5:30 pm
the, our new global 3000 series, the threat you're facing a heroes taking a stance. it's not important to make up until the global 3000 theories start june 21st on d w. the me. busy think it prints is unique to an individual pattern of riches and sorrows that can reveal more than just fewer identity when a thing that makes even just please in contact with a surface, at least traces of salt and proteins that can now be analyzed using new technologies that how scientists identify someone's eating habits the diseases they suffered from,
5:31 pm
or whether they took drugs even centuries after the fact the following fingerprints into the past and rediscovering history. welcome to tomorrow. today the science show and the w. busy repositories of non h centuries old folks can teach us a lot about the past, as long as we can decode them. cryptographers have yet to decide for the 15th century voyage manuscript, for example. like historical books, dominique, as well as intellectual secret secrets about the people who wrote them, catch them and left their traces in the form of proteins. these molecules are found in every single cell of the body, and each type of protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids folded in a unique way. scientists of any recent,
5:32 pm
he learned how to read this data hidden between the lines of old books the so called marco polo bible is almost 800 years old. tiny slithers of the parchment are old biochemist. pierre giorgio regard g needed to look into its past . regrets he's speciality is proteomics the study of the range of proteins in organisms. he examines documents, paintings, clothing for traces of proteins, and they can be thousands of years old. before the bible belongs to the laurentian library and florence, it's named after marco polo because he was thoughts. i have taken it to china to the court of crude like con. but what kind of parchment is it made of? back then the paper had not yet been invented. surface had been examined with instruments like spectrophotometer is using ultra violet and infrared light and so on. but then we proteomic systems came along and examined the proteins. there was
5:33 pm
a theory that bibles from the period were written on parchment made from the skin of lam fetuses. it turns out this one was non calfskin blues were a guess. he says it's a type of parchment that was only used until the middle of the 13th century in the south of france. this new method, together with textual analysis, have revealed the bible's origins. no one the laurentian library had ever heard of proteomics before. quiz that we have that, i mean this was absolutely new to us. we get a hold the academic world, our researchers and experts on manuscripts. something that was completely unknown to them. something we always wanted that a physical analysis of our document e fees because i but i guess he had a problem. he needed samples that his pershing analyses and most libraries and museums refused to allow precious work to be damaged in any way. but
5:34 pm
a solution was found to re guessing problem, as it came from israel. in a television sub lab silberstein, originally from russia, conducts per, she'll mix research with as soon as he heard about ra guess he's worked with marco polo bible. he wanted to get involved. ah, i go here immediately, i took it forward, it was a can extract result to dicker result, the destruction of object once in a 2nd. think our technology make pretty concentrations means of increase concentration of proteins. and keep that know for sharon said, if we want to keep on examining cultural heritage, we simply cannot continue these destructive technologies just like a renaissance gene that coming up with ivan card ideas. really, the silberstein has invented plastic films containing deeds of charged resins. that
5:35 pm
jewel proteins and other chemicals from objects they're placed on the extracted proteins can then be analyzed in the laboratory. his latest school, an examination of one object, casanova, his manuscript of her grades to the lower molecule. quote, portrait jack. i'm with miss jacqueline annoying me from casanova. men was to the shirt anton checkoff was wearing when he died. little by little silberstein and his team working their way through the literary cannon. another exciting discovery is what he found on a manuscript by russian writer may count lucas cost me waste was to do with kudos which was a source of such candidacy in we'll get for most of them
5:36 pm
are good. the answer was found in traces of sweat on the manuscript. drugs read shows the highest concentration, greens, the lowest. wow, because it was a short time when we get the people found the objective information about teresa. so for our peer with in the particular morphine in the book of our papers, hilda stein sent the extracted proteins to rigatti and milan in his lab. but the polytechnic university, the plastic films, are dipped in a chemical solution that detaches everything that has stuck to them. the enzyme trips and breaks down the proteins into smaller peptide fragments which have been analyzed by a mass spectrometer. and major
5:37 pm
breakthrough by the protein historians had to do with the history of milan itself. half the fifty's residence died in a plague epidemic in 1630. were a guess he wanted to find out what the death registers still in existence and kept from the state archives might reveal. with silberstein films, he examined the lower right margins of several pages and found that they both traces of sweat bacteria, tobacco, and food, or pitcher cameras on the protein. but take that a pass course, we examine the proteins associated with plague bacteria, but we also found out that not everyone died. 2 percent of the victims died of anthrax. with this research in which we identify proteins because we have, in a sense, brought back into life the more through our c, mario, written from the grave in which they were buried for 100 years ago. we've brought
5:38 pm
them back to life. for me, it's quite incredible. equest, as you know, my own apartments that are being pierre giorgio regret, he says pershing historians could read, discover all the world history in an antiquarian bookshop in florence. he recently found this book published in venice century ago. ah, pro rated, she said he would probably find all kinds of bacteria, epidemics, traces of cholera typhoid who knows, you know, some personnel mix could become one of the most exciting sciences of the future by casting a new look at the past in scribes publishes and read it had left information about themselves as traces of proteins on the pages of proteins are found in the sweat. the body produces limits
5:39 pm
under stress. and proteins may play a role in the somewhat pungent smell of sweat. but in fact, stress plays a vital role in human survival. since prehistoric times, stress has helped humans to survive. when a predator approaches our brain sounds, the alarm releasing the stress hormones, adrenalin and cortisone. adrenalin gives our body a sudden energy burst. our heart rate and blood pressure rise, that comes more blood to our muscles. the stress hormone cortisol is released soon afterward, acts as a stimulant, reason, blood sugar levels suppressing the need for sleep and reducing our sensitivity to paint. but in the long term, it can ravage the immune system. adrenalin and cortisol give us an energy rush and activate the fight or flight response. afterwards, our body needs to rest and recover. today stresses different. often it just doesn't
5:40 pm
stop. this constant state of high alert can lead to chronically high levels of cortisol that can make us sick and weaken our immune system. it can also promote obesity, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. the good news is there's plenty we can do to beat stress including breathing exercises when to try it. ready ready ready sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath. feel how your body expands as fills your lungs. exhale, creepy. studies show that conscious breathing reduce stress levels. but there's another unexpected factor that affects how we deal with stress. and it has to do with where we grow up. the fellow is
5:41 pm
a typical city kid who didn't spend much time in the countryside or have contact with animals. this guy, by contrast, grew up surrounded by nature. he had lots of contact with farm animals. research shows that people who were raised in the country are less likely to have certain mental illnesses, particularly growing up in the countryside is actually associated with a much lower risk of getting depression. so are people who grew up in the country also better at coping with stress? to find out rubers, teen conducted and experiment. they simulated a job application interview with 40 male test subjects. bottle during the day. why do you think you're the best candidate thing? well, because of my previous experience in the life cycle, school interviewer didn't just listen quietly but intensified the pressure by asking the candidates do some mental arithmetic on the spot to how backwards from
5:42 pm
3269 in steps of 162-3221. stop for for that's wrong. please start again from 3269. i told the subject didn't know the interview was not for a real job. getting the answers right was not important. the experiment was about something completely different. and standard to hear that it's a standardized test, just it's only purpose is to put people under stress under experimental conditions . when defects feel part of 20 of the test subjects grew up in a city and have never had contact with farm animals. the other 20 spent at least the 1st 15 years of their lives in the country and had lots of contact with farm animals. it's already been established that that has certain health benefits
5:43 pm
as it's ministers, with regard to allergies and auto immune diseases. it's been known for years that growing up in the country protects people from them. and even after lunch, i'll fix things. there are further benefits. residents of rural areas have contact with many non harmful micro organisms that are prevalent in and around animals in their dung, coats and feed researchers call them old friends isn't and it's a colorful of bacteria argue bacteria, viruses, and single cell organisms. all of these microorganisms that were present during our evolution are referred to as old friends say by and his colleagues 1st identified the effect of these old friends in experiments on mice. the common moiz and tag with the mice. we've demonstrated that when they're treated with these good microbes, there are less susceptible distress. for example,
5:44 pm
we can prevent chronic stress from causing intestinal inflammation or increased anxiety in the mice. who does that also hold true for people who grew up in the country. the researchers use the fake job interview to try to answer this question. before the test, they took saliva and blood samples from the participants. a particular interest where the stress hormone cortisol, which is produced by the adrenal glands and released in greater amount just when we experience stress and decided kind interleukin 6, which is also released when we are stressed and it stimulates inflammation. high levels are associated with a whole range of illnesses. simply inflammatory bowel disease and inflammatory disease of the joints, and as to the emotions and with depression for examples, for post traumatic stress disorder. and in zion disorders. before the experiment, cortisol and interleukin 6 were present at normal levels in both groups,
5:45 pm
city kids and those who grew up in the country. after the test samples were taken, the cortisol level proved to be the same in both groups. that means they experienced the test situation as equally stressful, but how did their bodies deal with the stress? the researchers looked at the white blood cells, leukocyte. they produce the class of cytokines known as interleukin, including interleukin 6 produced in larger amounts when we're stressed by this, as the number of white blood cells and the number of inflammatory cytokines released were higher in city dwellers than in those from the country. in 2 hours after the test researchers drew blood again to see if the interleukin 6 levels had dropped and were returning to normal. the results were interesting. the, the city residents weren't able to regulate their interleukin 6 level. that means
5:46 pm
it continued to rise over the 2 hours after the experiment constant, but those from a rural background were able to bring the level down within the same time period. why was the 2nd group able to deal with stress more swiftly? professor says it has to do with the old friends contact and it didn't make contact with these micro organisms enhances the regulation of the immune system. the rise and interleukin 6 was less pronounced in those with a rural background. and so those who had a lot of contact with animals reduce their interleukin 6 level and by implication their stress level more quickly. it's not yet clear whether rural microbes are the only reason for that could extended contact with a pet dog or a cat eel. the same positive effects reba and his teen wanted to find that out. ah.
5:47 pm
so many of us, one of the most stress inducing chases is the office. just as we're trying to rise and impose and email the phone rings, guys come on, then a text message pings on to your cell phone. oh, i do have a meeting to run to. it's impossible to concentrate and get anything done done. but how could come from confuses, thanks to emotion recognition software. shadley mar, loan is a software developer. his work involves a lot of complex tasks. it can be strenuous and sometimes kind of depressing when you can't figure it out. then you are in a bad mood and his colleague mathias schmidt. my also spends a lot of time in front of the computer, both of these multitasking worst case scenario. it hits you all at the entire day,
5:48 pm
long, various stages of things. you could sit down and say, monday i'll do only the one thing tuesday. the other in practice though that's difficult. they both work for tony a company that is looking to develop an intelligent software system that automatically supplies staff with only as much work as they can complete. the employees have to wear a pulse monitor on the job. a video cam films their face the supposed to monitor their mood and emotional state. based on that data, the software will decide how much work they can handle. at that moment, marco maya helped develop the software. he's looking at charlie's data to try to figure out how his colleague was feeling about his work right then. and what his emotional state was like. the history of
5:49 pm
them, if you find the task difficult or easy was he may be at risk of feeling over extended, over a longer period. ah, to figure that out, the computer will have to learn how to interpret emotions. again, a blog, my is one of the test subjects. she's assigned a stressful task. she has to retype various text. what she doesn't know is that the text will get increasingly difficult. first, she gets the children's story than a text with complex chemical formulas. pulse monitor gets feedback on her stress level. at the same time, the camera monitors various facial muscles that indicate emotion, like a corner of her mouth, all the area around her eyes. rigging, his expression is fairly neutral, but not quite. often. on the right side, you can see she's under stress. can we just saw that the line is trending upwards?
5:50 pm
what that means generally speaking, is that the task is a challenging one. and the for that she's getting more stressed and one of the other thing that's very interesting is that the video also that's his draw conclusions about her heart rate, is her heartbeat, regular, irregular, fast or slow. based on various insights from medicine and psychology, we can draw some conclusions about stress levels, the demands being made on her or relaxation. and so even though her expression might be nutro poker face and she might still be feeling stressed on the inside of it, you know, the light off and respond is do we really want to that a computer peer so deeply into our mind and soul phillips is alec from the german research center for artificial intelligence, because his doubts, ah, and what if this is used as a form of surveillance, perhaps even with repercussions for the employee, that if someone's performance seems sub par,
5:51 pm
they might be fired about maybe because they're going through a tough time on a personal level, when the system might detect that, and that could have a negative repercussions for the employee. and that's something we definitely don't want to see germany, it's illegal to monitor employees this way. without that, the mission will they always have a choice. marco maya says his only goal is creating an optimized work atmosphere system. for example, it would activate cold forwarding in moments of intense concentration. but what many people say is that technology now serves as a major distraction. there are so many different channels of communication, email messenger, social media, especially at work. it's getting harder and harder to work on. something in a really focus deep way over a longer period of time. but it's become harder and harder to achieve flow. the feeling of energized, creative focus, ah, twisted it, it's
5:52 pm
a state that's often described as the optimal balance between boredom and feeling overwhelmed and stressed. it's that mid point where i feel challenged, but can still master the task of that flow that finished in flo, the, during the state of flow of brain releases, happiness hormones, heart beat small rhythmically and skin conductance increases. ah, marco, my wants to use these responses to teach computers to be aware of our emotions and to assign tasks to work as based on what they can master at that moment. who suzana also believes that systems like based on the useful applications for example, in traffic and on the road. it might involve a train or autonomy is driving system where we want to know if the locomotive
5:53 pm
engineer or the driver is still alert and awake. but there might also be beneficial applications in office settings or provides the company has already carried out tests in real life offices. the results are still under wraps, but it's already clear that systems like this opposed to change how we work. if i was what is read, why do you have a science question? you've always been mulling over every weeks. we answer a query sentence by us. this time it comes from the ria inquiry what is a black hole? black hole are among the weirdest objects,
5:54 pm
the universe. they're trapped in space time where gigantic amounts of matter are compressed to a point so massive that had curved space almost infinitely. and brings time to withstand still, the border of this bizarre world is known as the event horizon. the german astronomer college font shield did seminal calculations of the defining parameter describing the event horizon. black holes are formed when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle, or when the compact remains of dense stars merge downtown, the lightweights among these gravitational traps are born. they're called stellar black holes whose gravity ranges from between a few times to some 10 times that of our sun. medium massive black holes can have up to 100000 times the solar mash and the really giant, super massive ones. look at the center of many galaxies, millions, even billions of times as massive as the sun. black holes grow by sucking up
5:55 pm
everything and there vicinity and even light can't escape the gravitational traps. and they merge with one another to grow. albert einstein predicted them and his general theory of relativity in but they were 1st detected around 90 years later in the center of our galaxy. the milky way is one such invisible mass that accelerates nearby stars. to incredible speeds, telescopes around the world were synchronized to capture the 1st ever image of a black hole. the relatively spectacular looking picture shows the place where time comes to a standstill. the dark event horizon surrounded by a ring of light from the hot matter. the orbits of the black hole. it was a milestone in straumy. me
5:56 pm
to send in your questions, just go to our website or find us some switch. ah, that's it for this week's edition of tomorrow today. thanks for watching. we'll be back next time with more stories from the world of science and technology until then stay healthy. and i the the the the news
5:57 pm
the the the the the ah, the ah me the can because you
5:58 pm
oh small no. they want to know what makes suggestions came in love and bad thing away and i'm not my own everyone with leader holes and every day getting you ready to meet the german can join me. rachel, do it on d. w. how does a virus spread?
5:59 pm
why don't we panic by and when will all of this just 3 of the topics that we covered and a weekly radio broadcast. if you would like any more information on the kroner virus or any other science coffee, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcast. you can also find us at ww dot com, forward slash science. ah, in many countries, education is still a privilege. hungry is one of the main causes. some young children worked in mine, jobs instead of going to class can attend classes after they finish working millions of children all over the world. can't go to school the we as blind because the education that makes the world more just the make up your own mind.
6:00 pm
w made for mines the. the news news, this is dw news lie from berlin, beijing, and i'm says, a major policy shift to boost china's flowing birth rate. the limit of 2 children per family has been scrapped. couples will be allowed up to 3 economists say the aging population is a threat to growth. also coming up lost in the chaos of a volcano, where options we need the children separated from their parents in
6:01 pm
a massive occupation and volunteers doing their best to take care of. and germany demands answers after a report suggests a european neighbor healthy united states spy on chancellor bank of america. ah, i'm pablo full. yes. welcome to the program. china is scrapping. it's long standing policy of only allowing couples to have 2 children. parents will now be able to have up to 3. the ruling communist party wants to reverse the low birth rate. the latest census shows china's population is growing at its lowest in decades. and officials fear the aging population means a shrinking workforce could threaten economic growth. this pediatrics center and beijing may look busy, but china, his birthright,
6:02 pm
has fallen heavily in recent years. many hear welcome to use of the new 3 child policy, but also regretted that it didn't come soon to kill you. i think it's a good policy because the aging population is quite a serious problem. that's i think the country should have taken the step earlier. it was like us have missed the time that we could have had another child. thank god . china is rolling communist party relaxed it's one child policy in 2016, allowing most couples to have to. but that appears to have done little to stop the birthrights downward trend latest census data shows that the number of people in china older than 65 rose sharply in the last decade. at the same time, the working age population shrank dramatically. despite the new 3 child policy, many chinese a hesitant to have more children, they say the extra costs involved,
6:03 pm
along with the demands of taking care of their own elderly parents just too much to bear. high her. yeah, they should be more policy support to encourage people to give birth to more children, including more education, support, medical support, so that people are more willing to raise children off some 40 years after the implementation of the one child policy. it seems china's next generations will face a whole set of new challenges. well, for more on this correspondent math, he has building is in beijing hi mathias. now, how big of a problem is china's population structure? while the biggest problem of china's population structure that china might reach its peak growth in the next one to 3 years and then its population will start to decline. meaning that it's that the population,
6:04 pm
the share of the population will rise. that's a problem for many economies that they have to pay more as and the more retired people, while not having as many young working age people. but for china, this comes at the moment when it's not quite as rich as other countries who have experienced the same. so the burden on the young people will be much higher. and this is something that has worried the government and economists for a few years now. it could be much more difficult for china than for other countries like germany, japan, italy, other european countries that have the same problem. all right, so you said that it's been worrying the government and economists, but what about people in china? what are they saying about the government's policy shift? the generation that is now planning that families is people who are around in the end of the twenty's and the beginning of the thirty's. they have all grown
6:05 pm
up during this one child policy, many of them as single children, especially in the cities. so many of them don't even know what it's like to grow up with more children and they feel that there is a lot of pressure on them. and that raising to children might be too much of a pressure. me let alone 3. so because there is a big competition in the education system, parents invest a lot in private tutoring. somebody on the internet says, said ironically that the reason why he doesn't drive 3. rolls royce was never that rolls royce had a cap on how many rolls royce who can drive others have said, how, how does the government imagine i'm having 3 children when we have to take care of for elderly parents. so there is a lot of discontent. there was a pole on the on,
6:06 pm
on social media by the official news agency. will you have a 3rd child, 90 percent of people online responded certainly not and see why the official news agency pulled the poll after that. well, briefly mathias. is there any talk of the government doing more to help families? yeah, there is talk to have announced that they will improve maternity leave conditions and other things. however, there's not a lot they would have to improve in order to make 3 children attractive to many people. enjoy. all right, my billing. yeah, thank you for that update. the agency doctors without borders is warning that hundreds of thousands of people displaced by a volcano erupted in eastern democratic republic of congo are at risk of cholera infection. the eruption of mountain near a gun go near the city of goma, sparked a chaotic mass. exodus hundreds of children were separated from their parents. dw,
6:07 pm
my dear mula reports. now from nearby sack a on some of the young people still waiting to be reunited with their families. then he had gone, go volcano, still fuming over a week after the devastating eruption. and it's still impacting people in its vicinity. like 6 year old as he lost his parents and the calles when he and his family flat and panic on this child has been found and he will take him to your home because the way to find his parents, he will stay with you but but you're welcome, but happy, but it's your works as a volunteer for the red cross. his job is to register children who have been separated from their parents. according to the you and nearly a 1000 children were reported missing after the option of them. bahati and colleagues have been able to reunite 700 with their parents, but happy found ezra among other children on the street. he says that child has
6:08 pm
taken in body already has 6 children of his own union as to why they keep doing a sacrifice. the level that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children, but still struggling at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential to the people. yes, but that's not enough. it's not pain and it becomes a work to provide to people the next hour. many of the 400000 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelters. people are sleeping in schools or inside the church. what, when we, when i so how can i keep the living conditions? i've become very bad. markets have no, personally, i'm not making
6:09 pm
a living. i'm now a poor was if you money. now me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forget the moment when the sky turned red. i told my mom, mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many were seeing there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i was not even able to run to the house. she thinks she knows where her parents might be, but it's far away and transportation is expensive. after i find mom and dad would like to move here because i like to play on the love of a pastor option as right now. me hope to be reunited with their parents. soon. the germany is demanding answers over
6:10 pm
a report. the denmark helped us by on senior european politicians, including chancellor anglo michael initial revelation here in the a decade ago showed that the us national security intelligence agency top the phones of several leaders with medical among them. now, a new multinational media investigation says a danish military intelligence unit supported the us wire topping operation. spying on your neighbors. denmark secret intelligence agency report, he gave us counterpart the n s a access to extensive data streams through danish internet cables to stop on european politicians. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows for my german chancellor candidate pash. dangling was one of these pianos targets. he is angry at the revelation saying, it's pretty grotesque that allied intelligence services by a leading politicians of other countries is evidence that they have
6:11 pm
a life of their own. i think this is a political scandal. the phone tapping of chancellor angle america and form a foreign minister. frank, i just, i my came out in 2013 as part of whistleblower. edward snowden leaks on the essays activities. what they didn't reveal was that such a close european ally was involved another major problem. the danish government didn't inform their german neighbors that they apparently knew about the east dropping as early as 2015 to those who were involved in the original investigation into the n. s a scandal. this hasn't come as a surprise. that's why i always pointed out, we have interests, we have common interests, but there is no field of friendship concerning states or agencies. friendship you have from between person, but not between agency. so never trust anybody. the chairman government said it
6:12 pm
only found out about the latest revelations from the press, but on the question of what repercussions they would be uncle. america's spokes person refused to be drawn further. the bonus with the federal government has taken note of the report and is in contact with all relevant national and international bodies for clarification. in kentucky. the danish intelligent service in the danish government haven't yet commented on the revelations, but they're sure to have rustled some feathers here in berlin. well, for more were joined by our political correspondent petty's at top a. hi, today's a. now, how serious a breach of trust is this between denmark and germany? well, hello, it is a serious breach of trust. of course, i mean, for many experts this revelation didn't really come as a price because of course, that is what intelligence agencies are for. they gain information and they pass it onto the government so that these can pursue the interests. and of course,
6:13 pm
we know that europe in agents intelligence agencies have been working closely not only with each other, but also with us counterparts in the past decades. but what makes this case stand out? what makes it so specialist? the fact that denmark is a really close ally of germany is a fellow in your country. it's even a direct neighbor. and that the fact that denmark choose to side with the u. s. over germany. and its european allies is quite a surprise, it's quite telling, and that's what's causing quite a bit of outrage here in berlin. well, he said this crossing a bit of outrage is the german government going to take action over these allegations? well, we haven't heard a lot from them so far. we've heard of the report that pier steinberg politician affected by this has commented on the issue called it political scandal, but he's not a part of the german government anymore. his doesn't even hold a political office anymore. and other politicians affected like most notably,
6:14 pm
of course, chancellor macklin, german president langley stein maya, have not publicly commented on it, but that doesn't come as a surprise because as we've just heard, they only found out about this whole thing by the press inquiry. so not that long ago, and we've heard the german government's spokes person common there. and he also didn't say much, someone from the danish government has reacted. now that's the danish ministry of defense. and she said that, of course, like a systematic spying on close allies is unacceptable. and then to something we know an assessment. we know the german government shares dw political correspondent, today's top a thank you for that update to sport now. and this year, as copa america soccer tournament has been moved to brazil just 2 weeks before kick off. the competition couldn't be held in argentina as plans because of a karone of our research. the event was due to begin in the situs on the 13th of
6:15 pm
june, argentine as co host, columbia has also been stripped of the tournament because of civil unrest there. that's all from us for now. coming up next, my colleague, robert watts with the business news, i am public for me and the rest of the team here to take care on fees. the news up to date don't miss our highlights. the w program online, the w dot com highlight
6:16 pm
me species in expedition. looking to design a company research team to the pacific to the language. we'll start to force on the w the denali is trading partners. take a phone line on last week to, you know, make community of west african states has to spend the countries membership wants to see a swiss per turn to democracy. the also coming up the global recovery is under way a new report from the cd raises the outlook. so most economy, but you want some countries will bounce back faster than others. and turkey
6:17 pm
needs a strong stomach for instability. good stories and sex early signs. all looking good. if you do business on robots in berlin, welcome to the program. west african leaders have decided to suspend molly from the regional block known as echo west in response to last week's military coup in the country. the decision was made us an extraordinary meeting that took place in the gun and capital the crop over the weekend. and i go, us stands for the economic community of west african states. it was formed in 1975 . and it's made up of 15 countries which have traditionally worked together to foster close the economic ties. the decision to suspend marley comes after other institutions including the african union, and the united nations also condemned the armies latest power grab. now over the years, eco s members have established a free trade area created into regional transport length and have co operated on
6:18 pm
