please please please please please explain. to me. this is d w news live from berlin do you want issues that urgent new warning on climate change it says we must act now to prevent disasters that will occur if global temperatures rise much further it s called the next few years probably the most important in human history. also coming up for by politicians i are both sonata has won the first round of brazil s presidential election he will face a left wing candidate for not doha dodd in the runoff in three weeks time a dog has warned of voters that pose an otto is a threat to democracy and u.s. backed kurdish troops step up the battle to expel the so-called islamic state from a stronghold in eastern syria these troops are preparing for their last charge here in syria against right as if they would within the next weeks is going to be a turning point for them that s why they re preparing every day. d.-w. is embedded with the n.t.i. as a coalition and reports from the frontline plus china opens a bribery investigation into former interpol chief magna holiday this is just days after the chinese nationals wife reported him missing his last message a nice. and it was a memorable sunday in the border state as life state overwhelms an armed guard at frankfurt were reduced to ten men but they still beat hoffenheim. i m sorry kelly welcome to the program u.n. climate scientists have issued their strongest warning yet on the risks of rising temperatures they say that we need to take unprecedented steps to avert the worst effects of climate change and that we need to take those steps now they include changing the way that we consume energy travel and construct buildings and if we fail to act we will face more heat waves flooding extreme weather scenes like this could become more frequent if the world does not act now that s the message of scientists on the un s climate change panel whose job was to work out what governments must do to implement the promise accorded twenty fifty. first climate change is already affecting people ecosystems and library which all around the world. second the median warming to one point five degrees is not impossible but will require precedent to transitions in all aspects of society third there are clear benefits to keep warming to one point five do research as compared to two degrees or higher every bit of warming matters. the goal needs to be implemented by twenty thirty but scientists fear will fail to hit it will immediately fact a failure will be more global heatwaves resulting droughts would mean poor harvests impacting the global food supply and harming countries that rely heavily on agriculture. or other parts of the world would suffer from an increase in heavy rains and hurricanes these weather patterns combined with rising sea levels could lead to more frequent and severe flooding the scientists on the un s panel say it s the final call the government s everyone must act the message is over to governments that stage we ve told you before you the scientific facts the evidence the course it is up to the governments no to decide what to do with it. avoiding scenes like this will be hugely expensive so the scientists but it has to be done and it s still possible if the world acts now. and we are joined now by dean dean she is the head of the environment team here and sonia i mean warnings about rising temperatures about climate change are not uncommon but how what is different about this report and why should we be so concerned. well it seems that this one point five degree limit is a lot more important than was originally considered so the difference between one point five and two degrees of warming is really a massive difference as this scientific report has now shown take for example coral reefs under one point five degrees they ll survive there will still be some reefs will lose seventy to ninety percent of them but there will be some there under two degrees we re looking at almost a complete decimation ninety nine percent of all the coralie reefs will be gone and that is a complete huge implication for people s livelihoods for food security people who live off the sea so that s just one example of how this difference actually is a lot more significant they re saying one point five is the new two degrees the report also calling for dramatic action like transforming the economy at a speed on a scale that has no documented historic precedent what does that mean. well the skill you could say is presidents have because if you consider how our societies have changed over the past centuries and how our energy systems have changed how our mobility has changed that has actually that scale has been seen but what would be new is the speed with which it would have to take place because basically with the massive cuts that would be required for one point five degrees we re talking forty five percent by twenty thirty so basically the next few years will be very decisive for the future of whether we can still attain this limit or not and we all know that i mean one of the issues right now is really a political well by where we re seeing some opposition to the paris climate accord among some governments around the world but what can all of us do ourselves. well the most important thing is do something don t just sit there and close your eyes and imagine that this isn t happening because it is happening it will dramatically affect us and affect our future generations so take action and probably the most effective thing that you can do is come together with other people and demand. of our governments that they take action that they implement the policies that need to be implemented hold our politicians accountable of course voting in the right people as well those are all things that we can do song again the head of environment team thank you. it s time for business with ben physical and we are also talking about climate change today very true this is nobel prize for economics has been awarded to two researches for their work on climate change and innovation the royal swedish academy of sciences said that u.s. economists will you know house and a received the award for their work integrating innovation and global warming with economic growth along with a prize the two researchers will receive a million u.s. stole as economics prize is not fully a nobel prize it was created by the swedish central bank in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine in memory of how for no. i don t have a comment from to get your business joins us to tell us more about these two guys again now the two men who ve won the oil and exactly tell us a bit more about these mit so william nordhaus of yale university he s called the father of climate change economics he s been doing this kind of research since the seventy s he s a true pioneer in that field and then we have full roam of new york university he s more looking into innovation technological change and how this drives growth they ve both been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for a couple of years now and to finally have and i guess it s interesting that he s been working on this topic for such a long time because it gives him a really good insight into how things are changing but tell us more about what they ve specifically been rewarded for so nordhaus is essentially asking how can we grow the economy without destroying our planet you know this is the question he s set up a model in which he sees an investigates the connections that the economy and the climate have and in that with this model you can predict how policies like a carbon tax that has been discussed for many years now what effect that would actually have a global warming. on the other side as i said before he s talking about technology and how this affects grow. he says ideas are very central to keeping growth alive but only in certain circumstances it is that ideas can actually you know come to life so what circumstances are these that s his research of ok so in other words it s not always a good idea may not always be good or good for the environment at least now i find it very interesting that this announcement comes on the very day that climate activists saying we ve really got to do something now to save our planet is the timing a coincidence i mean absolutely the report that came out underlines once again that is one of the biggest challenges that we re facing and i think this prize just shows the economy is such a big contributor to climate change to global warming so it actually just makes sense to look for solutions there and the committee has awarded these these two economists who are looking for answers on exactly these big questions so the timing is just right thank you very much for coming in today this is winners of the noble economics prize as you heard there william nordhaus and paul roma thank you very much for such a school for pre-set entered changes to find global warming the international energy agency has issued its annual report it says even though the share of green energy is growing around the world by twenty forty were new bills will account for just eighteen percent of the energy use well short of the agency s sustainability target. renewables will be the fastest growing part of the global elec tricity sector the report says they ll provide almost a third of power demand in twenty twenty three from about a quarter in twenty seventeen renewables currently make up more than thirty percent of germany s energy makes us almost forty percent of the country s energy needs are still met by burning coal. thirteen percent comes from atomic power stations compared to about a third from a nubile energy like wind and solar power. and other sources top up the rest of the energy mix. for love for new bills are forecast to account for more than seventy percent of growth in global elektra s city generation according to the international energy agency s reports. solar photovoltaic technology followed by wind hydro power on bio energy are expected to lead the field in terms of growth but hydroelectric power remains the largest renewable source meeting sixteen percent of global elec tricity demand by twenty twenty three. but despite the growth in the renewable sector the i.a.e.a. warns it won t be enough to meet long term climate and sustainability goals the agency says the areas which are not moving to a new bills quickly enough are transported and he s saying vote for home fund industry. thank you so much ben we re heading to brazil now because far right politician. has won the first round of brazil s presidential election grabbing forty six percent of votes he will now face a runoff in three weeks time against left winger fernando had dodd who finished a distant second. to attract support by promising to fight corruption and restore what he called traditional values his opponents say he poses a threat to democracy and the largest country in latin america. so not all supporters believe he s going to turn the country around and sunday s results gave them reason to celebrate their candidate share of the votes surged past pollsters predictions i guess the country is under siege within the government and on the streets we need to end this and he s the most capable of doing so no doubt about it now on my son. was a big problem in the images i m sure jackie was not the only one was. also narrow didn t appear in person after the election results were announced the full military officer was staffed at a campaign rally last month and doctors are still wary of his health but he did appear on social media. i m sure that in the second round we will intensify our efforts and will obtain the victory. the sixty three year old has vowed to crack down on corruption and criminals. but opponents have condemned incendiary comments from boston are all about women and minority groups during the campaign. also now is also being criticized for his plan to give police officers a free a hand to shoot drug traffickers his price for the military dictatorship the group brazil from nine hundred sixty four to nine hundred ninety five has also alarmed critics. i his opponent a leftist candidate for nando how says electing a ball so narrow could pose a risk to democracy i told supporters he would now concentrate on the second round and called for calm. doesn t mean we will face that debate with respect we go on to the democratic battlefield with just one weapon the argument we don t carry guns out of those who are the final runoff for the presidency as shadowed for the twenty eighth of october. and also lotto success marks another notable victory for. and populist in global politics and as you have already heard social media is playing a key role called last night of course from data via social media and therefore is joining us now to break down how exactly this happened because any wellstone r.-o. he was really regarded as a french figure right even though he has been in the brazilian congress for almost thirty years. how has bee he been using social media in particular to boost his profile i mean he s been around he was a mayor for a long time but still kind of relatively unknown mission you can see his rival fernando dodd has only a little around you know a quarter of a million that s a big difference a huge difference and that s something that both sorrow was able to use as kind of a big edge for him you know he s not backed by a big party doesn t have those typical resources that you would otherwise have the traditional resources instead he really did use facebook to get his message out there and to get his voters out there in fact after that near fatal stabbing last month that we heard about he kept campaigning and he did so on facebook take a look actually this is from his hospital room he went live on facebook with a video he kept broadcasting several speeches interviews live on facebook these god more than million more than a million views per video and this was actually instead of going to the most important t.v. debate so he kind of avoided the criticism instead took to facebook and broadcast it live he has a big backing as well from several high profile brazilians on social media famous brazilian footballer ronald denio has expressed his support on twitter for him and you know social media it s a family business as well one of his sons who is also a politician has a big twitter account he posted recently a picture of steve benen president trump s former campaign adviser so clearly using some trumpy in tactics by going straight to social media going straight to the people but what about the role of social media and spreading so-called fake news yeah i mean that is definitely a problem in this election in brazil is a big focus from facebook and mark zuckerberg but really it s on whatsapp that are you see a lot of this. new spreading is used by more than half the population of brazil one hundred twenty million people are on one stop and this is the main battleground there for fake news it s so hard to combat because all this is happening in closed groups of supporters we can hopefully show you just one example of kind of what we re talking about when it comes to fake news this is a video that was circulating why leave had millions of views supposedly it shows people attacking a car because it had a pick sticker in the window supporting olsen or oh turns out that s not true this is from twenty seventeen this was a protest against the current president michel tame air that video was actually finally debunked then by a group of journalists in brazil they ve been working all campaign long called come prova they re trying to debunk this sort of fake news that s out there and spreading on social media but you know the descale is so big and the impact is really hard to judge because whatsapp you can just really hop in like facebook is not public these are private messages that were not happening in about two weeks those checkers will be busy there is more stuff out there and clearly the campaign is heating up lots of emotions now and as so much happening online cost and putting it into perspective for us thank you so much for. that a quick check of some other stories making news around the world turkey has demanded to search the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul for a dissident saudi journalist according to local t.v. reports he disappeared last week after a visit to his country s consulate turkish authorities believe that he was killed inside of the building. around one hundred twenty migrants have arrived in malta after being rescued in the

bodies have been recovered since an earthquake and tsunami struck two weeks ago they fear that the number of dead could rise as thousands are still unaccounted for a lot correspondent and heartache reports from the city of close to the epicenter of the disaster he s been following the efforts of one family to locate their nine year old son who is still missing. but. he was wearing jeans and a great t. shirt i saw him there that night after the earthquake he didn t tell me his name and he was just crying and looked afraid. a new glimpse of hope for omar and his wife me so they were separated from their nine year old son rod and when the earthquake and the tsunami struck since then they ve been looking for him around the clock not knowing if he s still alive now they think because a break from the time of the record governor my hopes up. that one of our relatives says he saw my son with his own ice wearing a gray t. shirt and jeans now i feel more confident that he s still a life. being a limousine. you do they follow the lead. let me fire someone so my child here in the area around the often you will great. get by i think i saw him over there he was getting water. there but whom are loses no time. about it. but rodman is nowhere to be found. but i daren t. day after day of uncertainty and stifled hopes for me said it s becoming harder and harder to take. me and my son always together whatever i went he was always with me why did we get separated. when. you have to keep praying. maybe he got help from someone. some of his friends don t give up i m sure your son is still alive. but you need posted pictures of rotten on facebook she went to the police to rescue service the local radio station so far nothing but dead ends. this is in an aegis national search and rescue agency and this is where nice it came to report her missing son because on social media was purported that if people want to find out about the fate of their family members this is where they should turn to now we re here to find out what happened to me says report. were shown the missing persons record. meaning not exactly a high tech database helpers priority here is search and rescue but they ve had some successes. out of. the rubble so far we were able to find some twenty people from these lists who are still alive. the. unfortunately rotten so far is not among them his name is still on these lists but lisa says she knows her son is still alive it s only a matter of time before they find him. you know i can never have i won t give up. i always think about the time before the earthquake when we were together all the time my husband my son and i and i m sure it can be like that again and support the it. so she and her husband still keep on searching that because they know it s somewhere out there they ll find their missing something but i feel. and when to say good news now and on sunday rb leipzig pummeled norm bergen a one sided affair the ball splashed home six goals lifting the club to second in the band to see. if nuremberg coach michel kona couldn t believe what he was saying pre-match he was in for a rude awakening come kickoff let s see when to head off to just three minutes team event with the leg work kevin kapil with the finishing touch. i call conversion box keeper five pm pred should have done better just four minutes later use of pulse and made it to nil five was then or again the playmaker cosen netting his good goal in two games. after twenty one minutes it was three nil muscle some of it s a smashing home on this occasion. and the not their first half was an over thing nuremberg as vanno made it a full five. nuremberg defense all it see. brad blauser struggling to wake himself up heading into the bright. the morning continued in the second half saw that so with his second five of them and then according the aussie on the cake to make it six nailed by. it was lot six biggest ever win in the bundesliga of the full color nuremberg it was yet another haas footballing lesson. also on sunday frankfurt and hoffenheim went into their clash with identical bundestag of records right down to the goal difference frankfurt came into the match after a big win and europe and continued their fight in form with another victory. both union knuckles man and i.v. hooks are rotated following european action in midweek after a slow start the game suddenly came to life around the half hour mark hoffenheim went post to scoring twice but laying out a bit in court and then karen demi a by were denied by the woodwork. frankfurt were more clinical u.k. yo bitch put and say read it through and go and be made one nil by the croatians third goal of the season off and i m keeping all of the bowman might want to watch the replays. after half time the visitors doubled their lead this time you know which supplied the finishing touch himself again keep about him and could have done better but then in the sixty fourth minute rate which received his second yellow card with the man advantage hoffenheim pushed forward and substitute rhys nelson made it to one. but that s as good as it got for the hosts another big two defeats for you leonardo s none. of the yellow tie footballers who made headlines around the world when they were trapped in a cave have been honored by the international olympic committee the wild

they killed many civilians in the irish coming including my father sometimes i was a student i wanted to build a life for myself. but suddenly life became relish a kind of song. providing insights. that matters w. me for mines. welcome back here in news i m sarah kelly in berlin our top stories the u.n. has issued its dark and starkest warning yet on climate change in a new report it says that the world has been a little more than a decade to take radical and warming measures will face disastrous consequences. a final push is under way to take back territory still controlled by the so-called islamic state it is hoped that this will be the final chapter in the war against the terror group that started more than four years ago in syria the group holds a sliver of land in the east of the country the region is around the small town of hygiene not far from the border with iraq and alliance of kurdish an arabic militia the syria democratic forces together with the help of the u.s. backed coalition are trying to capture the iowa stronghold now the u.s. military invited reporters were good to shoka and to far of dual covering to see for themselves what s going on. these recruits are here to liberate the last areas in syria held by islamic state in just a few days the young men from the syrian democratic forces will be transferred to the front about thirty kilometers away. these troops are preparing for their last fight here in syria against i as if they win within the next weeks it s going to be a turning point for them that s why they re preparing every day. marching shooting practice and tactics the u.s. estimates that up to two thousand fighters a still entrenched in hygiene. the twenty four year old commander of the kurdish arab militia is rallying his troops for the bloody battle ahead. i ve lost so many friends so many i can t count one died in my arms and another right next to me there were so many. the u.s. invited us to visit the s.d.f. as part of the press trip with the group is us commander of the special operations forces in iraq and syria major general robison since twenty fifteen the u.s. led coalition has been supporting the kurdish arab militias in their fight against the so-called islamic studies with the air raids weapons vehicles and training. the offensive against the lost iowa stronghold operation round up has been running for for weeks now but the militias a making slow progress ah yes fighters have dug a tunnel system under the city set up combat positions in residential buildings and mines everywhere. isis is brutal they ve basically booby trapped. any structures they can and they ve laid out minefields everything is basically you know rigged as we say so that s a challenge that s all we take most of our casualties we trained you know. the techniques we ve got vehicles but it s a challenge. everybody appreciates. the world thank you. bought the s.t.s. it might not be an easy partner for the u.s. many of the fighters support the band could ish workers party p k k which is on europe s and washington s terror list locals also accuse the militia of forced recruitment when question s.d.f. command is tennis. we don t force anybody to join. the commander prefers to talk about how we ll co-operation is going with the u.s. and that the n.t.i. is coalition will be needed on the ground in syria for some time. because. we need stability in this whole area we cannot achieve this without coalition troops. this message is echoed to us by the u.s. commander even after a victory in haji in the mission here is far from over u.s. troops will still be needed. in the remnants of isis there are small pockets small they call sleeper cells here so i think those are things that we have to basically clean up on the back side of all of us so again you ve heard about the enduring defeat of isis so it s not just their so-called you know physical area that they control in order to prevent a resurgence of i.a.s. local security forces would have to be trained and civilian structures established no one here is willing to say how long this could take where the months on here is where left with the impression that it s more likely to be. and for more i m joined here in the studio by the that is by going to shoko one of the co-authors of that report in fact we just saw you there in that report what was it like to be embedded with the u.s. troops there and war torn syria it was very interesting because we got to. see the situation on the ground where you talk to many people and we got a very good side on the u.s. perspective of this complicated situation in syria but as a reporter it was not that easy because our movements were very restricted its forces had chosen the locations we could visit and most of the people we could talk to so. so to get a broader view we also tried to speak to other people but this was all be possible on the phone to get their view on the situation in iraq and also in hygiene and as we heard you talking about hygiene of course this is the last rebel stronghold you know what is the situation like there for civilians were you able to get a sense of that would we hear it is that there s still thirty sauza civilians in the town and s.t. s has tried to secure a puff out and they have asked the people to leave the battle area and go to a secure refugee camp but so far only one hundred fifty families have arrived there so many people don t want to leave the talent because they re afraid to lose their property and sources from inside haji told us that i as is trying to trap the people inside town to use them as human shields and that makes the mission to liberate hygiene from my is so difficult because u.s. forces told us they re trying very very hard to distinguish between civilians and fighters and to verify their targets but as i asked has this fighting positions inside homes inside buildings it s very very hot and i think there will be more civilian casualties definitely some short term term challenges there but they do seem hopeful that they will be able to retake this area you correct me if i m wrong there therefore that leads me to what is the long term strategy for fighting i asked because it s not just about territory anymore is it no not at all there are in iraq as we ve heard there s still sleeper cells operating there and what the u.s. is doing is trying now as in the first step to stabilize the region they flow rated from i.s.o. they try to work together with civil councils they try to train local forces on the ground they try to. because the bottom line is that if people don t get their their basic needs they they might be desperate and ready calista again but we also have to add that the strategy of the u.s. is also good to have their feet on the ground like be as is. countries who are involved in this war like like russia or like like tricky ally saudi arabia they all try to defend their interests and one of the interests of the u.s. is definitely to push back iran s growing influence in the region and the second big. goal there is to establish a political solution and in the in the eyes of the americans it should be a political solution with. the dictator bashar al assad did abuse we re going to show just returning from syria where you were on the ground with u.s. forces fighting the so-called islamic state thank you. china s government is investigating the former head of interpol meng hong day for bribery and other crimes a spokesperson for china s ministry of foreign affairs said the investigation shows the government s determination to pursue the rule of law and fight corruption man s wife said that he disappeared two weeks ago after he left france for a trip to his native china. on funday interpol announced that he had resigned as president of the international police agency. and joining us now from beijing is t w reporter mathias is covering the events for us from the chinese capital and mathias i mean we just have to say that this has really been a bizarre case from the very beginning to we have any more clarity on how his disappearance came about to the chinese foreign ministry or other officials a clarify about. no there were no details about what happened when he was arrested where he is under what circumstances he was arrested there were only some statements that said he was investigated for corruption and it s not unusual for these high profile corruption cases that people disappear first and then after some time there is a small note is issued just to cater for corruption what is unusual about this case is that he was an old fishel that was sent by china only two years ago to the head of interpol and that he was now called back or he was arrested while visiting china we don t know why he was visiting china so this to to to do this in such a high international profile case this is really unusual and it shows that china is not really concerned about international opinion when it comes to these corruption cases to this current to corruption compay in that she s in being has been running since he s in office and of course i mean it s a very big campaign that anti corruption campaign so tell us a little bit more about man s background and why he might have been targeted. we were really speculating at this point there was no there was only a very very short statement saying that he s accused of taking bribes and violating the law which the law. was not specified was a hint in one of the statements that this was helping to they wanted to to contain the influence of joe young conjoin young kong is a former head of security under the former administration he was the most important person in the security a perishes and he s the highest profile the highest far purged official from the former administration it s a very high profile case and it might be that months arrest warrant is in connection with joe young can t. whose arrest at the time was seen as a pushback against the faction that led the former administration so we can probably see this as as a case of into factional cattles within the communist party and volunteer in beijing thank you so much for your reporting thank you well it s back over to bed now and a change at the top of one car a turbulent times can make a dime other companies but agile chief has surprisingly announced he ll step down his contract is due to expire at the end of next year but he still can t make a comment as head of the supervisory board he would not seek an extension it is the pacha call comes on the heels of don the boss dated such as announced that it will pass the baton in may next year. time to head frankfurt now correct booze in is out of frankfurt stock exchange for us and two of the big topics this week both saying i.p.o. s what s happening. there spend two i.p.o. s are scheduled this week here in frankfurt two very different companies from very different sectors tomorrow west wing will have its listing and internet shop selling furniture and other trendy stuff via the internet all over europe and on friday very big relatively big i.p.o. will happen here in frankfurt canonical grams of makes breaks for lorries and also for railway trains the i.p.o. could be valued or the company market valuation of the company might be up to fourteen billion euros and this would mean that this i.p.o. of might be bigger than the one which up until now has been the largest one here in germany so far siemens healthy there just briefly good timing for these guys i mean there s a sell off at the moment which continues. that s true but if anything this encourages companies to make their i.p.o. s now you know with interest rates rising in the u.s. there is the idea on the markets that we are ending the end of a cycle and that this is the time for a company to go public if you want to do it cannot who is in at the frankfurt stock exchange things. representatives of swiss banking giant u.b.s. are appearing in court today on charges that the bank orchestrated a huge tax fraud scheme it s accused of enabling wealthy french clients through donor proceeds from tax for that took place between two thousand and four and put in twelve drug comes after a six year probe that was launched on for a former employee alerted authorities to the bank s alleged criminal activities. now from the u.b.s. worker who broke that story and what he expects the outcome of the case could be my understanding is if they re found guilty certainly the amount of the fine will be much higher i believe than the one point four billion euro and it should be more should be as a percentage of the assets with the french government has been cheated the french taxpayers have been cheated and they should set an example for u.b.s. . you know the energy sector only a few names there is connected with the dangers of nuclear energy as the ukrainian town of chernobyl in april one thousand nine hundred eighty six a botched test a reactor number four ultimately led to thousands of deaths and clouds of nuclear fallout across much of europe now just a stone s throw away from way europe s biggest nuclear calamity took place new solar power plant has been. the seat of power for the future next to the socket for guests of power as past genoa build built in a contaminated area which remains largely uninhabitable these solar panels produce enough energy to power two thousand apartments. and this is not this just. sort of long. this is the only you are lucky to have it needs a strong. economic reforms he was a slow that worked in life and it s in april nine hundred eighty six a botched test at reactor number four at the soviet plant sent clouds of nuclear material billowing across europe and forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate . the total death toll and long term health effects remain a subject of debate. the one megawatt solar plant is a joint project by ukrainian company rodina and germany s in a park arche investment in renewables in ukraine is growing sharply in just for. the present you stop us. between january and september more than five hundred megawatts of renewable power capacity was added in the country that s more than twice as much as in twenty seventeen according to government figures. in the last reactor was stopped in the year two thousand and it seemed as though that was it generation of power has died on this platform and this will never generate energy again but now we re seeing a new super out still small we are producing power on this site and this is very joyful. but this is one of the rare projects which has european money behind it ukraine is still heavily reliant on nuclear power and the switch to renewable energy is largely being bankrolled by the chinese. etc now i wouldn t say the sun shining down just politics at the moment absolutely not and here s an interesting trend actually ban something that you might not expect because germany s far right alternative for germany or the f.t. party has been criticized for playing down the significance of the holocaust nonetheless it s been attracting jewish voters and party members some of them launched their own group within the party over the weekend and they say that they joined the a.f.d. to fight the anti semitic views of muslims. several senior figures in the far right any of d c jews have a place in the party around twenty jews have now launched their own group within the dea and say they have very good reasons for joining us. i think recent one of the biggest issues will be islamic anti semitism will be pursuing that with great vigor it. is the only party that consistently criticizes the financing of islam is terror especially against israel. but the head of the central council of jews in germany staunchly opposes the creation of a new jewish group within the fifty an apartheid and for the party puts an entire group of people under suspicion in this case the muslims jews more than anyone should know what it means to be placed under suspicion so possibly like this cannot be a political home for jewish people come kind of politician i might figure to mention sign these people have been misled with some sort of promise is that the only way i can explain this. is the leaders have made several provocative comments about the nazi era. we. are in the nazi is a droppings and over a thousand years of successful german history. another eight of d. politician called the holocaust memorial in berlin a monument of shame this alternative isn t kosher that was the slogan for a street demonstration by about two hundred people on sunday in frankfurt they oppose the populist party s efforts to play one minority group against another for political gain. the most prestigious prize for german language literature the german book prize is about to be awarded and with me here in the studio is yalda as our vosh from our culture desk to tell us all about it and why this is so significant or you know the german book press is actually the most important and prestigious award in german literature it s comparable to the man booker prize in the u.k. and the winner of the the award winner is awarded with twenty five thousand euros but what is actually even more important or for many that the when there are usually ends on the bestseller list of course at the end of the day it s all about selling more books you know making more awareness so it s a very big deal what s the selection process it s really like a multi-stage process so to say so there s every year there are six nominees who make it to the so-called short list. many hundreds like this year they have been over two hundred titles submitted but there s only going to be one winner and this matter is going to be announced this evening actually in a few ships like in just over an hour in frankfurt the city where the famous book fair is going to kick off very soon so the six shortlist others actually they themselves have no idea who is going to be the winner oh yes oh it s going to be excited even when it s it is it will be announced but before that maybe let s have a look on three into three of the main contenders. really. the story begins with the sacrilege in an isolated mountain village a bird of prey worshipped by locals is killed. time to strike the price. god who describes the faithful encounters with the fifth the day. i think concerns especially birds of prey have always captured to human imagination because. they are such simple beings and yet they surpass us in so many ways before also. what are we in the face of nature this novel opens the door to a fantastical world the feels hauntingly real. maria silly about better has lived in germany for twenty two years and explores her native argentina from there the little town where she grew up on the outskirts of one a set as is a cultural melting pot called by a standard the heroes of her novel are hairdressers laundromat owners or car mechanics like bob betters grandfather with all their hopes and fears they congregate in the car workshop the reader experiences major political events through the eyes of ordinary people. i wanted to write about what i know well of course it was life in a dark era site. maria sicily above but as opulent novel night glowing is steeped in affection for its characters and depicts the tone society seeking its identity. often nino heritage should really peers into the very depths of her characters sols in the cat in the general she uses different perspectives to tell the tale of a monstrous crime and of the first chechen war the book is inspired by real life events the central figure is alexander all of a sensitive russian turn to perpetrate about the war together with other songs as you break and murdered a young woman in a mountain town in chechnya what s crazy about this real life case is that the unit was on a kind of holiday. but then they couldn t stand it they started waging a kind of war within a war. and i d keep. a story akin to a classic tragedy. billy explores crime and punishment was inside heads and the evil within us all. so not topics some pretty heavy ones there and it s how the stories but the stories they explore really did wide reaching topics and what i personally think is very interesting that this year three of the six nominees are not german native speakers actually so two of them we just saw in the report. about better who is born and raised in argentina and went there to a german school the other one you know how to really who was born in georgia and they mind their past and they the stories like the past of their own families outside of germany for. their stories and their novels or there s many personal background in there like another author on the shortlist in belair. he was born in prague and his parents are russian jews and his novel six suitcases he explores themes like this placement and identity based on his own family story although he emphasizes it is not an autobiographical novel it is literal literature his parents came to germany in one hundred seventy two years after the practice spring and maxim miller says that it was really difficult for himself just to move from munich to broaden so only like within the same country so think of his parents were to leave their home country at the age of forty not being able to go back so this is. a very interesting novel if you like yes mutant so it s worth reading it actually but there also are two other interesting titles. marker with archipelago and stephen tom calma with god of the berrien and what is really i think personally very nice to see there are four out of six nominees a woman this year we find out in about an hour whether one of them one we thank you so much. for joining us from our culture desk we appreciate it. yes and with that you
