if you were asleep i was paying for and now i asked them when generation now on the team to ministry is kind of funny. feels like they're the this is dw news live from berlin and 91 not call slammed the opposition for toppling the government. french president accuses the political extremes of working together to cause chaos should be brought down, his prime minister and a no confidence vote. also coming up, syrian insurgents enter, hama, after pushing on government forces, pressure mounts on president, also out as ripples rapidly sees territory. the,

i'm mean he says, welcome french president and manuel my call has given a defiant television to address the day after his prime minister. last historic know, confidence vote. nicole said he would a point in new premier within days and vowed to serve out the rest of his term. he blamed the far right in the far left for toppling the minority government. the presidency manual met, crowns of france has no prime minister. it has no government, no budget for 2025, which starts in less than a monte. cronum told the french people who don't blame him, is witnessed whom i will never assume the responsibility of others. and in particular of the parliamentarians who consciously chose to bring down the budget and the government for a few days before christmas. if it denied many on the streets of paris and 200 other french cities and towns begs to differ civil servants late into the former governments. 2025 budget plan meant to rein in

a growing deficit with spending cuts and tax increases. everyone needs to take responsibility to the release of the main person responsible for what's happening to us. so i'm very happy about what's happening to him. yes, to realize that he's not the only boss in front. of course we're all managing fronts together. the deficits and inflation that the government itself provokes. now, we are asking civil 7 send to people generally to soak up to death. and that's just not possible. demonstrators expect present it to the crone to nominate another right, meaning government or keeping up their push for more investment in the public sector . they know that this women's commission marie left of the far right national rally party probably has more say than anyone in the next budget. she was unimpressed with center as president backgrounds, less choice to lead his government the right leading michelle barn. yeah, pretty cheap. you for we have to look at what people do and not just look at their label by saying he's right wing. so i just think he does

a good phone. know everything he does has not been good. yeah, most likely the whole thing, not chrome says live has national rally. lawmakers voted against even their own platform in the bunch of debates sufficiently home simply by doing so. they chose chaos, and that's the only project they share with the radical left along this with the support of the rest of the less between the lines for me not to do, but to undo to rick, have a maple, they say for credit is all the french media have reported mat crowns, next. prime minister will likely come from a short list of centrist candidates who might appeal to both sides of the political spectrum. he'll reveal his choice in coming days. rebel forces in syria have captured the city of hama. it's a major victory for the coalition of anti government forces, as they advance rapidly across the country. the loss of hama as a massive blow to president bush charl, also for almost 14 years of civil war. as

a position site is into the city and city of how much after 3 days of intense fighting, the groups lead a size that here to clean up a 40 year old roomed the city, an army says it's redeployed its forces from the city to the outskirts in order to protect civilian lives, it's another blow to president bush out on the sides, hama is one of the few major cities outside the capital to remain on the full government to control. it's about the nearly 14 years of serious civil war. it's capture comes just days of to is the mr. rebels rested to control overlapping the country. second city from government forces. many previous the display civilians are overjoyed at being able to attend to the city of to more than a decade away. as part of the joy as indescribable words

cannot describe how unhappy we are. it's such an incredible feeling. after all this time we returned to a level smelt the sentinel level and walk through it, streets the streets. we could never forget into that, had we have a semblance of normality as returns to the streets since the rebels takeover thoughts that have been report so shortages of essential goods and services and trash piling up in the streets and meet the uncertainty for the south. hum, strategically located in central syria. it's seen as crucial for assets forces to hold, to retain control of the capital damascus. it's captcha has some people in the capital concerned. definitely. everybody is scared of. the atmosphere is tense and people are worried. everyone is concerned. we did not expect this to happen, but we have focus is the situation stabilizers and show line returns to the way it

was. and better off the cafeteria, a la carte, and how much the rebel offensive looks set to continue the insurgents. say that ready to head south, the homes, the country is 3rd largest city, and the next may just stop on the march to damascus. vladimir fan building. burke is a journalist based in northern iraq. he told us about the situation of ethnic kurds fleeing, fighting in neighboring syria, that they kind of thought that was inhabited by the space. curtis people from ashley and they took the style and they displaced the people and the sense of thousands of people. they were actually moved to another part of c or ne city. and the, now they are, uh, yeah, now they are the space living and it comes from top. com. and also there are reports that still 50000 people. there are preventive from leaving a northern level where the national army are still holding this. uh,

there's people there for southern guns symbols. and now some of the stories making headlines around the world. in south korea, the leader of use, the goals ruling party is calling for his presidential powers to be suspended, saying union poses a great danger. if he stays the statement suggest the party may be shifting its position in favor of impeaching the president. over his declaration of martial law, even as also under investigation for treason. iceland, outgoing government has granted permits to to willing companies until 2029. animal rights activists condemn the decision that will allow the killing of around $400.00 wales each year. iceland, norway and japan are the only countries that allow commercial wailing after many species were hunted to the brink of extinction. in the 1960s, one of the world's smallest nations has just gotten a little bigger. monaco has expanded its land mass by 3 percent with the completion

of the luxury proper development, which was inaugurated by monica. prince albert with the territory of just over to square kilometers. monica was the world's 2nd small state after the vatican. let's go look at the georgias prime minister rock lea cobra kids. they just threatened to completely eliminate the country's political opposition. use protesters of what he called liberal fascism. a term echoing language used by russia. demonstrators have taken to the streets mightily for over a week. angry about the pro russian government sufficient to suspend talks on joining the european union or after years of negotiations, a mass of trade agreement between the you and the south american miracle sewer block appears close to the finish line. you commission president, was the funder line, arrived and worldwide this week for final talks, the deal would create a huge new transatlantic market. but there has been oppositions and objections in the you,

especially from farmers. the trade agreement has always been controversial in europe, and especially in france. french farmers have been protesting for weeks, fearing they could be overrun and under cut by agriculture imports from a south america. if the america sword deal were to be enacted, france of course, cannot single handedly hold the deal. but now poland has also said it won't sign the current draft. next to it comprises argentina, olivia, brazil, park. why? and oral quite mentors with us. membership is currently suspended. the blocks joins economic product since it's 3 trillion us dollars. the 27 countries into europe in union, at up to 18 trillion. altogether the macro, see what the, what impact 770000000 people. the you and the south american block have been talking for a quarter century. meanwhile,

china has massive increased its own trait with macro sewer. now the pressure is on the youtube finally, at the situation. the successor baited as donald trump will become us president and the you will need to strengthen its own partnerships in the face of blooming us terrace. the current draft of the you mark a sewer deal calls to 90 percent of terrace between the 2 sides to be dropped. that would include terrorists and agriculture products like meat and story, but also car parts that are being sent to the you from south america. as well as cars machines and chemicals being sold from the you into a mattress sewer is still among the voices protesting the deal, or environmental as they warn themselves, america's industry, which is not generally seen a sustainable and puts prophets over the protection of the rain forest. could be fired up and to talk more about this, i'm joined in the studio by the reporter jewels gisler. you've reported from south

america for us. can you tell us there's a lot of countries involved in this? this is massive economies. so what is that stage here? i think what is really important here to begin with is that if this deal finally will be rectified, we're talking about one of the biggest free trade zones, creates it. that would cover a market of almost 10 percent of the world's population. so this, this method, if we look now at the benefits that would have 4 different regions. let's start with the macros 4 countries. so one what we see if they could import export mates and grain and imported into the year with like lower trade barriers. something that has been criticized that we just had and we put from your pin farmers because they say that cannot compete with the prices. because of low enough environmental standards and or if we look now at all the criticism aside from the but if we look at what is that he actually gaining from it or could be gaining from it. we do have we industries that what kind of automobile industry,

it's the kind of car industry and that's the fall of my industry. but above all, it is important to notice that for the year, what is really at stake is to access to all materials that would be crucial for the green energy transition like lithium that is used in the creation of electric call activities and option tina is the 3rd, a holes, the 3rd largest reserves of the world. so this comes at a time when president trump is coming back into the white house in the us. and she's taking a very different approach from imposing parents on or threatening terrace on a lot of countries. and that's basically the opposite of what you is trying to achieve here, right? absolutely. and it's exactly trans protectionism on the one hand. and then china looming trade, who would be you? and the other hand, that is the kind of pushing towards that move or kind of creates a certain urgency now to finally seo this deal of to 25 years into making. so this

is one thing, but then on the other hand, also south america, a china thrown in south america is really important here because we do see that china is south americans because trading partner and we see that chinese firms are constantly the input of chinese firms. are constantly growing on the continent so that even experts saying that if the union does not see this deal, now it would push south america close to china when it comes to trade. okay, well joe ski sir dw porter, thanks for talking with in japan is celebrating the addition of saki to us goes world heritage list. you an agency voted to recognize the alcoholic drink as intangible cultural heritage. japanese saki brewers are hoping, hoping that the designation will help revive declining sales. this smooth of rice wine has been viewed as a sacred gift from deities and it's been an integral part of depends culture for centuries. originally it was even believed to ward off evil spirits. now,

unesco has decided to register japan's traditional knowledge and skills for making saki and it's intangible cultural heritage list. traditional sucky brewing is an ancient technique for, for mentoring. a mixture of rice used in the colorful mould known as koji. the entire process of steaming, stirring, fermenting and pressing can be grueling, and it takes several weeks. the technique requires great skill and experience as it involves carefully controlling temperature and humidity to ensure the desired taste and quality. the end results can be served hot or cold or at room temperature. saki plays a significant role in japanese society and tradition. it's often served during ceremonies and special occasions,

but demand for the drink has been declining in japan, even as international demand for crews. saki producers hope eunice coast recognition will boost their exports and reinvigorate and susie as and for the beverage at home. so you're watching dw news, don't go away, the prices got issues with a lot say what grade the dw, so one pixel we in fact, every day, the world wide web for free. or just

because we can take the different w call in the world and also your info is and all the input your w started now on to the of to decades of car century planning. brisbin australia is upgrading. it's public transport. it's putting a new kind of trackless tram on the road and tunneling, a new train line under the river. will it convince people to finally get out of their cars and categories been fixed? it's transit in time for the olympic games. the i am obsessed with public transport. it is essential to cleaning and greeting cities. everywhere i go, i'd say trains buses, trams and fairies to get to know

a city. and it's people. i'm looking for ideas that other locations can coffee and mistakes that they should avoid. welcome to brisbin, also increasingly known by its indigenous name, me engines. it's a sub tropical city with close to 3000000 residents across its extended region. if you haven't heard much about the city yet, you will see because in 2032, it will host the olympic and power olympic games and it's public transport system will be vital to getting people to it stadiums. but today, the city is dominated by cars. governments have invested usually in a network of underground highways, but comparatively little in other forms of transit. the results experts now rate brisbin as one of the worst cities in australia for public transport. while its roads keep getting busy. the place is becoming pretty low. they get the right to

jason's getting worse and worse drivers can waist around 60 hours each here and take out the traffic according to the royal goals and will be a club of queensland, pe tower on some right. some, some of the ways we do have congestion and some of that is changing. we have strong population growth and all we have total enterprise construction activity grades of bruce veney is the fastest growing region industry the. the population is expected to double by 2015 and all those new residents are bringing more vehicles. even car drive is a colleague of better boston train systems. if you're a buddy taurus, the best way of getting your congestion is to have the person who would have been in the context. you might have choice to use public transport. paul, to ride the bus is brisbin, gets around 79 percent of journeys are made in private vehicles and only 10 percent

by public transport. the vast majority of public transport journeys, 68 percent a made by bus about one stood by the train and a small number by fairy brisbin once had a substantial tram network which carried more passengers than old modes of public transport due today. but during the 19 sixty's car craze, and after a big fire at a depot, the trams were scrapped. these remaining trucks are simply historical. today, brisbin public transport system runs mostly on buses. as a fleet of a $1200.00 buses, both standard and biotech delays and also known as vending or phenomena. but the vast majority run on diesel and gas on the a handful of electric, some scenic routes run across the iconic story bridge with kind of ironic views of the city skyline. now my favorite thing about the buses is the politeness of most

passengers listen to how they strike the driver when they're disembarking. the bus system received a major upgrade. and at 2 decades ago, when the city built a rapid bus trans at, for adult with separated high speed bus, white transport experts say the bus waste. one thing brisbin got right. brisbin bus system works just fine. you can leave on one of the high speed bus white station. but for river ultimate city need a lot of patients. some roots run early every half hour or every hour. that makes it really hard to find a journey. that heavy train system is a radio network with several lines, bringing passengers from across the region into brisbin city center trains carry about a 3rd of all public transport uses. but that's only around free for certain things . total john, there are 10 lines including one to the airport. some lines offer fantastic to use,

like a regional trains running north, which cost right below the volt tenant cord, of the magazine gloss house, mountains. but most people don't live near a train station. there's no circle one connecting the outer district and many services run infrequently according to public transport advocates robust dow that leave some passengers feeling. first, the round network is characterized by low frequency, particularly as you move out of the in a cool. now that makes it very difficult to use it. typically when it's connected to by low frequency pass surfaces and connections become a not man. and it's not unusual, but they left the white house in there. now, you've got a guy, the lego club has a day of while you're waiting for the tri as the train network is constrained, 5 bottleneck added score. this royal bridge is the only trained connection over the brisbin river. but that same natural barrier is put to use for fairies.

there are several water born root traversing the river, connecting to parks, museums, and universities. the big chasm miranda called for the cat to little boats. i called to the cat fairies only carry around 3 percent of public transport passengers. but they're very popular, especially with visits. it is my favorite form of public transport in prison to ferry. you get to see all the important sites on the river. and many of the services are free for the paid city cat services ticketing works just like on buses and trains to tag on and off with a tough couple transit costs for any credit cards. then just enjoy the ride bus upgrades are coming north least because brisbin has been named host city of the

2032 olympics and power olympic games. the main ceremonies will be held at an expanded stadium as well and gab, just across the river from the city center to reach the stadium and result that problem. attic single bridge bottleneck work is underway. on the new cross river rail, wind to massive boring machines have dug twin 5.9 kilometers tunnels. now for new stations and being fitted out and are expected to open up to 2025. but i couldn't wait that long to have a look across the river rail team, letting me take a tour of the under construction will and gather station the main stadium. the engineers here took lessons from other major tunneling projects around the world. one of the fortunate things we've had here in prison is

we find entirely enrolled some of the other projects around the world, whether we're in hong kong or maybe in london, they've had to deal with fly and fans. and in terms of ground support, yes, it's hard to hold up to apply that it is to talk about how that rope which has a natural tendency to hold other loadings off from press. raleigh london is probably one of the more advanced mode and technological on demand realized. and so we have learning the lessons around the platforms, trained on integration signaling systems and building those lessons across the river. out a new european training control system will allow trains to run at higher frequencies. some say this rail tunnel should have been built decades ago, but blanket train, it's better late than never where it's been. it has another fascinating transport development in the what they're calling it. the metro,

the most contentious thing about the metro is its name. it isn't an underground train line or subway these electric vehicles to apply. the switch company has looked like a tramp bus. they run on rubber wheels. some cold is a type of trackless trend. other say, it's a glorified bus. whatever they're called, the vehicles will run down prisons existing bus way at peak frequencies of 5 minutes. so why didn't brisbin just build a tram? now system itself has the benefit that the for structures. so i, we have, i extensive, a bus bus y system, which is dedicated purely for the use of the public transport bus operations. if the infrastructure is there and can be repaired at 1st, it's a far more cost effective. so listen to reintroduce a rubber tod vehicle with its charging system, then it is to introduce a lot rouse system. the next step up in the, in the public transport capacity high rock to the metro's battery electric vehicles

can carry around 170 pass engines. that's about as many as an articulated or bendy boxed light rail can handle around 300 passengers. a power train and light rail was considered here, but the bus was still needs to accommodate regular buses. so full conversion to steel trucks wasn't possible. the trend fans may be disappointed. more cities around the world, a likely to select this kind of system due to its low cost and flexibility. transport advocate rubbing to dow sees it as a hospitalization di things brisbin needs a real metro. now this vision match i planted, as i said on the temporary thinking market, so it's not going to work for that long. the market is up to the olympics, maybe not. but it really start taking about some serious trial capacity in the unit . ringback in prison and we talk waco in south weiss,

he thinks brisbin could triple its current public transport journey share of 10 percent with a single integrated transit authority, more rapid services, and better costs connections to the train stations. i think we can get to 3040 percent if we do what we need to do, right. and we got to have to do it. we can keep using cost in the why that would be using to allow that size to happen. we've got to get the public transport network, right, which gets back to having a proper authority, doing the things that are assigned to mental frequent i did. it says the goal, it's simple, is that it's low frequency buses and distant train stations. you can really understand why people infringement prefer to get around by car. the upgrade is coming in tons of the olympics like the track was tram and the underground train lines will help visitors get around without

a problem. but residents will be hurting that. those kind of expansion re projects work and which again, transport in brisbin, magine is accelerating. often decades in the slow lane. other cities trying to transition away from cars can learn from its experiments and with the olympics and paralympics on the way the world will be watching to see if chris but can get into the public transport back on track to name some more about home the abilities changing the world next time on risk. linda is turning into a business idea. the 19 year old hon over data is a calendar of bullet points and asked design to make life easier for students.

but how does it work? yeah, let me show you. made in germany next on d w. or i want to tell you something. it's a bear with me. my house, i was a shock. i never saw that this could happen to me raising awareness of h i, b and on. and we're stuck in this cycle. shane and silence. we need to break out of and i want to tell you something how to tennessee chris in 45 minutes on d w, the innovation green,

the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed. if the carriers subscribe to those channels, every friday, subscribe to plan, it's a server had an encounter with all the official intelligence. if you're a woman or a person of color, it may have been used to discriminate against you without you even knowing it could if we get to do for a loan or rude you out as a candidate for a job. but why is a discriminatory one major reason is the software has mostly being developed by and then we meet one young female entrepreneur from malaysia. he thinks that should change the whole. so i made this week i see.
