israel says were born rules researched the truth is all prime ministers are rude racist you see you should be pretty good at least. thank you it was a successful night for rap music as crime artist storms he was named best british male solo artist his performance was accompanied by a gospel choir dancers a fireworks display and indoor rain. the rain. what has you now over to my colleague dan for so now we're back at the top of the hour.

dropping their weapons and taking out spray guns how do you get in soldiers join the battle to eradicate swarms of desert locusts that threaten east africa's food supply. britain wants to end cheap migrant labor with a new post briggs a visa system but good to all the heavy lifting. also on the show it's ironic

german environmentalists protesting against an electric car plant ferguson is there for. a laugh in order to stop telling the truth in order to make way for its new factory now a court will decide whether or not work can continue. its rule and that's the business the food supply of millions of people in east africa is at stake swarms of locusts the recently arrived in uganda continue to ravage through crops is a shortage of spray planes and funds to fight off the pests which is seeing officials take extraordinary measures the movie with the ugandan army is on the new but it's armed with portable past sprayers rather than rifles the enemy. of doesn't locusts the swarms originally came from kenya now they are wreaking havoc and ugandan province of dot this is quite big it's bigger than the other 2 that kim

already got it is quite big it's covered in give it to give you a for more reporting me. telling us that there's a boat it's could even be. 100. years so you split it because the beach. according to the un's world food program a swarm of this size can eat as much food as 35000 people in a day. the food security of up to 13000000 people is threatened by the plague and those with the least resources are most at risk such a small farmers or shepherds. when i saw these locusts yesterday i remembered some years back when the locusts came here before. they had everything green and it took just one month to spread them before they left. our cattle had no grass to feed on so we are happy that the government is

chasing them away no before the grass starts to grow again. it is a race against time the adult locusts are due to a more extreme and if efforts to destroy the swarm don't work the un has warned that there could be $500.00 times as many locusts by june uganda's resources are limited there are no spray planes protective clothing pesticides logistics it all costs money the un had asked governments for $76000000.00 to control the locust spread in east africa but had only received about $20000000.00 as a feb 10th. critics slammed britain's post briggs a plan to limit migration it's designed to cut cheap labor from abroad and boost the home grown workforce so no visas for low skilled workers instead of secretary pretty bad health says a point system would attract skilled labor to be based on qualifications salary and

the level of english british employed save could leave vegetables rotting in the fields and the elderly and disabled without care. from my colleague had a cleaver has been looking into this. other countries of have points systems but from what i've read they haven't really worked no it's not don't like that so well canada or australia are the 2 big points systems immigration uses so far that we've been looking at and they've both actually over the years changed them significantly they i mean at least they replaced what were originally blatantly racist rules so i mean is that they replaced them with rules that looked at people's language skills people's work skills people's age and education levels all of that sounds very good but they were supply driven rather than demand driven kind of kind of socialist

really. they didn't base it on what it was that businesses and employers wanted in their workers and the study found in 2013 in australia more than 13 percent of the migrants who got in on points based reasons were actually unemployed having been in that year so within a year 13 percent had no longer had jobs whereas those people who had gone in on invitations from employers for specific jobs only one percent of them had lost their jobs we also forget that it's a lot of these migrant families that come through bigger economy is like the us who set up fantastic whose kids set up these fantastic companies that become huge employers for their people who are very well known to go in and work their socks off and you know supply you know work where they sort of set up companies the support their families not only in the countries that they go to but also back home sending remittances home and then you know some of them get really lucky and do very well. politicians saying about this well we've got we've got

a couple of comments here one from pretty pitiful his the home minister in the u.k. and another from diane abbott who's the the labor party opposition spokeswoman and let's listen in. basically redefines our immigration policy so the brought in the best people with skills need to come to the u.k. and we will no longer have the routes for cheap low skilled labor that obviously has dominated immigration on our labor market for far too long in this country this base and the other one we should have yeah i think that the level of your salary the term move how valuable your worry is and what skills you have but we know that there are people in relatively low paid occupations like social care who are skilled and fog of war and new food to make keep these people out. of very interesting points being made there so who's

going to do the dirty work that's what i'd like to know because brits rely in many cases on far as to do the heavy lifting well yeah i mean we're talking literally heavy lifting in some cases of sick and disabled people who need caris and these carers are traditionally women and just terribly badly paid and often traditionally migrants i don't know where those people are going to be found we're also talking about. britain relying on foreigners to pick fruit to pick vegetables really for very low wages i don't know where those people are going to come from and employers unions also don't know where those people are going to come from the government documents i was looking at today talk of weaning the british economy off european union based low income low low wage sorry and low skilled workers saying that british companies have to up their game in terms of trainee people also in terms of automation so maybe they're going to buy

a whole load of robots. so i was going to be making money that maybe china and maybe china had a cleaver thank you very much for coming into work. or now to something you don't see every day environmentalists protesting against the construction of an electric car plant near berlin like the idea of clean and green mobility but it means filling a whole lot of treats. when elan musk came to germany last november to pick up the golden steering wheel award for the tesla model 3 he came armed with a bombshell for his audience we've decided to put it as the going to factory europe in the berlin area the presenter wasn't the only one gasping with shock. tell us this was big news not least for the citizens of grew in height at the sleepy brandenburg village where tesla plans to build its huge factory that could make up to 500000 to electric cars a year. many locals were delighted by the prospect of such

a large company and potentially big jobs coming to their doorstep others much less so initial enthusiasm turned to discord as protests about tesla's arrival grew louder locals complained that wildlife would be affected and that the plant would affect water conservation and supply in the area. but want to stop tesla literally in its tracks is the trees tesla is tearing a forest to build its factory but at the weekend the state court ruled it stop all work at the site until further notice acting on a complaint by the brandenburg green league a local environmental group. earlier today d w spoke to a local resident who urged officials to make sure everything is done correctly before more trees are cut down. my newborn child and d.d. ending did you my message to officials would be please wait for the permits and the finalize plans before you allow more treats to be felled for because we can't just

put them back out form a come on be done many german politicians business groups and most can self are heavily critical of this decision to say that this commercial pinewood plantation should not be a battleground the protesters disagree. reporter kate ferguson is at the front lines of this battle. kate tesla managed to get gigafactory up and running within a year in china but this is germany did someone forgets to tell us that. well dan if someone forgot to tell you on most that he certainly find as you mentioned i'm on the front lines of this protest between those who want to get this gigafactory up and running as soon as possible and those who want to do everything in their power to stop but as you mentioned we are here in germany and there is a process for everything so while tessa has got the green light for this project it hasn't yet got the construction permit for it and that's because before that

happens there's a chance for citizens to voice their objections to this project and the period by which they must voices objections isn't until march the 5th night despite the us as you can probably see behind me tesla has already started falling the trees and this is what the glue that leak and vironment will group says is against the law and now it's up to a court to decide whether or not tesla i could continue work ok let's talk about those trees in a moment of all let's talk about electric cars because it's something that's meant to be good for the planet for the greens a for this project could this damage germany's reputation as a place to do business. well in the short answer yes it could and that's why the frustration and fury has been so unanimous and the great party itself has come out and call that absurd that a commercial pilot forest plantation is then used as a battleground for a project that's going to see $500.00 sized electric vehicles run off the assembly

line each year potentially leading to a huge reduction in the diesel guzzling vehicles that are so pervasive on german roads and if you look at the background to this you can see just why people are so upset germany's economy is slowing down and it's facing increasing competition from from the likes of china and for years there's been criticism about the country having too much red tape for investors now finally an innovative company comes along and is progress as thor said at the very infancy i could focus on reporting for us there and i was doing business to provide.

i'm secure that while you were in that heart and in the end this army you're not allowed to stay here any more we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers we're alliance of. what's your story ready.
