begin hearing evidence against 4 men accused of shooting down the laser line, slide them age. 17 families braced things here. harrowing testimony about their loved ones that 70 years ago. and as india emerging from a devastating 2nd wave of the pandemic, the capital deli protests to unlock, 50 officials say it's time to get the economy back on trucks. plus, is it a sign of things to come? germany beat portugal to win the european on the $21.00 track as well. that's it says no rub off on the senior team ahead of the heroes starting this week. ah i'm going to have it says welcome to the program. the far right has failed to redraw germany's political map and under michael's const,
2:02 pm
of it has have comfortably seen off the challenge from the alternative for germany in the eastern state of saxony, unheard the chance with party, the cd you one more than a 3rd of that vote be f t last votes, but remains the 2nd biggest party in the state parliament followed by the less party, the social democrats, the business friendly, free democrats, and the greens as ballot was closely watched as it was the last test of public opinion before september is national elections for months in the polls to parties, the breathing down each other's next here in the east, in german date of stack to me on house, in the endo, a resounding unexpectedly strong wind for the conservative fee to you and nothing close to an upset from the far right alternatives for germany, a f d i was just on lots of devices, have taken a clear stand logo and a large majority of our citizens have said, we don't want to be associated in any way with the 3 and
2:03 pm
a half. and i'm very grateful for the recipient done on many here in saxony, on how to relatively poor estate to t i f. t could when and would, when it pulled strongly from month capitalizing on voted dissatisfaction with the pandemic while keeping to its core and to you migration message. instead, sundays result indicate the f. d, a may be weakening and it's strong hold areas, but it's putting a positive spin on the result of them as it is not bad. we're very happy with the result. it's pretty much what we got last time and i have to say it's important to me that we got the working class back to left part. he has lost voters and the work is in this day came to us and i'm actually very happy with this result. even though sex to me on how he's a small side to see, to use when here is a much needed boost to federal leader. and last he's got
2:04 pm
a lot on his place. like sending off the challenge nationally from the green sea. we're riding high in palm. if he succeeds lash, it's done the greatest chance of winning the biggest prize. replacing uncle michael as chancellor. so what can we learn from this regional election for the upcoming february election? that's just 3 months away. find out i'm joined by pops example. he's a member of the german parliament for johnson medical c d u party. this is in for your party managed to defeat the far right after the insects, and also have kept the greens as bay you think you can pull that off in september again? i think so, but 1st of all, we have to see that it's a good result for the c d u, it's a good result for the democratic voters, a hope it's the end of the discussion. if there is a difference between the new states in germany and the old states, we had some discussion than the last days. and in the end, you can see our voters of voting democratic parties. and in the end, it will be
2:05 pm
a boost also for the cdo from the conservative party for the federal elections. i think. but the problem though is many seem to have turned to your party just to avoid the victory of the far right. not necessarily because they like to see the you so much i think we have a very good premier minister in the non out. that's a very strong leader of the party in this state. so that's one reason. another reason is of course not to have a strong, ultra right and strong ultra left. so the voters voted to democratic parties. and i think in the end, we have a clear resolved altogether for democratic parties. and i think this will be something that we will see on the federal level, strong conservative party view and sees you not so strong. green's as a lot of people expect. and the ultra right and left parties won't be so strong and expected. but you said one decisive factor, in fact, the was the popularity of your p. m, and that stays on
2:06 pm
a house love at the national level though an opinion pull from this weekend shows that your kind of for chances are in lasha trails behind the social democrats and the greens kind of the how are you going to win with a decidedly unpopular candidate i think 1st of all, this will change. i think, i mean i had made several very good decisions in the last time. this will give him a boost also as a leader also see you as a whole party. he was very present in the election campaign in the last weeks, so it will give him a good backing for the last week. and i can see the 2 other mentioned candidates. green candidate has a lot of wins against her because of many decisions for the green party made in the last time. and i can see that the social democratic party is struggling a lot. so i think also our top candidate, i mean it has a lot of thinking right now. so you think you have one in sex me out with lush?
2:07 pm
it a non in spite of lush. it that's what i think. definitely. ok. word on the greens that seem to seem to be your part, his biggest rival now in a national level, do you still consider them competition after the showing instructions on what of course it is. this is not 100 percent decision and election that you can compare with the federal election, of course, the greens, one of our opponents, and the political struggle. but i think the opinion pull right now, the opinion polls right now on not giving the result in some a month. i think the greens will go down. i'm very sorry for the social democratic party. they going down and down each month. so i think the greens will take the position of the social democratic party and we will win in the end, more and more voters in the next month. so it's the plan to turn even more green then for the c d. u to catch that part of the green votes. i don't think so. i
2:08 pm
think we should make our positions very clear in the next month. coalition talks will be held afterwards. now the voters want to see where is the c d u standing for? well, the greens where the social democratic stands for we should make clear our positions . and afterwards we see which, which, which parties we can go in coalition talks. but 1st, we have to make our positions very, very clear presents for that member of the german parliament for america, because christian democrats, thank you very much for your time. thank you. just in the netherlands, have begun hearing evidence against foremen who are suspected of being behind the downing of malaysia alan slide and age 17 over eastern ukraine, hearing in the murder trial has still got on the way it's being held on saddam's schiphol applewood from where am i 17 took off on its final flight 7 years ago. the

2:12 pm
a shifting policy in this file so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure of that peach look on the other hand says he doesn't care that much whether the suspects go to jail. he just wants the truth to be spoken. i think it's important that, that we know what the role of the russia if they had the role, what role of the russian federation was not only push the button, but also who was in the and responsible for all for all? what happened? so this can take years and even 7 years after mh 17 crashed, he's determined to see this through until the ent, a circle of not some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. russian position figure alexandra vonnie has been discharged from a prison hospital and returned to jail. and i've only seen here and cause i was hospitalized in april officer going on hunger strike. he is serving 2 of years for

2:17 pm
the shortage oxygen liquid medical, oxygen and what the government you're done to supply that the government had done everything to get drunk, lifesaving equipment, and all that was needed to be thrown upon damage to oversee the red. no not wanted to address the nation was based on vaccination what india were doing to back and they did speak when you trade in doing scientists. and now that is the 21st of june . the central government is going to give a vaccine 3 off off to all india, to vaccinate everyone over the age of 18. and that's the contentious issues because going back to the big game. but in essence, one of the things that she has addressed was to want to the critic who said the government was, was completely unprepared by the 2nd week at the same time address to his supportive, to show that name that will be very much in charge. his government has planned and it would defeat the girl in a by so was actually open then in delhi at the moment. will as of today,
2:18 pm
as well as the seeds reopening of daddy, you will have shopping center more to key off neighborhood markets which is opened up, but not fully. partially driving offices have been allowed to operate again. and then as you mentioned, the metro, which is very crucial, we're trying to get to work as we open to the public at 50 percent capacity. so you see all these measure it, there's a sense of opening up a portion of the message being over the domain on god. well, india is, of course, one of the hardest hit nations in this pandemic do these opening steps come as a surprise. now, not in the surprises some amount of relief again, because it knocked on was they don't in the hot. but there's also some apprehension that you said because india is mute still be hit by the 2nd wave. not ideal opening
2:19 pm
up. it's based on the federal truck to the speed get to decide when and how much they want to use the lockdown based on the individual situation. so you haven't, you've been locked down in some sequence back to some states where the infection rate warning, for example, in denny. but again, the keeping very much in mind that the numbers must be good. the number one must be, know they'd be the number of infections nations a test carried up, but as a sign of the apprehension the market opening day, hardly any people out on the street. so there is a dentist wanted to achieve. thank you. he was with the w news still to come rowing to tokyo. he eggs out iranian county was getting ready to feed on the refugee olympic team on this training base in germany. first some soccer germany have won the mens on the 21 a year,
2:20 pm
a p and football championship. bay b portugal, one mill in the final in slovenia because met sharp grabbed the goal early in the 2nd half. germany's 3rd continental triumph under $21.00 level puts down a markup for the senior side. with the euro's starting on friday. for me on that when i joined by jonathan gray from the w sport, jonathan, germany under 21, was considered the favorites for the told him. and so how did they manage to pull this off the back going really is it for team that wasn't necessarily expecting to even exit the group stage or we've heard in the pasta. the code stephan comes has been quite critical about some of the players coming through. he's been for about 70 players. and the last 2 years he's tried to fine tune his score. a score features no player from by a munich bruce, you don't mean to be like the best teams in the country. but what they do have is a sense of togetherness, and unity and that really strong through i think in this tournament,
2:21 pm
an incredible story ready to match when a lucas matcher. he used to play for england, believe it or not, he grew up there even played at this level for england before we switched allegiance to germany. i think english will probably be kicking us out. they've let him go. i think now the big test for jeremy is having these plays transition to the senior side. that's something that's gone wrong in the past. when the last one this tournament in 2017, only one of the players says not very then made it through the senior sized for this upcoming years on them. and so it's all about the senior side. they are playing that final year was warm up against a lot via tonight. what can we expect that we would expect or when that there are any rank 138 in the world? jenny day 12 with an automated thing by german standards. i think it will be important for them to get away and just to have some a mention and a bit of confidence going into the tournament as costa mines back a few years ago. 2018 before the. well, captain russia, they had some, dia, performance isn't the friendliest before that tournament. and then of course,
2:22 pm
they crashed out. i think more than anything year the lab will be hoping his side keep a clean sheet. defense really has been where the problems out there, if they can, you know, not, can see that goal. i think that will give them a big confidence based going into the tournament. that's what germany's kept model or not. and he'll become the 1st germany goalkeeper to reach $100.00 caps tonight. he's 35 years old though. how much longer with the sticker on what he's always said, as long as he's feeling up threat as long as his body. i let him keep going. then he will as long as he keeps enjoying the game, but have been some room as last year when the torment reschedule to take place last year. maybe it would be his last international tournament and that he to see the way for montgomery to stay going to come in to replace him, but really to see me on think about it as a germany team without manuel noah. he's been there for more than a decade and an incredible achievement to, to be the 1st go, keep it to get to a 100 caps when you think of the co, keith is germany. you've had in the past that maya all of a con. that achievement is something that he is very aware of himself. for me,
2:23 pm
he is very me all the number because we're a national team which always had great goalkeepers of the legend was still between the poses picked middle again the station in 1st and stun and the fact that i'm approaching the 100 mark makes me extremely proud and therefore i'm really looking forward to it, but it's not to do this on that. you feel like the enthusiasm still shines through there and who knows, maybe if jimmy do, when the earliest and perhaps that would encourage him to carry on. he still got a long way to go those to break the overall reco. that is a 150 caps held by low thomas, have 50 shorts of that number that thank you very much. jonathan crane, the w sports. you're welcome. stay on the subject of spain. will be without that captain, for at least that 1st match of the years of the tested positive for covert 19 said
2:24 pm
joe bus kits will now have to isolate for 10 days ruling and out of his country's euro twins, it's going to open up again sweden on june 14, the rest of the spain score tested negative for the virus but they won't now play. 3 in want was meant to be the final warm up match against the way and yeah, tomorrow spends on the 21 team will take their place instead. now almost $8000.00 athletes have already qualified for the tokyo olympics. just in real 2016. there will also be a special team in tokyo, the refugee olympic team, $56.00 i o. c. scholarship holders hope to participate in the olympics. one of them is iranian refugee, said fuzz luna. iranian sage fund lula has one goal firmly in focus to compete in tokyo as a member of the refugee olympic team. the reserves would be very
2:25 pm
proud and the life of a refugee isn't easy. a lot of people don't know that, you know, in 2015. so you escaped from iran via the balkans, fearing for his life during the world canoe sprint championships, he took a selfie in front of them, a land cathedral. the iranian regime accused him of having converted to christianity, which carries a death sentence. he found a new home in cause who are. he's devoted the past 17 years of his life to competitive sports. after he settled in germany, kayaking remained his top priority. everything in one like this. we have for training sessions a day from monday through saturday. each one is $1.00 to $1.00 and a half hours. we always have a half day off on wednesdays. we always have fitness, training, running and pedal sessions. cough cleaning loudon on hope. so you'd fuzz lula, has found a friend in the $996.00 olympic clinic champion deadline hoffman. he's day f s i. e

2:29 pm
dw. oh, the news sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge of gross through sharing, download it now for the whole field jewish life. that's what from the producer
2:30 pm
owner and journalist these are delving into history present because i would never have thought that could be live so and so i am jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d, w. the the food is the fuel of our existence, nearly a 1000000000 of us on the planet to be and each of us need food every day. by the way, we get food has been problematic for the last many decades. industrial food production
2:31 pm
go to option, has a severely negative impact on our environment. how can we course corrected now so that our future generations don't go hungry? that's what we talk about today. hello, welcome to eco india on some let's stop to the show in west wing goal here of food production is not just about feeding the population. it's also about giving ruined women. a pop out of for lack of education has often held women back, but a local organization is empowering them to set up their order mostly businesses. let's see how the the life is hard for 21 year old regina. how good it is for the most of the women and this grew up for married young and forced to turn their backs on the education even if my father's income was low. so i wasn't able to
2:32 pm
study beyond class 9, but didn't have all sisters. but our father's income wasn't enough to support us all about them. that's 5 either or married on it. is it the women here in the rest been gone? are responsible for the house and the church. they're financially dependent on their husband. when money is tight, the funds from private credit for like me, just like for my b b, she used to reading jewelry as collateral. all really, she never wanted to borrow money into kovalevsky loads. and when i was in a tough financial situation, i did pawn off my jewelry and haven't been able to release it. we've also heard other people around us pond off the jewelry and gold, but haven't yet been able to buy back either. how are you going to wonder how the
2:33 pm
fight in that it is a white strict problem in this region? save of the nothing he set up the 0 foundation which is trying to help improve them and live in chuck the especially women. then they usually give women law and not men. however, the women are mostly and educated and don't know how much they have been loaned, or how much they need to pay. because they have not been educated. they aren't able to calculate properly or do any kind of accounting department. it's kind of exploitation that goes on here. probably the exploitation of the situation changed when they began to reach out to the vendor. the estimate that just $1.00 and $5.00 of them. you can read and write and that's what his organization, which is finance for natalie to donations and scientific project. zeroes in on what number i need in. so he make arrangements for their learning,
2:34 pm
but particularly big language, mathematics and english mathematics, which is going to look underneath it, look of of the 1st age is the registration and then the implement different types of income generating projects income, the national different. but if you could implement, most of these are one such projects. the 0 foundation helps the local set up self help groups. they are then able to leave land from farms. they buy fresh to prevent damage and new print loss making yields more reliable. this way, they can also avoid using pesticides in contrast to bigger nurseries in the region . road you know how to now work. in addition to her normal housework, to boost the bend before i started the nursery. we didn't know much about gardening and how to grow the plans. there was another nursery next to us, so we put back to it and thought ourselves how to care for the plant. 50. the women's groups financing activity to micro credit loans from
2:35 pm
a cooperative bank in the region of the letters foundation helps them gain access to legitimate fun financial transition. deaf financial transactions are quite transparent, savings, bank banking, and loans done to the cooperative department through corporate deployment for ruder . this is a better method. plus they won't need external funds betterment that the government already has a lot of funds that we can use here on monday. and they're going to we don't need money from external agency and fund like doesn't it? so seedlings of different varieties, of course, are in the, in june. lemme cochran and mag, oh, then the sound, the young plans to the bigger local iraq as well. you will income stream to their family. as one back,
2:36 pm
i've been able to construct a concrete house with the proper roof gate rules in the window and a bathroom. i've also been able to buy my son's textbooks on time and enroll him in a private but i will be the g. truckload village is located in the brahman, delta sediment deposit left in the river tributary makes the soil sufficient for the climate change is making particularly vulnerable to storm, which are increasing in strength. i cycle on last year had a very serious impact for a coup. few, this is true, i'm friends. echo and i'm fun. was a serious problem and has badly damaged the land and plant blinds were on the 0 foundation donated 200000 rupees around 2200 euros to help with the destruction and future. the women will dig channels between the seedlings to avoid water damage during heavy rain.
2:37 pm
more than $300.00 women in the region belong to a total of 9 self help groups. it might have added to their workload, but owning their own living in the nurseries makes them proud and more independent . as we just saw, the local organic food production that's helping women find their freedom is the exception rather than the default, which is a consistent dependence on industrialized food production has massively decreased the genetic diversity of land crops. genetic would ensure that our planet, as a whole, tribes can feed bags help and bringing back some of the diversity. let's find out how the earth produces a rich variety of plants adapted to wide range. inhabitants around the globe.
2:38 pm
there are around 400000 species known to science. less than 10 percent are edible corn, rice, and we account for more than half the global food supply me ever since humans began adopting a sedentary lifestyle. they've collected seems to plant the 1st crops who are cultivated over 10000 years ago by farmers in mesopotamia. now modern day iraq and turkey. some $200000.00 varieties of we alone have developed from the early stock having a wide range of crops and genetic diversity within each for variety helps to secure our food supply. lose the greater diversity, the smaller the risk of wheat, or some other staple being wiped out worldwide by a single pest or disease. that's why c,
2:39 pm
banks are so important by the oldest, is in st. petersburg and dates back to 894. today the seed bank and gardens labor and germany boasts one of the world's most diverse collections. many of the seeds stored here are found nowhere else. these are the fees for the large seed archives have now been established all over the world. mm. they each collect the various scenes and plans from different regions. many are then stored at the local sieboldt on the norwegian island of spits berrigan. but out in the fields, the trend is towards less diversity. during the 20th century alone, an estimated 75 percent of crop diversity was lost. according to the un food and agriculture organization. the reasons are many and varied. the industrialization of agriculture med crop suddenly had to fulfill different requirements. they have to produce a high yield, all right,
2:40 pm
then at the same time and not suffer damage when being harvested by heavy machinery . our modern globalized trade network means fruit and vegetables now need to stay fresh while being transported over long distances. very few varieties can live up to those demands. the range of produce in our supermarkets is deceiving, the tomatoes and cucumbers may look different, but genetically they're very similar. this genetic poverty is not without risk. in the 1970s, for example, a virus destroyed one quarter of the rice harvest across the whole of asia. it was only through cross breeding the rice, with a wild variety that the crop became resistant to the virus. thus rescuing the world single most important food staple for thousands of years, farmers have collected their own seeds and swapped them amongst themselves to
2:41 pm
improve their harvest and develop new varieties. but in recent decades, a steadily declining number of seed companies has been selling an increasingly limited range of sorts. 95 percent of cabbage varieties, for example, have already disappeared. the companies designed their own crops and secure them with a patent. they supply 2 thirds of the global market. often farmers are unable to collect feeds and are required to buy certain fertilizers and pesticides. but a growing number of people worldwide are seeking to reverse this trend by increasing crop diversity and distributing seeds without patents. a nonprofit organization in austria called asha noah or noah's ark, collect seeds of old endangered varieties it prop against the scenes, and then passes them onto a supermarket chain which sells both the seeds and their produce.
2:42 pm
