Washington post good morning to wreck. Does cohens guilty plea mean that the president broke the law well it certainly makes it more likely thats people that investigators will figure out that he did break the law in case what cohen said was in fact true but whether thats going to have any legal consequences thats a totally different question ok the legal call a consequence of right now is the possibility of an indictment for the u. S. President how likely is that scenario. Well thats an area which is not very likely at the moment because the Department Of Justice has actually done a few analyses in the past and theyve always concluded that indicting were charging a sitting president is simply impossible so you would have to have a prosecutor whos willing to take the risk to challenge that ok you know weve seen legal troubles for the president before and for his Associates Im thinking of general Michael Flynn one example is the cohen case different than that well
a coin case is different because it directly implicates the president himself and that is to a large extent different because it could have legal ramifications legal impact beyond is true it could in fact leads to a criminal charges after. After the end of his term after the end of his term but not right now democrats of in these kind of situations especially with the Michael Flynn situation raise the possibility of impeachment is way too early to talk about that yet that is out there in terms of what the democrats to teach it interests are well it is too early to speculate about impeachment but certainly if the midterms change the political balance in washington and if the democrats take the house step becomes a possibility at least triggering Impeachment Hearings would become a possibility and in fact there are certain democrats who are already demanding to
been struck yesterday more by the news of a cohen cohen pleading guilty done by demand afford burdick but also there might be some legal obstacles here because those are two very Different Cases you have a former long or one Time Campaign manager and then you have his lawyer and there are different legal implications for defending his person because theyre still ok what are prison trumps political options right now you mentioned the Midterm Elections are coming up in november are they that much more of a higher stakes game for the political survival of the president well they could become that if the democrats decide to make that their rallying cry there are two options i think. Either this could in bold trumps supporters who consider all of those investigations deeply unfair or it could impose on the democrats who managed
a corruption involving officials and Business Leaders during her time in office. A powerful earthquake shook venezuelas northeastern coast and parts of the caribbean on a seven point three magnitude quake was the largest to hit the country in over a century but occurred so deep low the earths surface that it calls the only minor. Well as italy tightened its Border Controls in recent months spain has now become the main destination for african migrants find to reach europe and one entry point into spain is right in africa from morocco to the spanish on klav of say you to but its no easy feat a six metre high fence barricades the eight kilometer long border spanish Officials Say migrants have resorted to violence in their attempts to make it across but for those do manage to get through its no guarantee of an easy passage to a new life he wus all over salah falls
a group who hope to make it to europe whatever the cost salif and his friends have to make their way to the high note carefully its in the mountains of morocco near the border with sciutto. They say the police could show up at any time and destroy their camp the group have thousands of kilometers behind them now just a few hundred metres separate them from europe that fence this man from Guinea Oceans as deep cuts they are from his attempts to storm the water. My father is dead my mother has nothing not even food im the oldest son and i want to try and make some money to help my mother thats why i left. They have been travelling for two years since leaving guinea ah now they are stuck here with some Fifty Thousand others all hoping to make the journey from morocco to europe. Some
been waiting six months for this chance say with us fans its this final hurdle. I have many friends who have made it to europe. So many have recently crossed the border we trust in god that we will also make it someday. The fence is here to stop them its eight kilometers long and fitted with razor sharp wire along with the enclave of millys this is the only other e. U. Border in africa on the other side is a crew sato from the spanish guard its his job to secure this border but lately that hasnt always been possible. Over six hundred migrants managed to storm the fence at the end of july the police are helpless and talk of unprecedented levels of violence makeshift Flame Throwers Quicklime and grappling hooks are the migrants
weapons of choice but recruit others we are going to they were very well prepared and organized. Small there was so violent that we could not get to the fence. I mean they threw acid at us and did all they could to prevent us from closing the holes that they had cut into the fence. Victory over the fence its taken years for them to reach their destination. The temporary Reception Center and see you to is fit to burst they have to stay here for one year then they can continue on to spanish mainland only a few of them apply for asylum since hardly any of them have any chance of asylum in europe its putting pressure on the city of Eighty Thousand people the number of arrivals is barely Sustainable Council representatives say the situation in seal to
authorities and our own i mean this. Usually when both sides organize themselves well and everything goes well then we reach our goal. The young men in the mountains of morocco believe in Strength In Numbers saif and his friends are already planning their next attempt to storm the fence theyre tired of the brutality of the hands of the moroccan police. They only find food at a nearby rubbish dump a soft drink a cucumber. Amole potato life here is unbearable. Morocco is teeming with police offices. All of my friends who left guinea with me made it to syria. What am i supposed to do here ill stay here until i can get in. In america in one Nine Hundred Forty nine concealing his nazi service from immigration officials eight years later his application for citizenship was granted but in the one Nine Hundred Ninety s. Investigators caught up with him he admitted to them having trained at a nazi s. S. Camp in trav nikki the site of one of the holocaust worst massacres claiming the lives of some six thousand jewish citizens. A judge then revoked pollies american citizenship in Two Thousand And Three a year later the u. S. Authorities ordered his deportation. Until now although germany had refused to accept him on the grounds that he isnt a german and also because german investigators say the evidence against him using conclusive. But the u. S. Ambassador lobbied strongly behind the scenes saying berlin had a moral obligation to admit a man suspected of committing crimes in germanys name hes ninety five hes
probably going to die at some point soon hes a little bit sickly and so we wanted to make sure that he didnt die in peace and comfort in the United States but that he was brought back somewhere to to face more justice on diplomatic rather than legal grounds the German Government has now accepted that argument. Sports now in germany Football Coach welcome love has presented his breakdown of what he thinks broke down a junes world cup the ball it did it in a private meeting with the German Federation where discussions were said to be intense. On their way to a Closed Door Summit the most influential people of german soccer they were hosted by the German Football Federation which needs a reboot after germanys disastrous performance at the world cup head coach here he moved and manager on of appealable were asked to lead the crisis side germany
crashed out of the first round of this years soccer world cup after winning it all in twenty fourteen shocking performances cause disbelief among players and fans as the reigning World Champions fail to qualify for the knockout stages during the most Intense Exchange of recent years as the societe later called summit live supposedly produced some answers as to why germany failed so miserably and presented his plan for the near future. Two more meetings are set for this and next week the latter of which will be public as york remove also announces his squad for the upcoming us from Nations League games. Its to the skies over Lower Austria now where it was sometimes difficult to actually see the sky because of all the world Hot Air Ballooning Championship action out there One Hundred Fifty below us involved in the week long event from thirty eight countries they go up twice a day the pilots competing in various events like flying their Craft Closest to
certain targets or on doing a Chase Balloon this is the first time the biannual of that has taken off in austria. Is here now and from hollywood balloons on to the hot weather on our planet exactly all over its been a very hot some of brian and for central and Northern Europe its actually been the hottest summer since nineteen seventy six and on top of that there was hardly any rainfall the heat and drought ive been wreaking havoc for the upper culture sector not only here in europe but around the world to see just how dry it is take a look at these thing. From the International Space station with no clouds and sites europe is popped and that means Water Shortages crop losses wildfires wide areas of australia are also stricken by drought of the worst in decades formosa finding it hard to even keep their animals alive and they are already getting stage
aid and the u. S. State of california is also facing severe droughts Water Supplies have been declining there for decades but this year the situation is especially grim the result is that overall more wheat and corn will be consumed in Twenty Eight Hundred than can be produced and reserves already twinkling. Well lets bring in an expert now when it comes to heat extreme weather and the impact on food a matting time professor of International Food economics and Rural Development i was doing a vessel in gutting and good to have you with us so we had a sweltering summer not only here in germany but its been hot around the world and everyone is going on about just how hot and dry this summer was was a greenie thats unusual yes it was very unusual especially when you look at them over hemisphere Northern Europe and germany stations in every part of the august summer since the official recordings of weather data so yes this is an
extreme case and its very unusual when we compared with the past not be so unusual when we come here and with whats the Climate Change deniers are predicting for the future not only the mean temperature is but also more frequent whether its streams such as the drop that we saw this year all right so there lies more i have to just in order to give us an idea i mean in terms of the economy how big is the damage that we see already can you put a price tag on that. Well the price tag is currently difficult because they are cultural harvests are not all in yet so we have heard in your contribution that in some regions of germany yields are you know below average by seventy per cent but those are extreme pockets so the estimates for germany and all of them europe as a whole is that we may be twenty percent below the longer term average and thats of
course a substantial. Decline in comparison to what we usually have i mean what what you say how many such thomas can we handle before where we face the Serious Problems in terms of food security. When we have a few of these years in a row then we will certainly have a serious would Security Problem but im much less concerned about germany because people in germany are rich enough so that even if prices go up or they can afford enough food a much more developed so the poor people in africa and so asia we are hunger and poverty. Anyway even in an average year and will certainly go walk. Prices go up and unfortunately i mean we are complaining here but all of our Climate Models are saying that the negative impact of Climate Change are all made
repulsor will be much more severe and talk regions of so patient africa than in europe and that means the biggest impact negative impact will be where people already were and thats something we need to take very seriously exactly because of course that means the next Migration Crisis is just waiting for us around the corner professor. Of International Foot economics and Rural Development at the university and getting and thank you so much. From the threat of Food Shortage now to a more lighthearted talk its game time this week in the german city of cologne with hundreds of thousands of gay most flocking to the Worlds Largest event for computer and video games and power but it dived into the crowds for us and it was anything but the date.
