you want to tell me what's right and wear a headscarf or not. women are striving to reform their islam. traditional prejudices. start september 24th on t w. baby sets. today to take a glimpse into the world of insects. no other class of animal has so many species. but a german study has shown that they populations up plummeting. how do you actually count insects. the answer to that and other questions coming up. well come to you tomorrow today the science show on t.w.

. is still streaming night sky is an ever rarest sight for most people on the planet the night looks more like this. we shipman's can shield ourselves from too much artificial light. but plants and animals especially insects are defenseless against light pollution we meet someone who's trying to help them the 1st night protection officer in a german city. on this autumn evening sabrina frank goes out looking for sources of light pollution in her home city of folder in central germany she discovers a brightly illuminated plane tree on the university campus. this gets me really annoying people forget that trees have a biological rhythm to the one in the light still has all its lee. well the one

next to it is bad some call that. too much artificial light has convinced the tree it's still summer pronk is germany's 1st so-called night protection officer she goes around with a light meter measuring and recording the outdoor illumination 5 lux as the minimum intensity required here for squares and streets but there is no upper limit. left on i mean the light is supposed to be there to help us see powerful lights set in the ground have no meaningful function it's just a night for nothing. when you will come over them they don't. they use up electricity light up the sky all for nothing it's next. she'll contact the university about this later it's her job to meet with officials property developers and businesses to raise their awareness about light pollution and advise them on solutions nearly all life forms have a natural rhythm of day and night in the darkness the human body produces the

hormone melatonin which encourages sleep but too much light during the night disrupts the process which can disturb metabolism and regenerative processes and the body animals are affected in the same way. to the kind unlike us animals can't just close the shutters they have to live with the light. studies show for example that black birds in cities start singing earlier in the year migratory birds lose their orientation over bright urban areas the strong like confuses them the possible consequences are still being studied. pond in river life is also affected by life as scientists in britain have found normally water for you swim up to the surface at night to feed on the algae there that keeps the ecosystem intact if it's too bright the water

fleas don't come to feed that causes an imbalance. these 12 street lights have been placed in the middle of a field by scientists from the light and it's institute of freshwater recolor g. in berlin they want to know how would lighting at night affects insects. we see that the lights draw insects away from what they're doing and stop them searching for a mate. the insects gather near the light so you'd think it would be easier for them to find a mate there. but the scent that females put out to attract a male is reduced quality and an amount. every month between march and october the scientists catch insects in special traps . on the street lights draw up to 70 percent more insects that's compared to the numbers measured in the dark control field. but. also wanted to know how

different types of lighting affect the insects and usually they used sodium vapor lamps with a color temperature of 1800 kelvin then in 2015 they changed to a brighter and we delight with 3000 kelvin. all insects are very sensitive to ultraviolet light and so we assume that they will be more drawn to the cold white lights than the warmer white ones such as the sodium vapor lamps. but if there's no other light around the sodium vapor light also shines out very brightly also is this a signal a lot and so at the moment we're not seeing much difference between the 2 types of lighting of course. that would suggest that if there is only one light source roughly the same number of insects will be drawn to it no matter what

color it is so the scientists are now working to develop a lamp that the insects won't see gets involved in as the complete option a now is to have the lamp completely shielded said that the cover comes right down over the light source said that we're only lighting up the areas that we need down below the people the road and so on and off. that would not only attract fewer insects but also mean less light pollution for birds and humans back to full that night protection officers up enough frank has an appointment with someone from the university she explains why the lighting set in the ground is not good. we're not so keen on these buses and such and i'm green while the university has got the message and the campus was planned in 2011 it opened in 2013 light pollution wasn't such a high profile issue was and so will the university take action. is usually

good in the university we'll check the outdoor lighting on the entire campus next year and we'll look to see what's really necessary in terms of safety and what could perhaps be switched off those ground embedded lights are probably more for effect so i presume they'll be switched off. and all starts up to show to true. that it would be another success for the night protection officer she's already achieved a lot in florida right cold lines have been replaced with dimmer orange light and the trees by the cathedral are no longer be. in alumina did this thing have you so we now have these modules installed there flat on the light shines downwards to the right and left it's a nice warm color and the trees are no longer eliminated via the new models developed by the light meets institute are also due to be tested in folder but what would help even more is an upper limit for the illumination allowed on the roads and public spaces one more way of bringing back the night.

how can we tell how a species is doing many conspicuous beautiful species like butterflies have been collected by researchers for centuries. to fight them and preserve them for they to generations for example collections from the vicinity of the german city of lincoln's book have been maintained since 1840. scientists recently reexamine them while in the 840 s. the area had 117 different species by 2013 there were only 71. on 3 local species have vanished altogether. the problem. they all required certain plants and ecosystems for their survival. they were known

as specialists of now german landscapes are dominated by butterflies the issues that are less picky. such as the common brimstone. seas. and the meadow brown so the number of butterflies species that existed 2 centuries ago has definitely declined but what about the actual number of insects. that kind of study requires different methods from the. research is that the entomological society in crayford germany have been gathering data for 3 decades the inference is about the change in insect populations they used traps like this. the insects fly into the tent wall head up to the branches point and end up in a small chamber above a bottle containing the solution of ethanol the vapor daises the insects they fall into the liquid which preserves them. and.

insects get trapped this way day and night throughout the season the bottles are collected every 2 weeks sometimes thousands of different species of fish out of the alcohol. in. the lab the catch is sorted. and the experts get to work. every member of the entomological society has a special area of expertise thomas hearns fishes out all before there are more the $9000.00 fly species in germany alone the team joins forces to identify the species the society is insect collections go back more than a century they document the diversity of local insect species and how that's changed over the years. since the late 1980 s. members have been recording not just the various species but also the weight of each catch. before the sorting begins the content of

a bottle is weight. members follow a standardized procedure to make sure they get comparable results. i have to perform every step in exactly the same way each time we have set procedures for times materials everything otherwise we can compare the results from . the society now has some 3 decades worth of data on the total weight of the trapped insects. over time the research is observed what appeared to be an alarming patent. they'd been putting out traps nicolay fed for many years in 1909 this spatio did 1117 rounds of insects in 2039 did just 257 grams that's

a drop of 77 percent was this just an anomaly. they kept conducting measurements and finally reviewed the data they had collected between 19092016 from traps at 63 locations more than 1500 bottles of insects over 27 years. they found a lot of variation from year to year but overall the biomass trended downwards on average 5 percent less year which adds up to a huge decrease. in london sides if you look at the entire period from 1989 to 2016 that is 27 years then we're talking about a decline of about 76 percent. circles vixens of. the shocking findings by the fed insect watches made headlines around the world.

hey if you're looking for even more d.w. science content some that you can take with you anywhere you want to go you should really check out our podcast it's called science unscripted will keep you safe keep you healthy and we will give you something to talk about you can find us on spotify apple or. again our podcast is called science unscripted we hope you listen and until then please stay safe out there. in the 19th century machines driven by steam and power at the 1st industrial revolution. the early 20th century saw mass production aided by assembly lines and electrical power the 2nd industrial revolution then came the 3rd industrial revolution as technology went digital. now industry 4.0 is taking that to a new level robots people machines logistics and products can communicate and cooperate

directly thanks to artificial intelligence. let's meet some researchers who are making it happen. university in western germany is home to the. team and $29000.00 they took a 1st at the world competition the annual robot soccer world cup offers researchers a chance to collaborate on developing robot algorithms mohamed from indonesia was part of the team helping to develop artificial intelligence and robots the body is the robot and acts as its brain. my name is mohammad this is you bought it i mean industrial robot my research interest is robot perception how robots prosy. their environment and how they

respond to objects. this robot uses a time a flight camera which can capture objects into the n 3 d. using that sensory data it can identify and estimate the position of objects in its vicinity muhammad uses machine learning to train his robot to recognize objects such as bolts or material such as aluminum and factories. but 1st of all we need to collect data of the objects that we want the robots to learn then we train them using that data this is what happens during the training process the robot predicts the name and location of those objects. the object that is about. the robot is then instructed to autonomous name perceive and transport the object. that doesn't always work when the object as

a complex thing sometimes miscalculates its position. but if you thought is a good navigator when there's an obstacle in its path it comes up with an alternate route on its own what kinds of applications are there for robots like this developed by industrial robotics. industry robots can be used to assemble components they can also be used to move goods autonomous lee from one place to another. almost. in agriculture my research could be applied to detect crops so that fertilizer can be applied more efficiently and that it's a book. that they get into. it could help autonomous cars detect roads pedestrians traffic lights cyclists and other cars to reduce the risk of accidents that accident. hopes that research on

artificial intelligence will also progress in his home country i'd like to see more indonesian researchers working in the field of ai. we're now on the cusp of industry 4.0 which will have ai as one of its key components this could help accelerate ai research in many fields such as manufacturing and agriculture in indonesia. and points to transform manufacturing agriculture and other industries the world over and help them become more intelligent and efficient. because what is right why are they laughing. do you have a science question you'd like us to answer send it in if we answer it on the show you'll get a little surprise as a thank you. come on just because.

you can get in touch by going to our website d.w. dot com slash science or check us out on twitter. the alps are a popular holiday destination. but it's not all fun and games in the cliffs in the swiss cam town of golf bindon landslides are growing more and more frequent erosion and global warming are contributing factors melting ice and strong rains sent rivers of mud and rock star on the slopes how can people protect themselves. the. summit of the hopeful the mountain in the alps will soon collapse into the valley scientists at munich's technical university want to pinpoint exactly when it will happen and warn people in the vicinity as quickly as possible yeah far predicted her to start the mountain is moving quickly and we

might see rockslide soon we're planning to monitor this something that happens to see how good our forecasts are could we give a useful warning 3 days in advance and reports are good for have was from just. i'm more interested in the sky when speeds are high access is difficult and it's all a bit dangerous pursuit if you're looking. for. a large section of the southern summit is threatening to break off and tumble down more than 1000 meters. new cracks have formed some of them more than 100 meters long. most striking is a huge crevice so wide a truck could drive through it it's growing by 0.4 millimeters every day that might

not sound like much but it's very fast for a mountain. michaud cutter and his colleagues have already installed some senses meanwhile they've broken. today the weather is good so they've come to repair the instruments but. i say this is that i don't respond this is right now this is the most exciting crevice though it's quite small it emerged in 2014 i can see 15 meters down right here but if you look from the rock face it's more than 100 meters deep. we put these sensors in here which can measure the gap to $100.00 to the millimeter but a lightning strike charge of the sensors this one is broken too so we're going to try and fix actions prove me might even turn off and create. new senses need to be installed on the other side to. the senses measure the distances in the

crevasse record every change and send the data back by radio. the day crap this is next. to the words are you ready i'm going to throw the rope down out of. the crevice has been expanding so rapidly that the upper edge tipped backwards and bent the sensor rubs the chain have to climb down and reinstall them they reckon that if all the cracks and crevices were to break open at the same time up to 260000 cubic meters of rope could fall into the valley. that does this it means a guy that has huge a one cubic metre rock fall is enough to block a ravine or a road that's the usual size and so 260000 cubic meters would be huge there would be clouds of dust for hours would probably take quite a while and be insanely loud. the dust cloud would be visible across the horn and

probably cover everything it would be a major event. to get. a similar up fall took place in august 2017 on the pits in the swiss alps. around 3000000 cubic metres of rock broke off its northeast trying. to. bait hikers were killed in the box light a massive river rev martin granite swept more than 6 kilometers across the valley before striking the village of bondo. the village of him to horn back in austria at the foot of the hole for what it is not likely to be hit by a rock slide but mudslides afterwards could wreak havoc here too. the scientists

hope that their continuous monitoring will allow them to warn the residents and any hikers in the area in good time. these plastic rods contain distance senses that expand and contract to monitor the size of the crevice as it grows. that data is then transmitted to the valley. if the southern flank of the hopeful go collapses that would also affect the northern side in germany there are no villages here but there is a popular hiking trail. as a vendor for stock clips suddenly collapses the entire summers would be destabilised more rockslides would be the result i wonder why don't you don't zoom . in. crimea and made land and. also monitor the area with a drone. good let's focus on the summer ships are. just.

as good but good at the photos you steered as smoothly as you can. flurry and major takes photos with the drone camera which he uses to make a 3 d. graphic image that is accurate to within one or 2 said. this allows them to detect cracks the 2 centimeters in when. their research is also take the opportunity to test different monitoring techniques. back at the large crevice michelle cottle letter and his team are installing the sensors. that's easier said than done. and. there's no what's the problem up there struggling to attach the devices. it's hard work there's about 20 kilos of tension on this.

earth and them. also have to be very careful the cliff walls are crumbling you need to check carefully because you can easily lose your grip. on all of this is a bit. of. everything ok. but then it works. here i want to do this. by nightfall they've installed all the senses another step forward in warning nearby residents and hikers of an impending rock slide. was. that's all for this week's edition of tomorrow today the science show on d

w. we'll be back next time with more hot topics from the world of science and technology. until then stay healthy i'm curious. past. the. blue.

blue. blue. blue.

i'm not laughing at the chair well i just sometimes i am but most are nothing which at that point the german thinks deep into the german culture of looking at the stereotypes aquatics put in your thinking is the country that i now live to have a clue. p.s. needed st nicholas drama day out to eat it's all about. nothing i might show join me to meet the jetman sunday topic post kick off. this town atmosphere means listless clay shaw from the. looks of guns and the mentalist financing system. non-stop excitement of the final match to. sneak up. on t.w. . did beethoven invent

chalis to do did he do. it is it is about his 16 most of. us rotten luck. so many romance of stolen beethoven. and of course the subconscious always one thing is clear. they took this model popular. i see a sure shot i feel sure. but how would the world sound without the biggest composer of all time i constantly came to imagine a world class horn player centralist on a musical journey of discovery. with the hope retold in. this week calling to tell you.

this is that every news life from girl in the world block cyprus puts its foot down blocks that you from sanctioning voters over its crackdown on protesters a unanimous decision is needed for punitive measures to be imposed on president lukashenko on those behind the jailing alleged abuse of anti-government protesters and. the shady dealings the world's biggest banks at the center of illegal transactions war some 2 trillion dollars an investigation reveals financial

institutions facilitated corruption and money laundering on behalf of criminals. thank you so much for your company everyone european union foreign ministers have failed to agree a package of sanctions against belarus officials well that's because member states cyprus vetoed the move all the bloc had identified 40 officials it blames for violence against anti-government protesters and for elop toral fraud during a last month's contested presidential election while one of the main exiled belarus opposition leaders made an impassionate case before you a lawmaker is calling on them to act while the u.s. sanctions don't log means a final decision is now up to national leaders who will be a meeting at an e.u.

summit later this week. let's get you more with the barbara visa who is in brussels for you and it calmly. minsk i want to start with you barbara 1st of all cyprus so one member state has blocked sanctions against belarus why and why is it playing such an outsized role. the problem is european from policy is that sanctions have to be taken unanimously and cyprus is blocking this because it feels there is leverage here they want sanctions they want a parallel process for sanctions against turkey because of the gas and oil drilling in the eastern mediterranean that cyprus strongly opposes and so it's making that linkage and while less what cyprus is doing is blackmailing the e.u. they're telling the other countries ok we may be small we may be at the very southern end of the european union but we still have the power in this case to sort

of block everything you want if you don't give us what we feel we need you have been in this position before but at the moment this is particularly difficult because you foreign ministers have been talking about sanctions against us since the protests there started since the elections were held and that were then immediately called illegal and unfair by the european union so this is more than 6 weeks they're talking about this and they are not acting because they can't and you head diplomat. spaniard form of spanish foreign minister he said he had now made this his says personal crusade that he would do everything that the e.u. could still get there it will be discussed again at the summit this thursday and friday in brussels nick want to go to you in minsk i mean this is kind of a setback but i'm just wondering how significant is you in action when it comes to

those activists who are trying to make the case against the current leadership. definitely a lot of. position. that is. sold. putting the brakes on these sanctions i think this is more embarrassing for the e.u. and the. country . she had.

to really show support. the support. the people left on the ground and i think the. story i think the thing that really was attention was. she was giving the. people's minds. nikoli reporting there for a minute scan and our colleague barbara faisal in brussels talking to me a little earlier when i have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 10 people have died when a residential building collapse near mumbai in india many are thought to be still trapped under the rubble dozens of survivors have been pulled from the wreckage the

building was due to undergo work were pairs but many residents were before only unable to leave because they couldn't go anywhere else. or medians have been marking 29 years of their independence on this day in 1991 war to 94 percent of voters cast their ballot in favor of armenia's leaving the soviet union element the pandemic independence day celebrations were scaled down and partially held online. take a look at this hundreds of pilot whales have become stranded all along the west coast of the australian island of tasmania government scientists say it appears that dozens of the animals have already died marine conservation experts are at the scene and working to rescue the pod. next to global banks which are facing a potential scandal of huge proportions

a collection of documents shows that banks around the world have helped divert and conceal more than 2 trillion dollars worth of criminal funds well the banks and named in the documents include germany's deutsche bank and the comments bank as well as britain's h.s.b.c. and the u.s. bank j.p. morgan chase well the documents the leap from the usa government appear to show how banks helped to circumvent international sanctions including those against iran and syria where the banks say many of these transactions took place a long time ago and that they have since tightened their rules on money laundering . well needless to say this has sent shock waves through the financial sectors lisette try to find out more from sven gold he is a member of the greens in the european parliament and he is actively pushing for a parliamentary hearing to investigate this issue sir good to have you here with us

now earlier in the evening we spoke with a senior market analyst in london who said well you know basically nothing is going to change because we all expect some illicit dealings to take place in the banking sector so i'm wondering in terms of oversight because this is where you and your colleagues come in place did you drop the ball how were they able to get away with it for so long. well 1st so for there was already a lot of spinning in what you in ek did it is not normal that the journalists found that when the. databases analyzed coal wrapped criminal individuals can do their business more or less understood. so obviously it is good that they were suspicious transaction reports but it's a disaster that these were filed off and fall too late father later than foreseen

in the law and equally in the business didn't stop soon but often it was held on for years in order to make money with the criminals and in order to end crime it is needed to be much more diligent when it comes to criminal money right but this is i'm just going to repeat that question and phrase it in a different way i mean as you have pointed out and as these findings show this has been going on for years so i'm just wondering in terms of oversight what went wrong yeah well the main issue is that in most member states in europe but also globally are the controls in order to make law effective really lax so we have properly institutions with which are under resourced this holds true for most larger financial centers and equally the sanctions the

maximum sanctions outside of the us are far too low and and therefore we have not the right incentives in place so and even after the fund then should crisis basically hardly anyone who was responsible for criminal activity in the banks was jailed and outside of the u.s. fines were relatively low and these 2 things have to change more effective oversight and harsher sanctions on the other side that we got to do with their goal to who is a member of the greens in the european problem thank you sir for weighing in. and my colleague kate ferguson oh we'll have more on that story in business update in just a few minutes from now so make sure to stick around for that are going to turn our attention now to where corona. pandemic basically here's

a look at some of the developments in the global health emergency people in britain who break new cord a virus isolation rules face fines of up to 11000 euros and french daily cases in south korea have fallen below 100 for the 1st time in weeks and football fans in italy are being allowed to are being allowed back into stadiums up to 1000 spectators will be able to cheer on their teams in syria. and in germany's went to sleep to argue let's see who were heavy favorites on sunday in their season opener against minds and they didn't disappoint are 18 to watch after their 3rd place finish last season when they also reached the semifinals of the champions league. after just a few seasons like cigar firmly among the bundesliga elite could deal yet not ghost money lead them to a 1st championship their campaign got off to an ideal start against month's payment for spirit already put someone up from the spot when the use of pulse and strike

made it to nil on 17 minutes. into the 2nd test fanshawe philippe gave the visitors hope on 48 minutes to one. but that hope was swiftly doused by i'm a do i doubt i made it 31 just 3 minutes later. a satisfying 1st outing for leipsic but now goes mine will know that far sterner tests await his young pretenders. and i live across an open they're going to sleep campaign looking a bounce back from a bitter disappointment of last season that when they were when they dropped at the last to last in the champions league spot well that was bad news for hosts so will suffer but at least their fans were finally able to see their heroes in the flesh

again after a long months of pandemic restrictions. both of them in the cold spoke recently celebrated their 75th birthday and their funds were back in the ground to give them belated congratulations. but there was little else to show to vote in a target affair despite playing in the europa league on thursday as leverkusen rested up close to a click to fresher site bricks missed their best chance of the goal mistrust. they minutes into the 2nd half of the maybe had the ball in the live because it meant but the off site flood cut short through its joys the swiss internationals face neatly summed up the game despite the lack of goalmouth action devolved poor public was clearly grateful to be back. for the players though it was a lame start to the season but at least both sides could smile about it afterwards . now to the annual emmy awards the television world's a version of the oscars were handed out on sunday in

a virtual ceremony hosted by jimmy kimmel from los angeles well it's rio show succession to the gong for best drama series with its star jeremy strong bagging best actor it was also recognized for its writing but it was a nother h.b.o. show watchman that let the night winning in 11 categories its star regina king won for best actress in a limited series with her costar yeah the might seem a big 2nd while out winning best supporting actor on the show also won the award for outstanding writing of a limited series and the comedy awards shit's creek put in a powerhouse performance as stars won all the acting prizes and supporting actor winner dan levy also won for his writing and directing on the shelf or giving me the raise. and i to remember all reminded of the top story that we're tracking for you this hour european union foreign ministers have failed to agree on sanctions against top fellow russian officials or the e.u.

had identified 40 officials linked to violence against demonstrators. voting fraud in the wake of last month's a contested presidential election. you're watching every news live from berlin coming up next the business with kate ferguson on the rock n roll top long. is for me. just for. 3. hours. is for the.

beethoven is from oz. is for the beethoven 202250th anniversary here on. a massive data reveals the scale of dodgy cash flows that deutsche bank and other global financial institutions and the german lender coltart old wine in new bottles but could this mean more trouble ahead for a band still reeling from pasta misdemeanors. also coming up more acos tourism industry takes a hit of coronavirus 1st frictions keep the visitor is the old way. was an economic balancing cocked lithuania is taking

a decisive stance against fellow ruffians strongman alexander lukashenko but it also hoping not to dominate all important business ties. is business i'm kate ferguson thanks for joining me a huge data leak has revealed the extent of dodgy cash flows at some of the world's biggest financial institutions an investigation led by the international consortium of investigative journalists reveals 2 trillion dollars worth of suspicious cash flow has made its way through the financial system major banks including j.p. morgan h.s.b.c. and most notably germany's biggest lender deutsche bank are implicated as our next report shows is certainly no stranger to scandals. for years customers from russia and other former soviet states money into the western financial system via had to watch a bank the so-called mirror trade scheme on ravelled in 2015 the bank later peter settlement of more than $600000000.00 georgia. was found to have been engaging

in a variety of suspect trades involving as much as $10000000000.00. the bank didn't seem to be a victim they seem to be a participant in these mirrored trades back then don't promise to clean up its act now u.s. financial documents reveal that the bank itself estimated internally that this is vicious trades amounted to $16000000000.00 and that it could have still been involved in the dealings until 2017 that is long after the scandal had come to light according to the u.s. documents russian criminals and a money launderer for a terrorist group or among the customers involved they are all believed to have laundered money at the moscow branch of deutsche bank a spokesman points out that the bank completely withdrew its investment business in russia and 2016 and has become a different bank altogether. if you want to raise the ante money laundering

department from 600 to more than 1500 people we've strengthened the systems and this is an ongoing process. a consequence of the failed control mechanisms prior to 2015 also in the internal auditing department christiane's even was its head until the end of 2014 now he's dodging bank c.e.o. his former department head audited the russian deals but never notice this is spacious transactions but a later extra nl investigation revealed serious shortcomings. the current chief executive did not sign off on it back then he also did not read it at that point in 2014 as there was no reason and no cause for him to do so. the bank does not view its current c.e.o. as responsible. for more on this i'm joined by alistair wellmont in london he has 2 decades worth of experience in banking regulation out there welcome to the show you're the perfect person to speak to about this topic the deutsche bank it's just

one of several a company banks named in this they said leak other thing today to take you more and it's a pretty damning indictment of the global financial system isn't it. well you know 70 right that it's an it effects the entire financial services industry i think that there's a general acceptance in the whole industry and also by regulators that the position in 5 and 7010 years ago was totally unacceptable and since then there's been a huge amount of investment certainly by a lot of the banks that have been fined a significant amount sometimes in the billions suddenly by the u.s. regulators and there's obviously still a lot of work to do i think it's important with a league like this to put it into context because what the public is seeing now is the you know workings of the relationship between the banks and regulators which is usually shut shrouded in secrecy and there's

a good reason for that it gives the north or its sees the space to be able to investigate criminal wrongdoing and be able to do so without slipping off and notifying the participants in in what can be quite serious crimes that even stretch to things like terrorism so i think it's important to bear in mind that these reports that have been filed by the banks indicate suspicions by the bank and often in a period where they didn't have the kind of controls that a lot of banks have now so i think that all but one of the benefits that will come from this process is that regulators will obviously be examining their processes whether they investigate the reports that they get properly because it looks like this some reports where people were legitimately question why action hasn't been taken the banks will ask themselves you know have we actually invested or not because there's a lot of work going on and i think that it is a it's a it's

a good time for banks to re-examine that but it's important to bear in context that the context of this is that these are suspicions they were not reports filed when the banks actually generally speaking had concrete action in order to be able to take action themselves and how to pray faith you can think about the only concrete consequences of the result of that lake. yes i do i mean as i mentioned earlier i think the regulators will be looking at whether they have been as effective as they should be i think one of your guests earlier said that the regulators in the in the anti money laundering space have tended to be quite under resourced we've seen that in a number of financial scandals for example the one in in denmark than there were. back well as a regulator and i think the regulators are taking actions to address that so it's important that regulators do have the resources to be able to join the dots if you like because these reports that the banks final actually provide the information to

the regulator in order to be able to pass to the authorities that investigate criminal misconduct money laundering and the like and the banks often don't have all the information themselves to be able to join those dots so if they're filing reports and the all floridians are doing nothing about it it's often the banks are not in a situation where they have enough information to be able to close an account and if they do they can face action by that client who may sue them so it's really important that the regulators do actually act on the information that caused and in this shining a light on the process does anything that would be a good outcome we have to leave it there alice around and thank you so much fansites. that's going to morocco now where the coronavirus have caused the countries tourism industry to screech to a halt well from west actions have now been lifted operations there further waves of infection could pose a long term threat to a sector that's played a major role in tribal growth of the past few years. the moroccan city

affairs has more than a 1000000 inhabitants a popular tourist destination it is one of 4 royal cities in morocco and it's considered to be the spiritual center of the country. however in hotels such as this one emptiness is the new reality in this world. but the percentage of cause tumors has decreased significantly due to this pandemic. quarter not a trickle of travelers has resumed since september 10th foreign tourists and business travelers have been allowed to visit the north african country again. always on a 3rd we thank the ministry of foreign affairs which agreed to allow residents abroad or visitors from abroad to enter by pre-booking hotels this will double the
