last. this is deja vu news live from berlin tractors tractors everywhere there's a. german farmers take their beefs with the government to the capital berlin and they've driven in from around the country to protest regulations they say make their lives difficult also coming up to the break into the royal palace in the german city of dresden and make off with diamond jewelry in measurable cultural values museum authorities are still figuring out what's missing . at least 13 or dad and hundreds injured as an earthquake hits albania rescue
2:01 pm
workers are trying to find people trapped in collapsed buildings but there's no word yet on how many they're looking for will get enough data from the capital tehran and i. was. she's got one of the voices of rock and roll tina turner fixating who needs another hero. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us we start here in berlin where thousands of farmers have rolled into the city to protest against the government's agricultural policies the farmers have driven in from all around the country they've been causing serious traffic jams in. in and around the capital organizers
2:02 pm
say they expect $10000.00 to join the culmination of the protest at brandenburg gate the farmers are fighting plans to introduce stricter protections of insects and the environment. germany's agricultural missed minister's tenure addressed the farmers protest the debut correspondence front is asked brendan brigade and has more on what she had to say. she spoke about the fact that. the protection of insects was very important was something that was unavoidable in agriculture and environmental issues in germany and also that the quality of german water needed to be improved and needed to be protected from further effluent from agricultural concerns and the use of fertilizers in agriculture the reaction to her speech was very interesting these farmers are organized in what groups and facebook groups and within these groups
2:03 pm
a reaction to the speech it seems to have been programmed as it would have been. predicted the farmer has met her speech with complete silence there was silence for about 30 seconds and after that a deafening roar of protests and whistles so the reception to the environment and have been minister really was not very friendly at all imes tell us more about these farmers what exactly do they want to see happen. well the fact is that this is a more or less spontaneous protest it's not beholden to any of the major agricultural organizations in germany it started as a facebook group and grew very very quickly within the last few weeks so the demands that they are actually making are not particularly clear they have reacted to further measures envisioned by the government to restrict the use of pesticides of herbicides and fertilisers and feel that these further restrictions tricks on
2:04 pm
their existence will make working in agriculture living off agriculture in germany very very difficult but their main demand if you speak to them is that they want to be heard that they feel that they have not been respected in discussions about agriculture about of environmental issues and that in some sense everything that's wrong in the environment is being put at their door that they're being blamed for all these wrongs really wanting to be heard as a major demand he did mention some of the environmental concerns for example in the u.s. and past aside to me do the farmers have a plan to address those concerns. there's no plans that you can hear amongst these farmers here at the moment they are saying of course that they know best or that they deal with the environment every day that they depend on the environment that they live off it and that they should. but i think one has to say as the environment minister said the practices in agriculture that have been used in the last decade or 2 on no longer sustainable it's clear that the quality of the
2:05 pm
environment the quality of water the number of insects that are being threatened that have died all of this actually threatens not only the existence of the farmers but it's threatens to some extent the existence of the society. at the moment there's these still seems to be much need for dialogue amongst these 2 sides but there's no apparent. narrowing of the fronts at the moment. reporting for us thank you hans. that would reads like a hollywood movie script thieves have broken into one of europe's most renowned museums and made off with priceless 18th century jewelry police in the german city of dresden are still looking for the robbers while devastated museum officials are trying to work out what they've lost. dresden screen vault museum home to one of europe's greatest collections of treasures now it's a crime scene after burglars snatched up to $95.00 pieces of early 18th century
2:06 pm
jewelry from these cabinets including diamonds and rubies this is one of the sets that was stolen exactly how many items were taken from this set is still unknown dresden police say the thieves entered through a window c.c.t.v. footage shows them heading straight to a display cabinet and smashing the glass with an axe before making off with the treasure by the time all thought is arrived at the burglars were long gone a nationwide hunt is now under way saxony state premier say security measures were considered adequate is just good as it's just a shot he says it's not just the state art collections that were problem but are saxons we now want to get a sense of the damage and the investigative work. because of it. the collection interest and was founded in the 18th century by augustus the strong elector of sex and later king of poland the jewels here are priceless. because misconduct and
2:07 pm
we can't put a value on these items as they are unmarketable therefore to simply isn't a value that we can work with there is no financial value we can work with with the jewelry to identifiable to sell in the open market the museum fears that the pieces might be broken up all melted down. the stolen jewels survived the bombings in world war 2 were carted off as beauty by the soviet union and were returned here in 1958 now dresden is hoping for their return from the hands of the thieves who vanished without a trace. and we can speak to you correspondent erin tilton he is at the crime scene in reston hi erin what is the latest you're hearing there on the investigation. so just a short while ago the police were able to actually confirm that the burned out car which was found yesterday shortly after the break in was in fact the getaway vehicle that 2 burglars used to escape from dress and green vault which you can see
2:08 pm
just behind me right now now the big question is how many times they change vehicles and if they actually then use a 2nd vehicle to leave the city that's the avenue of investigation the police are looking into right now now when it comes to the green vault right yes you can see right behind me you might be able to see that police are once again continuing their forensic investigation of the rooms itself they're looking for any d.n.a. or fiber evidence which could help them ascertain the identity of the 2 burglars who broke in here yesterday but as represent the police put it to me earlier it's kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack you have to remember the museum welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each and every day so looking for evidence of 2 men could take actually quite a long time yet erin we saw the c.c.t.v. footage and it seems like the thieves had an in-depth knowledge of the building i mean what does that say about security at the mall. or that's really one of the big open questions right now as you might be able to see it so there's
2:09 pm
a lot of dresner is actually coming and looking at the the window where the 2 thieves actually broke in and a lot of them speaking to me in are asking how could 2 men with an ax actually make it through security preparations that they put it ours is secure as for knox but the really the question is if they actually did have inside information now you mention the c.c.t.v. footage right there and really if you look at it it does kind of look like it might have been a typical smash and grab as you know we've seen in at least one berlin museum in recent years if you look at the footage they actually were able to break open the display case with an ax and the and the museum directions said they were actually prevented from taking all the pieces in there just because they were actually sewn on to the cushion they were present so it does get that could actually indicate that it was just a typical smash and grab and that the people really didn't have that type of insight in from. nation that at least a lot of people here in the street seem to think they do have so and what is likely to happen to these artifacts. well that is the 1000000 dollar question i mean
2:10 pm
people are working from 3 different scenarios right now on the one hand people think that if this was a smash and grab that many of the artifacts could then be melted down and sold for their you know basic parts is just loose diamonds on the open market other people think that will they might have actually been there working and looking for specific pieces and still others say that this might be a type of ransom style situation where you know the police or the city could then get some type of letter where the thieves actually offered to sell the pieces back at a very very high price right now the police are being very tight lipped and at least the indication from what we've been hearing from museum direction itself is that this is more of a smash and grab type operation but still it's an open question and we'll have to see exactly what type of statements we get from police and from the museum direction later in the day. aaron tilton on the scene there in dresden thank you aaron. now to some other stories making headlines around the world the chief of staff of malta government keith the schembri has resigned protesters that demanded
2:11 pm

2:12 pm
make massive gains on has been rocked by months of violent protests against beijing's rule at the opposition's landslide victory is being seen as a clear rejection of lands handling of the undressed. in albania at least 13 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in decades the 6.4 magnitude quake struck 30 kilometers northwest of the capital tirana causing buildings to collapse and sending panicked residents out onto the streets it's the 2nd earthquake to hit the country in 2 months. earlier i spoke with alice taylor a journalist in the albanian capital tirana at the moment it's very difficult to see if the ruins on tenterhooks taping is going to be no more aftershocks and the race is on to try and who are trapped in the rubble in jersey and maybe an hour and a half to get. another building collapsed with 7 people inside 2 bodies leukemic of
2:13 pm
age but they haven't been able to locate the other 5 people inside who are all members of the same family and it's believed there are countless out there is potentially still trapped inside the bubble of collapsed buildings the death toll at the moment which is 13 is expected to rise as the day continues now if we just bring this name or aftershocks well as people raced to rescue gates who is still missing we're talking hundreds of people have been injured alice however hospital's been coping. to say there is danger to 600 people being injured. and state hospitals from what i gather it's been coping quite well but 2 of the largest private hospitals in the country which have multiple outlets surveyed and their tools are no huge free health care to anyone injured as a result of the earthquake so i mean i find it amazing that they're taking anyone with any injuries and charging them through it so it is been a real effort to help those people he needed. and alice this is the 2nd quake in
2:14 pm
albania in 2 months how concerned are authorities that there could be more quakes coming. d.c.s. this could be king to maybe coup so many goldens have suffered damage and in the fast make that. other quake today which is of much. sure what's going to happen is another quake i mean even to a 4 points to back machines could have devastating consequences on buildings that have already being severely damaged in the recent quake and so i guess the government's really going to have to step up and do some very star a structural analysis of the properties that it damaged to make sure people say whether they can do that we don't think. journalist alice taylor speaking to us from tirana thank you very much and. london's transport authority has refused a new license for over it's a major blow to the ride sharing platform regulators say the decision is based on

definitely do. now to the question of how to treat cancer in the gaza strip the best option is to go to israel for the right there but that means leaving home and family and jumping through administrative hoops it's a symptom of how the decades long conflict in the region affects the most personal stories did any of all of one teenager who had to leave everything he knew to get a chance at a future. mahmoud is 13 years old she was diagnosed with bone cancer 18 months ago before that he was a talented soccer player who loved singing. his father manages to keep the family going with odd jobs but he has no idea how he'll ever manage to pay for his son's treatment didn't you can imagine what it's like you have a son he's happy healthy boy you play soccer he's always having fun even one of the best players then comes the shock of your life. my dad

2:19 pm
quieter over the course of his illness he hasn't been to school for a year his father doesn't want him to lose contact with his friends so as often as possible he takes them to an aid organization that has afternoon care for kids. meanwhile mahmoud's father has to apply for his son's travel to east jerusalem hundreds of relatives of seriously ill patients are waiting for the travel permit 1st the palestinian national authority has to agree to the trip and then the israeli government has to approve it. the permit finally arrives and the trip is set to begin in the early morning. but maku doesn't want to leave he doesn't want to be away from his siblings or his parents. he wants to stay at home and he's terrified of dying.
2:20 pm
finally his parents managed to convince him to go with his grandmother at his side . then at the border there's another surprise his grandmother is not allowed to leave gaza and no reason is given. instead mahmoud's mother will know accompanying her son but they have to leave immediately. then it finally happens mahmoud and his mother enter israel together. to victoria hospital is on the mount of olives in east jerusalem. lockwood's treatment this time lasts 4 hours. and of course i think about dying we read verses from the koran we pray more we ask god to help us on the line. now over the course of several months mahmud has had 30 chemo sessions in east jerusalem. and he's doing well. the doctors
2:21 pm
