were factories everywhere everyone dropped in here after their shift or on their way to work. the book ate for most east berlin as this was the end of the world today the city has been reunited but forget donegal somethin still remains. i mean it's a thought if i still have the wall in my head. and when i travel across a on public transportation in my mind i'm traveling from east to west or from west to east that's just stayed in my head. professionally and that's why
2:14 pm
i'm envious of the young people who do not have the same side on them. but those who were born after the war what were manes is just part of history. and that report by. the oldest you can be used fresh live coverage and reports of the events which led to the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago right here on the. turning of the u.s. and presidential elections on to sierra way and donald trump could be heading for a tough race an average of all the opinion polls put strom's approval ratings at just about 41 percent but look seriously for him almost 55 percent of americans disapprove of the job that he's doing a key question is who will trump face in the 2020 election. most fullest predict that if it's full of vice president joe biden then we lose that many people who
2:15 pm
suggest that the look for aggressive democratic candidate elizabeth warren could also have a slight edge over trump opinion polls there's just one beef assessing which way the election could go another is to look at bellwether regions now richland county in wisconsin has truth to be a reliable indicator since $980.00 the county has all of us voted for the winning candidate so the dumbass correspondent all of us salat travel to richland to good gauge the mood that feeding time for dairy farmer mark stalls and his calves like most people in richland county stoltz voted for president trump in 2016 but twice for barack obama in the elections before this time he says the political mood is anything but clear. more than most people saw i don't i we don't talk a whole lot about it but it can get very testy very quickly even within our family
2:16 pm
i've got to give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give me even though you voted for trump in the last election marks told hears of all the key democratic issues like health care and climate change he also wants an end to the president's trade more farmers like him particularly hard he says. so that that's hurt we don't have a good place to ship malchen way products and cheese and you know it's all right on the markets got a lot of milk and cheese on it and americans are drinking less milk wisconsin lost over $600.00 dairy farms in the last year. richland center with its 5000 citizens is the largest town in richland county a bellwether for the presidential election since 1980 the majority here has always voted for the winning candidate. richland county is traditionally a republican county. do we always vote that way you know i
2:17 pm
wouldn't vote for a i don't like him my doesn't think i think if he keep his mouth shut if they offer twitter he would be fine i think it's with all the impeachment so it's going to be very noisy and interesting for the next year but if i was betting today i would bet he'll get elected again. at the local newspaper editor dawn key 1st says left and right wing supporters in the county are fighting for the public's attention she is often criticized for printing opinion letters that are too critical of president trump. i suggest to those persons they ought to write letters their their own selves expressing their beliefs but most of those people declined and they don't explain why not i suspect they don't want their name in the paper. dairy farmer remarks told says the decisive factor for him will be who the democratic contender is if the candidate is too progressive he might stick with
2:18 pm
donald trump even if that means more suffering for him and the farmers richland county. it was indeed the news still to come nickel sacks and big changes on the way for germany's most successful football club what next for the mighty brian. but for the fast food chain mcdonald's has fired its chief executive for having a consensual relationship with an employee in a statement the fast food giants board said steve easterbrook had violated company policy and josh meant company policy forbids managers from having romantic relationships with subordinates and mcdonald's shares have almost doubled to book took over in 2015 he also leave the board of directors. thank you for. this instance joins me for more on that story. not this relationship was
2:19 pm
consensual why then it was to leave well as you mentioned donald the rules do prohibit monitors from having any kind of relationship of a sexual nature with subordinates easterbrook as the c.e.o. of the company by definition contact with anybody at work and we don't know if this person in question was a fellow high ranking executive or if maybe the person was a flipping burgers but what we do know is that the reason that these rules are in place is to prevent abuse of power and if you think about the fact that steve easterbrook last year earned just $16000000.00 that's 2 cyzon times as much as the median salary at mcdonald's there's certainly an argument to be made that an equal and even a relationship between him and anyone else his workplace is impossible and mcdonald's isn't the only company that has these kinds of rules in place and in fact last year intel's boss actually stepped down for the very same reason for having
2:20 pm
a consensual relationship with an employee the key does give us some context here it seems mcdonald to some time very good record in ensuring the safety and security of few 1000000 please it seems that's right so if you look at the fast food sector in general in the u.s. 1st of all one in 4 employees say they have been sexually harassed at work and the majority of these victims are women of color working in low wage jobs and many of them say that they face the choice of either speaking out or keeping their jobs and mcdonald's is no exception at all in this regard earlier this year 25 women across 20 different cities in the united states filed complaints about sexual harassment at work and these allegations range from inappropriate touching to soliciting sex and this of course generated a huge amount of negative publicity for mcdonald's there were protests across the country and they did react and under the leadership of steve easterbrook they introduced some measures to try and combat this problem so there was. an anonymous hotline introduced an extra training but you can see in this context that it's not
2:21 pm
a great look for steve easterbrook to be having what the company itself deems to be an inappropriate relationship when they're at the same time trying to crack down on this kind of abuse of power and course this is also really you can't neglect movements like need to time's up in its context because we're now living in an era where the behavior of powerful men is no law it's no longer being turned a blind eye today it's coming under scrutiny and while the cynic might say that this was simply a preemptive move on the part of my mouth an optimist might say it's just an instance of corporate rigor and responsibility get ferguson from. thank you. here here's some more news stories in the news at the moment relatives of more than 100 murdered or missing women have marched in mexico city on sunday the rally in the mexican cab to was to protest against violence against women in the country 9 women and girls are killed in mexico every day that's according to the united

2:23 pm
coach on sunday night. until the middle of 2021. been with the. and after a shaky. season but recent weeks have seen inconsistent results and discord within the team after the frankfurt debacle. this is what has happened is not a fluke if you saw the cup game in bochum last week and what has happened isn't really a big surprise to me it's kind of reasonable rational or super that can just be blamed on getting a red card early and the guy gets the order card to nothing worked out. so now we are in a situation which we have to confront a woman jones was another we will have to analyze things and talk about it but of course we have to change something even cover himself saw the need for improvement
