>> the german parliament has just approved a resolution formally calling turkey's mass killing of armenians during world war i a genocide. that vote comes at a sensitive time for the modern-day allies as berlin and the european union are relying on ankara for support in the refugee crisis. let's bring in sarah harmon in berlin. >> this is not a surprise but it is important. we heard in the run-up to the actual vote, the green party leader and also the turkish heritage himself, and he made it clear this is not about guilt. this is about responsibility. people alive today bear no guilt but they bear responsibility. we have heard a lot about german responsibility. many say germany knew what was going on at the time and did nothing but this boat is also about germany coming to terms with the blood on its hands.

left party saying "it is time to call this a genocide." what is interesting is the was not present. angela merkel not there in her two top guys not there. also her foreign minister frank steinmeyer not present. it seems not likely. but whether merkel was physically there, it seems like it isn't going to matter very much. last year, turkey recalled its ambassador to the when austrian lawmakers made a similar move. has there been any word so far of a similar reaction from turkey? >> we have one local berlin reporting online that turkey has recalled the turkish ambassador to germany. i haven't seen anything to confirm that in the last 20

minutes so we are still waiting on official confirmation. it wouldn't be a surprising move but we also have to say 11 other eu countries have declared this to be a genocide. the same is germany did today. most of them still maintain relations, positive relationships with turkey. is hope that whatever kerfuffle this causes, it might not lead to a complete fallout. genie: thanks for that. sarah harmon reporting from berlin. flooding has been devastating in germany where at least four people have been killed. the southern state of brevard area was worst hit. two others are still missing with one police officer saying they are expecting the worst. hearts ofg floods hit france as well and in some areas the water is at its highest level in a century.

cartel'sok at the reputation, we don't have any united front. we have everyone fighting for the run market share. i think what is important is not these newoil, but faces. four ministers from 2015 and the rest of the ministers are all new. feed that supply glut on the market. can they address issues of demand and supply? can we have stability going forward? in play with the new oil minister from saudi arabia genie:. what affect is this having on the markets? crude, the benchmark for oil, fell to $27 a barrel.

it hit the $50 mark last week. ministerss those oil meet. butonly the opec meeting the meeting of the european central bank also happening in vienna today. europe and -- pretty much treading water. let's go to switzerland where voters are going to the polls to vote on the idea of a minimum income for everyone. >> money for nothing sounds like a great idea but paying for such a universal benefit isn't cheap. turningrendum switzerland into a guaranteed income for all. but opinion is divided. >> what would you do if your income wasn't an issue where -- issue? for as ahead of the vote

universal basic income. supporters are leaving their answers across the city. it is a proposal that has split opinions. will vote yes,i because even though i am not completely convinced yet and even though it is unclear how this can be financed, the idea appeals to me. we have a relatively well functioning social system for people who are out of work or having health problems and it works well. when it comes to the minimum income, i am skeptical. the plans would see every swiss citizen given 2300 euros a month by the government, no strings attached. those who do work would also receive money but have their salaries deducted by the same amount. haveontroversial proposals been criticized by almost all political parties with some

supporting the resolution because the daily sabah is a pro-government paper and reporting the government party line. turkey has strongly rejected the use of the term genocide of an estimated million and a half armenians and other christian minorities from the ottoman empire. the paper goes on to report that the german head of integration says that while she will support the bill, she thinks it is the wrong path. genie: armenia is urging germany not to cave in to pressure. catherine: armenia's president toe an exclusive interview german papers in which he urged the german government to stay the course. he says germany has a special responsibility. inre are numerous documents the german archive detailing the country's involvement. germany was an ally with the ottoman empire. the president goes on to say

is no apartheid in the french team. genie: another frenchman is speaking out about his religious identity. catherine: he has made a new film called "the jews." it is a comedy about anti-semitism. and said that he made the film in response to a he feels as a jew in his country. he said growing up, he was taught that being jewish was private. in public, you were supposed to act french. the actor says, he is being touted in the press as a franco israeli actor. they are pointing to his jewish identity without his consent and he says he has now become the designated jew. it is interesting how it explores france's complicated past with the identity and what

it means to be french. whether it is a religious background or ethnic background. genie: one of the big topics in france has been a continuous rain and the flooding here. catherine: anybody who has poked their head out the window can see that they need a big umbrella. interesting pictures reporting on the continuing rise of the seine. it could climb past five meters today. one way to measure that is to take a look at the statue that is on the point down the bridge which connects the eiffel tower. in twitter, we see a photo at the statue's feet. going up. ever taken a ride has heard the story of the great flood in 1910 where it reached the neck. it is worth keeping and i online

to see where the water is rising. genie: you took a look at an article about the response that we have two victims of domestic violence. catherine: this is an article in the telegraph and they are looking at this complicated issue through the lens of some marital woes of johnny depp and amber heard. they say the response to what has happened exposes some hard truths about the general response to domestic violence. media, which doesn't always bring out the best in people, the article doesn't focus on that, but it is a typical response when someone comes out with this to say it shows them we blame rather than believe the women who come forward to report domestic violence. the article goes on to say that this particular case shines a light on the three most common responses. outright disbelief, the blaming of the victim, the blaming of

the victim that she somehow provoked the attack, and finally the story must be false because the alleged perpetrator is just a very nice guy. genie:
