they invade our private lives to surveillance. hidden, secretive, what's true, what's vague? it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what we'll hook people. we shed light on the opaque world. who's behind the benefits. and why are they a threat to whistle o peak wolf starts january 5th on d, w. ah ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe and most people here in europe share just one which during what is normally the festive season,

that somehow the covey pandemic can be overcome. instead, what we're witnessing is the worrying spread of the aggressive army. kron variant will. meanwhile, in southern europe, countries like portugal and spain have come up with large scale campaigns, starting in the summer vacations to combat the spread of the virus. early on children have been included and it made a real difference. well, vaccination rates in italy are also significantly higher than for instance in many countries in central and eastern europe. and one place doing particularly well is paulette. so adriano in sicily with the horrors of the 1st wave of covert still fresh in their minds, the entire adult population of the small town has signed up for a vaccination program that's been taking place in a very special location. moving

a small miracle has once again been achieved by the sicilian village of palazzo adriano. 30 years ago, the town square was made world famous by the movie cheenam are part of the so and now the township at the foot of their monte dela rosa has again managed the extraordinary in their fight against the corona virus. they still remember the fear they felt during the 1st wave. senora mima recalls watching footage of military trucks transporting, piled up coffins out of bare guerrmo in northern italy. people here wanted to prevent something like that happening in their own town at all costs. and now i would abode at elvita, said that k w that is dying only when we know that we were scared of the virus. we're now in brain cell multiple manenda. in the beginning, we thought it was a type of a severe lib liberal law. the summer will look like it will, she will then she doesn't. what we saw on television lighthouse tag told us that it was something that we will it altogether different, but we abdomen the cell and the entire village had the same thought. and theory

that vaccinate toilet that cannot say yes in this hardware store, every one has to wear a mask. mima wants to do all she can to protect against the new ami kron variant. know c, a just so go see a bit k. yes. and it's the right thing to do. i'll tell you how to protect yourself, just like you have to protect others. when i say we are vaccinated it still, you have to be careful that tonight the, the beer must say a thing that in fact, palazzo adriano has a vaccination rate. other european cities can only dream of going by official statistics. a 104 percent of the population are vaccinated. mm. that statistical quirk isn't a cinematic fantasy. but due to the fact that the figure includes visitors who were vaccinated right here in the chin him up at a d. so museum, which just happens to be housed in the town halls, largest room equates so in will,

so that she them up early. so this is the chima paddy. so museum. yeah, the film is still importantly, was allows to win. so locating our vaccination center here was common sense about also about a sense of community that's the only and since all the buttons and so against a backdrop of movie posters. 3 major vaccination campaigns were held here for the met a well functioning vaccination campaign is about more than numbers o g l. but sheila, elizabeth and these times vaccination means freedom. you're provided to us by the government eventually, but it's about freedom for every way media. and i'm sorry that vaccination opponents don't understand that there's also a lot of democracy and the lack seems, kiddo each latino shale of them will. garcia. ha, and there's a lot of hope to the infection right here has being close to 0 thanks to the measures taken which is important also because as in much of rule,

cecily and above average number of elderly people live in palazzo adriano, such as ceo to me mas, 88 year old father. here doctor, for county, is vaccinating him against influenza. his 3rd covered shot will follow as soon as the vaccine is available. again, it's not what he may see a no, no, no, no, no. we haven't had, it has a case here in town to several months. say we need no, not yet. oh boardwalk, a bottle. and if anyone got infected somewhere, i stuck it on isaac, off. they at least didn't require intensive therapy was special medication and they had a bit of a sore throat of fever and a speedy recovery. and that suddenly down to the success of explanation, different back to you, not just, i don't that long and that evening mima and her husband invite friends to the house for dinner. they plan to once again, watch their own local cold film chima parody. so back in the day me,

my husband helped build the set on the piazza. they all know the dialogue by heart little means everything to most volvo. it's the hope that our town has a good future of it. so he'll move, they're proud of their town and of their corona virus response. here in palazzo adriano people stand together so that the virus doesn't stand a chance. ah, now the body of water that divides england and france is known by the french as la mosh wild people in the u. k. call it the english channel, and many migrants come to what is the narrowest part of the channel, where the hope to cross over to british shaws and start new lives. but those crossings are often deadly. which is why photographer and activist abdougla boy does all he can to persuade these desperate men women and children not to take the

risk rain or shine. abdul comes to cali's beach and scans the horizon for small boats containing refugees. they speak to people, lewis saved injuries you on from not route this year. we want to go don't have the choice. i think so. so so, so going to live with you going to the seeds me going to the did the young afghani arrived and calais 2 years ago and quickly abandoned his plans to continue to britain after his asylum application was approved in france. he found work at an aid organisation and taught himself photography. this site is where the notorious camped of the jungle once stood. some refugees still remain here illegally sleeping and flimsy tense. a so called is wendy. in reading the people i talked in, they came, they said the watch coming inside to the tent. this stretched between the freeway

and the train tracks is especially uninviting. migrants here are from afghanistan, the kurdistan region of iran and syria. it's time for breakfast, a moment of solace amidst a sea of worried, that is the number one ship. tuscany village. we meet sir rush from iran, who tells us he fled from political persecution in his homeland. he survived a harrowing boat ride on his journey to france. we were 70 full people in a 12 me to a boat on the way from greece to italy. ah, we lost those u. p. s and we lost connection and we was trying to go after big boats, cruise ships, and nobody stops for us. and one day we saw birds and we changed them to

a we got connection and got to italy. from there he travelled farther north to the french coast. the journey took longer than expected. sir. osh never imagined he would be sleeping on the ground outside during winter time. it is open this much. so bad time to be here. the place is crowded. it's filthy. at sonata, how a human should live. sir, rush has family on the other side of the channel. he's desperate to reach britain, even if it means being cold and wet. i just write out my sucks. so i, i'm staying a year. if it is possible, i cross, if it is not, i'm still saying here because i have no way back. i have to go. most migrants here know how dangerous crossing the channel is. but they see few other options. many who end up in this makeshift camp have had their asylum

applications rejected, or they think their chances are better in britain like cameron from afghanistan as the math monthly above. you're not going to put away turkey and greece to quoted people. hello. and there was no chance in bosnia and herzegovina, a serbia, or its elegant form doesn't move on. that's why i came to france and why i'm now trying to reach england. been with her again and, and i wanna, god help me. i've got to send my children money somehow, the bridge on her, but it will. it is another well, but it's far from clear what law as in store for cameron and his friends. abdul tells us people here have disappeared at night. no one knows what became of them, lost them so and feeble, who was dead in the board, and their friends still didn't know if they were actually in the boat. we don't know what's happened to them and we're dead. the budding photographer sends his photos to a newspaper. he's become a prominent chronicler of the camp,

and he also documented the fate of the kurdish hussein family who came to calais with 20 other refugees in november, only to drown in the channel. the story made international headlines that when i looked to the mother, she was worried and she knew it's difficult and she knew it's not easy. i think the kids, they believe they are lead in mucus because they were smiling in they have this happiness in their faces. i think is it was so justice with them. it went to day when i went to the beach for as things it's remind me the beach, it's them. but that the problem is, is the ignoring the data story and nothing change it and no one talking about it. abdulla can't forget the fate of the hussein family. he fears others could meet the same tragic n. and so he keeps returning to the makeshift camp. nothing changes. that's why

abdougla boy will keep scanning the horizon for bucks. now, with the panoramic sweeping across europe, many of us are thinking again about how we want to live our lives, especially in big cities like the spanish metropolis of barcelona. where once a week, a district has created dedicated routes, keeping cyclists, including children on their way to school priority over motor vehicles. initially, it seems like just an interesting idea. now, however, 4 year old liam grant is among the youngsters joining what has become a veritable movement. liam grant is preparing for a special commute to school. this friday, he won't be riding on the back of his mother's bike as usual. instead, the 4 year old, the cycling on his very own bike,

alongside dozens of other barcelona youngsters, a bike ride neither on the sidewalk or in a bike lane, but in the middle of the street believes was dumb woodshop vertical as thou, donal mia. it children love in ice, it gives them independence. or is it something different and it's new. ah, it's a little party on wheels ah, with music and applause for the kids. with a whole street to themselves, they don't have to worry about the thousands of cars that usually drive here. each friday for about one hour cars aren't allowed on to this road leading to the school . so the children can cycle in safety. parents who wanted to see a change in the neighbourhood initiated the beefy boost project to lay their their for their posse. got the idea is to freed this street from traffic and other roads to in a future. lizzie, out there are bike lane still, but it's difficult for children, especially small kids to cycle straight inside

a bike line in the near la x. on an incredibly busy i mutual spot, the nathan will class. there are many scooters on the lanes up you and some people cycle really fast back. it will be dangerous for the youngest kids again, your district city counsellor pow gonzales, supports the initiative. he's just approved another route for the beef. he bruce, lucky that marie ah, this city is a hostile place for young boys and girls, and that is but this way we open up space for the children to ride their bikes to school. that is to lead alcala. and he hopes that soon families will be able to monitor the route on their own without the help of police. meanwhile, the children are enjoying their friday adventure because we're together and we like to write our bicycles. is that lee? yes, but i mean it's great that we can cycle on the street without fear. the parents are also keen to lower c o 2 emissions, but their main focus is on making their children safer. barcelona has been

expanding, it's mike lane's network, but competing needs are taken into consideration by city officials, including those of pedestrians and motorists. gay. that garza, alice water from your home to school is already an option or that is no problem there. let me think. and now cycling is being added for school children or from we're working to improve the situation and school neighborhood when and we're adding by pan diligent, i'm just glad as you'll empty. a feel they lost carol is with the idea is to build wider, more family friendly bike lanes. clearly separated from the other traffic seekers theater. ok, the plans are promising and the city council is working on them lobby still, but it's going to take a long time until there is actual change. yes, come yes, i'm willing to until then children in barcelona will keep cycling to school on fridays with a beefy boost project. great stuff. now in the

shrinking world, in which we love those increasingly frenzied international competition for key resources, one of which is board and one place to find out her base market works is c free. ross in belgium's southern were lonia region where chinese buyers snap up local wood that goes on. so it's an annual market to then sell it back to europe and purchases with a significant markup focus a highly sought after natural resource, especially if it's one or 200 years old, like these logs to reap his own runs a sawmill in belgium. it's a 4th generation family business, but this year has left him worried about the future. oak is becoming increasingly expensive and hard to come by. elizabeth rocha wo wiggle. i still have some trees left over from last year and some from the year before the cuckoo crew are low, so we still have all it we can process now. so not only for the next 7 months or so

. and then that's it shipped. we warm up popish the planet base or his son to take over the saw mill, but now that future is uncertain. the economic situation in well lonia in general, is difficult. unemployment is high here and following the decline of heavy industry wood was the only natural resource left. now that's also under pressure. we made cop into eileen go, blay. he says that although he has plenty of clients, his business is facing trouble. he's been trying to secure as much timber as possible, but pi it bri shaleeko mont, our costs are rising. we're finishing orders where we are selling cheaper than we're buy it was going to shit. the price of wood is rising faster than we can whirl is going up. wilma fetid hubble. previously business here had been good in times of climate change. high grade would like, oak has become even more precious and even lower grade log cell. very well.

the wood from local forests get sold once a year at an auction held by the municipalities. this has always generated considerable sums. but this year, the modest civically hawes auction had a surprise in store to trade is bought 95 percent of all the wood on offer for a record some to be exported to china le dewberry reject will of a steam milled. we earned twice as much as what we had estimated earlier in the year, but which is huge as she 2nd thing comes up. the problem is that if this continues, there will be no more competition in a few years. because if record sums of money are pumped into the market, is the people and sawmills here will go bankrupt. there's no way they can compete with foreign buyers, who, especially from china, is also present italian, not a model. she china ships the logs back home to be processed, undercutting european so mills wood is a desirable commodity in china, but the government also wants to protect its remaining nature. president,

she ging ping has banned the looking of chinese forests for 99 years. ah, go minute, joshua is tish yon dunn. the chinese state has a lot of funds and it subsidize as companies to buy wood abroad because they're not supposed to cut down chinese oaks in the google at this creates unfair competition and could quickly destroy the european belgian french and german timber industry or what? oh, badge of wholesale, more global demand is thus taking over belgium's local timber markets. but china is buying up would all over europe to protect its own native forests. so what should be done? should there be a fixed quote for the european market or an export ban on unprocessed would. and should these measures only target china? off to roll demand for wood has spiked all over the world. really emmanuel def i

use is a forestry expert who offer norco. he cautions against any rash, ill considered actions live in for bah, who called on the lashing on block, we should not condemn china across the board. a ship. how much we need to recognize that for many years the china bought our low grade would and was our valuable ally, daughters. but this ally is also a threat you for if you did, we shouldn't offend china, doctor you for in fact, we should maintain good business ties. oil the cog so to speak, a month to further boost trailer on his organizer. it is a delicate matter to withhold wood from china. a resource that wants so much. so to the much did he get? it's true that chinese demand hasn't caused european forests to disappear aligned, the more shows us which trays will be exported faster supported, or law people that are often sick or damaged trees are selected in the interest of

sustainability. but occasionally a healthy tree is felt to be sold and that hurts are. yeah, both to sell them killer. sir, fern would sudak this oak is thriving again, it's going nowhere. i don't want any one cutting it down like a ship. which trees a fell than which is sped, that still decided by the people of safari, hans, or something else? value of these chips. why? well, because there is an inspiring story behind them. and because they can bake all the difference to people living on the streets of the city of bristol, in southwest england, giving them a hot drink or something decent to eat. the skin behind the chips was the idea of making our bethany hope, who wanted to do something to support the spiraling number of homeless people in her hometown while at the same time paying tribute to some one very dear to her. ah, one thing megan abernathy hope learned from her brother billy was to not just walk

by people in need. that's why she regularly sets off to bristol city center to hand out billy chips to people like laura. the chips can be used to pay for food or beverages when you get a big code late. levey going with the nase, get yourself drink and trying cable. it's a kind gesture and an opportunity to talk. i think you need a bit of courage and a bit of humanity because it's just like having a chat with anybody else. and i think that fair and worry of approaching people is what stops that love natural vaccine. and i'm happy for megan and her father john. it's also a way for them to pass on the love they had for billy who died 3 years ago in a motorcycle accident. he was only 20 years old and had just completed his training to be an ambulance driver. even as a child, billy was deeply troubled by the hardships faced by homeless people and once asked his father why he didn't distribute all of his change and billy said,

why don't they just invent a token that you could buy and then exchange for food and drink and i think he saw that that would reduce the barriers because people would know it was a safe, secure thing for vale. and then people would also, you know, communicate more with homeless people because that was something that vinny really struggled with. was it people just ignored homeless people and they sort of become invisible after billy's death, what his father and sister decided to realize that idea they developed chips that people can purchase which homeless people can then exchange for food and drinks and cafe i. all right, well yeah, good, thanks. good. just thought we come in today and chat you about the ne billy chip star to pack. we've had some are currently 52 cafes and bristol, and the surrounding area participate in the program and sell so called billy chips for homeless people place for them to come in. our feeling is that some people are

very happy to give money, but others might be a little bit conscious about, you know, how the money's being used, and knowing that it's going to towards something that will seed all those kind of sustain kind. the person that i gifting it to somebody came in that's for 10 to give away, presumably as part of their christmas giftings. so yeah, it's really popular and we have regulars who come back again and again to, to buy by chips to hand out to people. one chip costs to pounds and can be traded for at least one hot drink with an awful have changed and mostly and, and, and i think it bears something about the reassurance of how we spend, which is good as well. aid organizations estimate the number of homeless people in england has doubled in the past few years. in bristol, many people are now familiar with megan, her father, and the billy chip. right, well, can we be so anyway? yeah, they're really good get a free coffee is absolutely fly or to have

a warm drink through the cold night. if you want to v zelman freedom, why void, you need another call him money and megan and her father say one reason for the chips is that they show homeless people. they are part of the community to and that they are welcome. in cafes we poured our love that was our grief. we could no longer pour into billy and said we put into the billy chip. we created a legacy. we've in a way, immortalized a key values that billy had as a human being that we loved to buy him and that we fell. everybody should kind of hopefully take a leaf out of his book with megan and her father. think that it, billy were still alive, this project would never have come to be,

but they're certain that if he knew about the work they're doing, he'd be proud. real inspiration, that story. and if you've enjoyed the slightest edition of the show as much as i often do, join us next time round until then seasons greetings for me and the rest of the focus on your team. for now go, i buy and truce. ah ah ah ah, with

who do you like it with do you want it? ok, then buckle up,

put the pedal to the metal and let's ride with read on d w. are you ready to get a little more experience with these places in europe are smashing all the record step into a venture. just don't lose your grip. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters discover some of european wicker breaking also in book form. ah imagine being a lie, can't prove it. you want to learn, but no school. you want to be you put on allowed to. when you're sick,

the doctor's note. when you fall in love, they won't. you don't have children for fear they'll be visible to your shoe or, you know, when you die, there is no you ever every 10 in person like this in 10000000 people in the world, the state they have no nationality of tone. they don't belong and everyone has the right everyone has the right to say, michael, how long does a or an eternity time . it can be measured precisely. and yet each person experiences it differently as

if there are different forms of time time, the phenomena, a dimension and illusion. about time starts december 31st on d, w. mm. ah ah, live from berlin, this is d, w is germany, reports its 1st arm across related death. the country's top public health body says the person was one of $3000.00 confirmed cases of the new variance that is expected to become the dominant one in the new year. also ahead under pressure. as the

pandemic batters, britain, a country breaks and other covered record as cases surge to a daily high. but it's not all bad news. new studies suggest alma crohn may be less severe than delta and a combative russian president vladimir putin once reassurances that nato won't move to include ukraine in the military alliance. ah. on layla rock, thank you very much for joining us. germany has reported its 1st armored crime that related death details at this early stage are scarce. that health already say it's one of a rapidly growing number. so far, germany confirmed over 3000 infections with the new variant case, a search by a quarter in a single day. health minister carlota boss said he expects on a cron to become the dominant variance in the coming weeks. and months ago,

i spoke to a database political correspondence, i'm and young and began by asking him what more he could tell us about germany's 1st alma crohn related death. there's not much detail layla we know the age of this patient, the age range, any way between 60 and 79 years of age. we don't know the agenda. and the data also doesn't really make it clear if this was a case or a suspected on the chrome case, or whether it was certainly shown to be present. so pcr test was done, but it may not have been the virus may not have been actually sequenced. but it was what we can say is that this patient died while suspected to have on the crone. and as you said, the number of micro cases in germany is rising every day. it's just 25 percent

within the last day. and the authorities are bracing from across to become the dominant variant. of course, of also being today as some announcements about studies about how dangerous omi chrome might be. and indeed some encouraging suggestions that it might be slightly mild at leading to few hospitalizations. that's going to be really important. as the government tries to protect the health care system, but certainly this 1st on, the kron death suspected here in germany, does show that even on the cone, of course, can be a very dangerous. and simon, how do all these developments that you've just been reporting on? do they impact all the decision by the government to implement measures after christmas? well, those, those measures the tie thing of measures across germany. it was the, the response to the expected arrival of an arm across wave. and certainly,

you know, that's the strategy that most of following. but we are seeing some divergence berlin, the city state government here in berlin has been announcing today. it's plans for large events or outdoors. it was expected that things like football matches would have to happen in front of an empty stadiums. no spectators, but berlin is saying up to 2000 people can attend events, indoors and up to 3000 outdoors they. they said they've weighed up the um, the damage to business and culture and sport. and they say that, you know, allowing a few spectators is better than effectively requiring these events to be called off entirely. right. semi ann reporting as simon is our political correspondent. thank you so much and you studies from the united kingdom suggests the

on the crown corona virus variant may in fact be milder than the previous variance like delta. but scientists say their findings must be treated with caution. hospitals could still be overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases. the news comes as the u. k. recorded more than 100000 new daily cases. for the 1st time. there's no christmas rush in london this year. the number of shoppers and tourists down dramatically on even a few weeks ago. on the crowns rapids spread an a record number of infections. keeping many people at home. britons newspapers summing up the mood but the u. case. health minister gave weary britons a glimmer of hope by announcing the purchase of millions more antiviral pills to combat, omicron alongside the booster program. these sup, pharmaceutical defenses,

you taken together are a huge new way to defend ourselves against covet. there's no need for any further restrictions before christmas. we will certainly keep the situation under review. but across the u. k. conditions very while england has reduced the number of days, people with cove would have to isolate from 10 down to 7 wales scotland. a northern ireland are introducing restrictions after christmas. what they do agree on is that vaccine boosters on reducing contacts are the best ways to reduce pressure on a health care system stretched to the brink day. so we know there's lots of cases in the community that actually people are not getting say fake, but there are still people being admitted to hospital and they are still getting very unwell data private pneumonia. and, and that's quite stressful for us to be looking after old. i think that much better now that we have more kate meant more to offer. another holiday season overshadowed by the coven, 19 pandemic. another new year on the horizon filled with uncertainty. when

is high about a more story, sir? from around the world, u. s. regulators have authorized marks pill to treat coven 19 for patients. 18 and older. it has been shown to reduce hospitalizations and death by some 30 percent at long at risk groups. marks drug is considered less effective than pfizer spelt, which was authorized on wednesday. i to say they have rescued more than 450 migrants from the southern mediterranean sea. in the past 48 hours, a group doctors so without borders said it's charity boat made several rescuers from overcrowded vessels off the libyan coast. it's now seeking permission to dock at a southern european port. belgium's government has agreed in principle to shut down the country's existing nuclear power plants by 2025. their willing coalition agreed

a compromise deal after long negotiations. but the prime minister says he may ultimately decide that some reactors should be kept open. if the countries energy security can't be guaranteed russian president vladimir putin says the west must provide guarantees that nato won't expand eastwards to include ukraine, nor deploy weapons. there is gums against the backdrop of weeks of international concern over russia's true build up on his border with ukraine. president putin was speaking at a 4 hour long news conference, in which he addressed a broad range of issues. and on the topic of ukraine, he accused the west of building up tensions. yet no one knew, we were not wanting to. these is what we were told in the 1990s. and what happened when we were duped? mad? we were brazenly jiro to the mag law. monday. there were 5 waves of nato expansion or should in another. and now these missile systems are appearing and poland,

and romania, but where you will earth. that's what we're talking about, what the human reason if you have to understand who it's not os worth right? lamb wish to live a little bit. we didn't come to the borders of the u. s. or the u. k. daniel group you came to was that was president put in speaking earlier today, like to reach out now to hire ted whittaker, for he is a green member of the european parliament and he sits on the foreign affairs committee. sir, thank you very much for your time. i don't know if he had the opportunity to listen to that sound bite that we just played from president vladimir putin. he does not see nato as a force for good for him. this is an existential threat when you listen to what he say, do you think his rhetoric is justified? the resurrect that president putin has been employing is very interesting. because he seems to imply that russia wants to reverse the developments of the

last decades. when he talks about poland and other countries being integrated into nato, it, it seems as if he wants to pursue a policy to reverse that, to change that historical result. and of course, that is not acceptable. and it's, i think it's, it's also a very, very interesting that even though the immediate pressure that he creates is against ukraine by massing troops on that border. but obviously, he is trying to pursue a policy that would divide the security of europe and effectively give russia a dominating a, controlling influence over the security of the eastern half in europe. and that is

certainly not acceptable. let's talk about a germ israel. the white house and other eastern european leaders would like to see germany take a stronger carrot and stick approach our francis with the north stream, our gas pipeline project with russia. your air party is now part of the government . and will we see that? i have just returned from a visit in washington, and my understanding indeed is that in the case that president putin won't move forward with his aggression against ukraine. nordstrom too, would indeed be on the table. but you would, but it would be a reaction to any offensive that he launched launch as well. obviously we hoped to deter him from that course of action

so that the signal lately is being done in order to prevent that sequence of a wooden events. now sir, germany has a new leader and he is very experienced at all our shots. is he likely to take a very different approach when it comes to vladimir putin than what we saw with the previous chance such as angle america? gotcha, so we'll put him in my impression is that president clinton is charging a new course and in responding to that, we also have to live up to the challenges that he is posing. so just continuing the course that had been pursued before, we'll certainly not be adequate all our neighbors and allies next day from germany that we play a reliable role. and i'm quite convinced that this government is going to do

exactly that. you want, i to write a reinhardt said the ticker for green, a member of the european, a parliamentary committee on foreign affairs. so thank you very much for your time . thank you for having me. went out to the wild waters of madagascar and an even wilder story. a government minister sent as part of a rescue team, was forced to save himself. after his helicopter crashed into the ocean, share sash, ye lay, and another passenger survived the impact. but the really remark, miraculous part was to follow when the pair swam 12 hours to reach dry land. fishermen who sit out before dawn spotted some one in the water, exhausted and still in his wet uniform, madagascar, police minister recorded a message at cooper. he didn't,

i'm alive and well. in 24 hours i can be back at work. i'm not injured, but very cold america. i'm thankful to the people of mumble for saving my life and taking care of me. money and figure. the fisherman brought the 57 year old, safely back to shore. after he spent 12 hours at sea, and others of either an air force mechanic managed to swim the entire way to the beach. the body of one of the men and the helicopter has been recovered, but the pilot remains missing and is presumed dead authority say the cause of the helicopter crash has yet to be established. the minister says something suddenly destabilize the helicopter, potentially causing it to go down sheet and username identity. little my omission was over today. we saw the accident and we were about to go home. but like all accidents, something unexpected happened in an hour helicopter may have been caught in

a gust of wind or something and fell. the helicopter was one of 2 taking pods in a search and rescue operation. after a small cargo ship sank on monday, an official said the ship was overloaded from carrying too many people. extraordinary story, but does it for us? so you're watching the that we news live from berlin. stick with this of next is business news with chelsea delaney and don't forget you can always get more news on a website. you dot com. i'm layla iraq on behalf of all of us here. thank you for giving his company called her again that i think that's hard and in the end these are me. you are not allowed to you anymore. we will send you back or you.
