well you know. with different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w made for minds. in germany the last few summers have been among the hardest and dr stan living memory marched to the delight of vintners like the callow this is your pleasure to be able to harvest grapes like these that tasted so great it's just fantastic. but not everyone is profiting in many places the lack of rain has caused huge problems says the guy's 9 university researchers are studying the effects of climate change on vittie culture i know the one thing is clear there's no going back summers like the

12018 are becoming more frequent they're here to stay. what does that mean for the future of wine growing well europe's top wind soon be made by norwegian vintners like anna angra. you would never have anyone i recommend anyone to climb to restrain right in our way to get the right grapes and. incredible. this is that this is the red wine you can loaded into the car. and find gold keller a winery in a renishaw has her. packing bottles of the $28.00 team advantage to take to the annual g.d.p. event not an association auction that's a quick look up stairs and change and then we can go. it's

a very important event for the winery but you has to handle it on her own husband is needed in the veni arts starting tomorrow rain is forecast. once a year the region's top frankness gather in by snuff each winery brings along a few bottles of their latest vintage they'll be auctioned off after the wine tasting. you know again you know will be an interim worked out they're going to have. a big crowd has gathered this is the 1st time the wine grown in the sweltering summer of 2018 is being served nearly a kalar knows it was a good here. then the honorary president of the vintners the association opens the day using a gavel that's been specially flown in from sotheby's auction house in london and. wine merchants journalists and wine enthusiastic from around the world have come in

person or are bidding over the internet soon we'll see what the 28 team vintages was now it's 5 good callista can i take her place at the head table ladies or gentlemen like that ladies and gentlemen we're gradually coming to our highlights i don't try to 61 and a half liter bottles with a starting bid of true 100 euro or here links or not and coffee to me at the winery hopes to fetch at least $200.00 euros per bottle but the bit is far outnumber the number of bottles on offer. right oh so 2000 euros. give over to better and this. event finds that iran's hard work is rewarded and that's good. soon and i started 700 working hours just for the 28 tell me how this to. them. fear just $4000.00 euros for the rest

of the year in the $1000.00 euros for the rest. or 1550 euros growing one side going twice it sold for 4550 euros and also it's a new. more than 4 and a half 1000 euros for a magnum the bristling cabinet from hass a winery on the mozart it's 6 30 am and still quite cold out house painter caroline tells his crew where to gather grapes they want to be finished by noon but really did care for we have we have more rock in this weekend yet and it's 26 meters so so really careful it's not ok it's not only fun so we really have to really go after. the cameras around an international following which is why young people come from all over the world to learn how to make wine here. today 12

helpers from 7 different countries are here to harvest grapes according to the bouncers stringent criteria. they inspect the grapes one by one everything is done by hand. clowes pater keller is pleased that the year's hard work has paid off once again he's been able to harvest his crop early he lets me out with mushrooms in the last few years i have to say that the autumn weather is now and they're like late summer weather in that endeavor a good nights are cruel and that helps the recycling rates right and perpetration really think that all but they're not perfect so that wasn't always the case. but the video card is located on a state slope the racing vines here are more than 100 years old and even survived the great phil ochs are a play in the 19th century the colors harvest gold red grapes by hand bruised

grapes are sorted out right almost bought by market it's physically strenuous work as the kind here is more than 60 degrees at noon call it quits otherwise it'll be too hot for the grapes which need to arrive at the winery in good shape. if the grapes get too warm they start to ferment too soon and the vintner wants to control that process. or the bad. suzanna to man has a biologist who conducts research at the renowned hot guys and i'm university which specializes in vittie culture and halter culture since 2014 teams here have been investigating the effects of rising levels of c o 2 on wine growing. at the university is free and carbon dioxide enrichment facilities known as face great finds are constantly sprayed with

c o 2 researchers here aim to see how the plants change there by simulating what the finance of tomorrow will look like. at the height of summer suzanna to man visits the facility almost every day she checks on the rightness of the. rapes and measures changes to the vines and the soil. so secret also is on in the most likely usa landing pad but it really is the vineyard of the future here given ripley's the concentration of c o 230 by a 2030 well they found out in the 1st year or so from now is that we also have a high transpiration say that means the grave i mean i can see you in the big water . of course and yes like 2018 or even now in this park a hot summer that's not so beneficial for the thought of this for they were. too many hot dry sunny days cause grapes reselling in particular to shrivel on the vine

the grapes actually get sunburned leading to huge crop losses. so senator examines the healthy grapes in the lap she also turns their quality and stage of maturity and predicts when they'll be ready to harvest. findings indicate while the grapes of the future should be like. we have 81 degrees x. the suspense continues. it isn't we harvest according to the degree of health of the cabin they could do with a bit more excellent washouts he would have this climate research or cloudier comma is a professor at geisenheimer's university work focuses on the direct effects of climate change on plants. she relies on the lab results of her colleagues. for the 1st time they've discovered anomalous mainly in the amount of yeast a similar bill nitrogen in the great must as i am it's here to 5 here are 2

different points in time you can see there are significant differences then they quite extreme the highest values around 80 the lowest is under 40 says that's extremely low isn't it. s m i feel like here we might actually have a difference that we've long suspected. that's next year brings with it its own kind of challenge and that adding to this makes will be no small feat so can leave the plant grapes somewhere we want to be able to harvest them for at least 30 years yet we know that in 30 years' time the climate will be completely different than it is now in the scheme of bundles of. joy and. i'm here and if you told people here at last your highness back for instance read these lane reign supreme and has done for centuries that they should all of a sudden ditch it and switch to completely different great variety is that would be an incredible loss of centuries of cultural heritage as well as their own admission

for most all i know scams guns language. and reducing are in a very south of spain the effects of climate change are already being found. in the summer it often doesn't rain for months there's less precipitation in the winter too so the soil has dried up. crops only flourish if they're well irrigated just metres away the soil is dry and cracked. climate research is called. process to certification and yet in the hands of these arid landscape my 3 act as sort of fertile ground that isn't irrigated at all. located just outside the village of rhonda it was planted by wind grow our frederik shots.

now he's checking whether it's time to stop the harvest originally from suede the shots came here over 3 decades ago to start a new life he brought with him a better starting capital from his father and a few land bagger rootstocks from his homeland germany. friedrich chancers actually a trained gardener but his knowledge comes in handy here because keeping their soil healthy is essential when it comes to growing grapes in sunny southern spain a proponent of biodynamic agriculture he uses no pesticides or other harmful chemicals instead he grows harps and other green ground cover to hold the loose and a nuisance soil together. so here you have the really nice and healthy smell of naturalists only you could eat it and i actually did that when we 1st came and wanted to settle here borden in the moon the 1st thing we do is put

a bit of earth in your mouth and eat it before you in the pool when your saliva moistens the earth because you can really taste the soil you can really tell the difference it just smells pleasant to look really closely all natural and it's loose they say like and yet after a rain you can hold it without getting your hands dirty aboard so the soil is really quite nice that's one of many prerequisites for wine growing but it's also one of the most important things on the seventy's and. the german vintners neighbors used to laugh at him and say he was crazy for letting the weeds grow but frederick shots proved them wrong to this day his soil has withstood both periods of drought and torrential rain to produce good quality crabs. here the grapes are ripe in made oldest over a month in germany. time for the ultimate test.

it has a real bite to it it's not mellow the flesh is mature with time it becomes nice and dry with a wonderful coffee after taste like a very unpleasant you get a. few days later the shots family have begun gathering backgrounds. for spanish wife is a yoga instructor who's taken time off for the harvest. daughter anna has no school today and for a very small that has come from germany to help. everything is going according to plan even though the entire crop was in danger just a few days before a tornado swept through this area causing great damage but sparing the families finger for friedrich shots for thought he might have lost his entire harvest is

still hard to bear. escaped i'm voting for. change is real this is that we can no longer say it doesn't exist as it's clear to everyone who she will win you can see it in the storms and changes in temperature as related since when 1020 years ago you might use different varieties of grapes simply because the extreme conditions all no longer be so good are these varieties still sinful desires of. the tornado is also a topic of conversation at the vintner's there and rhonda the association wouldn't even exist were it not for friedrich shots when he came to and a new c.e.o. 3 decades ago no wine was grown in this region shantz was just 18 at the time and the locals didn't think much of his plans. but that's all changed now there are 25 in us here and wines from wrong have their own designation of origin classification chancers a role model for many here but the wind grows are increasingly concerned about

climate change it's the facts can no longer be overlooked says came a paraphrase of the vintners association see i look like i care bears and i think i'd be asking anyone his from here and is over 60 and they'll tell you that the winters used to be cold and rainy a nearby lies the village of going to the limit the rain has no place in all of that being a cop even fit for the last year the mayor has ordered the collection of rain water to determine the exact amount of precipitation so you can find out exactly how much less rain is falling when climate change is real that we don't want to admit it is something else ok i'm a little sick with you. in the village of time dollars time and i know it has the summer of 29 team brought with it many warm days i'm going out for a last payday canas family has been growing wine on their estate for 9 generations

and their winery is considered to be among the best in all of germany together with grandfather klaus those working here have gathered 5 decades of wine growing experience today their harvesting 15 on one. they never used to grow pina and wa because the red wine grapes would usually never ripen and often under the renishaw . but today it shines enough in fact the colors have to be careful for the grapes don't get too much sun and become too sweet so that when you want nitwits like that asparagus. yes includes the river does this it's most of our happy it's gotten a little warmer it's cute and i remember that as a child especially at our favorite spot dies times when you're back there which lies that in elevation about 250 meters many years the reason i didn't write. properly you can feel you are garnished wished you could live bad times have changed today vintners like they can try to keep their grapes from ripening too fast this keeps them asked to wait an indicator of the winds eventual alcohol

content within acceptable levels should thinning and better soil care can help to achieve those goals and is therefore and this is particularly important for domestic great varieties which needed a temperate climate. this bit this large that heads i'd say it's not going to get any easier but in wine growing terms and going to town or maybe there are still possibilities if we're going to use the opportunity to reduce the foliage the leaf canopy to alter the way through relationship i know it's over started but the more grape leaves the more assimilation which means more sugar so if we can reduce that a bit and get a little help. we're definitely heading in this direction so i'm not worried margate in front. of. cars pater calla is adapting to climate change by employing new methods in the vein not caught in anticipation of more hot summers

he's also moving to higher ground in this new good because the entire we have to keep the soil healthy and ensure we hand over the vineyards to the next generation and the best possible condition especially if you're good and so we do think about it a lot and of course we think a lot about how climate change could affect the wineries future development i was scared and going to. the next generation is already preparing to take over 22 year old phalanx one to step into his father's shoes and head to find god cannot and it's tense generation felix has already completed his practical training with a top ventnor in the palatinate and he's about to begin studying video at the university in guys and but today he's got his hands full because rain is on its way and i want to process as many grapes as possible before hand. it's the start of the 1st semester and then it's cannot he's on his way to the lecture hall

you. know. the. fish you sell in the english today or he'll learn about the basics of botany just like his father did 25 years ago and guys and i guess when he 1st got on with klaus painter also studied under professor hans hina shoots the van. in ologist research and hope through our guys in hind university president is on his way to give an object lesson with a great fine shoot. that child says taught at universities in australia france and the u.s. state of california his research focuses on the effect of climate change on video culture for some students still new to rank the my students and fields and find that for most of you here even if your family's in the wine growing business the connections aren't quite so clear that fits with our topic up there on the wall and one of. the wine growing regions are moving ever closer to the poles in the future

scandinavian wines will be the new normal you know it's wines from germany or france will be different while it could be increasingly tough to produce wine in southern europe i told. the president of guys and i'm university is mainly concerned about the speed at which this change is coming about so. that's why i asked santa does this dust on the aga if we just take the average temperature up from april to october to so which is a prime importance for wine growing dixon then the $28000.00 vintage is the one we conducted simulations for 20 years ago when we said that's 2050 or less is transfer of to. we how we have been 2018 the average vintage of the year 2050 in a bottle and glass. back at vine good color there welcoming the last of this season's harvest of recently grapes 29000 promises to be another good year maybe

not as good as the previous one but everyone's pleased with the quality. now yulia and klaus peter keller once again have time to devote to office work along with the accounting they have a few inquiries about in turn shifts to answer years ago a young woman from norway applying to do an internship here she said norwegians loved german reasoning and she longed to discover how it was made the interne ship was the start of a beautiful friendship and a joint project called good. for you betsy basically over a decade ago we had an incredibly enthusiastic in turn named that the closer her time here in dallas time came to an end the saturday she grew. because she said when i go back to norway i'll have no more recently i went but during several talks we came up with an idea. if you're going to norway in the recycling go there to at least enough know and we implemented it we got on the plane and planted

a recycling vineyard up there he's going by with some early burgundy vines as well you know they don't know we generally sling might prove viable at some point but the success came sooner than expected in 28000 they harvested their 1st right grapes and graft and klaus peter keller have been in close contact ever since. and i. haven't yet how is where they are no way. has. oh. oh oh they only. that's right. yes i i thought so some of our school level last year was extraordinary. student. as well as also to be harvey's time in norway in times peter

keller hopes to be that right and to our best to make it possible. it's now november in germany the great harvest is long over more than a 1000 kilometers north of dolls' time they've yet to start bringing in the grapes . ringback ringback ringback out and grab the can as foma in turn lovingly canvas for the little vignette located in hope aaron's garden in kristiansand norway also experienced very high temperatures and little rain in 2018 so by this summer's end the recycling grapevines from greenwich has a full ripe fruit. i didn't expect it to be honest i didn't

have any trip i didn't have anything prepared to get through right grapes so when it happened already here that fast. 2018 for me that was actually pfaff as i had to rearrange everything in gets to find the press and find the everything i need it's to make wine because i didn't think it was possible i was quite surprised. the next year the weather wasn't as warm and graphs reselling grapes didn't require an author must wait in the autumn the increasingly short days and cold nights dashed hopes for a norwegian reselling $29000.00 vintage such crop failures used to happen at times in germany to. at least that's what we're seeing here in our right you get one year that it's like a normal nordic summer and then the next one is more like southern french. atmosphere and the weather will be more extreme actually in 2008 the

problem was not the right the droughts so we had. the right. because the lack of water and i could never ever have foreseen that that. a problem in a country. like never this year on a graph is giving it another dry she's hoping for. and enough rain to ripen her gripes there's summer even though this weather's not right and it's a strange duality to it and one hand i really you know i was so eager in 2000 and i saw the summer started so early and it was so hot in long and i got so excited that yes we can finally get the grapes ripe and it's unbelievable what a sensation but it has dark gloomy almost undertone

she's quite as simple as it seems. to understand the world better we need to take a closer look at. the. experience knowledge tomorrow she. puts on the documents.

this is the w. news live from berlin could war break out again between armenia and azerbaijan fresh violence or drops in a breakaway region the 2 former soviet republics accuse each other every igniting the long running conflict on their border also coming up more antigovernment right . he's in bella ruse protist is a clear opposition leader svetlana taken off the real winner of august selection and say today's rally used to mark her inauguration. and in the bundesliga a perennial champions by many took

a trip to hoffenheim on sunday some might call the result a foregone conclusion but was it. jared reed it's great to have you with this is germany's foreign minister high current mass has called for an immediate end to fighting between azerbaijan and armenia heavy clashes erupted today in a renewal of the conflict over the new going to occur back region both sides have reported casualties and accuse the other of starting hostilities now nagorno-karabakh is an ethnically armenian on clay we've seen as a by john that's been out of the country's control since the end of a war in 1904 a demilitarized zone separates the region from the wrist of azerbaijan conflict is always smoldering in the region of nagorno-karabakh but after sunday's

attack on the capital step and not kurds it might be on the verge of erupting again some even fear a full blown military conflict the fighting is rooted in a decades long territorial dispute though internationally recognized as part of the by john armenian separatists control the region and the south corpuses both sides accuse each other of starting these latest clashes hijo would pop up off the armenian people have been prepared for the possibility of a war because we realize that there are mean a phobia and hatred with which azerbaijani dictatorship has spread its people that for many decades could not lead to any results other than war. kong pop it alls. it is no secret that the initial fire including artillery fire was launched by armenia and the 1st to die whereas the johnny servicemen. of azerbaijan gave a decent response to the enemy and the enemy could not move an inch and likely job

when the. sun team it. most of the footage that comes out of the region is provided by either the armenian or the azerbaijani ministry of defense the latest fighting is the largest outbreak of the dispute since 2016 the conflict dates back to the dissolution of the soviet union since then both countries have claimed the nagorno-karabakh region as their own territory a conflict that remains unresolved. on sunday both sides declared martial law with immediate effect meanwhile leaders from around the world are calling for deescalation. so earlier i spoke to roman going to ranko from de w.'s russian department and asked him what sparked the fighting this time in what's been a 4 decade conflict. we do not know for sure because there is no

independent verification on the ground what exactly has happened on the sunday morning so we can only assume that maybe what was on the on which side we don't know someone decided to use the international situation where there are other conflicts and the international attention was drawn to them to try to maybe gain ground or try to push this conflict which is very long as you're actually sat there by john showed signs of growing frustration was described click not being a result for decades you must understand azerbaijan is much stronger than i mean it's bigger it's has no money is military powerful so the president or was it by john made some remarks in germany however i saw him in unica this week security conference saying that he doesn't want any compromise but she says she spoke to the prime minister over mania. who suggested to negotiate but as

a by john was not willing to yield and that was roman gunter franco from day w.'s russian department there well tens of thousands of better received ends have rallied in minsk for a 7th week to call for alexander lukashenko to step down sunday not the 50th day of protests since the disputed presidential election in august that lucas hankers opponents say was ringed lucan sankoh denies electoral fraud and was inaugurated on wednesday in a ceremony held without any prior announcement. still no end to the stalemate but these massive protests just won't stop either the demonstrators are determined to oust alexander lukashenko who last week swore himself in for a 6th term in office on sunday they mocked the man they believe is clinging to the throne. was feel like god.

and that's why he made the race if he did not ride again. opposition leaders that planted to kind of scalia dubbed sunday's protest the people's inauguration protestors came bearing her portrait they believe she not look as shank 01 august disputed presidential election. and today we're celebrating. i don't know always will be 2nd in your list but you know gratian all our presidents stephanus for most here. 50 days of protest but there's no sign the question goes government is about to go and it is still trying to push the people off the streets. in gomel and other cities peaceful protesters again faced a violent police response according to officials police detained at these 200

people there are. thousands have been arrested in the last 7 weeks and many of those detained have applauded torture and abuse in custody prompting international condemnation so everybody is looking around the other coming up and i say everybody has this truly was being worried that maybe they will call but there are so many of us. despite a huge government crackdown these demonstrations haven't been crushed but they have so far failed to push look as schenkel out leaving bella roost in crisis and at an impasse. earlier we asked his nick connelly in minsk if he sees an end to the protests in belarus any time soon. every time that these protests seem to be reducing in size then the belorussians come and surprise us every time the police comes in and makes mass arrests it seems like the next week there are more people

out on the streets i think he. has no idea what this is going off 26 years in power and he says that immigration last week the secret inauguration in which he didn't even have any russian gas level international guess that event i think for now it seems that the regime does have some stability reserves or stability the security services are still open now but you know with these massive police presence it's costing them huge amounts of money trying to keep those people and other hand the protest to show no real sign of being intimidated by anything the government could throw them in for now when you talked and they say we we were tired of being afraid we are not going to go back to sitting home and keeping quiet make connelly in minsk there let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. presidential candidate joe biden has condemned president trump's decision to nominate an economy barret as the new jobs on the country's supreme court biden said trump was using the court to overturn health legislation known as a bomb a k.

he urged the senate to delay the vote until confirming the pick until after november election. at a press conference french president emanuel not call says he remains committed to save lebanon from collapse mccall said he was ashamed for lebanon's political leadership and their failure to serve the people he blamed the hezbollah party for attempts to preserve the status quo. and mali and diplomat and former foreign minister. has been named the country's new interim prime minister the move raises hopes that sanctions imposed on the country after all goes could now be lifted the appointment of a civilian prime minister was one of the major conditions set for moving them. around 62 percent of voters in switzerland have rejected a proposal to reduce immigration from the european union switzerland isn't an e.u. member citizens of the bloc can live and work in switzerland and vice versa the measure to stop that was put forward by the populists so we speak party. in

switzerland if you want to change the law you have to put it to a vote one issue on sundays ballots and initiative put forward by the populists with people's party it would limit the number of e.u. citizens who are allowed to live and work freely in the country the party claimed having too many e.u. immigrants would diminish the wealth of swiss citizens if passed it would put a strain on the economic relationship between switzerland and the e.u. and also limit free movement from millions of swiss citizens but a recent poll by the national t.v. station shows more than 60 percent voted against the measure. this initiative goes against my convictions it is part of the ongoing sabotage of bilateral agreements by the swiss people's party i'm not at all in favor even less now because this is not the time to isolate switzerland from the state but if

switzerland had to withdraw from these agreements i think we would be the real losers we live in a time where people are trying to scare us so we crouch in the corner the coronavirus is not helping with this and when it comes to globalization people tend to say we need to shut it down but i do not think this is a solution. translates as well as soon as you would a number of other issues were also on the ballot including the purchase of new fighter jets the right to hunt wolves to keep their population down and whether to have 2 weeks of paternity leave the latter motion unlike the move to entry movement with the e.u. is likely to pass. thank you. well by munich we're back in action just 3 days after they you a facility can't win this time against hoffenheim the reigning bundesliga champions went into the cash undefeated in the league since last year about their hosts this weekend and i push over. how weary byron stepped on to the pitch and hoffenheim

unbeaten in 2020 but the hopes appear to have a plan prepared to smash that winning streak. and it took just 16 minutes for the goals to start oftentimes our mean big church powered a header home to put them in front. of that's 1010 minutes later and byron were left stunned again this time the honors went to mr park. but the visitors even though they were clearly outpaced battled back and joshua kimmage made it to one with this cracker going into the half time break i. often home took advantage of a flat at munich with a relentless attack in the 2nd half the last bit to set up andre crumb r.h. to make it 3. thank. god i. the final blow to byron was in extra time when crime rate scored once again

this time from the penalty spot and confirmed munich's 1st defeat since december last year. for one the final score a tough and time go top of the ball in this league table. and in sunday's light on this league a match by bergen voles book ended in a one old draw despite both teams having plenty of chances to score a winner niels peterson got the ball rolling for vyborg after 11 minutes a perfectly placed corner from green fall and pietersen was there to head harm voles book also scored from scored from a set pay. he was a prick. in a free kick a few minutes before half time he shot deflecting off a defend his leg and into the net. ok to auto racing now and valtteri bottas won the russian grand prix from a sadie's on sunday off to tame might lewis hamilton collected 2 time penalties for

no question this is hard work teachers is on the on good job smiles encouragingly. trying there are just 8 words oh help you don't worry. she's determined to get the most out of her students get is roughly twice her age we despite 9 years of schooling get hard ponit didn't learn how to read or write so we. but i thought what. boy. and he and this is not the 1st literacy course that get hot has attended he finds it very difficult to turn the words he hears into written language it takes more than a half hour for him to write the complete sentence in his exercise book. soften her period initiative. well done.

but there's one problem the sentence is meant to be error free. will have to try again. you know i did well. happy yes of course. i learned something. it's tiring sure. i'm already 63 and it's really difficult to get things to stick in my head. but i enjoy it anyway. my reading has improved a little. with the easy words. but i couldn't write something like that disqualified. normally there are 6 students in this class but none of the others wanted to be filmed do you need and the others in the class aren't as far along as get hot who says he has no problem being open about it. many people are

ashamed and don't want people who they know or maybe their employers to find out. this. like many others with this disability has almost always worked mainly temporary jobs often for years he now has a permanent job with quba a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide work for people like him. how did you have a dream job i wanted to become a bus driver. but i didn't because of the difficulties that i had with reading and writing. that and then i wanted to become a plumber. and i tried to learn that trade but i wasn't really coping with vocational training. and so if they thought and so after 3 or 4 months my boss said to me that i should go back to school and learn how to read and write. but then it

would be better. but then again i didn't do that of course and. so i was sad that i didn't learn a trade. but things are looking up. and now they're now i collect trash but i also enjoy that because of being outdoors and all that. and it's great. we have a lot of freedom it's great. he's almost the only one here who is so open about not being able to read or write. but there are others who work for cuba with similar problems. but most keep it as secret. as if it is this i've noticed that men talk about it more openly than women and yes the women tend to talk about it less they're really ashamed to unfortunately. the men are also ashamed. but the men tend to be more open about it. at least that's

the case with me i decided that something had to change it. is divorced and lives alone is a recovered alcoholic 10 years ago he decided that it was time to come clean no more secrets. my decision triggered by the fact that his daughter was just about to start school. unfortunately i wasn't able to help her and apart from math i could help her there but that's not enough. reading and writing are very important skills these days and i have always wanted to be able to write to her but i can't at least not without making mistakes but i'll keep on trying i'm only 63 but when i'm 65 i'll definitely write her a letter. his daughter didn't want to appear on camera but she's proud that her father is addressing the problems. that make you feel when i see the planes flying

past i always think you'll have to fly to sweden again someday. i start daydreaming. it's beautiful up here where. the view is wonderful. he has fond memories of sweden he spent some of the best days of his childhood there going to school in berlin was a painful experience. there were 40 of us in one class back then and it was really hard to learn with so many pupils. and the teacher who was probably a leftover from the war and used to hit our hands and make a stand in the corner. with that no case standing in a corner is not so bad. but hitting our hands was awful and that was what i had to go through there were 7 of us children in my family. then my mom sent me away

but i was sent to sweden i was 8 years old i lived with auster parents until i was 16 and all those years i was allowed to travel to sweden summer and winter. of course that was good i learned swedish and i can speak perfect swedish whenever i speak swedish and i also think in swedish the. school report that if the svenska there kanya or though they are only i think a got over i wonder if that shows that you're intelligent. people who are illiterate the ones who find reading and writing difficult aren't stupid they remember a lot of things really they're pretty smart because they remember so much stuff that the others have to check their phones where street such and such and you just know that the street is to the left or to the right. what do you do when you get mail. my girlfriend helps me out. she reads it for me.

and if i have to i go to the job center or i call and ask and. unfortunately she hasn't seen this letter yet i'll have to remember to take it with me so she can read it through me. thanks to this is this dense he has this paperwork pretty much under control these days but before he came clean about his illiteracy things were different there were heaps of unopened letters. 2 boxes full moving boxes really big ones. there was stuff from the job center inside from the local authorities but youth welfare office. i didn't throw anything away. and also stuff about my pension and bills were in there too. on top of that got into debt but he's put those days behind him and he no longer feels under pressure to conceal his disability. i used to say i'd forgotten my reading glasses or

i've got another appointment and no time to fill this out now. take it with me things like that. stressful yes it's stressful of course it is when you're nervous you really need to fill up some form and that creates stress. but one thing that's really close to get is hard these days is raising awareness about adult illiteracy today he's in a pub. the mobile literacy project the often will be 0 as a quiz for visitors anyone can take part and there's a prize. thank you i think the fix but i think they got a feel for. us not by every year we put out 160 events like this across germany and one or other of you always help out a lot by approaching people on the street and telling them hey if like us you maybe

didn't learn to read or write particularly well then have the courage to do something about it. it's particularly important when people like paan are there to tell their personal stories. but i did it well by my daughter knows that i can't read well and i always wanted to read her a story but i couldn't i'm still working on it she's 17 now but everything will be ok i will read a story to her one day it was years before. festered death thank you god ponder knows that his life could have been very different if he had learned to read and write at school and he's very keen to pass on that message to others but with levels. of the one law. in florida 5. or and the other.

he's quite as simple as it sinks. to understand the world better we need to take a closer look. experience not to borrow to. touch. a man up i suppose one. today i want to find out why the muzzle is one of the most beautiful river states in germany so i'm all set for right along a part of the old psychopath. the beautiful landscape is certainly here. this bike tour just for fun. chipping. in 30 minutes on d w. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation
