other companies have suspended their solar divisions, and germay's largest roller company relies on its largest creditor to stay afloat. the european union accuses china of selling solar panels in europe the low costs. brussels introduced duties on chinese imports last month. those fees will help levelhe playing field for struggling german companies. but for many businesses, the move comes too late. >> lithuania is one of the eu's smallest and newest members. but it will be setting the agenda in brussels for the next few months. >> the country has just taken over the eu presidency and has been hosting senior european officials. >> the church bells ring a total of 28 times in lithuania's capital -- once for every country in the european union. for the next six months, lithuania will hold the eu council presidency.

>> welcome back. the late pope john paul ii is to be declared a saint by the vatican. pope francis signed the decree friday morning. >> this one is special because it is the first in history that was cowritten. >> the beatification process often takes decades, even centuries, but the late pontiff 's overwhelming popularity among the faithful surely played a role in his canonization just eight years after his death. the announcement was historic nonetheless. vatican spokesman announced that

pope francis recognized a second narrative attributed to john paul ii. that clears him for sainthood. and the late pope john xx three was also canonized. though his papacy was short- lived, he is recognized as the pontiff who brought the church into the modern age through the second vatican council of 1963, which instituted wide-ranging reforms. it was widely expected that pope francis would grant sainthood to two of his recent predecessors. official ceremonies will likely take place before the end of this year. john paul ii's canonization is based on the testimony of this costa rica woman who was miraculously cured of a brain aneurysm after her family paid to the late haunted. pope francis also took the extraordinary step of declaring sainthood for paul xxiii even though only one miracle has been

attributed to him. >> we are joined now by our religious affairs expert. tell us first of all what sort of a signal this is that is being sent to the faithful. >> what is remarkable in this is, of course, that pope john always an extremely charismatic leader, very well-known but actually quite conservative. the lesser-known john xxiii, which if you follow vatican history, you know quite well was the architect of progressivism on the vatican council. second, this is clearly a conciliatory message coming out of the vatican, these two being -- these two people being pushed for canonization at the same time. >> what were the main points? >> it was essentially a philosophical essay, a theological essay with a very strong philosophical component. it's very clear that the person who stands behind the writing, the author is someone with great academic training. we know that francis put his

name on it, but most likely this is a benedict document. it mainly deals with faith, not just as a religious element but as an element for political participation. >> that said, with benedict having had so much input here, how much input is francis having so far in his papacy? >> the very fact that we find the willingness of the current hope to share authorship and the fact that we have such a strong commitment to the idea of trade clearly shows there is a franciscan behind this at the helm, but it remains to be seene will actually wield. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> a pleasure. >> in a moment, we will look at the problems are many faces in getting rid of its nuclear waste. >> we will take a look at that in a moment, but first, more news from around the world. >> russian prosecutors are

power, nuclear waste remains a controversial topic and where to store it. >> you have to factor in that radiation needs to be contained properly for up to one million years. no one wants a radioactive dump site in their backyard. >> that is why the government and opposition recently agreed on expanding the search for a suitable location to the whole of germany. >> the german upper house has now approved that decision. >> anti-nuclear activists gathered outside the bundesrat. they are concerned herman officials will never agree on where to permanently store nuclear waste and it will permanently be shipped abroad, but others are optimistic a solution will be found now that a commission has been tasked with finding a site. >> this truly marks a credible new beginning and the endless search for a permanent nuclear waste dump in germany. we have substantially improved the law in recent months.

>> many politicians long favored an abandoned salt mine in lower saxony is the best site for storing nuclear waste, but critics argued that it is not safe. now, it is listed as one of numerous options. the search for a final nuclear waste repository is set to continue for years to come. the deadline is 2031. >> i've got this name wrong enough times before. that's why i'm going to hand this story over to you. >> the scene of a tradition that draws millions of tourists from all over the world. residents of this little german village have been staging the last days of jesus christ since 1634. >> but the passion plays only take place once a decade, so organizers decided to put on yet another new production to help span that period, which also happens to cover three religions all at once.

>> it may look like a sleepy village, but it has a surprise waiting for theater fans. local residents are once again bringing the bible to life on stage with the play about the old testament prophet moses. the piece was written by a german citizen with turkish roots. a local author embraced the challenge of telling the story of a jewish prophet on a catholic stage. >> moses is a special figure in all three monotheistic religions . he is a great profit -- prophet or a lawgiver or one of god's chosen emissaries. >> the play tells the story of moses freeing the israelites from egyptian captivity and leading his people to the promised land. but this moses is not a classic

hero -- he is a leader plagued by doubt. around 400 amateur actors from the local community are taking part in the production. doctors and carpenters transformed into kings and warriors. >> theatre brings us together. it is in our blood. >> i use my vacation days for rehearsals. i love it. >> it is a lot of work. your voice gets deep and scratchy. >> the director also directs the famous passion plays and is leading the production. >> in the last years, we have turned to pieces that look at biblical stories from a critical angle because we have so many young participants, and i think it is important to keep the plays from getting stale. >> high drama with a higher

message. the latest religious play focuses on the values and history shared by christians, muslims, and jews. >> it's fashion week here in berlin, and last night, the hottest ticket was a catwalk of the difference. >> a runway on a subway train with plenty of attitude on board. here's more. >> never mind the passengers -- this show upon, latex, and urban style on a regular subway train is truly grand, and it's not just the venue that is out of the ordinary. the looks are also a departure. designers are free to make any kind of statement. >> my collection has a message. i want it to show my rage about what is going on in russia and turkey and the world. we need to show our anger and

express our deepest thoughts, even if we break taboos. >> is it fashion or just fetish? either way, the racy subterranean runway has become a firm fixture of her lynn fashion week. -- berlin fashion week. >> thick cloud of ash from a volcano has punted several airlines to suspend service to and from mexico city. >> these night vision shots show the kind of activity that has grounded flights by american airlines, us airways, delta, and alaska airlines. >> the peak is just 60 from the mexican capital. turning back now to our top story of the hour, there were reports of fighting in downtown cairo. these are live teachers as supporters of the ousted
