isn't how the young leader has risen to the top post within germany's greens. she is the rising star of german politics and elena be about 40 years old leader of the german green party. the climate debate is served as a springboard for the greens triumph in recent years climate protection exit from kohl's renewable energy there are the topics that bear baucus fought for since the beginning of her career. on supply moving we are less than 30 years to really make a change to base our way of life our prosperity on climate neutrality that is the task of our generation. and was born in 1980 in northwestern germany and now lives in the east of the country near berlin she and her husband have 2 young children. their back has

a degree in international law and spent several years abroad in the u.s. london in brussels she became politically active in the green party in 2008 focusing on foreign and security issues and she soon became a member of parliament 1st at regional level then in 2013 she entered the building to stock the german parliament at the age of only 32 she quickly earned respect for her thoroughness and knowledge of detail from day one she radiated confidence. then i'd be present but you know you were me i was you can be have a case keep an insertion holy will you take a question and it's yours as a new suit yes yes go ahead i cannot infest beach sure. since 2018 she has been the co-leader of the green party at the national level alongside robert habeck they have breathed new life into the party it's more popular than ever with an elaine of the outback germany would get

a chancellor who speaks fluent english a useful tool in international diplomacy she wants to make europe an important global player you have and especially on foreign policy and security issues already the obama administration called in the past for europe to engage and i think your briley has to face this challenge. there buck was long seen as the number 2 behind robert ha back so her nomination is the green party candidate came as a surprise to many if the greens continue rising in the polls and alina back could succeed angle americal after the september elections and germany would have its 2nd female chancellor. i'm joined now by. green party veteran to form a party co-leader became one of germany's 1st green federal cabinet ministers in 1998 most of the teen 23 years after you 1st sat down at the federal cabinet table

is germany finally ready for a green chancellor. removing this we are already seeing new story could be a new situation sent from decades back to race in the election result times conservatives against the. now we've traced new records the new race is. green against like. the power of changing society against do who go around to nice day to screw that is the new challenge for us and will this challenge was necessary then we name a man in a band or as a candidate who chancery careers we fight to become the leading power in doing so you mentioned the challenges that are now under but i know they are bad but has absolutely no government experience and she's going to be running against

one of 2 conservative candidates who are state premiers of large german federal regions so parties really made the right choice there yes we did and perhaps i can as a person tell you a story as i and her government in 98 and i believed that as a whole more state minister. i knew how it will jump works that it was something tonight if you had played 2 or 3 seasons in a thoroughly and down from one day you now that you have to thank champions league and that was my experience and if i look back on the time after our time government. i remember very well how bad the image was of the women caught angular american she unexperienced she wanted 2 senators german

troops to iraq but now everyone even her opponents in it like me except she has learned and don't do the job not all the time the way it i want to do it what she has to do it and i think i'm not in a bad or has the best preconditions to do it the same way so the loved learning on the job involved that you're foreign policy spokesman for the greens what are a little bit of a foreign policy positions what would a green government mean for germany's international relations if thing in the core or every idea or foreign policy for greens is europe europe is in our interest only with a stronger europe we can solve global problems starting from climate change we are in favor of the stronger

our green deal in the european union but also with all of you with the new geo strategic challenges it is not in europe's interest one time to be signed between an rising china or a possibility cruising the us in europe as a tourist to go and only with the strong transatlantic ties but it's only you said strong transatlantic ties there on defense do you think for example if we're looking at the 2 percent g.d.p. targets in nato contributions if you will. will the green will a green government stick to that. you know we never accepted this term we think it's ridiculous and something you could call a golden calf but we are realistic in europe past camel on

it security and that's not only the threat from russia in the east or around ukraine it's much more severe the threat coming from the south from the other side of the mediterranean sea we also have to invest also in military might we have to do it new european way isn't anything other than just interrupt you there are you saying that germany will not subscribe to the 2 percent g.d.p. target under a green government in regions the greens never have to subscribe did and that's the consequences of elections when i wanted to explain to you is that even if you don't train 2 or 2 percent there is the uncomfortable truth that in the future out in a more and more insane world we have to use bend and invest more in the fence

and the question is not when we do it is not to do or not do to question is how to do it do we strengthen the europeans a billet who hurt their needs help to stabilize doubt someone from poor iraq or the mediterranean sea that is dear and we are convinced that it is historic or necessary that germany has time itself to nato nato means to overcome national defense policy and therefore also our nato partners can rely when germany government buying green troops. you can tell him thank you very much and a massive shakeup in european football 12 top clubs from spain italy and england

have announced the formation of a breakaway super league the new midweek competition will be independent of european football's governing body you a for the super league is expected to be highly lucrative and include many of europe's top money making teams like manchester city ac milan and real madrid as well as the $12.00 founding clubs another 3 are expected to join before the 1st season which according to a statement will start as soon as practicable but you a fan has threatened to sanction clubs that take part of the break away there is a statement saying that clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic european or world level and their players should be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams. well from all this on the job but jonathan crane from sports jonathan how much of an earthquake is this for european football well i mean if this leak to go ahead it would completely change

the fabric of european football really it would kind of damage the integrity of your wife is competitions know to be the champions league now a breakaway league has long been rumored it's often been used to happen as a negotiating tactic to get more out of your way for but this is the 1st time we've actually seen concrete proposals laid out on the table we can have a look at how exactly this super league would take shape there are 12 clubs have signed up so far the league would eventually have 15 permanent members and then 5 would qualify a marriage that plane made we 1st in a league format and then a knockout to decide the winner crucially most controversially perhaps those 15 found the clubs there's no relegation always going to be in this league no matter how badly they perform always going to have exactly always going to have access to those riches and that's why this is kind of being painted as a money grab just for a financial day so what does it mean for you

a fun and i mean they have all sorts of tolan's does this resistance come from and what does it mean for you with well for you a for this is very bad news as i said it kind of makes their competitions the 2nd tier level it really damages the integrity of those competitions you read out your racist statement they are absolutely furious talk of banning clubs and domestic leagues banning players from the world cup and all the time they do that this is the thing and i think this is what the super league will argue and this is why we're going to have legal challenges ahead because as far as the super league is concerned they are well within their rights to set up this league obviously then there's going to be questions about fact competition and that's why this is attracted such a backlash not just from your wife but from european governments we've heard from the european union and also i found groups who are just up in arms about this about the. perceived greed of it all i can read you something that the supporters you're upset they could deceive. irresponsible and competitive driven by greed now as i

mentioned a shill to be some legal challenges ahead in fact it's been reported already today that the super league is engaged lawyers in order to try and block moves from your way for to stop them from setting up this leak and trying to punish them for so notably no german clubs and why yet by munich of course the rainy european champions no bersih development either you know so those 2 clubs would be featuring they have released a statement and have through the c.e.o. . saying that they support the champions league reforms that have been proposed by your wife and they reject the plans for the super league so germany at the moment is out of this another blast and see is parasangs your man in fronts now. president leafy is also the chairman of b. in sports the broke cost which gets a lot of t.v. money from the way for the champions league so perhaps he knows which way his bread

is buttered said they are keeping out of out of it for now as well. thank you very much you're welcome. now there's also some news about one of those proposed super league clubs tottenham of confirmed they have sacked their manager jose mourinho or a new took over us top moment nov 29th team despite a strong start of this season the team in struggling of late currently languishing in the 7th place in the premier league and were recently knocked out of the europa league by dinamo zagreb. now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today moscow has expelled 20 checks diplomats a day off the prague ordered out 18 russian officials who it said were military spies russia has promised to retaliate saying the czech republic was trying to please the united states. authorities in egypt say at least 11 people have died and nearly 100 are injured after

a passenger train derailed near cairo on sunday train was traveling from the egyptian capital to the now delta city of months egypt has seen several railway tragedies in recent weeks. emergency teams are racing to contain a wildfire in south africa's table mount the blaze started on sunday and reached parts of the university of cape town burning the historic campus library and forcing hundreds of students to evacuate at least one firefighter has been injured . have been emotional scenes at airports in new zealand and australia after 3rd has reopened borders for the 1st time in over a year a new travel bubble means people can travel freely between the 2 countries without quarantine tight restrictions in both nations half have over 1900 sizzler. russia's prison service says a jailed opposition little exist in a valley has been transferred to a medical facility. comes after the volleys doctors said he was on the brink of

death and needed urgent treatment and off the western pa want of consequences if in the fall he died in prison the 44 year old has been on hunger strike for 3 weeks after being denied access to his own medical team. says nobody's health should not be of interest to western countries. let's bring in russia analyst in concert and we understand that he has been hospitalized now what do we know about his medical condition right now well the thing we know is from an official press release of the russian prison service we says that he has been given didn't see which could indicate anything actually what we've known from his doctors who analyzed his tests that were lost on this farm going to stand by his lawyers. he has significant cowley and problems in his body that's what they said and

that is quite dangerous for he thought. the fact that he was transferred from prison gives tad that. maybe doctors will be allowed to finally visit here but also it gives ground to thinking that probably his condition is such that you definitely need to be transferred to it that's a medical facility there just their prison medical point which is quite scots but they use top diplomats are discussing and of on the situation today but can that actually do anything. well i think that mr putin is playing his favorite game of who blinks fast with not only his life actually and with the west in general not only with the e.u. . bought my suspicion is that maybe what mr putin was she wanted him to russian women and maybe to exchange who are not as

a high profile russian prisoner for example who never pilot who's been running a gun smuggling in our smugness actually who's serving a sentence in the united states i suppose that putin thinks that nobody really inside russia is really dangerous because he see he is a symbol and he is a focal point of our discontent. but i do think that to get not only out to russia one need a massive appeal and probably personal phone calls from people who put it he wouldn't be able to refuse i don't know whether it's pope francis or i do america but it definitely i think is a game that with his playing now and not only his health is on the line he's playing his this international power game on several fronts there this russian troop buildup on ukraine's border and the growing tensions between russia and the

czech republic but that put even more strain a for example on the e.u. russia relations. yes and i think that on wednesday on the 21st of april dresses the federal the same labor we've got houses of parliament with his annual rest we are bound to hear something spectacular may be introduction of russian troops in the others or which will be another part of the ukraine build up because just if you look at the map it will open the possibility for russian troops to master the northern border of ukraine and the other thing could be also something concerning relations with the e.u. all nato in the wake of this czech spy scandal which you mention and i do think we at the point of crisis which personally i haven't seen since 2014 and the opening all beginning of course think between russia and ukraine if you take it that you

could take it so so sorry further back probably 1983 with the tensions between the drop of and reagan and pershing missiles in europe so i think that it is an inflection point completely see what he has in store on the 21st of april. concert in air thank you very much for that analysis some countries in europe are struggling to get enough vaccine doses for their populations but that's not the case in serbia where until recently foreigners were being invited to take up the offer of surplus shots the government has now stopped allowing the vaccine tourism and has decided to place more focus on getting serbian residents to say yes to corona virus vaccines 1st ws funny for char reports from belgrade. it is the next person in one's term about 4000 doses are being administered here today at the biggest coffee vaccination center. the country has procured some

15000000 vaccines for a population of 7000000. serbia has more vaccines on offer than serbians to want them in fact there's a surplus of russia and all chinese and. other vaccines so the country have been inviting foreigners to take the jams the emphasis is on head on the 9th of april the government decided to suspend the vaccination for a nurse on to food a notice about 30000 had received a vaccine so far a lot of foreigners came back to now it's impossible because of the permission of the government so they need to be a resident here or get married here or something like that. for for now the announcement came after infection rates began rising again the government had apparently realised he needed to convince more of its own citizens to get a jap 1st at least one in 3 people in serbia believes to some extent in conspiracy

theories that claim they are unsafe. gov and he will see everyone who got the vaccine will soon die teen. i think of it is not safe enough for me and that's why i don't want to get used to today's and that skepticism is also apparent on the great streets restaurants are food open and almost no one is you wearing a mask epidemiologist so don't buy the vinyl each says the government focused too much on positive news about procuring the scenes why not doing enough to actually stand the spread of the virus because of a popular dish the government and our leader. for all of them are sitting there to say here's more able than arrows and you know they're really there to provide what is needed and he ignored the fact that it 1st necessary to

educate people so far about 1200000 people have been fully vaccinated in subiaco according to official numbers a high percentage by comparison with other countries in europe but far from enough to spend in an effort to increase immunization and c.v.s. the government has no storage focusing on its own citizens instead of foreigners if you could understand serbian you would be able to read the message on the side of this local bus it says get vaccinated. now to some of the other developments in the global pandemic india's capital delhi is entering a weeklong lockdown the city and the rest of the country are struggling to contain a surge in covert 900 cases authorities say the house health care system is a breaking point british scientists are launching a trial to examine the immune response of people who have already heard the coronavirus scientists will deliberately expose participants to the corona virus and see if they get really infected more than half of all adults in the united

full of european football's governing governing all the. way fast threaten sanctions for any clubs joining the newly. and that's it from me and the news team don't go away off next it's all globalization program global springtime god help us that's what.

this is. going to. that. i depend on mag. migrant workers not only do they use their wages to support their families but. also supporting the local economies of their home country and new ideas and help ensure that their families on the combinatoric in the future. terms of. just want to learn something. india. empowering women

through comics but that's what. wants to do you know you can fix this for your baby or your teams. violence against women is a major problem in india even you know john is fighting back with her pen and paintbrush. in 60 minutes on d w. in many countries education is still a privilege poverty is one of the main causes some young children working mine shots instead of going to class others can attend classes after they finish uni. millions of children all over the world have to go to school.

we ask why. because education makes the world more just. make up your own mind. w. make for minds. welcome to global 3 thousands. work money the means to survive we find out what's changed during the pandemic the challenges faced by migrant workers in india returning to rule areas. in germany romania and workers are fighting for their rights in the meat industry. and the lack of jobs in kenya is leaving people in

struggle at the best of times increasingly desperate. no doubt the covert 19 pandemic has hit the poorest hardest this year alone the number of people worldwide living in extreme poverty looks set to climb to 150000000 half of them children in formal jobs in particular have seen sweeping cuts including in kenya where steady work is hard to come by many kenyans rely on incomes and over from their relatives working abroad. is deeply unhappy the 3 year old is missing his mom. for more than a year now his only contact with her has been by a video chat. that's because she's taken a job as a domestic worker and a nanny in saudi arabia. both kalita and his 8 year old

brother up to stay back in kenya under the care of their grandmother they live in compare a huge slum on the edge of nairobi. he says like many kenyans his mother stuffer runs a filter have no other choice than to seek work abroad. the money that my daughter was making here in kenya just wasn't enough she decided to go to saudi arabia for the sake of the family. we depend on her for everything she went in january 2020 and says she won't be back until january 2022. 2022. at 1st stuffer runs us and all her income to kenya up to $230.00 u.s. dollars a month it's not only her mother and children who depend on the money so do his

siblings and 5 year old nephew tree. i use the money to pay school fees for the children i buy their school uniforms and food for everyone. she doesn't send any money we just have to make do because we have no other form of income to cover the rent and buy food so we just purser beer. with a pandemic income from kenyans working abroad has become even more by school millions of people in kenya have lost their jobs as a result of lockdowns and the collapse of the tourism industry. for those who are already poor it's especially tough. stefan's the sister used to work in a hotel now she does odd jobs where she can the virus has also made things tougher for was different in saudi arabia. it looks like.

me. maybe. because of lockdowns and curfews in saudi arabia stepha runs a hasn't sent much money home since june last year the family all struggling measures introduced to stop the spread of the virus have impacted economies around the world remittances sent home by migrant workers have gone down in many countries but economist james she says the opposite is true for kenya a lot of us expected better meetings as we go down because most of the stronger

economies were feeling the strongest negative in part because of corporate maintain but what's surprising is that such a very returns as went up. by almost 10.7 percent. money from outside than ever before i think that you know pretty 1000000000. $3000000000.00 u.s. dollars in 2020 that's nearly half the value of kenya's annual exports many kenyans working abroad are in highly qualified jobs with a good salary and they're keen to see progress in their home country so they not only send money to their families they're also actively investing in the kenyan economy. remittances is a hope for kenya a possibility to start orienting its economy drugs production and value addition

because we notice that remittances are not just about food. that's for opinions have opted to start investing in the country the money is flowing into many different sectors ranging from tourism to agriculture. it's giving a much needed boost to the kenyan economy that could improve the lives of many people certainly the a cigar family is desperately hoping for change. to their family. to make me look like. i want to take to make me happy in the meantime little while it will continue to miss his mother and no doubt shed many more tears before they are finally reunited. it's a worldwide phenomenon people leaving their homes and families to work abroad as

domestic servants in care work or construction or is agricultural work has 164000000 international migrant workers headed to wealthier nations for work in 2019 that's according to estimates by the un among them while highly qualified medical staff according to the world bank in $2900.00 migrant labor has sent $554000000000.00 u.s. dollars home to their families most of this was earned in the u.s. the united arab emirates and saudi arabia they sent it back to their families in india china and mexico. but it's not just families who rely on this income the entire economy so some countries depend on it too. they can help pay for housing food and education remittances from family members abroad make up a significant part of household income in many countries on average migrants send around

15 percent of their monthly wages back home and many of them use money transfer services. allow the global markets by this in this forwardable there are a fraction of those for bagel you can. increase your. local bank accounts large storage or money you know. and make it more effective. western union was one of the 1st international money transfer services it has now been sending around money for 150 years until recently it relied on a large staff and infrastructure like physical locations costs for international transfers could reach around 20 percent of the money being sent but these services . have increasingly gone digital today to transfer money you only need internet access that increased competition have cut costs as a mo

a digital service was founded in 2012. it now operates in over $190.00 countries. and we aim to be 70 to 80 percent cheaper than the high street offering and generally our charges are coming in at anything for all for a very for a very high traffic corridor or someone who has very well developed trials we could be at his lowest point 35 percent the average costs for international transfers are around 6.5 percent worldwide according to the world bank by 2030 the un through its sustainable development goals wants to reduce remittance charges to less than 3 percent in order to help reduce global inequality and poverty once you give somebody the power in their hands to very quickly in very cheap way instantly send money to people that that behavior change and generally that change in

a way that supports inclusion and supports same out and on households run by women in particular to invest remittances from abroad primarily in the education of the next generation according to unesco report from $29.00 teams but the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in lower income for migrant workers and thus lower remittance flows and in 2021 the flow of money could decrease even more that would have far reaching consequences. he walks of the country the formal education up to the secondary are not too costly but yes continuation of education can be a challenge it insists is not true and so they do so will the huge development implications. country or country unhealthful has a reliance on. migrants and their families are hoping for

a quick end to the pandemic that way the next generation will have better chances. typically migrant workers are employed in hard graft jumps gemini's neat industry for example relies on foreign labor from eastern europe every day these workers dismember thousands of carcasses in appalling conditions it's work most local people don't want to do now though the workers are fighting back. these people responded to ads in romania and came to germany to work in the meat processing industry they left their homes in search of a better life but that's not what they found. the worst thing was the hours. i had to get up for work at 1 in the morning. and i'd

have to work until 5 or 6 in the evening. change. they treat you like a slave every day you're moving tons of money to you go back pain and all you learn by the end of the month is $800.00 euros that's enough to make you weep. just plain simple the 2 men gave notice after 3 months in the meat factory and began working at a different company called martin in kyoto slow in north rhine-westphalia they hoped that conditions there would be better from the 1st of april temporary workers may no longer be hired in germany smita industry until now foreign workers were employed by sub contractors and worked for low wages but now employers and unions cannot come to a way to agreement workers representatives are ramping up pressure and calling for strikes work is a kept up to date on the negotiations thanks to news bulletins in romanian polish and russian many of them don't speak german but had signed contracts written in

german nonetheless when they realized what they'd let themselves in for it was too late the conditions and wages are terrible people come here with the wrong expectations they get here and discover that germany isn't paradise on earth he's a. 3 year old gobbler to have a school wasn't expecting that but he expected to be paid a fair wage he spent 4 months working on a construction site in germany he earned $300.00 euros a month not enough to get by. i have to work that's why i came here. i need to support my family in rumania but i want my son to be able to go to university but it's hard. desperation drove him and tens of thousands of others from eastern europe to seek work in germany they often do jobs that germans don't want to do. a 15 minute drive from the demonstration the small town of home too many remain ians who work in the nearby meat and sausage

factory. these men tell us that they've been waiting for more than 2 months to be paid they haven't been able to send money home to their families in romania. we've eaten for turned his pastor with sugar he's been asking for our wages were getting no work. they just lie to us. meanwhile back at martin including us along with the protests are taking place some workers are starting their shifts in the factory including some rumanians who've been in germany for 2 years. before i came here i worked in spain for more than 8 years my husband stayed in romania with the children. when our son finished school came with me to germany and then my husband followed too. so so. now they want to stay together here in germany the unions are organizing

further strikes and planning to keep up the pressure on management until the wage agreement is reached. when the pandemic struck last year millions of migrant laborers in india lost their jobs the government put the country into lockdown and sent them home. in rural india where most come from there is little work but for a few the return home has offered the possibility of a new beginning. the pandemic cost him his job in the big city it was then another 4 months before canner and garcia could return to his family in rural.
