and earlier we ask a favor my from the info research institute if b.m.w.'s huge investment in china made the deal possible the opening up also sends a very powerful signal to washington to the white house because what people w. will do is relocate production of s.u.v.s from spartanburg to shenyang that will be something that the trump will notice and that shows very clearly china can do or something about the trade war with america that it is in and it has allies in doing so and b.m.w. and more generally probably german cami because police rule in this. day and seven miles from the five research institute speaking to us earlier that while the e.u. has been trying hard to mitigate the effects of u.s. sanctions on iran they were reimposed after u.s. president donald trump was juror from the six party neatly a deal which reigned in the country's nuclear industry but besides the obvious industrial restrictions the sanctions have cost the iranian currency fifty percent of its value or radians attending to buying gold to protect their savings sending gold prices

we've got to leave it there that was dan smith director of the stock i'm international peace research institute thanks very much for your time. now defeat an oil spill in the gulf of mexico that's been ongoing for fourteen years now could become america's worst environmental disaster it was in two thousand and four when hurricane events slammed into florida's gulf coast severely damaging an offshore drilling operation just offer louisiana however the company in charge did manage to cover up the incident for a whole six years. flying over the gulf of mexico a research. gas bubbling in a miles long slick people are not the only ones who call the now polluted waters hold for the indigenous there are countless birds and wildlife the stakes are high life or death time is rather. i suppose the difference is that. rosenberg was a big explosion and people got killed instantly and you know and then the loss of more was released. in the. first the original incident. it was in the context. and the company and the american regulators managed to keep the entire incident pretty quiet. accident which. but ove

s crisis research institute oxford you're very welcome to the program so there's been a horrific rise in civilian casualties from suicide bomb attacks why do you think that is. where we're seeing the real radicalization of afghanistan on almost the syrian model if you like ironically as the civil war in syria has wound there's been an increase in violence in afghanistan and that's probably the most violent conflict in the world at the moment and. the use of i.e.d. the use of these kinds of attacks is way both spectacular it's also very unsettling because what it does is when these things take place in government buildings and in provincial headquarters it shows that the afghan government and its allies the americans the british and so on can't really control the situation it's intended to create an unsettling sense that there's no hope for the present government and we're beginning to see an erosion of any confidence that you can have a popular base government through elections and the taliban of course is able then to say that by by the way not the only people planting these bombs on

you later started in west berlin and the areas research institute this week but from what i see from your resume it all went pretty smoothly for you. you were one of the editors of a book called third generation is germany which contemporaries of yours tell their stories of how the great was the destruction they experienced up. the experiences people had while things were changing after the collapse of communism were different for each individual or in particular i'd like to stress the children who grew up in families very loyal to the communist system was suddenly faced with a tricky dilemma. those who had conformed and were seen as good citizens were now seen as evil and unjust. realising as a teenager or child that your parents were complicit in such a system is of course a difficult situation but fortunately that wasn't the case for me but people have different perceptions of justice of injustice and also of guilt and shame. and is that why you became involved in the initiative generation of east germany at the office what. i mean is that our family also had its ups and downs dur

but if you look at the details you find the reason in categories such as patent applications research institutions and the like in no singer category is germany actually number one but it's always close to the top other countries such as the us may be number one in some categories but they are much more mediocre in other categories so it's the breath of germany that it's pretty good in almost every category that means germany actually ends up number one in innovation although it does not have the most applications and does not have the very best scientific research. into the conflicts come from seeing the powerful two years ago in the philippines began a war against the drug gangs in which thousands of people. rights activists charge the police with illegal charges which president. i guess this week here in manila this is legal adviser salvador kind of welcome to come to conflicts of. d.w. . national i'm going to start my night hide your identity. we are scared we are very scared that we have to stay here and you know. like. i did it was dinner. time led to what is the true face of the country loo

s crisis research institute says washington doesn't want to admit defeat in a failed invasion. well we're seeing the radicalization of afghanistan on almost the syrian model if you like ironically as the civil war in syria has wound has been increasing by us not consent and not probably the most violent of these conflicts in the world at the moment the use of these kinds of attacks is way both spectacular it's also very unsettling because what it shows that the afghan government and its allies the americans and british and so on can't really control the situations of britain and america from afghanistan recently through syria and libya and should have shown we're very good at destroying things and smashing up our plans but we don't we don't do reconstruction any more just look at the fate of mosul in iraq or rock or in syria the divided councils in washington i think probably trump would like to disengage from any of these wars which are costly become so popular it would be fair to call him a new face in brazil's political life confronting traditional approaches with fresh idea

it's the only leading researcher institution in the u.s. that started in the 20th century.ach year this campus reaches a new record for the most college applications submitted, more than any university in the world. can you wonder why? it's in los angeles. the weather is great. tens of millions of younger voters could sway any given election, but they're historically difficult to mobilize. according to a recent poll from the public religion research institute and the atlantic, only 28% of adults between the ages of 18 and 29 say they are absolutely certain they will vote in the midterms. thank you for the band, by the way. there are 44,947 students enrolled at ucla, but how are campus activists getting them excited to vote? joining me, president of the bruin republicans, ben sakeresen and from the democrats, nasser ahmed. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> is there one issue that's animating young people to vote, ucla students to vote? >> well, for democrats at least it's a multitude of issues, mainly, you know, morality in highest offices of the land. >> mo

a new survey from the nonpartisan public religion research institution shows democrats with a nine-point advantage on the generic ballot. as they try to make gains in congress. democrats are looking to have a chance in the house, but the senate appears to be slipping away from their grasp. the survey found that more than half of americans say they are absolutely certain to vote in the midterms, was just more than a quarter, putting their odds of voting at a 50/50. 90% say they will probably vote. it appears partisans are about as equally likely to report that they will vote, 63% of democrats and 59% of republicans say they are absolutely certain to turn out next tuesday. intensity and the vote account will matter, but early voting, lawrence, has been going on in many places. we have been watching that as well. >> lawrence: i think there's good on both sides that they can applaud. for democrats, they are probably upset because voter registration numbers are up, which normally benefits the democrats. also, republicans are excited because after kavanaugh there was this momentum. now you hav

the national institute of economic and social research is britain's oldest independent research instituted its latest research shows global growth slowing from 4% down to 3.5% next year. doctor garry young, director of macroeconomic modelling and forecasting at the national institue of economic and social research. why the slowdown? the slowdown is coming about because economies are growing too fast. the us economy, for example, has been growing at 3% per year and they were expecting any long—term that it could only grow at 296 long—term that it could only grow at 2% per year and long—term that it could only grow at 2% peryearand a long—term that it could only grow at 2% per year and a similar pattern is true also in germany and other major economies because of demographics and issues like that, the economies are bound to slow down a little bit in the medium—term, so i would say a slowdown from 4% to 3.5% is a good outcome. i was trying to think whether this is going to be a dramatic slowdown. is this one that is accompanied by stock market colla pses ? is accompanied by stock market coll

sequences sent by the british research institute. all the d.n.a. strands would read and all the messages from the retrieved. after we receive the sequence read information back from the heidelberg laboratory we decode those fragments of d.n.a. we put back together the binary files based on that information and then we want to compare whether that exactly matches what we started with the photograph looks exactly the same and we also checked in the computer where every single bit every zero and one was correct and. then his colleagues demonstrated that coding digital information in d.n.a. strands is a perfectly realistic alternative which could also often large storage capacity. so using the same system that we used in our experiment the full size of all the information in the whole world is two cubic meters so that's two meters. by one meter by one meter so you could fit that all in the back of a large car. bomb but now the process is still experimental as it's complex and expensive. but yet it is conceivable and within the realm of possibility that

also heard expert analysis from the director of the world around stop come international peace research institute dan smith he told my colleague andrew farmer the foundations of international arms controls will now have to be rebuilt. i think that what we're saying is that an architecture of arms control that was put together around the end of the cold war back consisted of the i.n.f. treaty the conventional forces in europe treaty problem capping numbers of heavy weapons non-nuclear weapons on both sides the presidential nuclear initiatives and the strategic arms reduction treaty building on the foundations of the a.b.m. treaty that was an architecture which has given us peace and security of an unexpected mixture of all time for the last nearly three decades the a.b.m. treaty was abrogated by the us in two thousand and two russia effectively pulled out of the c.f.c. the conventional forces treaty in twenty six again now the us is pulling out of the i.m.f. treaty and the strategic arms reduction treaty only last until twenty twenty one and currently there are no talks to prolong it so the archit
