because. being commission president is a topic that is not particularly easy. so you don't mind me of the title of the book i received recently. the most difficult job of do with. more on the story now with max hoffman in brussels hi max it's really an end of an era there in brussels with the both presidents of the european council and the commission donald tusk younger handing over the reins and you heard just held his very last briefing how did he sum up his time. there were some regrets some satisfaction as we just heard in the sound bite but as usual with the public appearances but there were also anecdotes there was laughter and of course we journalists we took advantage of the situation to also pay our respects to a man who has been shaping european politics now in various function for 30 years and was very dedicated to that cause so apart from the laughter there was also a moment when i got very serious when he talked about the state of the rule of law

in the european union saying that he was highly concerned and that he would ask his successor the german funda law and to watch out for europe because europe needs watching out at the moment that's what he said and after that of course he went back to being jim crow don't go just guess what his last 2 words his last 2 words in this office were in front of all of the journalists of brussels you would expect something very high flying but it was i'm hungry. and elegant exit there. looking ahead what are the challenges facing the incoming president michelle and was enough on the line. 2 different institutions so 2 different challenges will be the head of the european council so that's the institution where you have all the heads of state and governments of the member states gathering together it will be a little easier for him because he knows all these heads of state and governments all these leaders because he was one himself the belgian prime minister until

recently so that transition should be rather smooth and that was enough underlined different story huge administration with the european commission and they'll take a while to shape this administration in a way that it works for her and her goals and her goals are quite clear she told them to us this week in the european parliament at the beginning or the middle of the week one is the digitalization where you're briley lags behind and it states of america and china for example but her biggest goal by far is fighting climate change and establishing what she calls green deal for europe she wants to do that within the 1st $100.00 days at least lay out the plan that is a challenge of a tall order. and reporting for us there in brussels thank you max. in malta the government has turned down a deal with a key suspect who wants to tell all in the case of the murder of a journalist. she was investigating government corruption when she was killed in

a car bomb attack 2 years ago angry protesters gathered outside the prime minister's office as he held a 7 hour emergency cabinet meeting last night earlier this week the prime minister's former chief of staff he's tempering was arrested over alleged links to the case he was later released without charge among the protesters was a son who's also an investigative journalist so we're here because even though there is rock solid evidence that the prime minister soon forced off is probably the biggest criminals of this country has of us seen the police have just let him go so we've been brutus going for 3 years because there's ample evidence in the public domain that the prime the search for self is completely kora just yesterday we found all the doctors possibly accomplish it in a murder and that's for sure he helps to cover up without a murder and the prime minister still protecting him they're in there probably

discussing how they're going to work things out either to give the chamber his job back or to help him get to get him to our compuware he cannot be extradited back to the north is completely outrageous. after the marathon cabinet meeting prime minister joseph muscat emerged to give a news conference and he said he would not be granting a pardon to the main suspect in the murder inquiry businessman your god panic he is reportedly seeking to do a deal that would give him immunity from prosecution in exchange for information about the case the prime minister also repeated that he intended to stay in office at least until the probe is ended. will give us this assessment of where things stand now the expected resignation of joseph moscow the prime minister did not happen tonight. because he cannot see the slightest reason why he should step down are the people in his cabinet and allegations that have been made against them to be implicated in corruption and into ordering the murder against the journalist

they just sort of wipe them off without even commenting on it so multiple carry on for a while even though this is the deepest flew the coop crisis the island has ever seen now to some more stories making news around the world rescue crews in albania are winding down their operation to find survivors of tuesday's deadly earthquake the operation is now focused on a collapsed beachfront hotel in the port town of duress 49 people have been confirmed dead across the region rocked by the 6.4 magnitude quake. transitional authorities in sudan have adopted a law dissolving the former ruling party the dismantling of the islamist national congress party was a key demand of the protest movement that ousted omar al bashir in april authorities also scrapped an oppressive public order law used to regulate women's behavior. and 3 men have been sentenced to decades in prison for plotting a terror attack in melbourne australia the trio had sworn allegiance to the

a similar statement the hong kong and macau affairs office and also the news authors who usually dealing with affairs between hong kong and china they also accuse the us of interfering in china's internal affairs and also being a culprit of instability in hong kong while china has mentioned that it would react with some measures yesterday and the u.s. would have to bear all the consequences they haven't mentioned want these content measures will be so it's do is still unclear what china is planning to do next what about hong kong or cherry do the protesters here feel emboldened by recent support . right hong kong protesters are really happy about the passage of this bill for them this is a huge victory because actually for the past few months activists have been campaigning for this being a prominent activists like joshua bell and the news hole they even went to you as

to campaign to ask for the u.s. government for their support and actually. less life it 3 pro-democracy district councillors last week and most here in hong kong has remained quite calm and relaxed saying people are still celebrating but there's also a small group of protestors who are quite cautious because they think that this is not true for them and this should not be the end of the movement so many are now discussing actually what they put doing next ok so things have been calm this week but there are more protests expected at this evening as well as over the weekend what can we expect. actually protests this evening has already ended and people were gathering outside. pretty. consulate in hong kong to ask for support from the u.k. government because one of its former employee he was detained in china for 15 days

and he recently talked to media about being tortured during detention so i protest us we're asking for support from the u.k. but after several hours after they have had a letter to the representative they left peacefully but this is not the only protest this weekend and they are several other protests planned for the weekend so we are seeing that hong kong people are still going on with this movement to diffuse ceri chen reporting there in hong kong thank you. while the political turmoil in hong kong is wreaking havoc on travel and tourism there according to the reuters news agency the airline cathay pacific will have to cut passenger capacity by 1.4 percent next year earlier kathy was actually planning to boost capacity to hong kong international airport but the company says the commercial environment continues to deteriorate discount carrier hong kong airlines has also announced it's delaying payments to staff for this month saying its business has been

severely affected by the political unrest. and we have monica jones from did have your business with more on this story hi monica so what about fewer flights in and out of hong kong what's the impact on airlines well obviously it's not good because hong kong for not just the cathay pacific but also for south african airways malaysia's an asia group all the big airlines of the regions for them hong kong is the major destination and they've all had to come to flights due to the drop in passenger numbers in fact the hong kong airport authority reported for october a 13 percent drop in passenger numbers and a more than 6 percent drop in flights coming in and out and that's the steepest falls since those undress the political turmoil in hong kong began the good news is because there's a downside to cutting flights the good news is that all those airlines won't immediately lose the air slots which normally would happen if you don't use them and that will be a problem because a it's very difficult to get an asphalt in hong kong airports because they lack

capacity they're building a 3rd runway but that won't go into operation until the 2024 so the hong kong civil aviation departments and suspend the so-called usage or roosted rule until march which is the end of the winter season that gives the airlines a little bit of breathing space. a drop in air traffic of course what does that mean then for hong kong well for hong kong for the economy in hong kong that's really bad news i mean it's a big business big financial hub business choose they'll still have to go there. tourists will think twice and they do tourism is very important for hong kong's in column e. in fact the value of hong kong's good and services exports and that includes tourism spending is nearly double that of hong kong's g.d.p. and that makes hong kong very vulnerable to a drop in tourism numbers and we've seen a sharp drop in tourism in the 3 months to september tourism fell by 26 percent compared to the same period last year and if you add the u.s.

china trade war which is already weighing on hong kong's economy that makes matters even worse hong kong fell into recession in the 3rd quarter for the very 1st time since the global financial crisis in 2009 and just to rounded up hong kong is now forecast to have the sharpest growth slowdown of any advanced economy so that's it's not good some serious consequences lately all right monica jones from your business thank you very much. now where does the human body end and the digital self begin that's a question posed by artist louisa clement whose work is making its way onto the must have lists of international museums and galleries clement currently has a solo exhibition in the western german city of aachen where her photos videos and sculptures seem to come from a future that has already begun. aesthetic beguiling and confusing louisa clements work asks the question of where we are
