just because we've reached the champions league but it's important to have fun as well and if you're working hard let's focus he can do that. cost a fortune 200 kilometers northeast of mentioned blood by the coronavirus situation means pre-season preparations are closer to home this year at this stage funding games aren't generally high on the agenda but the unanticipated 4th place finish last time out has had a knock on psychological effect the prospect of the champions league chica was off its key moment the atmosphere is very pleasant just wants him to stay focused and keep working on the things that need to be prioritized well heading into the season and ending i wouldn't even. fit in the zone we're having fun as well. no complaints so far as you see tonight marco's is the architect of this clock but the surgeons dispersed year in the job he's foisted the team to a new level. that is

a. defined goal. they spend more than 2 months at the top of the table serving up their own brand of football fast direct straight to the point both refreshing and reminiscent of the style of that 1st hour in the polls their nickname. was at some point in the early seventy's a local journalist said to a coach china's vice they run around like young foals it's great to watch. in the 1970 s. gladbach won the bundesliga 5 times and be away for a cup twice that arrow would prove a hard act to follow. best club in the world in the seventy's playing here and i have seen that good credit to be at such a great club. it's always been in their d.n.a. and today's falls have made a welcome rich. turned to the adventurous free running style of old 1st it's just

as it should be. funny yes i'm always happy to see my glad back plate attractive football as they did on the mark over the last season's. champions league place. the acquisition of austria international valentino that sato and his compatriot gets further creative options in the middle of the park to keep challenging at the top they have a clear plan of action. pressing with even more intensity especially against the best teams but we've played really well but often only got a draw. just. getting better at closing things out. but . the falls are aiming for another history making season what else is in store for the new season.

mid-season new stars we've already covered the rice on a swap in manchester for munich but other clubs have also been busy bolstering their ranks here's a look at some of the most i catch ing moves. a new right back for dortmund thomas mann yeah the belgium international has arrived from champions league final list but essentially max and will add substantial experience to list you know far as youthful squad here mark to replace kimi who is now at inter milan many offers a similar attacking threat as evidenced by goals in his 84 league outings for p.s.g. i'd like to give some assistance. to get the you know the feeling of. the german and to score a good. scoring goals is his specialty max crews are fresh on the books that would

be on berlin after racking up $250.00 top flight outings for how the crowd board votes for again braman the 32 year old former germany international spent last season in turkey with fenerbahce now he's back in the bundesliga which had this dimension i always loved the stadium atmosphere for the club's develops tremendously over the past few years since hopefully i can be part of the process going forward. daniel college already has a similar aim with his new club sport over 3 and a half years at shell got the experienced attacking midfielder rose to become an on field leader he scored 17 league goals for the royal blues and some of them were real beauties paired with his implacable drive he looks a great signing for an optional. thing and i think tenacity and a good mentality are among my main strengths as a player i'm looking forward so it's really we'll have plenty to celebrate together

for you will hopefully see franco. keeping the goals out is alexander all those jobs and now he'll be doing it for hector berlin after more than a decade at fribourg the 28 year old shot stopper will be competing with rooney yosh dying for the number one slot and with 125 top flight ships under his belt he's already shown he has what it takes. me on section of it is something of a bun just league old hand as well now after turning out $116.00 times in his 5 years at frankfurt now the 25 year old serbian attacking midfielder is taking up a new challenge with hoffenheim they qualified for the lead last time out has been his issue. with this team. and hopefully we can improve further on last season's finish. the summer movers are ready to impress at their new clubs speaking of which one of the 2 newly promoted clubs is coming. next.

hour many of the fellows will be back either by misleading season after an 11 year roller coaster ride. to write the next chapter in their book misleading history and old time german football institution about to embark on a new adventure. june 18th 2020 was the day it was official a one nil win against sealed the deal house his team. live in years after dropping out of germany's top flight i mean you have the left failed are heading back as 2nd fundus league champions not many people saw this coming out this season stuff. like those it really shows how we stick together on every single person on the team spirit simply outstanding.

failed return to the bone just league bringing with them a lot of history founded back in 1905 the north rhine-westphalia have spent 17 seasons in germany's national top flight so far one high point along the way came in february 2005 when they beat record champions by year in 31 the city of bielefeld also has a longstanding reputation for the fervor of its fans now day and the players alike are eager to get started. it is we're really looking forward to it already the closer we get to the start the more that's going to. and he's desperate to get going in the bundesliga. and little wonder in his 9 years on the books skipper flo says experience all manner of drama here good and bad up close and personal. now at the age of 30. to he's getting his own

belated taste of life at the top table. especially after treading water mid table and even dropping down to the 3rd division you just notice how much the city and the whole region has really been waiting for this joined us. and always with that conviction that our media bielefeld our club who can compete in the bundesliga again. having got here armenia bielefeld are determined to stay and we look forward to keeping tabs on them throughout the season. these are trying times for shock over the latter half of last season but suffered an unexpected collapse in form now they have to respond and call themselves back on the rails creative thinking is called for and then sometimes things also just happen like one of the most heartwarming and thought provoking transfer stories of

recent years. but. when you consider that you don't need much more motivation. cool club great for me that was enough. as it's well vs playing in the business league and he's always schooled consistently he's one of the league's best ever strikers you need. a database of the tried and trusted goal grabber swapped berlin for girls in care he may be 36 now but he most definitely isn't lacking in motivation. i didn't come here and so then money to keep playing in the bundesliga. and that's what makes this story so unusual piece of it is just spent seeing with his basic salary at chelsea. working with my advice is also donate the money i have to be paid for insurance. he's just happy to still be active in

the league and shop as younger players in particular can surely benefit from both his experience and his mindset. is a remarkable story which shows his well how much video to play for. in the meantime the club's pressing priority is preparing for the opening match day . and a trip to munich for the campaign curtain raiser to face the best team in europe and the familiar face to royal blues fans sunday will made his breakthrough shout. so ladies and gentlemen the wait is almost over things are all a bit different in these extraordinary times this season including the late start means there will be a crowded calendar more midweek matches and hardly any winter break. clubs will

continue allowing up to 5 substitutions per match. where their way and in what numbers fans can return to stadiums will all be up to the relevant local authorities at least lives franker down younger land will be able to have a limited number of fans at their 1st league games with health and safety considerations paramount we hope everyone stays healthy and look forward to another one just league a season thanks for watching stay tuned to kickoff for all the action. clearing

plato's in september 16th on t.w. . business news live from berlin the us west coast in crisis as fires raged across 3 straits officials try to convince president trump that climate change is a major contributing factor but is a listening also on the program. british m.p.'s move ahead with a controversial new bill that grants the government. power tools override parts of

its withdrawal agreement with the e.u. despite fears that it breaks international law. and is there life on venus scientists have found what might be the 1st clue. american tilton welcome to the program as u.s. president donald trump has taken a break from the campaign trail to meet with officials in california battling fears wildfires across the state trump downplayed arguments that climate change is fueling the record blazes also affecting oregon and washington instead he claimed that poor forest management is to blame trump's critics accuse the president of ignoring a growing crisis. these are some of his scenes providing the backdrop to the president's visit to california. raging wildfires that have burned millions of

acres wiped out whole communities and left dozens dead. scientists say places like these are being made worse by climate change. but donald trump spoke of other concerns after landing in california to meet with top officials. and we have to do a lot about forest management obviously forest management in california is very important. california governor gavin newsome said those concerns were justified but he and other officials went on to press tromped on climate change just as they are force management science. and observed the evidence is self evident that climate change is real and that is exacerbating this if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management we're not going to succeed to get it protecting californians it will start getting

cooler but i was just you just watch i wish science and anybody but. i don't think science knows actually. and earlier that day harsh words from trump's democratic presidential rival joe biden if you give a climbing arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised that we have more america blankies if you have a climate denier 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised when more americans underwater. but trump has his supporters even in deeply democratic california i was displaced by the taubes fire i woke up with my city in flames and the democrats have not done their due diligence policy wise and so if there is a component of global warming it is a very very small component because the democrats are failing california meanwhile

firefighters on the front lines face challenging conditions with shifting winds and drier weather sparking several new blazes. as of his on the story for us in california he told us more about the president's brief trip to the state capital sacramento yeah this was an unexpected visit now he did not plan to come to california this leg of his campaign but he did so anyway and the reason is because the california wildfires were making headlines around the world now like i said he didn't plan to come here because california is very heavily democratic state he doesn't expect to win the state anyway but i think he realized that that now was the time to come here and show that he has the situation under control but a bit of a mixed message there because he seemed to be making light of the connection with climate change which climate scientists say is the reason why these fires and this catastrophe here in the state is unprecedented trump has faced blistering criticism

for his handling of the wildfires what are people there saying about his visit today. well you know the trump supporters came out to see air force one land so there was several 100 people at the airport to greet him warmly but i don't know if that reflects the state again california is a heavily democratic state a lot of people in california and sacramento in particular are still a bit angry about his comments this year and last year blaming california for mismanaging its forest and saying that that's the reason why they're having forest fires which many scientists disagree with but there were also people who showed up at the airport to protest some people from the black lives matter movement but also just to trump's critics. all right and briefly if you could there have been some reports of cars crashing into protesters what do you know about that.

that's right protesters were blocking the roads and instead of waiting for them several cars at least 2 cars drove into crowds to make their way through and one police car even tossed a protester off the roof the that was deja vu correspondent in sacramento california now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. people along the u.s. gulf coast are bracing for the arrival of hurricane sally forecasters say it could make landfall in louisiana and mississippi as a category 2 storm it's expected to bring heavy rain and flooding to areas including new orleans sally is the 2nd hurricane to threaten the region in less than a month. doctors in berlin treating russian opposition figure alexina of all these say his condition has improved and that he's now able to get out of bed for short periods the german government says labs in sweden and france have now confirmed german findings that not only was poisoned with

a soviet era nerve agent called nova chuck. and some other bees is holding its 1st ever hip hop auction featuring around 120 artifacts from the 1970 s. until the 1990 s. among the items on the block the crown worn by new york rapper big smalls in a photo shoot just days before he was shot dead in a few that also took the life of tupac shakur. first 6 to the u.k. now we're british lawmakers have given their initial approval to a controversial new brakes a bill despite concerns that it breaches international law. m.p.'s in the house of commons back to the u.k. internal market bill by 340 votes to 263 clearing the way for further debate over the next 2 weeks the bill gives the government power to override parts of the brics withdrawal deal agreed with the european union just last year. porter jill dougherty joins us now and he's been following that vote in the u.k. parliament so joel walk us through this year what exactly is the significance of

today's vote but with this bill boris johnson and his conservative government have given the power to override the terms of that withdrawal agreement that they reached with the european union and if they go ahead and use those powers they will be breaching an international treaty and therefore breaching international law bars . ansen says he doesn't actually want to intend to use these powers but he says they're necessary in case they go she ations with the european breakdown and that could leave northern ireland operating under a different trading agreement and arrangement than the rest of the united kingdom effectively cutting northern ireland off from the rest of the country in terms of trade we can hear now what boris johnson had to say in the house of commons it's a protection it's a safety net it's an in an insurance policy and it is a very sensible measure so we kind of have a situation where the very bond risk of our country could be dictated by

a foreign power international or. british prime minister government no part of it could ever accept such a new vision but what's stunning irony is that this british prime minister this government in this parliament did accept the exact those exact terms when signed this withdrawal agreement back in january boris johnson was in charge of the negotiations of this deal he won an election on the back of this deal he even prevented the house of commons from scrutinizing this bill and now he says it's a bad deal we can hear now from the opposition labor spokesman ed miliband. it's time to fess up even he wasn't straight with the country about the deal in the 1st place or he didn't understand it because madam that the speaker a competent government would never have entered into a binding agreement with provisions that could not live with and if the government somehow missed the point but would. it would have done what any competent business

would do after it realized they can't live with the terms of the contract it would negotiate a way out in good faith and that's why if you speak up this is also unnecessary. so why are we seeing this about face in this deal now or you could say that word phase 2 of bragg's at phase one was the referendum now phase 2 is the interim period in which the status quo is kind of maintained up until the end of this see a december 31st that's when stage 3 should kick in the permanent long lasting relationship between the u.k. and paris brigs that europe so with this phase 2 and phase 3 however it's a bit tricky to get between those 2 and that involves negotiations which is where we're at at the moment those negotiations are stuck we've been hearing increasingly acrimonious comments from both sides saying that we're lacking progress and so this can be seen as a negotiation tactic the u.k. is trying to tell the e.u. that it is prepared to rewrite trade agreements ok let's let's focus on the prime

minister here for just a 2nd is he been facing any type of opposition because of his turnaround on this deal where he faced some opposition from his own m.p.'s around 8 percent of them decided not to vote with this a bill some form of conservative prime minister spoke out against it including to reason why the former pm who stood up in the house of commons a few days ago and said how can the u.k. expect any other global partners to take us seriously when we rip up trade agreements and that's going to be increasingly important because the u.k. needs more trading partners in opposed threads of the landscape so what happens next well this bill still has to go through a few more parliamentary phases and then it has to go to the house of lords so we haven't heard the end of it and we're still yet waiting to hear from an official response from the european union as to this latest escalation all right joel we have to leave it there but thanks as ever for keeping us up to date. german chancellor angela merkel says european union trade with china must be conducted on a level playing field now calling the other evil leaders met with china's president xi jinping for wide ranging talks on trade climate change and of course the

coronavirus pandemic the original plan was for a major face to face summit to seal a historic e.u. china investment agreement but progress on the on that investment has stalled and then came the coronavirus pandemic and china's hard line stance in hong kong. parmesan cheese rounds from china chinese companies are known for copying products from elsewhere in the world that was one item on the agenda at the video summit between e.u. leaders and chinese president xi jinping china pledged to ensure that regional specialties like wine from the mozilla and beer from munich are respected a small success in some us we own the rights to which and. more work needs to be done we made it clear where we still don't think he used demanding greater access to the chinese market for european companies to reflect the access that chinese firms have in europe the e.u.

also wants beijing to commit to more environmentally friendly policies and to swear off new coal fired power plants china's activities in hong kong were a point of intense dispute the e.u. says beijing must respect human rights but chancellor angela merkel could not claim success on that front demonstrates the human rights dialogue will continue president she offered that so in this respect there's common ground for a further joint approach but that does not mean that there is agreement on these questions. and get all the news is truly out of this world astronomers have encountered potential signs of life on venus they've detected fossicking gas in the cloud surrounding one of our nearest planetary neighbors it could have originated from a number of sources of course including microbial life in the planet's clouds. is there life in the clouds around venus. it's too early to tell but an international

research team has discovered a clue there are rare gas faustina on earth it's produced by microbes who live in low oxygen environments. telescopes in chile and hawaii spotted the gas by its chemical signature. phosphate molecules in venus as clouds absorb short wave radio waves that exist in the lower atmosphere but can the gas really come from microorganisms. don't even the researchers explicitly say that they are not in the position to state that they've discovered life in venus is atmosphere. could result from national processes like lightning volcanic activities or for other reasons of any case. if there really are microorganisms in venus as clouds they would be hearty beings indeed those clouds are full of. which is found full to life.

whether there is truly life in those clouds must be confirmed by further observation a russian space probe is expected to reach venus as surface in the coming decade. you're watching news live from berlin they'll be more news at the top of the hour until then don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's dot com america thanks for tuning in. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. corona update. 19 special next on d w. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in
