it s really. something that. nineteen if. not for god w. s member focus. group. up i i. believe. when you re on a run problems roll right off your back you don t play you mesmerize like first place still undefeated and start scoring who scored this time in both sport and how. there is i was mostly going to be doubling it already tore my hopes are even. but if you re on a bad run like byron you need to know which way will get you back on track. especially against feisty freiburg any thoughts from our. mission. what to do when you can t get into the game when you just want to get off the grounds like chalmette. keep pushing or try something crazy. and shall to turn it around against hanover today i m happy with the mentality of the team. that s when i can see that. the fake smiles trying to fight for the turnaround. hold on tight you just might go on a run. welcome to matchday ten on. both berger facing down a big test that s clear for fans and players alike. league leading toward mentoring town an event flying high at the moment. and want to stay way up at the top of the table with a deadly attack firing on all cylinders the plan is pretty clear just get one more than the opposition. and when that doesn t want. you know as expected well spurs are really tough economy to. stop the forwards and you grounded opens flights to top post but clearly want to impress by the visitors . what is a good team but i didn t i didn t think they played their best game today it s true but in response to him and have to validate a new key to the game the better said to them. thomas delaney. and acts of it s the preferred declining midfield pair of coaches himself for. the two of them knock down the whole midfield which is critical when the goal machine sponsors. well top mines have averaged over three goals a match this was the only one i put away at balls for. one element twenty seven minutes thanks to marco forced with delaney heading in the s.s. to. talk means next big chance came in the matches one minutes but yeah a couple nights and left his finishing perhaps at home. you ve got to finish that first package. here s an interview with. it made it to nil there and i don t know what happened after the half as much fuss passive while it seems clear to us both but had been on good form i don t mind have looked suspect at the back of the top and barely allowed the moves and chances. thanks especially to delaney and fit so. they pressured relentlessly setting off the attack. and they never shied away from tackles at the back. providing perfect cover for dortmund s young back four. and one in jobs on the back they jumped into the attack hit a lady present with royce and then one strange angle. but the past didn t get through the door and often is couldn t find its rhythm against most work. but that s ok right. and you mentioned yeah it was high time we won in a way match one nil like this and it did us a lot of good we feel good about it and the team did very well much as a group. that has policy don t mean to fifteen straight matches without a loss. and a still sore and even if it wasn t a goal fest. in only excitement the coach practically forgot the unusual game when our. young buck oh yeah marco scored with us had. not usually royce s speciality. and if i can score there i never can it was once more. the family celebrated attacking stars know who they really have to thank for these three road points that defense. the brasier top man remains at the top of the table and will hope to remain at altitude next week against i. guess the. frankfurt coach has three lucky numbers at the moment they ve helped turn things around after frankfurt s faltering start to the season number four number eight. and number not the big numbers on the back of his tacking on song. on tape brave huge setback stand on their own us to tell yo bitch. practically scoring it will right now. we have three incredibly gifted defensive players in their own form and working hard the rest of the team fights for and with. the frankfurt had twenty goals headed into their matchups to the court with at least one of the three involved in all of them of the i the trend continue this weekend just ten minutes in and forced to rebounds that there was happy to put away to a coma see what it was i twenty minutes later and the familiar three were running at the stick our defense of the danger seemed clear but your bitch and rate which kept up the pressure. of the back to nil frankfurt with the. stuttgart stale slide as unstoppable as frankfurt s attack the book to communicate if we were not dripping in confidence practically every ball that went to your victory bitch was dangerous to your children david coleman is. was a stock kind of showing in the bundesliga is just not enough. strick arts record under new coach marcos von sydow three games three losses zero goals scored and eleven conceded last in the league are they headed straight for the second division. they rarely threaten even with mario gomez up front so no one s worried about stuttgart at the moment. except their own fans fearing the draw. while frankfurt have lots to smile about with great bitch. angelou call yo bitch they re always dangerous. to have just one of those three are great up top they build pressure force mistakes and allow everyone to push up. they can tackle their speedy perfect for quick transitional play. just four minutes in and the great rich and your bitch had the ball in the next. you didn t count offsides. only the linesman can stop these three. they combined for fourteen shots on goal that s more than stood guard scraped together as a team. but there was a last minute surprise in this match that s three nil was the first goal of the season that the tremendous trio wasn t part of. the nico muhly proof that other frankfurt players can score to. frankfurt back on course for europe thanks of course to their big three attackers when they re on form frankfurt falls. when you win a lot of games and your confidence for just off them for them so you can you can see the future and be more confident forty eight and not taking frankfurt to the top. one go in for her matches a grim shocker statistic. coach to manage her to desk. record purchase bust down. midfield meister now go back to their shock as crisis has many faces. even relegation candidates headed that they shot up plenty of trouble. here they easily thwarted a chance from braille and. it s the worst shocker our friends in fifty one years. but it still has yet to school in moral blue a german national team striker who backed fourteen for hoffenheim last season. me the chip. i was playing well had a chance or two in the first half but then it just wasn t happening as i ve given and then again complaining doesn t really help covens i m thinking this mission how do you turn things around where nothing seems to work your way. maybe helpful confidence like a movie listing from a referee that whistles off to minimal contact in the box. penalty it is. then to let shoulder the responsibility. one know after about an hour the fabled turnaround can finally began. to choke a still up fitful upfront and insecure in the back since switching to a back three. leaders people set up henrik vidal beautifully for the equaliser. or saw his breakthrough already over against ten other who hadn t won away an eighteen league matches. i there was again the creeping feeling of crisis the feeling that nothing works. but little things make a big difference in football. and ballarat truth tried to give and go kind of a clear and then smack in the middle of the crisis. i am going to school just seventeen seconds after one of those people eyes are on lightning quick response i must put his legal teams won t make it as easy as the visitors. after that things were easier for santa who managed to get a massive monkey off his back. i won finally some relief for the struggling striker. has the crisis run its course is this a new beginning for matthew to shop. for to discover. there s a lot to take a lesson that especially the second half where we played attacking football really well we re also good in the back didn t let much through of course we got to keep it up to say we play in the champions league and then we re in frankfurt on the second five of us and. true kind of the made it easy for children who think it was a turning point and maybe they ll go in a bit of a run it won t be easy though as the next one is a good match is away at the event dangerous frank church. and who will shake off the november blues the recently and live until a because he was often high and they seized the better start away leave because it will. snelson the eighteen year old from england with his fifth of the season and a smile. the goal of the weekend. play because an answer ten minutes later and caryn bell robbie s equaliser wasn t shabby either one one. just four minutes later pavel cut a shot that lifted it to joe lynch on. she won thanks to the flying brazilian. after the break you re not on talk clipped jolan tones wings in the box. in chance of grief zero took the ensuing penalty and padded their lead with his first goal for the club three one. leverkusen were terrible but jolyn tone was too good for one with fifteen minutes left to have a home loss that liver couzens hypo careless can t be happy about. is always worth a visit especially for lights and they seem to the olympic stadium twice and brought home for one and six to win. will it continue against the strongest passer in recent memory. to move them up always goes in berlin and this time it was no different one nil up to seven minutes. later tried hard but couldn t get a handle on things. plus somebody was on quite a run. down. he doubled like six lead ten minutes on to the hump. and couldn t since raising strike round the things out at three no. pull in remains leipzig favorite travel destination. even the family picked up a knock. outsports also welcome to troublesome visitors no one backed out sports have yet to beat them at home in the bundesliga. alfred finn bobus only figured it was time to change that one nail in the eleventh minute. north back on course for their first loss about spot. maybe not so alexander folks equalize for the guests in the fifty fourth minute remember his name. the joy lasted five minutes unit time schmidt brought out sport back in front with style and. finally that first home win. but not so fast look at smoke another name to remember made it to tube with just two minutes to go. because most folks where i come from folks me i was born there in a radius of air and then food and music score for us i can t think of a better situation in all of football really going to. new and derek remain undefeated in our sport. with dozens of fans trying to stave off the cold weather and keep warm by the way it delayed kick off and. now goes to see here. until i haue most whistle for a. penalty. and go. to open house i made it look easy one for the hosts after fifty eight minutes. after losses in the league cup got back up back on for. you in a softball made it to nil in the sixty seventh minute. and wasn t finished things are three no luck but when you get. i will listen to whole minds welcoming braman. who happen to be the second best away team in the league but mine says shaun felipe but they don t wasn t intimidated he grabbed his second of the season in the twenty fifth minute. brave and weren t happy about that. shortly after the break phillipe was back on the board but this time it was mine says others wrongfully gone too you know. three men were too slow to wake up the ageless cloudy opens are a made it to one and minds keeper all been sent not made a big save to close out the match. welcome to munich where winter depression is setting in early the results have been there recently but are things really back on track. the biggest topic before a home matches against freiburg used to be how much munich would win by but in the current crisis there seems to be a sense of dread. the old feeling that byron will bounce back and find a way to win no matter what is gone this season feels different. byron s code of speedy winners and quick transitions has been cracked no problem freiburg. and usually levelled off speed would have no problem with that one but the former heroes are the primary protectiveness in the byron crisis. you know some of the most past teams like this would come here and head back home with the clearest. i don t think any of us are happy with how things are. to feel tired we re facing down their third winless liko match in a row freiburg were stable at the back byron used to be able to press until the opponent slipped up not anymore. they re out of ideas and couldn t get into the game or. even set pieces. amount to nothing. nobody s afraid of byron at the moment opponents can sense their vulnerability. coach colebatch finally had a bright idea in the seventieth minute something on thomas miller at least that s what thomas miller s wife called it in an angry instagram post that sparked yet another mini media spectacle for by and. there was a tweet from lisa miller wife of thomas mother about mother substitution that you after seventy minutes finally had a bright idea what do you have to say about. nothing. i didn t have to be this way by or nearly scraped by with the wind thanks to sam s cannot please individual class driver slipped up once and it was one time too many by. one mill with ten minutes to play. in the good old days they would have grabbed a second or even a third and everything would be right in the world again. but even taking believe it can t get rid of the feeling that something is a ride buyer now has something to loose. freiburg believed in themselves till the last breath freiburg were fearless he sought out a gap in the defense. level a shot. super sub lookouts who love to finish it off tribe or bring home a point for music for the first time in twenty one years i like iowa it was awesome to score a goal so well but it took a lot of effort we spent ninety minutes defending we put everything in it and somehow grabbed a point in public and. both tank and sumo with a mile of space between. unbelievably the last eight shots on goal against bahrain have gone in manual neuer hasn t made a save in seven hours. and minutes and so had we won one mill everything would be great but it s one one and now we ve all got to ask questions of ourselves that s just how it works out for us it s all about the next tuesday ams the two before the international break we ll give her all because there are still points up for grabs so again what i get somebody to. byron have now gone three straight without a home with just one week until their clash with high flying dortmund and buyers have lost their usual aura of infallibility will they be able to turn it around in dark times. did you know kick off is now in eugene with the world of football. and was born in mexico. we travel the world in the ring to figure out how high tensions are running i m going to say no the stars for me never people that i discuss football i am pretty serious to. make sure that this is going to go on. there s a football kickoff on you tube. i can see you. dortmund there run alive in frankfurt at the same instant current. events of the match and show us that every game in the bundesliga is up for grabs. just ask fribourg and byers. but for them one of the true hot lights came after the match. after a busy defeated man on oil approaches freiburg coach comes to crunch regulates him and gives him his jersey. cup so i was a i ve got a lad at home and neuer is a role model for him on and off the pitch a lot when i was a high born yet scott even now i can bring him a present be really pleased with it was really nice from neuer that he gave me a jersey for my son he s just a coaching to. pop up also brought a point along from munich. not a bad day out as far as gifts are plenty to celebrate for crunch time like. piers the bundesliga after ten matches dortmund are still on top with a four point cushion it ll stay that way regardless of how next week s battle against fire goes. leipsic and frankfurt all move up. and shock ensure the bottom of the table has some prominent residents kind of i m just not over i m still got prop up the table plan to roughing stop by and fans will want to brace themselves for a match

the bundesliga titles for the first time since two thousand and four a win against labor would push them to second. and we ll take a closer look at league leaders dortmund black and yellow drop points at home for the first time this season. for the start of a familiar story. let s start with the high stakes clash between high flying braman and a leverkusen side that can t seem to find their form this season there are reliving the glory years of the mid two thousand when they also won the bundesliga title a win on sunday would move them up to second and within a whisker of dortmund a loss for buyer would leave them teetering on the edge of the relegation zone all the ingredients for a juicy battle. were flying high on the floor and go for it before this game and a win would have sent them above by a munich but the absence of injured center back nicholas moyes underhook the hosts and after just eight minutes curry better robbie took advantage of some disorganised defending to set up kevin folland playbook using continue to find themselves with acres of space going forward and in the thirty eighth minute they made braman pay once more brands with the emphatic for a new touch to this move. next to exploit the gaping holes in brakeman s back line was kareem better robbie a fine chip over keeper you reprieve lenka to make it three nil at the break in the second half the hosts finally seem to wake up and it was local legend cloudy zero point zero who brought back into the game the oldest player in the league bringing his saw it fresh hope. a comeback really seemed to be on the cards when sacco turned this scrappy corner in just two minutes later but braman continued to offer their guests space behind the defense at this time it was car i have a scoop capitalized the nineteen year old with his second league goal of the season . and still there were more goals to come later cusins alexander drag a bitch nipping in front of sebastian lang camp to save the brain and center back from knocking into his our net. still seem determined to score no goal but this effort five minutes later it was officially awarded to cry have a six to the final score on a disastrous evening for braman laver cruiser meanwhile celebrate their first away win of the season in style. well braman have given us plenty to discuss and i m sorry you ve lots they stumbled to say the least now are we wrong to think that it could lift the trophy this season i think you very wrong i believe to play some nice that they can football you have to brazen miniature golf elsewhere julie introducing that new way of football but to compare themselves is the big boys and i think there is still a lot missing and yes they may be trying to stretch the european places but it s too early to really say that they did bring ed in because of course really it was an amazing result for laver because of their season this season has been appalling to say the least now could this finally be the moment they turn things around well i m not really convinced that is going to be the case i mean anybody that watches the bundesliga regularly will tell you that when things click leyva cures and have got the talent in their squad to blow teams away but i don t think it s a heavy flash in the pan result like this one that s really going to turn their season around i think what they need is a bit of consistency that s what they ve been lacking all season other got blood back in the cup in the middle in midweek and they ve got hoffenheim next week a very tough going but if they can pick up points there as well that s the type of result the. see slowly you know turn this season around because if it doesn t go well i think would you be sat here next week wondering what s gone wrong again as a consistency is the key and obviously for one man in particular i m sure this is given him well a little bit of will say he s probably a little bit more relaxed and that is of course high go ahead do you think this is going to help him keep his job definitely for now at the ready said it s perfect the right. to be in the league during the week in the cope to very very heavy games there is lots of pressure on him no doubt but i think the way he handles the pressure being very collective very calm i like it and i think if you talking again in the weeks time we will know how low or if he will be still a manager for the moment he is still the manager leverkusen but let s cast our minds now back to last season guys with a new coach at the helm the black and yellows of course dormant got off to a roaring start and they found themselves three points ahead of munich. dortmund reached their peak at the end of september with a convincing six one win over bath but then things started to go wrong for coach peter bosch eight games without a win so his side slipped down to eight in the table. a lot of course everybody and of course we re told by brain men just before they were potentially going to be pushed up to second behind dortmund do you think history is going to repeat itself or do you think dorman dortmund are made of sterner stuff this time around completed different situation than last year to having this loser top manager a really good take titian i think that s the key men but also the way they did the trains this year bringing in so absolute top player also. i mean you don t have to talk about him he s goes left right and center and the young guns like police each but of course also son joe that s absurd. so the mix of discord is so strong at the moment there s a lot to come in the near future now ed you ve just heard our man here let s mention of course seems to be a big fan of his do you think he s found the right method for the team to win because i mean they had that great result or in the week of course against you know they ve been in the europe and let it go again so let it go madrid ok they stumbled against had a brilliant do you think something is really clicked with the manager and he knows how to make them go the whole hog and when i do and i think one of the key things he s instilled in this pretty daunting squad is balance we all know how great i ve been going forward this season it s called the most goals of any team in the league of the season but also at the back it s been fantastic that they have conceded the second fewest now there s been a lot of stars in the squad and looks just mentioned but one of them for me has been kimi kimi he was brought in from real madrid nineteen year old moroccan you know starting again basically a big club in germany never been there before though it is a right playing left back now he started five games in the book is a good season he scored once he s got three assists and europe of course he s played one game there three assists against athletico madrid so it s not just the players going for the fans i think it s those at the back of chipping brilliantly as well and the olive started the season very well having just joined for months in the summer too so there s a real balance across the squad here which they didn t have when things fell apart last season and i think if the defense can keep chipping in just as well as the attack they could be dark horses in europe and i certainly think that is the it could be this the lose. of seed there s plenty of positive comments there for from you guys about dortmund because we really need to take a look at the rest of the day s action your birds clash with frankfurt provided a chance for both clubs to pressure on their rivals albeit at different ends of the table and promoted side nuremberg are looking to avoid relegation while frankfurt have their eyes set on european qualification and it was the home side who took the . nuremberg fans thought they d snatch the winner when adam. not at home in the seventy eighth minute the simplest of finishes from the slovakian but frankfurt it back sebastien hala stretching to reach a pinpoint diamond acosta crossed well into injury time all square in the end not really the result either side was hoping for now one team so for a spectacular fall from grace is shall last season s runners up are languishing in the bottom half of the table they ve scored a measly five goals in nine games worse than any club in the bundesliga now their clash against leipzig was yet another disappointment the royal blues rarely looked dangerous only this corner from korea and came so more close to helping the league strugglers find the back of the net leipzig two were far from impressive nil all the final score and another first writing week for. now let s see have those results affect the table dortmund are still top this weekend biron creep up to second followed by an braman who missed their chance to take second down the other end of the table laver coups and move up to twelfth shall go also move up ever so slightly or stuttgart remain bottom of the table. now let s i want to ask you a question about these this table that we ve just seen it s still shocking to me anyway to see shall go down in the relegation zone what do they need to do to bounce back. it s not the best of starts of course but i think i don t agree with you when you see it was a bad game today drawing zero zero in life big i think that s a big result for the next two to go points the i believe still in the right way they re on the right track they have problems scoring but they definitely won t fight for really geisha noles adult they will be up in the top three again but i think the do this as well as high level they really believe in it they don t panic and i think it will get it right in the end of the day and the end of the day ok well i don t want to talk about military which is of course stand there stood guard now they beds back after spending some time down in the second division they have been back now but they re stuck down there at the bottom of the table now what s gone wrong with them while i think it s quick it s off what s going right because i think it s been absolute pathetic and we were just talking about dortmund a minute guys saying how brilliant they ve been all over the pitch while still got in awful all over the pitch they ve already fired their coach a season it s called twit they ve conceded sorry twenty one goals in the games they ve scored just six and mario gomez has got half of those and he s a thirty three year old and beyond him there s no gold anywhere else in the squad and if your defense is that porous and you re not getting goals then you ll definitely be heading down to the second division and i think they ve got a very long slog in store for them until january but hopefully they can bring in some fresh faces while they are still a few months left until of course that comes around in january because i d love to be able to talk to you for hours about this book of course we are near the end of the show looks fun still of course former goalkeeper who spent time all over the world thank you as always for joining us and needs very own ed like a bridge for me and the rest of the bundesliga team here in berlin thank you and

the amount of people and i work at. a low and welcome to focus on europe i m brian thomas francis been shaken by the biggest protests the new years with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets against a president considered by many to be out of touch with everyday people the demonstrations in paris turned violent with a small hard core among the protesters attacking police officers responded with tear gas and water cannon as the crowds tried to reach the elysee palace president mccall s official residence. well it s especially the new tax on diesel car fuel that s bringing together a broad spectrum of so-called yellow vest protesters like. ski they say it s only a small elite who are profiting from. priscilla is on her way to paris to organize a protest she hopes will shut down the downtown area livelihood is on the line. but these are many visitors who paid to sing because we have less and less money enough places to take the fuel tanks it s already very high and they keep on increasing. her car is absolutely crucial for her organic cosmetics business and driving is becoming increasingly an affordable for many people with lengthy commutes to and from paris a few months ago bacilli of the boesky set up an online petition calling for a reduction in the mineral oil tax within just a couple of weeks it had been signed by several hundred thousand people the petition spawned a grassroots movement named after the vests worn by people protesting against president micron s policies the yellow vests now number half a million of them and my now seventy and this is my first demonstration prices are on the up for everything gasoline gas and electricity and two hundred euro short a month but my pension is only increased by three euro s i work for forty two years . that we don t have enough money to feed our children you call that normal i know elsewhere in paris people fail to understand what all the fuss is about downtown residents live a world away from those in the suburbs here many welcome across efforts to support the environment by raising fuel taxes. someone on this issue and the you know vests which we don t have a come and we don t want fun so the tax doesn t affect us the tax on diesel has become a. highly charged issue with less privileged citizens feeling left behind. but the government is standing firm. that doesn t talk although we will adhere to our environmental objectives regardless of whether people like it will need to feel safe but for the yellow vests it s the little people footing the bill most of those protesting voted for mccall in the hope of seeing a more just society now they re calling for his resignation. was. a silly little ski has nothing against environmental protection which he cannot accept is that it s being paid for mainly by residents in the suburbs who are dependent on cars she says the gulf between the center of paris and the periphery between rich and poor is growing the. wrong the. physical and yet the president needs to listen to us and rethink some decisions including to make progress we have to work together. right wing populists have also been trying to embrace the movement the russell amol not so now join the protests despite priscilla s efforts to keep them away. why we support this movement because they re criticizing the same things that we ve been criticizing for years. dude it s environmental protection that punishes french people and that s precisely what mr mahoney wants to make running a car too expensive for normal people don t. after months planning and organizing the protests priscilla is now powerless to prevent nationalists using the movement for its own aims there have been several cases of right wing yellow vests subjecting car drivers to racist abuse and damaging their vehicles for silly is appalled. we don t want people promoting a party s ideology. they can come as regular citizens because this is a citizen s movement. that we don t want them showing up to represent their policy . other parties have also attempted to instrumental lies the protest movement purposively a little ski doesn t want them manning the barricades it s not a question of being left or right wing she says but justice for ordinary french. president micro-loan has responded to the protests by saying he will talk with citizens groups but that the environmental tax will remain although russia has some one million people suffering from aids there s very little social awareness of a disease health officials say has reached epidemic proportions in some areas aids related deaths are on the rise especially among women gay men and drug users in a society that is doing precious little for them some with h i.v. are reaching out to the public in whatever ways

they are infected. prejudices of let s insufficient education to know where nys. your skull i waited eight years before telling my mother the first thing she said was and we had such high hopes in you in other words not any more about the chemo and you know her world being a hiv positive means you re no longer a person reach out here ted. vera set up an association to help get people informed she also offers practical things such as free a chevy blood tests and condoms and also drives out to those hardest hit the so-called high risk groups sex workers and drug addicts. her sosia sion is one of just a handful of private initiatives in the katherine burg vera and her fellow campaigners meet those affected in hidden places. what is your test today is negative no antibodies. but because the unsafe sex you had was only a month ago you need to come by again and i will take care of yourself says where s . my shit i m scared to go anywhere else you don t get a being outed in life or or in most places the infection means shame. even if it s not your fault and i d say the condom torturing sex or if a customer just removes it. and then you start to panic you re the horse the funny i had one such case and say was group really helped me or. outside city hall and you catherine berg to tell his campaigning in a rather different way. he s holding a banner telling people about his illness and inviting strangers to give him a hug if they re not afraid. he wants to bring down the invisible wall that he says has arisen between him and society senses infection. and the thirty year old knows he s taking a risk. aren t you afraid i know i m a doctor and. vera has now provided counseling to over twenty women. women who come to me start thinking about how hiv is now part of their lives the one thing that counselling is my contribution in the fight against the hiv epidemic want us to love the one that would love. it. if only if you re not scared. scared of what thanks. if i get any more people hugging me i ll start crying it s so overwhelming and empowering. vitali and vera have never met but they share a common fate. both are fighting in their own way to stop the spread of aids

we needed one the upcoming climate conference and will be addressing the worst effects of global warming but for some on the german island of longo there is no time to lose doing what they can now instead of a stormy autumn is passing in sunshine. it s not cold right as it s positively tropical for this time of year what is it twelve or thirteen degrees celsius and sunny and about how much of the ice and sunshine in november weighed in the water barefoot no problem. on the north sea island of long ork nothing is like it was before. this past summer was one of the hottest on record for increasing climate change is starting to pose a threat to life on. the sea level is rising and storm surges are getting stronger . as far as long term prognoses go all of the climate researchers all of the serious studies that i read make me fear for our children s future because it s not just my restaurant that might disappear but the entire island. effect invites restaurants right on the beach would be one of the first places affected angered by the politicians lack of action on climate change that act in votes on taking the to court. the sea levels already risen by over twenty centimeters since the one nine hundred fifty s. that means storm surges are higher and the danger for us on the island lies back there. are fresh water lens is located there behind a thin dune ridge. at the north sea breaks through the ridge all our drinking water wells would be contaminated with salt water. already experiences drinking water shortages especially in the summer the island has just two thousand residents but more than two hundred thousand people come here each year on holiday and they use lots of water the natural reservoir nice here under the june. rainwater collects under the sand in what s called a freshwater lens that feeds the wells but the close of the sea comes the small of the lens gets. short time the protective area around the dunes has receded by fifty to seventy metres and we must be careful not to go too far into the valley because then the lens will get ever smaller so that s why people here think the e.u. should be aiming for stricter climate targets right away. so far they are so many of us that we need to get people to come out and join forces the entire island should be sitting here. thank the like to just one of ten families taking part in the people s time it case against the e.u. they come from across europe kenya and fiji. it s about people trying to protect their fundamental rights on the one hand it s about human rights the right to food and water and on the other it s about economic rights the freedom to choose their occupations the ability to continue operating their business or tourist industry. that s the stuff that it s a serious case that aims to sentence the e.u. to greatly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. though it s the offseason michelle has his hands full here i just know it s there this. court the european general court has accepted the case so the legal wrangling can begin there s no financial risk for the plaintiffs their costs are covered by donations. but of course we hope that something good will come of it at first i thought there will be a bit of media hype and that will be it. but now they ve accepted the case and slowly you start to think oh something really is happening it would be great if something comes of it. but who knows. that this is. our first month. and the sooner the better because the sea level continues to rise time is running out for the people. for the e.u. member states bracks it is a done deal but the final document still must be approved by the british house of commons and that is far from certain whether it s an orderly or a disorderly brock s it millions on both sides of the channel are now saying farewell to a decades long partnership for the bracks years themselves until barry though they hope the goodbye will be as quick as possible. will hill knows tilbury well because he s lived here for many years. but he doesn t like his town much anymore the windows up odd kids hanging around on the streets drinking even at noon. the used to work at the docks and made good money but now he has lots of time to think about the police station that s been shut down due to budget cuts it s like that everywhere. the old people feel so frightened you know what it s like to be frightened and. therefore to go out. there everything. nobody helps because if i go about. in a way to reprice but one is only twenty miles away from london. on a clear day you can even see the glittering skyscrapers of the city of london the place where policy is made and lots of money. none of it finds its way to tilbury just down the thames here many people have low wage jobs and much of the work at the ports is now done by machines. many long time residents say they are too many foreigners here that s why so many until brave voted for bracks it and still want it even today. like tell me lawrence you were. not that he s following all of the political drama taking place in the british capital in recent weeks it s beyond comprehension and he s got better things to do. he s proud of his pigeons the poor man s race horses. so much remains uncertain but charlie lawrence is sure of one thing. will and charlie have lost all trust in the politicians when they talk they re full of mr alger for the england evolve. and they re counting on breaks to turn back the clock to the days when told he was wealthy and wise. ass. or know what it was before. we had a good start. we ve got nothing it is can t. it would be easy enough just to write these men office xenophobes but they ve simply been neglected and ignored for too long and want to escape their dire straits but at first while we want to be tough. on more. because because it s all the more because. more grandchildren will benefit without a shadow. there are big plans for tilbury for its course at least it s to be expanded here at the edge of the marge. rob gledhill can t wait he s the third council leader and a firm believer in bracks said he doesn t fear and no deal scenario where britain crashes out of the e.u. with all the ensuing political and economic turbulence. he says even today much of the freight at tilbury schools comes from asia and africa. we will be pretty when it s here already if you re striking because from poll forty percent of it comes from outside of the we re already geared up for that and expansion of the pool and indeed the capacity here means will be a strike over that strike why don t we just be winners. for many young people until very the st mary s boxing club is the only place where they feel like when is the only place that gives them strength. the town has other youth facilities and the british government doesn t provide funding to help keep kids off the street. tell me rusts two sons box here he says the school teaches them discipline something he thinks prime minister to reason may could learn a thing or two about we hear the trays of mice keep this in cash than genuine to stop us doing trade the rest of the world. will be given a vote we vote each and now the politicians are doing what they want so now. the people of england very upset very upset. and people here have much to be upset about residents of tilbury struggle with poor housing put diets and put communities the rich can t just a stone s throw away from london life expectancy is eighty is shorter than in which a part of the country. will spends a lot of time by the thames he even spent his father s ashes here for the former duckling the river symbolizes both his past and his hopes for the future i hope some money does come back and it is down and certain into the town it was it was a family chance. so if it does it does which i m hoping it will but as i said i can t look into a crystal ball i can only hope and wish. people here are pinning their hopes on preg said to bring better days but unless the law changes residents of tilbury looks set to be disappointed. eight hundred kilograms in weight one point six metres in height those are not the healthiest of measurements not even for a cow at six a debate is raging in switzerland right now about the ideal weight for cattle the centrally of couse to swiss life was brought into sharp focus by the recent national referendum on horn cutting by a slim margin the nation voted to continue the practice that many argue was cruel and unnatural so the horns are gone let s find out of swiss cows will now be permitted to keep those extra pounds. of cotton mel is the pride and joy of farmer mathias haute and one of his best dairy cows but like the rest of his herd she has an inborn problem. car mail carrier mel is a special cross breed. she s now four and a half and has produced two calves and is one of our biggest cows she s almost one metre sixty tall fast i mean say schtick. oh sounds impressive the farmer shows us what the problem is his father built a cow shed thirty years ago back then its inhabitants were considerably smaller. in the one nine hundred sixty s. swiss farmers began breeding their cows to enhance their milk output in the process the cows and their utters grew larger and larger. for mathias quote that would mean expanding the shed instead he wants to breed smaller cows. i d like to show your herd and maybe get a few tips. trots and back at work for the association that advises farmers on their breeding plants and i think because they didn t get the big farms with a science related problems like the one of mr holder have to use boots was jeans could use mid sized or smaller costs but this new twenty first century swiss cow needs to be both smaller and more efficient and here are a group of those prized to specimens they belong to and the various elica who runs an organic farm his cows are modest in size and appetite making them ideal for grazing the biggest is one metre forty five tall. seemed to be in my view not smaller cows are more economical. they re healthier and need less fodder. then. but not all farmers think the new swiss cow is the future heinz maya prefers high performance cattle. this cow is being dolled up for an auction a young cow with huge potential. little she has a fan tested and a with perfectly placed heats she s a deal for a fully automated stables and milking systems in mouth amount of. heinz maya is picking out the animals for his next auction among them is penny at one meter sixty five she s around twenty centimeters taller than the cow. as on the organic farm she also produces about a third more milk. he s president of personally i don t have the feeling that we need to new invention. but it seems the future will belong to smaller and slighter cows a recent study shows that in switzerland pasture feeding is more canonical than indoor housing. not only that but those beautiful swiss meadows will make for much happier cows about as well. that s all for this edition of focus on europe i m brian thomas for the entire team thanks so much for being with us and if you d like to see any

may twenty seventh through on t w. forty years after the islamic revolution iran is a country torn between the conservative influence of the clerics and a desire for change. you can go online and find out what s going on in the world in a matter of minutes you can expect the younger generation to stand still young people will move on if equipment. many are pushing back against the country strict social and cultural laws. or there s a new law that says we can only sing in the persian but since we started out we ve always aim to be international international. and many are testing their own limits in their bid for greater freedom. this is the first time we ve done an off road tour that i m going into the forest and spending the night away from home it s great to have. a potentially wealthy country struggling with powerful outside enemies and its own domestic problems. with iran is known to be rich in natural resources but the government can t even manage one i live in a. land of contradictions at once unsettling and breathtakingly beautiful on the mama granites have a bitter skin but there is sweet inside just like iran if you don t. we begin our journey in the capital tehran. home to a population of thirteen million it s the beating heart of the country. we re meeting a fashion designer whose mission is to challenge iran s strict islamic dress code. and in their belts to have a major that moves in the way people dress is like a living museum a marriage to the country that long after the islamic revolution there were only four colors black brown dark blue and grey though his article. and five hundred years ago you give guests colorful fabrics as gifts given. but today i had to time that i thought that in islam black is actually seen as an ugly nasty unpopular color but. if you think it shouldn t actually be worn you know. that i don t know how it came to the us at all. muslim money s aim is to return color to the streets of iran she scours the country collecting antique fabrics and reworks them as fresh and modern outfits. as the money is the ground ever really in fashion a celebrity. but even though she has an ambitious agenda she s also careful not to go too far. so her seamstresses take their headscarves off when they re indoors in front of the camera so money keeps her head covered she doesn t want to trouble with the authorities. now we are going to parliament and the parliament is the place to my partner and of that there folks. don t all think we. should. we accompany the designer on her weekly shopping trip to one of the city s main bazaars. kim and. i came back to tehran from london before the islamic revolution in the one nine hundred seventy nine and at first i worked for a bank. there was a doorman. every morning he tipped his hat when we arrived and greet us very respectfully. after the revolution he ordered us women to stay in our rooms and work together. back then i decided never to be employed somewhere but rather to be my own boss and so that was a political story wasn t it but not really it was just a personal anecdote right with. the conflict over iran s nuclear program has left the country isolated. u.s. sanctions against tehran affect everyone the value of the iranian ryall against the dollar continues to decline making imported goods more expensive. prices are exploding on. intimate friday than i would i say medals a few weeks ago for six cents now they cost eighty cents. i hardly have any customers left women used to come to me and pay the equivalent of seven hundred euros for an evening gown i mean i don t have customers like that anymore and the poor vendors here they have even bigger problems. on the good people of the former latest project milo some money has partnered with a major management consultancy. her glossy fashion magazine lotus is now published in english as well as persian. exalt in iran and a number of select cities worldwide. some money is chief editor for her backer has an international client base. but this particular one i like it because it s about culture five star. is a new thing and this wonderful lady is the pioneer in fashion and she s the first designer to have a run you know. catwalk and fashion show when you want permits by the government. that was the money spent months negotiating with the authorities for permission to publish her designs in a magazine on sale overseas islamic fashion. clothes that comply with standards of modest dress. now is it twenty years and. by teaching. what color and that. is if you will of course. but the fight hasn t been won yet. the money recently signed a contract with an airline to design the flight attendants outfits elegant but by no means figure defining. the design or complains that she s not allowed to send models down a runway that s even allowed in afghanistan she says. that monica bhide. i would be so happy if i had an opportunity to present my work in public like designers all over the world to organize completely normal runway shows so that the fashion world can get to know my work. even if hundreds of women see me as successful personally i have no sense of satisfaction. yet that. small step by small step mom has a money is fighting for reform not by opposing the regime but by securing its permission to show her work. the younger generation in iran has less patience they abide by the rules but they find ways of carving out small slices of their own personal freedom. we meet up with some young iranians in no shah on the southern shore of the caspian sea some two hundred kilometers north of tehran. sealants. for seven years ago i decided to start saving up to buy my own car would i work in a cafe from nine in the morning until eleven in the evening then i d work in a garage making car headlamps until four in the morning. through the local role through goofy kind of. like. i came across these groups of people on instagram who do off roading i was really intrigued and started thinking about doing it myself. there wasn t anyone around here that i knew of organizing off road adventures. did you know that we kathleen moved here the whole. jump she did and his girlfriend should i have been together long they invite us along on one of their off road clubs tours and give us permission to film. it s brave of them to go on camera and for she s going to let herself be filmed without a headscarf. like the war and for young people getting to know each other over whether there are a lot of or just around so this is a perfect spot of a. co-worker. who you think that you deny usually meet up and go for a drive sometimes just for fifteen minutes or half an hour. every two weeks we ll be in a cafe. now and then we meet more regularly but we ve never spent more than two hours together and thought that s had to be done and that would be to me only. one quote. mosquito no shark is a student city and popular with tourists fleeing the stress of tehran. down here in the north the climate is mild the air fresh and the view of the mountain forests are spectacular. the club members have invested a lot of money in their off road vehicles to them off roading is more than a hobby it s a taste of freedom. they get together once or twice a month then head out to the countryside. chaudhary ex father is considered a martyr he died of wounds sustained in the iran iraq war. her mother and her brothers are strict with her they don t know that she s spending the weekend with her boyfriend. come on. i am most proud that on this earth i once told my brother the truth about where i was going but it was no good. i m forced to lie. of course i m worried i ll be found out. but you know normal everyday life is no fun. the worry makes list all the more exciting it makes me enjoy the trip all the more. feeling like you need to be secretive when you want to have a good time is actually cool. this is the first time she has come on a trip with me so i want to be as great as possible the first trip is important i want the first impression to be good if i could. just. see. all these young people were born after the islamic revolution they ve never known another iraq they re well educated and many of them have relatives who live abroad they know what s going on in the world at the very least from surfing the internet jumpseat and should i met online exchanging photos and phone numbers on instagram now and then the government blocks social media platforms but young people take it in stride. time to check out everyone uses social media in iran we couldn t survive a single day without it everyone knows how to get the apps you need to unlock sites that have been blocked so you can get back to surfing because it matters so much to the sap. socializing in. run usually happens behind closed doors or away from prying eyes like at this campsite deep in the woods. religious police raids used to be commonplace these days the regime mostly leaves people in peace within their own four walls but. these young people don t mind being filmed they say we just want to do what young people all over the world do it doesn t mean we don t love our country oh my god. by the vatican it s terrible that most documentaries show around in such black and white terms all despair and suffering and veiled women each other you d think we lived in a communist system and total darkness he has i never show that people in iran a happy to mind and enjoy life despite the restrictions we live with and i said he saw that in him no doubt. that. they re taking a risk that they re willing to live with the consequences for the sake of their personal freedom. that. that. was. was. the. for the next day a few more pictures before they head back home to post on instagram for their friends and to show the world that there is another iran it s not an easy place to live but it s their home. but i guess if i walk down the street like this even women would come up to me and complain it s not just the regime that strict not even the police. if a woman saw me in public without a headscarf and she come up to me and ask why i was going about like that oh wow that s the culture that developed after the islamic revolution if you re through. no one is happy with the way things are at the moment. sometimes when we re together we joke with our elders that it s their fault. and they say it s true but this is not the way things were supposed to turn out or that. you know. some of. the club is already planning its next off road tour the next escape from everyday life it s not easy for young people in iran to live their dreams. that our next stop is mashad a bustling city in the northeast of the country one of iran s most significant centers of religious and political power. it s a public holiday the anniversary of the martyrdom of a mom raising a descendant of the islamic prophet muhammad and the eighth shiite in. the shrine is managed by an extremely wealthy religious foundation an institution that wields a lot of power not only in mashad but also on the regime in tehran. oh i. crowds of pilgrims mark the public holiday by visiting the shrine every year sees some twenty seven million devout muslims visit mashad this conservative reactionary city is an unlikely home for a lively underground rock music scene but as we find out appearances can be deceiving. and dishes sound proofed to small sound studio in his parent s house to make sure the outside world doesn t hear what goes on in here. every day. for me being a heavy metal musician in mashad means living in a dead end if so little of everything i do i do purely for myself and it s not for public consumption. i only do it because of the pressure i feel. this is bob but that reinforces my belief in what i m doing. if it weren t for social media we wouldn t be here now we musicians are all connected via the internet. before i met the others on facebook i felt very lonely and lost. but when i realized there were many others in my position i realized i wasn t alone in the contact we have with one another and also a sense of envy and competition is what spurs us on. a jam session with the band out of nowhere in the basement of a tenement block on the city s outskirts someone always keeps watch outside in case the police show up but down here it looks like a band practice anywhere in the world. i normally if you play a while i play c. is that ok for you. there are thousands of rock musicians here in russia many come from middle class families like a. religious hardliners reviled the western rock they play. and they see heavy metal as the devil s work. on money making music usually lots of people think that metal heads worship the devil and that we re satanists of course we re not it and they think our music is aggressive and incitement to violence and from all that s completely wrong because when i look at us metal heads are the most peaceful people you can imagine so. but people have these fixed ideas which is a real shame with us of on. the . i ve seen lots of bands have their work censored for the authorities tell them that if they want to be approved they need to modify what they re doing i see that happening all the time but in the end the artist doesn t feel it s his own song anymore and doesn t want to play it as. our next meeting is with ray s ago harry who s the same ages and. he was just a boy when he decided he wanted to be a cleric. days ago he wears the black turban of the same descendants of the prophet mohammed. he s a cool a servant of the holy shrine of the memories a who works in the soup kitchen and helps visitors to the mosque. and was going to join friends and i are here to provide everyone who visits with a place to find rest and something to eat. the pilgrims have come a long way and are thirsty and often hungry. they come to my shot out of love and devotion to him on raising. we live here i see it is my duty to serve these people as a. by the judge for they move. on the anniversary of him raises martyrdom has gripped by religious fervor his followers engage in archaic rituals flagellating themselves with chains to mimic his suffering. young men carry the heavy ensign of. memories are staggering under its weight. had i. was even if these martyrs are dead that we can reach out to them. they are here and that there is much we can ask of the a mom s great spirits that good to give and they can fulfill our requests because they rule over the universe that means that boy john said that is what the shia believe in the convoy they have a mission a job many of us come to the a mom s mausoleum to reach out to his spirit and to show respect is missing here by then issuing death. praise or go harry s lives in studies in the amman raise a shrine complex. it encompasses a mosque and the muslim seven courtyards a seminary and islamic university libraries and seminar rooms. i go myself i m going to when we re unable to change the minds of young people who do not share our faith then we organize events specifically for them so as not to lose contact with them just as we offer them jobs taking photos or video recording events or working as drivers we do it to make sure we keep in touch with them i m pretty sure that even high libya vast battle got automation. but we arrange a meeting between reza go hurry the young cleric and under a rock musician and they re both twenty seven they both grew up in mashad. but the two in have a completely different worlds and couldn t be more different still they talk to each other as openly as the constraints of iranian society allow. for thirty years for you so long all sorts of musicians perform here in the park issue but when we apply for a comment we re timed out and we. usually on the grounds of the way we look because the authorities think will intimidate people what s your opinion which. sometimes you might meet a cleric who doesn t even know all the rules of his own religion let alone how musicians such as yourself think. and that s the problem for us that we know far too little about one another so there s instant animosity and. one reason why there are so many hard rock and heavy metal musicians in mashad is the pressure we face. i m always being told what i m not allowed to do i need to write songs to express how i feel and so do many others. and that s the basic principle of rock and metal the more pressure there is the more explosive the reaction. to news the music is rooted in the human problems social suffering these problems can t be ignored. i can t just grabbed on to shape by the collar and order him to get over these problems. that s not how it works. for the sharpness all i ve got there are not many like raised. another cleric would have had very different things to say that was the rule for this the idea that we might all sit down together and talk about ways to improve things is absurd. given the current circumstances it just wouldn t happen hamas militia show. at the fault and. the two men are unlikely to resolve their differences and will most likely never meet again. and. move the huts one isn t. you know i m sure i want to spend the rest of my life in mashad at one point i ll leave but that doesn t mean i ll forget my home i ll come back one day and work in the cultural sector and music or something similar. weapons against or maybe i ll open a music school. but only once i ve gained experience elsewhere i will. show it is a city steeped in both religious devotion and social despair a city that at once repels its children and embraces them. we leave mashad in the north and head south to homo s island in the persian gulf. u.s. sanctions against iran have a special significance here it s a place where the country s international problems play out alongside its domestic once. more i m going to formalize was once the most important port along the maritime stretch of the silk road the island is on the threshold between east and west and used to be beautiful and wealthy whoever controlled hormones island controlled the seas the trade routes from india over africa and the suez canal. on other stories wasn t about to. raise a cooler ronnie s sings of love and suffering he grew up in poverty on homo s island then left and went to tehran where he launched a successful career as a musician. but yet. today he and his band are famous in iran but he hasn t forgotten where he came from and often returns home to the persian gulf where the arabian peninsula feels nearer than tehran. here the many cultural. influences of the countries along the silk road are still in evidence. their women wear color and the traditional face masks of arab iranians who live in the coastal regions. but these people are poor they feel forgotten by their government and ignored by the rest of the world you see the. razor uses his celebrity to organize aid projects here on homo s island enlisting the help of other artists from across the country. in. the city to go we have always been very active here but it s not about self promotion we ve organized cultural festivals to attract more tourism to hormuz to provide the locals with an income so they can have enough to eat so that they don t have to resort to smuggling and risking their lives. riza takes us to meet a friend of his family a fisherman. said i was. his generation sacrificed their youth their families for this country they lived through the revolution and the iran iraq war when they came home they wanted to work so they did what they d always done they worked as fishermen and traders. you would. have to rock mine is fifty as a soldier in the one nine hundred eighty s. he was the victim of a chemical attack along with thousands of others he still suffers from the consequences today. because his medical file was lost he can t claim any kind of state support. that. if i hadn t been wounded in the fighting there would have been a prisoner of war i would be better off now then i would at least get a monthly pension. the state would have given me a house my chilled. and would have work instead we have nothing the children of freed prisoners of war have senior positions we don t we re doing the same hard work we did before. the. family are preparing a special dinner for raising and the visitors from german television. because it s such a special occasion the women are cooking over the wood fire outside but at the gas stove in the kitchen. they ve served up a feast spicy rice with lentils and prawns fried fish and fresh salad. with their here and foremost we re sitting on the biggest natural gas reserves in the world but the people here have nothing gas from formalises transported to carom on terror and tabriz. you the whole country gets gas from hormones you know but here on the island there aren t even any pipelines people like up dollar a month myself and others are forced to take gas cylinders to filling stations and carry them home on our backs so that the women can cook you know. it s not as though that was going on where they were for. as children they would always run off when their mothers wanted to send them to get gas. the cylinders were so heavy. oh no dear residents of hormuz the price of gas is going up. there is none for now . please do not knock. sometimes there s no gas for a whole month if the weather is stormy and the ships can t sail it s especially bad in winter. that is the one where that s what life is like here the mother. didn t go for. bush no gas but at least there s time to chat and grumble about the sorry state of affairs. she. left to run on works day and night to ensure he catches enough to feed his family. his son can t get married he tells us because the family can t afford to pay for the wedding. and he has no idea what will happen when he s too old to work so a lot of their fishing has taken a turn for the worse in recent years the seas are over fish to because three years ago the chinese were awarded industrial fishing licenses fish and shrimp stocks have fallen dramatically as a result. of. the rock mine couldn t live from fishing alone so he began ferrying goats and fabrics to the arabian peninsula and smuggling cigarettes back to iran. eventually he was caught and served a lengthy jail sentence for smuggling they arrest a few poor people and then brand everyone in the south as smugglers of course smuggling is an issue but now there are sanctions against the oil trade and life will become even harder people here need to look after themselves and think about the future we have to come up with something. very well so one of them will be. but fishing is the only job he s ever known. he only sells the best of the catch and keeps the rest for his family. today he sells just two hundred fifty grams of king prawns. today was terrible. i ve even had to pay for fuel out of my own pocket. but still i m grateful. if the government would pay a bit more attention to this rage that a miracle could happen. i m serious. people here in the south are very hospitable despite the poverty. there is amazing heritage here and they look after it well. that s something that s wonderful and rare joy. but the iranian government is more interested in the strait of hormuz a short sea corridor between iran and oman of major strategic significance. one third of global oil production passes through it every day. shipments that tehran could block if it so wished. the. decades of isolation and the controversy over iran s nuclear program have also left their mark on is fun the most popular tourist site in iran. the historic city on the edge of the desert is known as the pearl of persia. one hundred square is unesco world heritage site and draws visitors from all over the world. the carpet store owned by the huggy family is a local landmark. of clothing and we ve been decorating our floors with carpets for centuries. but they re more than decorative. carpets play a big role in our lives and babies are born on them and we sleep on them. life unfolds on persian rugs even if these days we sit on chairs and eat at tables . before the revolution this where was teeming with tourists as far as the eye could see it was a bustling place. but it s not like that anymore i don t want to be negative but i have happy memories of those times i wish things would change. in the past the famous people from all over the world would visit the square with their entourages . they would put barricades up around the square and there would be public celebrations. nothing like that has happened for ages. i wish the country would open its doors to the world again. the huggy family has been hand knotting persian carpets for one hundred twenty years their customers have included kings and presidents. faisal know how he is a master of his craft before he begins making a carpet he first sketches a design on paper. his workshop is just around the corner from nash. now seventy six has worked together with mr for the car for fifty years they ve been friends since their school days. this is what we want to. be for the carpet is not it the designers create what s called a cartoon a sort of rugged map on paper. each square represents a single not. we used paint and brushes and calculate each individual not to do that if we mark exactly how many knots and which color will be knotted her rogue. the secret of a good carpet is mathematics. next door the next generation is hard at work they are not using paper and paint brushes but touch screens and digital pens. sons are also carpet designers carpet making has traditionally been a male dominated industry but he s also training a young woman. this way color can be corrected with one simple click but it s still meticulous work. even on the computer each individual not has to be marked. whether the designs are drawn up on paper or the computer screen they end up to sectored into pieces and stuck on wood to be used as a reference by the rather daughters in the workshop. and with. this one will be forty square metres. eight by five. it s a work of art. because it s a work of art i can t name a price. it s only when it s finished and is appraised by experts that a price will be set. it s one of a pair the first is already finished. the women have been working on them for two years. i think they ll need another seven or eight months. and according to the book if you want to be successful you must be creative. that s what i tell young people that s what i tell my students all the co here is a very talented she ll be qualifying as a master crafts woman soon but it may give the. twentieth another day but in time as i grew up in a family of doctors lawyers and engineers to begin with they didn t want me to study art but once i graduated from school all of a sudden they let me later i found out that my grandmother had argued my case she was very interested in kaput she died when i was still in my first year of my studies in the us. i think of her every day when i work here i count on one housemate. phrase all hugging he has three sons they all studied abroad computer technology architecture art and design. but they all came home to carry on the family tradition they learned from their father and develop their own styles these days their designs are on sale in the shop the most valuable rug is worth thirty thousand euros and was made by faisal a huggy himself it boasts one hundred forty knots per square metre and is made of fine silk it s beautiful but he hasn t found a buyer. by the in quite a hotel room after president trump imposed sanctions sixty percent of the people in this industry lost their jobs at the club we re no longer allowed to export our carpets we can t trade abroad. mr trump thinks he s fighting our government but all he still. going is destroying the livelihoods of normal people. and then he s so proud of himself and what he thinks he s achieving. things all huggy says thinking about iran s economic plight makes him sad. he goes out to his pomegranate orchard whenever he can it revives his spirits here he can recover his optimism that his children and his country might one day have a brighter future for. the pomegranate it is a wonderful fruit look how close the seeds are to one another. just like the people of iran with my common ground it is sweet inside but the skin is bitter like our current economic situation. but it s important we stick together and really we are very warm hearted be able to this nanny. a. little. closer. closer. look at the name of. reliable data in the gulf. news in the distance for the closest

you re going to love the german head coach of an absolute liverpool tells it like it if it s in an exclusive and. mock him sixty minutes on the w. and. some time in the twenty six to you my great

this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the votes are in and counting is underway in malawi s election the people came out in droves to choose a new president we know this is a nation hungry for change learn why it s one of the world s poorest countries. added congo a reception for moist good to be back in the country after 3 years in exile but how significant is the return of joseph prominent folk. and christine with a welcome to news africa i m glad you re chewed in votes are being counted in malawi s general election that is too close to call the winning candidate must gets the most votes cost but is not required to receive more than 50 percent off those votes incumbent president faces stiff competition from he s the vice president. and from the leader of the main opposition party lazarus. now about 70 percent of malawi s population of roughly $20000000.00 people live under $2.00 a day that s according to the international monetary fund we also versus what they expect from the government to come in the next government to improve you know education sectors and we also want. to also want them to empower those those youth that have talents we see the young people we need law in order. to improve our lives for myself i think. nowadays i don t have any trouble with it what i tried to do different kind of businesses but i was unable to say to those businesses because even going to the bank i got. into the. government to expect our new government to create jobs you know most of what we want to good life. is a current for more on malawi have liked to bring in political analyst andrew basi he s joining me now from. africa andrew we re talking about malawi that is one of the poorest countries in the world in 2019 going into this election be calling me a jobs as we ve heard from people all of the main issues but why is that the case why is this country still one of the poorest in the world. they number 5 does that make malawi to be one of the poorest countries i think the 1st one is that. there s been a did i should bankruptcy in this country i think when we changed it from when we got our independence i think and then to 64 and we we were under one but regime there was progress that was shown but when we. ducked into the mud by the democracy in london and therefore the leadership that we have since 99 to 4 has not actually given this country. on how we re going to develop on mobile from ready. to do development so the leadership bankruptcy in this country can be blamed for for the poor development about we are experiencing in this country ok so i was there is a cultural thing but i want to get to the point about the current incumbent president piece in which he he once a 2nd term how has he fared in these 1st term and does he deserve another. to be honest with you he doesn t deserve another time i ll be honest with you because his government has been attended with a quarter of show since he started his government in going to 14 when you did newspapers almost every day in india but us did was the corporations that have been a lot of what i ve shown must about use of resource they probably going to sources i mean when you look at even the devolvement of this country in terms of the infrastructure of this country we have not actually moved quite as we expected and also really so that that s out there has been missed the most a good is charted with this government ok this is so with that then you ve got 2 main contenders challenging was that he didn t do any of them perhaps often malawians something better than what what s currently in office. the differences between the 2 frontrunners is that the current one is the president of the country he was part of the debate big government he was but what they did with the gender so in other words they took the wire of the main opposition they ve been in the opposition for quite some time although his new on the state has been in the lead over the position but when you look at the 2 they took out you see that maybe the main opposition got something because they have not been interested in terms of their ruling but when you look at the 3 main contenders you. resistant to if you choose to either the president or the incumbent president or the incumbent vice president what change can be brought to this country otherwise. the average form is the same. that is. the analyst joining us from a long way thank you for your insight. to the democratic republic of congo where the winds of political change now 4 months after he was inaugurated president felix you say katie has named a new prime minister that will be sylvester. is a veteran political operator we ll have more on him lace at the same time weiss who has often been described as the 2nd most powerful man in the d r c has returned to the country from 3 years of political exile take a look now at his journey. after 3 long years in exile. or was just a few steps away from a triumphant welcome home on congolese soil he had clear words for the people of his homeland and thousands of waiting supporters. to pull up bridge over here it s for peace i ve come back for peace and reconciliation in our country and above all to defend the interest of the congolese people and to defend our constitution and the constitution of. the 2nd largest city is on home turf the wealthy businessman of greek and congolese origin became the 1st democratically elected governor of the mineral rich province of catan got in 2007 he s credited with reforming the region s economic fortunes before it was broken up in 2015 with a long record in office he was an ally of former president joseph kabila until the 2 fell out. khatami left the d.s.e. in 2016 and was convicted of property fraud in absentia he denies the charges but was prevented from standing in the long delayed 2018 presidential elections that folks saw felix ciszek 80 elected as president in the country s 1st peaceful political transition since independence in 1960 khatami s a latest indited opposition politician to be cleared on the cheek it is administration the homecoming rejected government plans to change the constitution took place constructive politics for the future. well it s all beyond today there is a government which is in place and we have to give it a chance because we ll be a real opposition exeunt to be made it clear he won t be joining she katie s new government calling to victory richt even so he says a d c needs national cohesion to move forward. let s bring in wendy back she from d.w. africa hi wendy good to see you so casually received iraq styles welcome but how significant is he is coming back to the country politically how exactly do you know that you did it in ways that goes back in. in the tree here exactly yes. and he had a great coming people was waiting for it especially at the end of that this is a part of it yes and he was really happy to go back and before you get to germany said that he s going back to greatest people and you want to be next to the nation and to change so many people waiting for the team there you can go down and especially at the back of the call but we don t exactly want to meet i ve been made space effect and more is going to be said that he gave deal to raise issues of the new president of the congress that maybe there would be in irons. ok but what we do know so far is that that s only a sort of aligned himself with martin fire you know he lost to just a candy but finally hasn t accepted the outcome of the election while khatami appears to be assuming a more sort of conciliatory tone oh is that partnership going to hold between 5 and had to be. this is a great question because today and yesterday money s got to me give me any interview and if you want them just say that is not the constitution that caught any wanting to remind my team failure that they were kind of didn t call him decided actually that spending s you think it is that your president and this is really important in the new speech of what he s going to tell me because this is a signal for math to fail all right still clearly he s day elected president of the country but this speech of noise got to me yes and it changed everything and i think it s a big message formatting for you do we actually like and out for a while in the same way the ship got so let s wait elegant next month but i don t play it with that of you was white yesterday ok very interesting but very quickly when they get this in here president you say katie just announced a new prime minister who is he and is he up to the task so does this new prime minister have been the people was waiting for in. florida after the election of it is you see katie we just have to know that do you miss your dad has the big experiment. you used to work when you go to do it the day before we would talk he also works with you that. they ve got you know and we need to remind people that even though i was appointed but the base was there could be that will give this existent to. the. we need to feel bad when we can say from today that the fact that the guy had a great experience qualities and i merely said for the problem is it s very. 78 years old so this is also maybe a small problem ok when the africa thank you for that. now it s just rory that i m guessing has everyone talking in guyana just a few weeks before the upcoming africa cup of nations. has announced his retirement from the national squad it appears the issue is about the captaincy the 33 year old sage in his statement that if the decision of the coach is to give the captain seat the tournament to another player while i m named if this team all squads of the tournament i wish to recuse myself from the tournament now john is gone his all time top scorer with 51 goals for his country he was a key player at 3 world cups and everyone in gonna remembers that cruel penalty miss in 22 and i remember it too and there s been a lot of reaction to xians to decision and it s since been trending on social media on the continent we have this is a brave who writes on twitter that some or g.m. is a legend that there will be no one like you said dick adams treated i love a similar human i ve stated he is the best the greatest he ll say that as caps and she didn t give up. and that s where we ll leave it for now from africa as always you can catch it all stories on our website and facebook page well leave you now with some more pictures of the great goals for us in malaysia to
