Leaders put a positive spin on bracks said talks of britains theresa may says shes with and she says they are within touching distance of a deal all that germanys im going back on speaks of encouraging signs of progress but she says talks are called move forward until divorce but they settled. On uganda off as lessons in responding to a refugee crisis t w looks at the countrys welcomes more than a million new arrivals even as it faces widespread hug. Also coming up is the birth of a new fast food we take you to the French Island of survival on demand and ready to eat on the go. Im phil gayle welcome to the program. German chancellor Angela Merkel has started her first full round of talks to piece together an unprecedented multiparty National Governing coalition fifty politicians from her conservative c. D. U. The business from the f. T. P. And the greens have been meeting to see if they can Work Together on topics ranging from the European Union to finance and Foreign Policy their political differences are significant but so is the pressure to succeed. The more than fifty negotiators appear optimistic after two any of will get togethers todays meeting is getting right to the point their goal is to form an Unprecedented Coalition between no less than four parties. I mean thats the sort of im happy that were Getting Started today there will definitely be a number of differing opinions but i have the impression that well also see a desire for the parties to agree as far as im concerned im willing to reflect in a creative manner. Creativity might be whats needed here because there is a long way to go until the socalled Jamaica Coalition has been reached the colors of the parties involved are the same as those of the jamaican flak medicals conservatives are meeting with the business friendly free democrats and the green party. The first issues on the agenda finance the public budget and taxes some of the most contentious topics on the table. Truants is the word. Here gets important for us to hold the talks in an unbiased way possible that things work out so we are serious about finding Common Ground for a legislative period but its also possible that there wont be enough similarities also and as christ in front of the german bund us talk environmental activists show they are taken out to make a coalition they support the green party who are calling for brown coal to be faced out Energy Policy another hot topic at the negotiating table. I did earlier Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow is monitoring those discussions in bouton welcome thomas explain to us whats going on here because it is usual for germany to be governed by a coalition so why all of these discussions so difficult. Well because a type of the correlation that we would be we would see here is something that germany has not seen at a federal level and the parties here represent very different segments of the political spectrum where the environmentalists greens or the probusiness f. T. P. Or Angela Merkels conservative bloc including the sister party the c. S. U. On the right of the political spectrum and all these different parties have to come to the same table have to discuss the issues that they believe are important and more importantly they have to try and find some sort of Common Ground there are twelve issues on the agenda not only for today but also for the next few weeks because something is going to take a long time fail and those topics range from Family Matters to taxes to europe to Foreign Policy to security i mean you name the topic and it will be on the agenda here and then all these parties have to try and find some sort of agreement if theyre going to have that Jamaica Coalition which they hope they will achieve by the end of the year well lets name one of those issues and talk about the refugees the million plus refugees who have come to germany particularly contentious what can we expect. Well this is a good example that can explain why this situation here is so complicated you have the conservative block on the one hand they agreed that they wanted to achieve a cap on migration thats their goal on the other hand you have the greens with morals more of a sort of welcoming culture for refugees they say under no circumstances will we allow any type of cap then you have the issue of family reunification in other words where the refugees here in germany are allowed or not allowed to bring their families the conservative bloc is rather skeptical of that decision on the other hand the greens say they will be favorable towards that decision so you can just see how different the opinions are here and how difficult it will be to try and find some sort of agreement on this issue that has been definitely one of the key issues in german politics in the last few years Thomas Sparrow in berlin thank you well as chancellor merkel tries to form a government at home shes also been discussing a brac set with britains Prime Minister and a u. Leaders a meeting today in brussels ended with the two sides still struggling with the terms of britains divorce from the e. U. Chancellor merkel have raised hopes that talks may move all of the next summit in december but she also said progress would depend on britains financial settlement being agreed. Turris there may did her best to keep up appearances in brussels but she offered few new answers to the many questions that remain about braggs us how much is laundered willing to pay to settle a divorce battle and when it remains a mystery. The full and final settlement will come as part of the final agreement that were getting in relation to the future partnership and i think thats absolutely right finances are the main Sticking Point between britain and the e. U. University and the for britain and still has to make a significant financial effort at the moment we are far off a figure that takes long term financial commitments into account. The hope is that well have come far enough by december that well be able to move on to the next phase of negotiations but its up to britain to make that possible. Though fridays morning meeting did little to sweeten the relationship between britain and the e. U. Not all was lost. Not sufficient it doesnt. Progress at all. Prime minister may offered a much needed olive branch pledging to protect you citizens in britain after the break that process is completed the u. K. And the e. U. Share the same objective of safeguarding the rights of e. U. Nationals living in the u. K. And u. K. Nationals living in the e. U. Citizens have made a huge contribution to our country and let me be clear that whatever happens we want them and their families to stay no one had expected a breakthrough but friday summers is unlikely to leave either side feeling satisfied a lot about somebody you Council President presented to whats being called the leaders agenda to discuss the reforms proposed by the french president Emmanuel Mccraw lasted only correspondent max hoffman in brussels about the about agenda. What you have at the moment is you have a very enthusiastic french president with a lot of energy making a lot of proposition suggestions all over the place and i think theres two fold here what the president of the e. U. Council is trying to do is giving all those visions of that energy a little structure sort of channeling what a money remark or is proposing and at the same time not only channeling it but preserving the ambition that is behind it because but you have to think about it you know if you still have twenty eight Member States that might not agree with everything that a minute michael is saying thats one problem the other problem is that often in the past leaders decided something on these summits but it never happened it never followed through they want to change that want to change that by setting out a new agenda giving it more pace and really trying to settle also the issues that were contentious in the past. Thats max hoffman in brussels now this is the worlds number one killer environmental pollution is causing more deaths every year the wars and violence natural disasters hunger or smoking may just study published in the Lancet Medical Journal says that one out of every six premature deaths in twenty fifteen thats about nine million can be attributed to diseases caused by toxic exposure according to the reports pollution kills three times more people than aids tuberculosis and malaria combined more than six times the number killed in road accidents. More than fifteen times the number killed by war. And middle Income Countries are worst affected pollution could be responsible for up to a quarter of all deaths but developed countries are also grappling with the effects of dirty air and contaminated water. Ships in hamburgs harbor pumping air chemicals theyre the main source of air pollution in this northern german port city but hamburgs air is also full of dust particles nitrogen oxide and c o two emitted by the citys cars and power stations air pollution is a global problem a new study Available Online has pinpointed where the air soil and water are particularly poor and how many people are dying worldwide as a result. In germany pollution kills seven hundred sixty four people per million. The study shows a correlation between poverty and death due to pollution children are especially at risk and environmental n. G. O. S are warning of Long Term Health consequences. Thats in todays fairly. Deaths happened because of air pollution. Because people and haled microbe particles in i turned them died prematurely from a heart attack or from lung cancer which creeps for. Around fifty leading scientists contributed to the lancet study which includes numerous economic and political proposals for combating pollution. As to how this whole with richard the following is president of pure Nongovernmental Organization that focuses on pollution problems he coauthored the report and joins us from new york welcome to day doubly if they were dying in such huge numbers one wonders why countries are making greater efforts to protect their own citizens. Youre right its really extraordinary that they havent paid much attention to this as much as they should and ive been meeting with ministers of health and ministers of environment in these countries for over a decade mostly theyre just unaware of how big the problem is this report really is going to help them as ever the worlds poorest countries seem to be worst affected why so whats whats going on there is first of all that had pollution problems related to industrialized nations and urbanization at the same time so as theyve grown their economies they havent matched that Economic Growth with the right kind of controls on pollution so air quality has gone downhill and had more soil and chemical explosions without having the right controls over it all and government is kind of behind the ball in trying to catch up a lot of these problems weve weve seen this this argument though havent we in the need to develop fossil fuels developing countries will say well if were going to catch you guys up in the industrialized world we have to do this otherwise we sleep behind and everybody gets poorer and they still die so whats the solution. Yeah that argument actually doesnt hold up when you look at toxins when people are being made sick or dying before they have had their Productive Lives in fact have a drain on the economy we calculated that around two percent. In low and middle Income Countries and that drain actually could pay for an awful lot of illusion medication if people were aware of it and could put it into their priorities so your report proposes some solutions we wont go through them all which is likely to have the greatest effect. Well i think it depends on what country and the most important thing that countries ought to do for us is to look within their own borders that where our biggest problems with toxic exposures is it from an pollution in the capital city or is it from soil pollution all that exposure or chromium or some industrial issue all mercury for example and gold mining areas and each country will have a different set of issues that are the most significant and once that is well known then of course programs can be designed and there are plenty of terrific ponders around the well who can provide expertise on the says sense and reducing this disease because of course this isnt so much of a problem in europe or in the u. S. So these solutions are not complex theyre well known its just a matter of let it go really to make sure that theyre implemented ok richard full of you of thank you my pleasure thanks for having me. I was take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world two suicide bombings have killed dozens of people in afghanistan attack and set off his explosives at a shiite mosque in the capital kabul killing at least thirty nine people and wounding scores more police say at least thirty three people died in a separate a bombing during friday prayers at a sunni mosque in Western Province warlord who was apparently the target of that attack. Checks are voting in a two day parliamentary election that is expected to hand power to a populist billionaire frontrunner Andre Babbage has pledged to stamp out corruption boost investment and keep out refugees but hes all of movement is likely to need Coalition Partners in order to form a new government. Spains Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy says his government has reached a critical stage in his efforts to stop after the news independence bit its taking emergency power surges taking control of the Regions Health care and policing cason on president carters push tomorrow such a move would trigger a unilateral declaration of independence. And its not just a business is reconsidering their future in catalonia daniel has more now in the business thank you phil of course everyones affected by what businesses do catalonian separatists thought they had the trump card a glittering economy but now it seems businesses can more about stability than political identity many firms have already packed their bags and thats for the regions students worried and some say theyll be out at the first sign of separation from space. Its break time at the Technical University of catalonia. And time to let off steam. The independence debate is a hot topic here. It concerns the students futures. That. It will result in international and Medium Sized Companies leaving the region it will be very difficult to find work then i dont want to leave catalonia my whole family is living here but theres a possibility that i will have to leave us quite a bit of. The political conflict is already taking its toll say on a volkswagen affiliate is one of the regions biggest employers there are rumors the Central Government in madrid is putting the carmaker under pressure to leave catalonia no comment from the company on the other hand the german business show is happy to talk about things its high Tech Mechanical arm is designed for the factories of the future made in barcelona and freighted off to other parts of the country and abroad the business is enjoying double digit growth but couldnt Catalonian Independence post problems hundreds of companies are turning their backs on the region. Thats a good wash and here i expect article one fifty five wont be triggered and independence wont be declared early elections are a possibility the whole affair may drag on for weeks but we dont think drastic decisions like shifting operations will be necessary in the short term but we expect the political situation will calm down in the next weeks and months and often want to know what. So shown will stay for now but others have already gone. Wind turbines are getting ever taught to the frequent annoyance of those living near them just like germany which has bet big on renewables back in two thousand the average german wind turbine measured just one hundred meters that so about the same size of the statue of liberty now lets zoom out and fast forward a little bit these days turbines reach around one hundred eighty five meters leaving them towering above the cologne cathedral but check this out experts suggest that by twenty twenty five Wind Turbines make assaulter three hundred meters practically the same height as the eiffel tower all of which makes the wind turbine developed by two in based environmental engineers almost in the comparison measuring rather puny ten meters but it has one advantage with a little bit of know how anyone can build their own. This bicycle workshop its actually based inside this steel container. Recently it was even kitted out with knights. And music keeps the workers in a good mood and. The workshop is located in tempelhof park on the fields of berlins foreman and port most impressively the power is generated by a homemade wind turbine that rises ten metres above the ground. As well what i find fascinating is that you can build this really complex products yourself and Wind Turbines are complex and many processes go into building one today theyre also being built on a Large Industrial scale we have a lot of big megawatt Wind Turbines
