it has been put forward as a nominee for the prestigious. human rights prize by european norway cats the recipient of the award is to be decided in a taiba the whistle blow was nominated by a group of european parliament members who say you risk his freedom to protect the rights of others paul murphy and the irish from that group believes snowden's chances of getting the prize are slim but it's not all about winning. this nomination doesn't call unfortunately from the leadership of the european union who are think would certainly prefer to avoid the embarrassment of him winning the prize but it comes from the left in the european union which has consistently supported edward snowden he deserves to win the prize because he's a hero and he's a hero for putting his freedom on the line and still on the line in reality i think he's only likely to win and i think the greens are the green group inside the parliament also support for edward snowden but i fear that certainly the big groups

will not wants the so-called embarrassment of choosing edward snowden because of the impact that that would have on relations with the us the reason you know a very practical reason that we're proposing him is to try to pressure on countries to granting permanent asylum we don't think he should be amman without a visa is a visa for the courts of sidon for a year now but after that he has. no definite future so it's designed to add pressure on to embarrass the u.s. the french government has called on consumers to be more patriotic by buying from domestic produces but what's intended as a lifeline for french industries is proving to be an unwelcome burden on people's wallets as a silly loose into the initiative when france's industry minister struck a pose looking as french as one could be consumer affairs minister bid one more thought it was a joke. this is

a real photo of on new moon to boo i don't believe it was only. in fact what it was message was serious choose french products over foreign made ones to help more the country manage keep jobs and appeal to french patriotism in the face of a thirteen year high unemployment rate with the number of jobless hitting three million for the first time a move that comes as france talks about reforms to restore global competitiveness a critical priority says the international monetary fund. a recent study suggests that if consumers were to buy only french made goods they would have to spend between one hundred three hundred euros more each month and amount that would squeeze an already weakened purchasing power because of all the publicity the french are even more aware now are made in france products versus those coming from the outside but most of the time the difference could really be seen in the prices of the goods now this one for example is peaches from spain it costs for ninety

five per kilo right this one which is clearly marked made in france cost six and ninety five per kilo that's a two year old difference so the question here is how well it will decide to sell to the french. we definitely know i won't spend three hundred extra you have to find this money first we says yes if i have the money certainly. noises just until they come with it it just no i think globalization allows us to find cheaper goods or you know it's when you look at the product you know. those short or whatever you go that bottle has been dug into in france but bottle the the been done as well in fact a french political parties have been accused of hypocrisy as a local newspaper's investigation last year showed election campaign materials had been made in china than when they were rocco you name it. here for example

this little case is made in china so i'm not afraid buying sings in china that's the part the point is we have. the know how in france d.c.m. is a brand that takes pride in having its manufacturing base in france its director says the study more is an important point that paying more to support their own industries creates local jobs and it's far less of an economic burden than the cost of three point two million unemployed big amount. those trucks are of course. the social care we have in france and a big moment of the social worker is employment so we'd move we would be much more healthier in france and with lower deficits. if everyone was to have. a job the world trade organization has criticized this campaign as

patriotic protectionism as france's economic y. was getting treated to manage politicians seem to be grasping at straws the government's new call to arms may look good on paper but its critics point out it could end up an economic fall power. does or sylvia r.t. paris. delegates are from the ninety countries are now heading home after the three day meeting of the world economic forum in the chinese city of dali on the economic power play is discussing issues ranging from industrial innovation in energy security to trade and investment and as welcoming speech the chinese premier said the country will reach its target of seven point five percent growth this year despite the complex global economic situation dubbed as at the summit of also the dalia forum agnelli whose business leaders government officials and scholars from around the world. there are a lot of things to do they corner me it's actually for

a lot of other things in china like the political maturity and social problems. in china and one of the toppers actually at the global forum in this these days is also work ethics you know china wants to have a stakeholder in making the rules of the game and shaping them in the future i think it's perfectly reasonable to think that the chinese want to see their currency to become the next word currency they supply and and of course sign at the moment is for purchasing more and more gold this also plays into this sort china is taking a leap forward actually took control of a currency and to replace it with a yes in one corner and then christmas has been cancelled with centuries of public celebrations put aside for more neutral winter festival but it's not only christmas day local muslims of lost the right to publicly mock ramadan instead of getting a sum of festival artie's put all of our reports. we may just be approaching the

start of autumn here in germany but already minds are turning towards christmas and in particular the traditional german christmas market these markets which pop up all over the country that sell handmade christmas toys and mulled wine generally regarded as fun for all the family and they've become a major export from germany popping up as well all around the world however this year in berlin they could be in for something of a change of name in one particular region in the area of the capital councillors there have ruled that the public celebration of religious festivals isn't allowed which will see the christmas market become the winter festival market now this rebranding has ruffled a few feathers but it does have its roots and at the season made earlier this year the islamic community in this part of town had wanted to hold public celebrations to mark the end of ramadan they were told that they couldn't and now next year's

celebrations may go ahead under the name of the summerfest to go alongside the winterfest in a move that critics are saying could just end up what we've ended up doing is not just prohibiting ramadan so abrasions we are prohibiting the soul of all religious holidays under the pretext of equality but i think we are forgetting that some of our cultural traditions are based on christian traditions i'm interested to see if they're also prohibit the jews from so brilliant hanukkah i wonder if our multiculturalism will go far. so over the coming months we're just going to have to wait and see how locals and tourists alike take to the rebranding of a centuries old german tradition. right i'll be back with more news update in just a few minutes to stay with us here on our team with me to pharmacy.
