it for things that we find has a good purpose better health getting more easier from aid to be fighting pollution in there in areas where we want to grease freely so lots and lots of things not just a competition between china and the u.s. can you give us an example maybe one company one thing that gives you hope that europe is actually able to catch up. well you see both i think that the one that most of us know would be specified because that is for us as a suster mars but way you find mist of them is in the business to business environment you know my colleague plant only came from it's us they do exactly that french commissioner exactly the french commissioner that has delivered for businesses to be able to do the 2nd one of course would be a safety which also of dealing in the business to business environment providing the date the number crunching to nibble businesses to do them best and what will you do i mean how will you go about your job now you've been in the last commission

with to include your go do you have a different approach this time more energy less energy how are you going to do this . but i think it is a commission of of new beginnings and i think we feel more confidence was left on the line says that this is going to be more geo political which is to be sort of a more assertive europe and more self-assured europe europe ready to take its place also on the global scale so is your message if i read this correctly to the competition in the us and in china get ready europe is coming. but we are coming from for our own sake because this is about making europe better for us as europeans i think in that process will also be very competitive as to what the others are going to vis always a pleasure talking to you thank you very much good luck with that back to you sumi . all right in malta a series of high level resignations has rocked the government that's a scandal grows of the murder of the investigative journalist daphne. more than 2

northwest of the capital tirana and we want to warn our viewers that you might find some of the images and our next report disturbing. i rescuers work into the night to free people from the deputy. finding survivors of albania's worst earthquake in 30 years is a slow and delicate operation but it is year old ing results. a man has pulled out of a collapsed building alive into one of the towns hardest hit by the quake it's around 20 kilometers from the epicenter. that out of there but many were not so lucky. earlier in the same town a child's body was found. the quake struck early on tuesday morning when most of the people here were asleep in bed. in my

bedroom went to my kid's room and the door just slammed on me like hurt both my arms this is horrible i mean there were. numerous off the shops followed the main quake adding to the fear and causing further damage albania is one of the poorest countries in europe and its neighbors were quick to offer help teams from its legal research romania are already helping in rescue operations. while the water was using hand signals rescue was asked to silence as they listened for cries of people trapped under the wreckage many people are still missing their families are hoping and praying they will be found alive. u.s. president donald trump is in slower they are rallying his supporters he can't ignore the continuing impeachment inquiry which is gathering pace and wait but he says it's an attempt by what he calls the establishment to stop him from working for the people did he use public was at the rally. one thing

bill does the president from home coming here to the state of florida. residents here recently from new york publicans of course are focused on 2020 this is an important swing state which from one bike in 2016 but the ongoing impeachment inquiry has cost a long shadow over president's almost trump he remains defiant it's a terrible hoax last week someone testified that i told him quote what he wants through ukraine i said i want nothing this is a quote i want no way pro quo i want nothing tell president still it's going to do the right thing a the failed washington establishment is trying to stop me because i'm fighting for you and because we're winning a very simple oh are polls here in the united states about voters are

divided over whether president from should be impeached and removed from office to supporters here in florida i've shown that there's a board for him is the only way. i think that it's very make it less and they don't have any theory of anything it's all this. way that people interpret things. each of them have been asked and none of them have any evidence or it's completely ridiculous has no basis. i think it's just a political we're trying to think if they had with me to go to be done. with me talking about it or you can. think they have it's a big bluff sidetracking it's the same thing i was going to see maybe they are trying to boost their next negativity and raising i think it's ridiculous i definitely think people should be able to have their opinions if they don't like trump that's ok but he's really done nothing wrong that chicano seems to be

a piece to you. well you know what the ongoing impeachment inquiry entries a new phase next week but this week is thanksgiving here in the united states and president trump is staying here in florida to enjoy several days off. william no uncle croft is following the story for us he's with us here in our studio hi william we know the trump supporters are still behind and we saw that in that piece as well but what about the rest of the country that's right trump supporters they are die hard but they're not by no means a majority in trump's going to be a lot more than just his die hard core supporters who we just saw to get him through 2020 now last week wrapped up this long series of public testimony of a career lifelong career diplomatic and intelligence military people in the u.s. government and now this week we're able to see what some of that has done to public opinion we've actually seen an increase in support especially among democrats and of course and also independents and overall there's a

a few percent increase in support for impeachment and republicans of course they're they're rather disfavor both only about 1112 percent which is not surprising but we are seeing more support for impeachment which is not necessarily mean that americans want to see trump removed from office but they are in favor of this increase in korea going forward and possibly even formally impeaching him so what is next for the impeachment inquiry so i said these public testimonies have wrapped up although adam schiff the chairman of the house intelligence committee says there might still be more testimonies to come he's not sure but they are his committee is writing a report based on all of their findings all the evidence they've gathered over these last several weeks they're going to forward that that to the judiciary committee which then may draw up the actual articles of impeachment for the house to vote on before christmas that would formalize the impeachment or excuse me that would that would then impeach the president which would then move the trial in the senate to maybe january at the same time the judiciary committee is having hearings

of their own they're inviting. scholars to have a rather discussion about the merits of impeachment the judiciary committee has also invited the president and his lawyers to attend why yeah well there's precedent for it in past impeachment process sees the president has had an opportunity at this at this stage of the process to have a say to cross. cross-examine witnesses to bring their own wouldn't bring their own questioning about and of course remember trump is republican allies have been saying all along this is a sham process is a witch hunt it's a it's a soviet era like. fake trial we don't have our ability to to have our own safety of our own side of the story so here is natal essentially calling trumps bluff saying come on bring your people bring your lawyers bring your side of the story and here's your chance trump has to walk that fine line between not legitimizing what he sees as a fake process without totally rejecting democratic offers because it will make it

might make him look to be the partisan one how damaging is all of this for the president i mean actual terms as we all know not much if the trial go does go to the senate the republicans have a lock on the senate they probably will not get that 2 thirds majority you would need to actually remove from from office but all of this information that's coming out all of this alleged wrongdoing that's coming out that as we see in the polls is having an impact on how americans are thinking and even if doesn't meet the criteria of a of impeachable offenses or to remove be removed from office voters might have a make another decision come 2020 and removed from from office himself and that is the risk that trump faces with all this information coming out about him but we're going to see just how public opinion swings in the months ahead all right william no clue cruft thank you so much for joining us in studio. germany great young kinsman has been named coach of the bundesliga team have to berlin until the end of the season the 990 world cup winner and former germany

coach takes over from the sacked. had to have lost their last 4 wins the games since mine last coached the u.s. national team but he was fired in 2016 he joined the have to have board as an adviser earlier this month. it's a big news in the bundesliga dave reneke some good if you sports is here to tell us more about this hi dave fans here in germany will always remember that 2006 team and how his team won the hearts of the nation is this something that he can actually do at heritage as well yeah i mean that's definitely his famous moment as a manager that 2006 i mean final run in the world cup they still call it the summer fairytale here in germany but it's a totally different thing to do something like that. i mean on paper i think it's a good fit for the club she's a big name which i think kind of fits the profile for her to have been looking for a capital club they're looking for a bit more relevant relevance in flash and he also has the thought as he said he's

been on the board already his son even played for the club and you some he's not afraid to mix things up which could be just what they need right now and that time in 2006 that run that really galvanized the team in the face of the nation and brought the nation together is still a really important sporting and cultural moment in germany and i think i mean just be focusing more on just survival at this point so it'll be a different look but that was 2006 and his record as a manager since then hasn't actually been that good yeah that is very true i'm an american and a fan of u.s. soccer where he coached for 5 years so i followed his more recent can career pretty closely and personally he has depressed me pretty deeply as a man. of course in $24.00 to. we the u.s. had a solid run and got out of the knockout round but failing to qualify for the 2018 world cup with the resources of the united states is historically bad and he also

has very limited club coaching experience is only other time coaching a club team and not a national team was that byron munich in 20082009 he was fired before he could even finish off a season so i think there are a lot of question marks on what exactly he'll be able to do now that as you said we're so far removed from his best moments and he's out a club team and just quickly is he in for the long term so he signed until the end of the season if you does really well i'm sure they'd like to extend him but that depends totally on his performance all right dave reneke from sports with the big news your complaints man now taking over coach lin thank you very much for joining us now to champions league football and rail madrid and paris the points in a thrilling encounter in spain madrid join the french team now in the knockout rounds madrid looks set to coast to victory thanks to 2 goals from tyrion benzema but p.s.g. mounted a late comeback. pay and public said i.b.s.

dropped balls to make it 2 to a p.s.g. finish on top of the. now they've changed our lifestyles our logistics even our landscapes but until now we've always been in the driving seat now with cars on the brink of a driverless era an exhibition at london's victoria and albert museum looks at their wide ranging cultural impact. looks just like a troy sickle but it's actually the 1st car a bench from 888 next to the famous to the motor ford from not you know a the advent of the assembly line 1st so that's why it's a mass production of motorized vehicles with serious consequences for society they looked at ford and what had been achieved there with the model t. so you find a lot of design is. thinking about what the future of design might be so you know about house design is in particular what we showcase in the submission piece start

to think about standardize ation as a way of producing more goods more quickly and what they were really interested in thinking about how these to design could be made cheap and more available to more people this church was the 1st streamlined motor to hit the road back in learning 234. and then we see that now by infiltrates into all the product design and all the functions as well so streamlining really becomes this sort of is that tick of maternity so we can see this house on this flight suit as well which is probably rather propped but really uses the streamlined stuff to show you got the idea of rushing stream learning to for the course on a not just for france and great sources but also for the 1st votes. and diminishment to campus scooter. because rich facilitated the tourism boom in

europe after the 2nd world war. relatively affordable as they could travel quite long distances so people could could use them. go away on holidays away people can then drive to places that they would otherwise be unable to visit and kind of you know suddenly experience a whole other world. and the expression shows how eventually the car turned from symbol of freedom to symbol of environmental destruction. and. how we can design a better world and there are many ways to do that but i think we can draw a lot of lessons from the changes and the impact the car has had on the past 130 years of history both for good and for bad to understand how we might think again the future of mobility. mobility is changing more rapidly than ever before and if you're not sure how best to get around you might just find some
