i see a sure. but how would the world sound with the biggest composer of all time i can't you can begin to imagine a world class horn player center willis on a journey of discovery. without a total. of 10 or 16 on the double. double and just make it is that yes we're excited to.

last season by in munich cleaned up fresh from wrapping up the travel the record champs unsurprisingly begin as favorites to finish top once again. but not if their rivals have it their way. runners up dortmund with their wealth of young talent. champions league semifinalists leipsic. and passed up incoming benching blood. which new stars will the new season bring special circumstances notwithstanding the top 8 teams german sides have been busy bolstering their ranks we check out a few of the names both new and familiar who might find themselves in the spotlight soon. the bonus. the guy has long provided

a spectacular stage for players from all corners of the world to strut their brilliance and this season will be no different. reaction kicks off on september 8th so get all the latest on kick off before the ball gets rolling. unix or sleeping the sleep of the just out there trophy laden season as for the competition there will be more sleepless nights ahead i have this great cop makes a travel i thought that was my most spectacular experience and. i have his life seldom seen such a close knit group of players. inspiring and hungry for more. i fire and kick off the defense of their travel with

a new face on board superstar the roy sunday as swapped manchester city for munich . by muslims from that i and i are a huge club with huge ambitions and that suits me function of social for me sundays excited to be back in the league where he 1st made his name which i guess it's good when players like him return he's a child of the bundesliga. i. think everyone wants to see these players we complete rossana is good for the whole league one just beyond the design a good now even further bolster byron's unstoppable force but is that possible the club wasn't knocked off its stride by either a change of coach or a pandemic has to put up almost all the coronavirus pranks they were just beat unlike a lot of all the teams flying every game sense of home and abroad. it is good news

and we also did the best job of dealing with the whole situation and the titles are rewarded with insight that shows the team's strengths and their determination and they're hungry for that unites a strong title norton didn't see the underestimates transformation from midfield work force to on field leader was vital to byron's travel success cam in your short kimmage running the engine room the future looks bright as well. by a young and ambitious quality pairing for the heart of midfield i think also get on well together. that applies more or less to the team as a whole they're all by anybody. we haven't come all the way having your friends get on the same page and then run some tests if you have a lot of them coming to training time and it's just a great bond fancy flick has nurtured a spirit of togetherness in a squad packed with standout performers from back. fire and swept the board thanks

to their consistent collective endeavor and many of these players are still young. even if you cannot bring. commish we're talking about players who can turn out for another 8 years at the highest international level 15 could serve to buy an office but. it sounds like the start of a new buyer an era one he can now help shape in this and for me the target simple win as many titles as possible as the champions league runs of i've never won a good one already the best in the business on current form fire never given themselves a further upgrade with the right send a special skill set. and of equal to you already missed to have the best german players here and beyond and we've added another gem to the collection to the columbians and yet some teach me leroy so many were very well covered out even better now off the. as that's the flow over the speeds everything in one football

so he's got great close control will take a risk and has the situational awareness to create chances go to for the b.p. oil that comes with leroy we've taken another big step towards staying at the very top in europe that's what i mean it's the travel winners are already at the very top but they know they can't afford to ease off and get 3 rivals out to topple them from their perch. says of course last season's runners up 2nd place behind all conquering byron is pretty good going but for all that dortmund can't help but wonder when the vast pool of talent at their disposal well managed to take them all the way to the title and how public should they go with any statement of intent. and having a goal in formulating it's a 2 different things i do feel me offensive late last season about what to expect

from us and basically stick by that spirit here maybe just formulates it soon is going to doing a bit better this time in every competition i'm but the other person decides that's . the new season means a new chance to reach their goal this year is restructure reparations were split between home chair and switzerland. have to do better than never ready to. work hard in hopefully a good season. unimposing mountain landscape in the background and in the foreground even more fresh faced recruits on display than last season. dortmund have a flock of football born decant. 17. just turned 1720 just turned 20 and all 15. i'm starting to feel old now actually when you say so and when i see. they chose

them but. because. the future we will see a lot from them. from a coco remember the name you can't even play for the senior side until november when he turns 16. the others are good for a run out already although some are not much older. good building up a sign from birmingham city is rated one of the great midfield prospects for his age group and he's not slow to show why i'm still young and you know i want to try as best as i think to do that you have to specs of the game regardless of how good . she oh he'll be 18 in november but he already has a solid half season of this league experience under his belt he's a prime example of the youthful free spirit that permeates this story and squad. you know makes feel like the little kids again playing you seem or in the right.

you know it's really fun you know 171719 year olds and 20 year olds so it's really fun to. the leader of the pack is jaden century acts when he's already a star he was dortmund's top provider last season and their top scorer quite a line up but you do have to balance that with experience out there on the pitch players like match john and new arrival thomas menino. these was signings not only of good footballers who would also be on field leaders who could help guide the younger plans up to the level of one of them. amid all the hard work there's enough time for fun as well as many matches and plenty of laughter all helping cement the team will certainly need to sustain another assault on the top. as far as that goes where do they stand. definitely up with the

best in theory anyway in. proving. every game preferably also every training session is what ultimately separates the title winners from other teams and that's what we have to work because. you very talented and very much ready to claim some serious silverware. and are good to go but so are leipsic. a city in the eastern state of saxony is steeped in football history the german football association was founded here yet for years the locals had little to cheer out on the pitch that all quickly changed after 2009 when a new club was born. every body by surprise. rb leipzig have got the football world talking all the more so

since their recent march through to the last 4 of the champions league. and if they've shown they can cause the big names real problems with their performances in the champions league. a core feature of the leipsic approach is the regular development of top talents in tip top class starts. cano is the latest complete with a contract extension and 1st senior call up for france. preparations for the new season as the champions league heroes gear up for the next leg of the journey. p.r.b. project is an international one promising prospects are also trained up in austria brazil and the united states. tyler adams arrived at the start of 2019 from m.l.s. i do york red bull the young midfielder fired. going to the semifinals of the

champions league. just pure excitement pure joy a moment that you know in a sense you wish that you could celebrate with your family in person and have the competition of course but you know being able to pick up the phone and call them and see the excitement on their faces you know talking to them they don't even have their they can't even speak they lost their voices screaming at the television it's an exciting moment for me to leipzig approach also emphasizes continuity the object is to have a team. game inside yourself well since certainly fits the profile when the danish striker joined the club back in 2013 they were still in the 3rd division goalkeeper painter but archie arrives 2 years later from r.b.s. he's committed to the project and further progress. no one expected us to get so far in the champions league. this season obviously we want to emulate that level of success also in the bundesliga. success built up

razor sharp counter-attacking football that takes top drawer technique executed at top speed a job for players like new arrival benyamin hendricks on loan from monaco he's a graduate of the labor because an academy. of teams in europe and the champions league and. of course it wasn't easy was it to go there to come. i think especially in the bundesliga you can represent. the light see where coach elian not was mine will continue to pursue and refine it in his 2nd season at the helm he's already got them to the latter stages of the champions league in the bundesliga they're fixing on the very summit. i hope it happens at some point needed 3 years apiece at dortmund liverpool i think we'd all be happy with it sooner. claim probably not either if it takes 4 years it would just be great for us

to do it at some point that's the general a much. like 6 days as a football backwater feel long gone now they've celebrated multiple promotions here taken the bundesliga by storm and now the champions league as well that vision of actually claiming the meister shot looms ever larger but they're not the only ones with their eyes on the prize. munching block are back among the big boys staring memories of a golden era when the foals took the football world by storm history as an incentive almost an obligation and a new season to be approached in high spirits. it's not like messing about

just because we've reached the champions league but it's important to have fun as well and if you're working hard and focus he can do that come on the. cost of 4 to 200 kilometers northeast of mentioned. 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 of the prospect of the champions league to come off as key moments the atmosphere is very pleasant it's just wants him to stay focused and keep working on the things that need to be prioritized well heading into the season and then he said and good food and so on we're having fun as well. no complaints so far so steve night bakos is the architect of this black box research of his 1st year in the job he's floyd. did the team to

a new level. try. they spent 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 that 1st in the polls their nickname. was it some point in the early seventy's a local journalist said. they run around like young foals it's great to watch. in the 1970 s. when the bundesliga 5 times and the away for a cup twice that era would prove a hard act to follow. up in the world in the seventy's. it's always been in their d.n.a. and today's falls have made a welcome return to the adventurous free running style of old 1st it's just as it

should be. money. always happy to see my glad backplate attractive football as they did on the. champions league place. for the acquisition of austria international valentino that sato and his compatriot gives further creative options in the middle of the park to keep challenging at the top they have a clear plan of action. has been. pressing with even more intensity especially against the best teams but we've played really well but often only got a draw nothing else. just game an option getting better at closing things out. yeah that's. the poles are aiming for another history making season what else is in store for the new season.

new season new stars we've already covered the right side next whopping 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 he says your match and will add substantial experience to lucy in far as youthful squad here mark to replace kimi who is now at inter milan many offers a similar attacking threat as evidenced by 8 goals in his 84 league outings for p.s.g. i like to give some. pleasure is to get the you know the the training off for. the german and to score a goal. scoring goals is his specialty max crews are fresh on the books at lynn

after racking up $250.00 top flight outings for how the fribourg 4 game braman the 32 year old former germany international spent last season in turkey with fenerbahce now he's back in the bundesliga. i always love the stadium atmosphere of the clubs develop tremendously over the last 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 the experienced attacking midfielder rose to become an unfeeling leader he scored 17 league goals for the royal blues and some of them were real beauty paired with his implacable drive he looks a great signing for now. i think tenacity and a good mentality are among my main strengths as a player i'm looking forward to it we'll have plenty to celebrate together.

keeping the goals out. of those jobs and now he'll be doing it perhaps or berlin after more than a decade at fribourg the 28 year old shot stopper will be competing with rooney yosh dine for the number one slot and with 125 top flight ships under his belt he's already shown me has what it takes. me on section of it is something of abundance 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 europa league last time out . with this team. and hopefully we can improve the last season's finish. the summer movers are ready to impress their new clubs speaking which one of the 2 newly promoted clubs is coming up next.

are many of the felt back it up on the sleeve of the next season after an 11 year rollercoaster ride. to write the next chapter in this league 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 houses team. i live in years after dropping out of germany's top flight i mean you have the left failed are heading back as 2nd just league champions not many people saw this coming at the seasons. like does it really shows how we stick together on every single person on the team spirit simply outstanding. mental.

bill a failed return to the bone just league bringing with them a lot of history founded back in 1905 the north rhine-westphalia and club 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's already the closer we get to the start the more that's going to ramp up and here we're all desperate to get going in the bundesliga and images to see. and little wonder and his 9 years on the books skipper fabienne close as experienced all manner of drama here good and bad up close and personal. now at the age of 32 he's getting his own belated taste of life at the top table.

of the especially off to treading water table and even dropping down to the 3rd division you just notice how much the city and the whole region have really been waiting for this joined us to believe and always with that conviction that armenia bielefeld a club who can compete in the bundesliga again. haven't got here are many of the failed 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. warming and provoking transfer stories of recent years

. when you consider that you don't need much more motivation. for me that was enough. years playing in the goodness league and he's always school consistently he's one of the league's best ever strikers you need. to be sitting on the tried and trusted goal grabber swaps berlin but. he may be 36 now but he most definitely isn't lacking in motivation. i didn't come here and money to keep playing in the. and that's what makes this story so unusual piece of it is dispensing with this basic salary. working with my advice is also donate the money i have to be paid for insurance purposes.

he's just happy to still be active in the bundesliga and shop as younger players in particular can surely benefit from both his experience and just fine said this is. a remarkable story which shows as well how much of a doubt wants 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 familiar face to royal blues fans leroy sunday made his breakthrough at shell. so ladies and gentlemen the wait is almost over things are all a bit different in these extraordinary times this season included the late start lance there will be a crowded calendar more midweek matches and hardly any winter break. clubs will

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

because. i'm male and i'm to complete the 2nd season on the front. of the planet on the brink of disaster we did long interviews with experts about one question how to change things up. all of it is. is.

sometimes. senseless. what connects people is stronger than that separates them and. no one was so strong that it can not be torn down. we celebrated the 30th anniversary of his return for education october 3rd on d w. i am a flower. yes i'm beautiful and i've heard it before and it never grows old. i'm worshiped from my looks and my scent my looks but here's the thing. life starts with me. you

see i feed people. every fruit comes from me. everybody taito me every kernel of corn me every grain of rice me me me me i nailed but it's true. and sometimes i feed their souls. i am their words when they have none i say i love you without a sound. i'm sorry without a voice. i inspired the greatest of them painters poets pattern makers i've been amused to them all. but in my experience people underestimate the power of a pretty little flower. because their life does start with me. and it without me.

this is either over new years live from below the historic day for israel president trump plays host to latest rite of i'll be united arab emirates assign a sample to formalize ties with israel and a shake up of power structures in the middle east. program migrants from greece is devastated to come visit stafford to be house them in new shelters on the island of last pass as germany says it's preparing to take him to man in more often than previously thought. to come a critical let's say no family person master chair from hospital in his 1st public

comments since his voicing last month the russian opposition leader is pictured sitting up with his family and says he's bringing his. m for welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump is presiding over a ceremony to mark the normalization of relations between 2 gulf arab states and israel leaders of the united arab emirates have joined the president and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house i will sign a formal agreement as the w.'s turn your credit reports it marks a shift in the balance of power in the middle east. the 1st commercial flight from tel aviv to abu dhabi along the isolation period for israel and the region has ended until now it only has signed peace treaties with egypt and jordan in august

israel normalize ties with the united arab emirates the train followed a month later brokered by the e.u. and its cygnus alliances in the region. it creates a much stronger sunnis really alliance against iran against the shiite axis which is very important if we look at american elections in november when we have a democratic candidate that declares that they want to go back to the previous nuclear deal with iran. such an alliance of israeli and sunni nations in the middle east is extremely important what this doesn't solve this is verse conflict with the palestinians the u.n. you have. insisted that it was suspends its plans to annex part of the occupied west bank at least temporarily but the deal breaks with the public position of countries to refrain from normalizing relations with israel until it ends its occupation of a millions of palestinians in tel aviv the mood among israelis is mixed as people

prepare for a nationwide lockdown so your own it's excellent i opened a school for arabic i did it to promote peace and now i think it is usually more important for a mother to show the probably a rachet i think there is family it's only for political interest for bibi for trump and also the u.a.e. because of arms of good relations with the us they don't really care about us breaking a family bank or they got to tell you couldn't called up about it but i think it's more needed to deal with many problems we have here that have to do with a lockdown. and more political problems the country is very unstable and there's a lot to take care of before dealing with external issues or lifting shame or something of the agreements as seen as a huge achievement for prime minister binyamin netanyahu but as he faces a corruption trial and it's under fire for his poor handling of the pandemic there are also rare piece of good news. straight to the white house then rejoin t.w.

correspondent i think you have a son now welcome what's been happening. there there's just a few moments ago israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived with his wife and his delegation there are now inside the white house having a bilateral meeting with president donald trump once that meeting comes to an end 2 leaders will join ministers from the u.a.e. and bahrain in a signing ceremony the reason that we're all here today and what will happen is the documents that will be signed will look like this israel will sign one with the united arab emirates and they will also sign and other documents with bahrain there will be another document that all the parties involved will. states aforethought who want to be hauled or dubbed the abraham of course what's inside these documents we don't necessarily know as of right now is the white house official says that will be publicized after the signing ceremony but certainly critics pointing out

that there's more symbolism here substantive content until closer to the u.s. role in this stale making. it's. certainly been touting himself as a deal maker he's doing that before he became president and once he came into the white house he said that you know he's going to bring peace to the middle east and of course we know that along with his son in law and senior advisor there. but. these are all the palestinians when that fell through they started so looking for other possibilities and of something to mark as a victory especially heading into this election campaign so the doll john could tell himself as a deal maker that he told everyone that he was so certainly now that you know the 3rd and 4th arab states have recognized israel this is certainly a historic moment but we do have to be thinking about how this could look like moving ahead in the months and years to con and what's being signed here today is actually going to lead to changes in the region and so what do these 2 out of countries gain by signing this deal before israel. if

anything because the way that we have looked at the consensus with regard to arab nations has been that they have always said that they would not recognize israel's existence until the palestinian dispute was resolved until there was palestinian statehood certainly and that has not yet happened but the usa and the bar and bahrain are looking at israel right now i'm thinking we have to perhaps move ahead with relations with regard to what we think is important within the region region they look across the gulf and they see a common threat the israelis of iranians and them robbi and that threat is iran they see it as a threat within their region and that they need to build a stronger alliance for the israelis they certainly want to be less isolated in the region and for the u.a.e. and the bahraini they look at israel and see a high tech economy that they want to get involved in but of course this leaves the palestinians on the outside looking in they have called these deals a betrayal there are certainly hard feelings they're on and that's the situation

with regard to that i've become have a sound the white house thank you. and apologies for some of the sound and vision problems for ford from washington that's going to now i d w correspondent tanya crammer standing by well i'm talking i'm still being viewed by the palestinians. why i think it's certainly not a day for celebration over here but i mean the reactions from palestinians i talked to in the past couple weeks are very makes no somewhere initially very angry but there's also a lot of disappointment there's a sense of abandonment at least also in public polls reflected there that the majority thinks that the palestinian cause has been abandoned by those gulf states but they also have pointed out that this might reflect more the leadership of these countries maybe not necessarily public opinion in these countries at the same time there's also disappointment in their own leadership in ramallah in the divided

leadership you have to say in ramallah and in gaza that they have the let it come to this point that it adds to a long list of problems with the u.s. administration and that there is no solution in sight no way out of it but again there is a deeper sense that there is a shift in the region specially since could count on arab countries that there would not normalized. relations with israel until they end their military occupation over palestinians and there is of course also concern that other countries might follow even more so that the arab league that came together last week couldn't come together on a resolution on this issue that was brought in by the palestinians time here in jerusalem thank you. now here in germany brother confirmed plans to take you more than 1500 migrants from the greek islands vice

chancellor all i've shown said the government would accept 51553 people on top of 150 unaccompanied children. don't but he agreed to take this move follows a fire that destroyed the morea migrant camp on the island of last boss last week leaving about a 12000 displaced people living mostly out in the open ring police say they have now detained 5 becomes former residents in connection with the blaze let's get more from d.w. political correspondent emmanuel shots welcome to my new wealth which looks like good news and talks in berlin about this have been going on since last week. exactly and a decision was taken today by to governing coalition of conservatives and social democrats the discussions took long as opinions within the coalition were divided on the question as to how many people gemini could take in for example. to social

democrats co-leaders sas terrorist and i had been calling on germany to take in much more than what has been agreed upon she wanted several passages to be taken and as i have no stance you save germany with taking 1553 is island seekers has an asylum applications have already been accepted mostly families with children will be prioritized and will be taken in by different region states here in germany why is the migration question such a polarizing one in germany. well you have to remember that 5 years ago there was that defining moment when i'm going to merica sade weekend duties meaning that germany would actually handled a strong effects of migrant that said i make a manger in december of 2015 and to many indeed to cane a far more migrants than any other e.u. countries but while doing so you guys and german society we so the rise of the far right we saw the rise of racist attacks even if 60 percent off germans do you favor

every day arrival of refugees in their country. as political correspondent thank you. russian opposition politician i like saying the valley has reached out on social media for the 1st time since she was poisoned last month and she had a picture from the brother in hospital where he's being treated it shows him sitting up in bed surrounded by his family and says he can now breathe on his own his spokeswoman says he plans to return to russia after he recovers. doubly reported jared reed is outside about in charité hospital where mr valley is being treated welcome jarrad what else did he say in the sense of compost well phil he posted hi it's novell on the i miss you guys then he tweeted a love eyes emergency he goes on to say i can still hardly do anything at all but yesterday i was able to breathe by myself for the whole day totally by myself without any help he's known for being somewhat self deprecating and psychotic he

goes on to say breathing is a surprising and underrated process i can only recommend it and if i do a quick refresh of that post in just a few hours it's been like that around a 1000000 times with some 65000 comments so clearly a lot of good will out there for me and so well where is the investigation into his poisoning. well what we do know is that a lab test from the german forces lab there confirm that he was poisoned with novacek and then labs in sweden and france verified this basically what we do know is that there is an investigation ongoing from the chemical weapons body that navigates that looks off to chemical weapons because this would be

a breach of the treaty against what we know about novacek is that it was developed in the soviet era and that's why a lot of suspicion is falling on russia that it might not be more than what it says it does a lot of pressure is being put on the kremlin to divulge possible answers particularly from germany but russia says at the moment that it had nothing to do with the poisoning of i'd like saying of all me now that he appears to be on the mend watch should we expect to happen next well in a value spokeswoman said today that valerie wants to go back to russia and she said she was puzzled as to why people might think otherwise it could be a fair way off before that might happen because although in our alexina valmy is appears to be recovering doctors here at the shop it's a don't know yet the long term effects of the poisoning that he has undergone so it

will be a little while yes every so often we get statements from the hospital but as to when he might be released or even go back to russia as his spokeswoman said he wants to do we'll really have to wait and see about that. reporter jerrod read thank you. german politicians have decided that fans can return to stadiums for this weekend's 1st much day of the bones as they go season monday german cup games featured limited numbers of fans in stadiums across the country now for a 6 week trial period as they get clubs will be allowed to use up to 20 percent of the stadiums full capacity strict coronavirus measures will be in place but fans are not to be tested. and he's a reminder top story at this hour the german government has agreed to take in the about 1500 migrants from the greek islands this after more than 12000 people were left without shelter following last week's fire that tore through the overcrowded
