amazon refuses to give me permission to film but the online trader is actively seeking work campers on 26 campgrounds across the u.s. . more financial security but you have to hit the road to get it perhaps not everyone's dream but it seems to work for some. in a lot of criticism about amazon and concern about what the growing offline trade industry would mean for work environments of the united states but one thing seems to be clear that all the work campers in kentucky quite happy with the lifestyle they chose. from happy campus in the u.s. to a geopolitical power game between the u.s. russia and germany over a gas pipeline relations between the sas in a sport in north east germany were excellent until 3 republican senators threatened it with crushing legal and economic sanctions if it continues to provide services

to north stream 2 now the contentious pipeline which is to transport gas from russia to germany has long anger to donald trump drive a sell us gas to europe. this is a small harbor town on the baltic islander for you can. a lot of tourists pass through but otherwise there's not much going on here. what have we done to make u.s. senators think that they have to threaten us in this way. it was poised to surprise when sasnett suddenly became the focus of an international political fight the latest iteration of a longstanding conflict the mash owes us a letter to the company that manages the potence us net which is majority owned by the municipality it was written by 3 republican u.s.

senators in august threatening crushing legal and economic sanctions. thus the letter is a threat. where they state that they don't want north stream due to be completed by ford that's the main point or die and the threat is directed at our port because we have a plant there that used to case the pipes for nordstrom to and because ships docked and a provision there. and they say we should stop doing that. for all schools to watch and i find this utterly shameless because good food on for for now right the fight is about the north stream to pipeline to deliver natural gas from russia to germany the 2nd minutes of piping piled up at the port were meant for the final stretch to the german baltic coast work stopped last year after the

contractor for the pipe playing ships suspended operations under threat of u.s. sanctions. in 2005 the then chancellor gerhard schroeder and russian president vladimir putin signed the deal to build a system of the. natural gas pipelines across the baltic the original north stream went into operation in 2011. it starts in the russian port city of an ensign look mean a crisis found in germany. stream too has also been laid except for the last 160 kilometers to germany. washington is dead set against it claiming it will make europe too dependent on russian gas and exposed to leverage by vladimir putin's old europe germany should not put up with this having 3rd parties tell us what we may do and what we may not do what our energy policy should look like and what projects we may work on here in sas in the outside. it's nothing

new that germany is getting its gas from russia the 1st shipments of natural gas from the then soviet union reached west germany in 1973 during the oil crisis that also angered the us but west germany continued to buy more and more gas from the communist soviet union and unified germany went on to do the same with russia also want to putin's leadership even when the 2 countries had serious disagreements at the political level. sanctions are a means to apply economic pain in order for a government to get its way. by providing goods services and support for north stream to the port of sasnett has created jobs and the economy of the region. local firms are now very nervous. and they predict the tide lifts and for all the companies involved in the project will be under threat from these extra territorial sanctions side of i'm not going to face major problems of economic policy and

economic measures are deployed to pursue geopolitical interests and small companies are exposed to threats. here on the coast we deal with a lot of ships from all over the world we want to pursue international trade him and that. and do business with each and every country of. free trade policies of huge importance for coastal economies men's business. $350.00 companies could be hit by the u.s. sanctions from small engineering outfits to large ship chandlers. it's why you need trade deals all over the world but what's going on here is astounding we're suddenly might is right and that scares us here in this corner of germany and the people we talk to ins are snit's just want to be left in peace. he wants no comment there were 10 here before you i don't feel like. even beyond the north stream to project officials herons are concerned that the ports

international reputation could be in jeopardy. and in another example for us trade relations goods made it hong kong for export to the united states will need to be labeled as made in china after november the knife's financial hoppers again at the forefront of the escalating conflict between 2 superpowers what does that mean to local manufacturers will struggle to preserve their own identities. kong reports from hong kong. it takes a 1000 steps to assemble hundreds of tiny components that's how i feel aggrieved. is made william shome founded his own brand a decade ago hong kong is the birthplace of these high end time pieces this is where they're designed and dissembled because we want to show our all in house with the label had a bad back of the watch but the clock is ticking in november the made in hong

government will revisit the measures in about 2 weeks if the situation improves then the government has pledged to maybe loosen some restrictions specially for the retail sector which is already obviously complaining about the fact that they might lose money or might actually have to close lots of shops but for now the government is saying really need to stand together be united because this is the only way to prevent from having prevent us from having about $400000.00 deaths within a few months if we don't lock down the country. let's now catch up with some other stories making news around the world democratic presidential nominee joe biden has voted in his home state of delaware he joined or than $74000000.00 other americans including his rival dollar who have cast their ballots ahead of election day next tuesday that's more than half of the entire turnout in the 2016 election. the u.s. supreme court has dealt setbacks to efforts by republicans to challenge extended

a 5 year low. a silent protest against a decision many see as a scandal polish workers across the country went on strike to protest the toughening of the country's abortion laws. we're here to fight for our right to choose we're not advocating abortions we just want to be able to decide for ourselves we want to have control over our own bodies. we don't have a choice now we are showing how we feel that they shouldn't have taken our rights from us this is the 21st century where in europe it can't be we have to fight it that last week poland's constitutional court toughened the country's already strict abortion rules even further the panel of judges declared abortions due to irreversible congenial defects in the fetus illegal. the ruling sparked

a massive uproar the majority of polls disagree with the court's decision and even many conservatives have joined the protests frustration has been focused on the powerful catholic church which favors the new roles church services have been interrupted and statues vandalized but most criticism has been directed at the governing law and justice party which many poles believe has ended the high court's independence the party says the protests must end due to the coronavirus pandemic. and we have a situation in which those demonstrations will certainly cost the lives of many people. those who are calling for them and also those who participate in them bring a common danger and so they are committing a crime a serious crime. rights groups are warning the government could soon declare

a state of emergency and revoke the demonstrators right to assemble meeting and to the protests. all right a lot to talk about here and for that i'm joined by d.w. reporter anna shorter and our thanks for coming in. 7 days of protests and the situation seems very tense what's going to happen next well the if you saw in that report this rating has really touched a nerve there's a mass protest planned in walsall for friday and these protests aren't just happening in the capital they're happening outside in other cities in poland and it's not just in the movements as well. there were nurses men and women joined the nationwide women strike on wednesday and people working at universities public institutions according to the local media and private businesses were taking part in that strike. this was a ruling by the constitutional court there is no higher authority that this topic

can be taken to in poland can these protests and actually change anything well if you look at the leader of the of peace the law and justice party of catchin skee he's pretty much saying that no nothing can change he said that this ruling is fully constitutional and what's more in the life of the constitution it could not be different there are some signs that support for peace is forming a little bit because of this court ruling the polling organization cantor says that their opinion polls show that support for the party has fallen to 26 percent that's the lowest since the party came to power in 2016 but this evening the polish president underage duda he's an ally of peace and he told a polish brokaw so that there could maybe be a compromise a way of say protecting those children who may be born with non-fatal bus. defects say for instance down syndrome but also protecting women and not exposing them to

the psychological and physical suffering of having that child die shortly after birth and this address is one of the concerns of the court ruling that some some activists are worried that women with this new rule they're going to be forced to give birth to a 2 inch a child of a baby that they know has fatal best effects and that that might be stillborn might die shortly after the birth it's a horrible idea to go into labor with and some of the some of the protesters raise this fear listen to this and from the mother's perspective it's such a pain to lose a child over the last few pregnancies before leaving she really had this one and i can't imagine they want to force women to and give birth control sylvan who will be dying already are there it's and it's killing them other people and the women are talking about suicide and because of this you know because it's unbearable. already before this polling had some of the most restrictive abortion laws when it comes to

terminating pregnancies where do polish women stand right now so the numbers of women who legal abortions in poland was just around the 1000 women a year that's one of the lowest rates of legal abortions in the whole of the e.u. and where they stand now is they'll be doing what they have been doing for years which is looking for ways to carry out a to have an illegal abortion in poland and from the polish government's own estimates the number of illegal abortions is almost $10000.00 a year and that is an underestimate according to n.g.o.s there are many n.g.o.s that help women get say for instance pills for a safe home abortion over the internet online and get them shipped to poland or who help women get access to a safe abortion by traveling to another e.u. country but there are organizations who have been lobbying for this new tougher court ruling for a long time they've actually want to tougher abortion laws and they say they want
