by contrast, our story of art in northern europe begins in the late medieval courts of france.t was a time of violent contrasts. in the luxury of the court, the duke enjoys his banquet while the peasants shelter from the snow. in their hovel, they bare themselves by the fire. these illuminations were painted around 1414 by three brothers from the netherlands-- the limbourgs--at the court of the duke of berry. the detailed realism of these faces and landscapes was a feature of northern art in this period. the limbourg brothers began their career working for the brother of the duke of berry-- philip the bold, duke of burgundy. the valois dukes of burgundy established one of the strangest and most extravagant courts of late medieval europe. from their base in burgundy, by marriage and diplomacy, they acquired large areas of the netherlands to build an extensive, though fragmented state of vast wealth. in 1404, duke philip the bold died at the stag inn near brussels. 20 years earlier, his royayal sculptors had begun work on philip's tomb. one of them carved these images of the fune

conflict now we're all moved to find work and of course make money most northern african states move into europe now they're through france and italy and germany as well as the united states others attempt to make it through other countries within the e.u. and among the most popular ones are those in the u.k. as well as germany but it's italy and agrees that bear the brunt as according to e.u. laws asylum seekers entering without authorization or blah is to remain and in those countries where they first arrive you've got to be sort of went to meet some of those trying to make their way to a better life. they want to buy the food from the opium to saddam then traveled to libya and finally reach sicily after what must have been the most nerve wrecking ball right off their lives these three women are hiding their faces from the camera since now they're risking being sent back when we were at sea now the boat with the refugees sank into a three hundred people died but we were lucky and in sicily we managed to avoid getting registered it's illegal between need to go further north there is nothing for us here under regulation a

france before finishing in england. in this second episode, we travel through the highlights of northern italy -- venice, siena, and the cinque terre -- my favorite stretch of the riviera. for most people, venice is a must-see destination. to be here, on this unique island, amid all this culture and history is truly a wonder. but, with its popularity, st. mark's square in midday can come with overwhelming crowds. it'll take an hour for these folks to get into the church. with so many people traveling these days, if you're not on the ball, crowds can be a real problem. to me, there's two kinds of travelers -- those who waste valuable time waiting in long lines like this, and smarter travelers who don't. most lines you see, like this one at the uffizi gallery in florence, are not people waiting to get in. they're waiting to buy tickets to get in -- but there are other ways to get tickets. for example, these people at the louvre in paris could avoid this notorious line if they simply bought the city museum pass, which lets you go directly through the turnstile. you can also make reservations in places like rome's borghese

france and the netherlands also fac face heavy weather. this system is still battering northern europe and toward the east as it makes it's way towards the southern scandinavian peninsula and the balkans. the deadly winds will still be impacting much of these regions now so if you're in these i have tinities watch out for downed powerlines and falling trees and the transportation is going to be either cancelled or going to be delayed in a long-time period. a couple of low pressure systems are still going to be left behind, even though the system moves away toward, it's a rapid system hence the very strong winds. so it will be very unsettled across much of these areas and gusty winds as well with southern burst of showers will be remaining across similar regions. now wards the south, especially across the black sea region in the balkans, it's looking quite fine with 15 degrees and kiev at 16. looking at a foggy day and it will continue into saturday. but still in the 20s and athens looking at 27 degrees. that's well above the average range. now to the continental asia we have bee

is an argument that we don't hear so much from the countries in northern europe, countries like germany, sweden, britain, belgium and francehey say we take the majority of asylum seekers. they arrive by airplane and overstay their visa. this is not as dramatic visually as what we see here in places like lampadusa or greece nor of course does it create the kinds of terrible tragedies we saw in lampadusa at the beginning of the month. behind the scenes this will be the argument from the northern european to the southern says we do our fair share. it's not quite correct to say that you are the ones carrying all the burden, that is the argument at least. >> reporter: and thank you very much for getting us up to date on that and we are speaking from the island of lampadusa. president william ruto must attend his crimes against humanity trial at the criminal court in the hague and appeals chamber reversed an earlier decision in june excusing ruto from attending much of the trial before the hague court. let's speak to our correspondent peter who joins us from the kenyan capitol nairobi so peter what is next now for the deputy pre
