Also coming up britains theresa may was hoping to hear good news from brussels today on the progress of the breaks of talks but the e. U. It seems will not be playing ball. On the back of puts a positive spin on the first round of negotiations to point a new government but Party Officials warn the road ahead could be a long and bumpy. Chinese president xi jinping is cementing his hold on power at the Historic Communist Party congress currently underway in beijing we have a report from china on the methods chief uses to cultivate his image among ordinary people. And many young egyptians are reaching maturity with little idea about six now seven years after the government banished the subject from the classroom calls are mounting to reintroduce Sex Education. Hello im tony martin good to have you with us. Another deadline is approaching in catalonia the regions separatist leader collis pushed has until ten a. M. Local time thats in about less than two hours to tell spain that he will not be pushing ahead with plans to declare independence if he fails to comply a drib could be forced to take the dramatic step of retaking control of the region these are decisive hours for the future of spain and once again theres one man everyone is looking to cut a line president pushed among hanging over his head is a threat never before used in modern spanish history its article one five five the stripping of his regions autonomy its powers reverting to madrid the light is stacked in this drama began last week after cuts alone is referendum. On declared independence but he immediately suspended it and called for dialogue with madrid that move infuriated his opposite number spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy hes now demanding clarity from the mall. He just has to answer the question have you declared catalonians independence or not because if he has declared Catalan Independence the government is obliged by the constitution to respond in a certain way. In other words any declaration of Catalan Independence will trigger article one five five put them on discuss his response with his own Party Last Night the tone coming out of the meeting was harsh. Should the state put into motion article one five five weve asked the president to lift his suspension of independence and put into effect the democratic mandate. In other words if madrid tries to curtail push demands powers he will declare independence. Demonstrators again took to the streets of barcelona on wednesday evening this time supporters of unity with spain for many of them. Is a criminal whatever his next move this crisis appears far from over. Barbara basell is in barcelona covering this story for us good morning barbara its a crucial day barbara are you there there she is yes i. Know it is a crucial day for catalonia in spain as a whole im just wondering what options do the two sides have in this situation. If youre talking terry about options to back down i dont see very much at the moment because both sides have really dug themselves in which to mine is really determined to somehow get independents underway and that local newspaper close to his government says this morning that he will be sending a letter which were waiting for right now two hundred saying ok if you trigger one fifty five we will sort of hit back was a declaration of independence and then the standoff will be total and everything that weve just heard will happen madrid has threatened so often now to take over power in barcelona and in catalonia that it just has to come through so things will happen during the day and during the next days because the actual the depths of the crisis the really heat of it will come in the implementation for instance when madrid starts taking over the local police so were waiting for things to happen it will be step by step but the deadlines are just running out now for how bad could things get there you mentioned article one fifty five the constitution that would allow madrid to basically retake control over the catalonia region would that be the were worst Case Scenario is that the Nuclear Option. It is the Nuclear Option because it would mean that madrid really take back autonomy from catalonia and we have to stress this catalonia has a lot of autonomy the local Health Service the schools finances everything is really under their control if madrid takes that back and imposes sort of a central governor like in former times here in barcelona and they take over finances they take over maybe even control of the local or regional broadcaster and finally of course and that is one of the symbolic crucial points if they take control of the Catalan Police then we can we will sort of really see things heating up because it will make peoples blood boil for them that will show that they hated oppressor in madrid is actually has actually come down here and is taking away their rights so yes it will take a few days to come to that point but it can get ugly is there any way barbara for the two sides at this point to maybe save face and get out of this without a major confrontation. Im afraid its too late really thats what all local of service say somebody should have talked him out of the trees like six weeks ago two months ago in any case before this fateful referendum attempt at the beginning of october and now both sides are really committed to sort of stay was their course and there is no really way that they could face save face and sort of turn back so it will happen barbara thank you so much to Barbara Faisal there in barcelona. Now europe has a number of headaches today britains theresa may is promise to make it as easy as possible for e. U. Citizens living in the u. K. After briggs it its one of the issues holding up progress in talks with brussels on the u. K. s exit from the e. U. But her concession is unlikely to persuade e. U. Leaders to move talks on from divorce terms to a future trading relationship in a moment well talk to our correspondent about what to expect from a summit in brussels tonight but first up is chelsea and pill brings us up to speed on the talks so far. But after knowledge and. Provide respect the European Union says over an additional five rounds of talks. Multiple mishaps and almost an ending stream of metaphors lets put a tiger in the tank and stop letting the grass grow under our feet the ball is entirely in the u. K. Court as we look forward to the next stage the ball is in their court breaks in negotiations are well underway and things are getting theory is in your court. Actually thats a game of golf it clearly isnt a game but if it were today shes been much point for team brecks it here in brussels a real moment of triumph when the e. U. Said enough have been agreed upon for talks to move on to the next phase to really get into the nitty gritty of the u. K. s future relationship with the e. U. And on trade. The e. U. Had some conditions. Its demanded sufficient progress on three key issues the rights of u. K. And e. U. Citizens prosperous it how the border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland will function and most contentious of all how much money the u. K. Owns so far on a major breakthroughs on any of the above meaning progression to the next phase is now unlikely before december but even on that the u. K. And the e. U. On opposite ends of the court. Were ready and well prepared to start those discussions. Im not in a position at this stage to propose to the European Council that it should open discussions on the future relationship discussions for the future. Thats despite mondays last minute tom offensive from two reason may in brussels may have looked friendly botts the pressure is clearly mounting. Time is running out the clock ticking very fresh like a game of tennis these negotiations are on a deadline u. K. Said lets leave the e. U. In march one thousand nine hundred. Our correspondent is keeping score for us there in brussels today georg british Prime Minister theresa may she says that britain and you are in touching distance for a deal on Citizens Rights that would affect e. U. Citizens living in the u. K. After brags that in u. K. Citizens living in. Youth leaders feel the same way that theres a deal within touching distance on this issue. Michele but neither chief negotiator the man who in brussels represents the interests of the twenty seven Member States the negotiating table at least would say there is Good Progress in the field of Citizen Rights he knows of course as well as does all the twentys other twenty seven leaders that the big question still is the rights that have been agreed in these negotiating talks how will they be guaranteed ones of the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice seizes to exist in the in the u. K. With bracks it as though that is still a question why even in this field there isnt sufficient progress these who also knows of course that with theresa may who just sent a letter to a one hundred thousand e. U. Citizens who inquired about their status ensuring that they will be able to stay the e. U. Knows of course she has a vested interest that a workforce of more than three Million People stays in the country not to recently she is on a bit of a Charm Offensive you mentioned a Letter Writing Campaign she did she was also in brussels earlier this week trying to soften up her negotiating partners did that help i think very unless the reason may really manages to throw a curve ball a surprise offer on this summit unless youre arrives with a pretty big check to cover the bill which is the key stumbling block in these talks. The leaders will simply agree with Michel Barnier that there is not sufficient progress to move into a face to and so that really is where things stand at the moment for leaders its very clear they welcome that in our foreign speech he made clear the u. K. Will honor its commitments and that means they will cover a bracks a bill but the e. U. Would like to have it on paper and to have that in numbers for for each field that needs to be covered. Briggs it may be the biggest nut to crack to use another metaphor. There. But its not the only one what about tensions in spain over catalonia is independence bid for example is that going to be a topic for discussion i put it in a nutshell terry the e. U. Has made very clear out of the Council President has has made very clear they will only talk about catalonia if the spanish Prime Minister would choose to do that if he brings up the topic on the agenda they have throughout this crisis in the past weeks a suit from me by the side of madrid basically sending out the message particularly if you look at states like italy belgium where you have sort of strong outcomes regions they do not support any independence movements in the whatsoever. Thanks so much. There in brussels so you look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today civilians have been fleeing the syrian city of raka after it was taken from socalled Islamic State the u. N. Says some forty thousand people according to displacement camps in the last days u. S. Backbiters are removing land mines and booby traps and rooting out the few remaining militants. Russian t. V.

Nearly a month after germanys election the country has begun the process of trying to put together a new government its harder than ever before because the parties come from across the political spectrum and are ideologically very far apart german chancellor Angela Merkel ended the first round of talks on a positive note but the Party Officials said the road ahead is all. Black yellow and green for now the colors of the jamaican flag are just hot air on the banks of the river. But exploratory talks are under way chancellor merkels conservative c. D. U. And c as you first met with the business friendly f. T. P. Party and later with the environmentalist greens the Jamaica Coalition would be an exotic combination that has never existed before at the national level. The talks were reasonable there was no tension but we all know how hard it will be and how different our political cultures are equal to and here to some and the c. D. U. N. C. S. Use prospective partners have major differences over a number of key issues including the European Union and austerity policy migration and energy. This could become the most complex series of negotiations in decades. Before the talks were shaped with the intention of looking for solutions about how to reach a Cohesive Society but it is also clear that theres a long way ahead of us. This views the munging moves on friday the exploratory talks will continue with teams from the potential Coalition Parties meeting together it may be weeks before a possible Jamaica Coalition becomes reality. Well the chancellor merkel this time around forming a new government could be a long and winding road huns bun from politics is following the negotiations good morning and now the parties to spending in these talks are not natural allies we all know that in terms of policy where their interests overlap and where is the they are the most potential for disagreement i think you have to say the most potential disagreement is probably on migration policy because the spectrum goes from the. Lead on the left from the green party to on the right the Christian Social Union the Bavarian Sister Party of. Christian democrats they have been pushing very hard for a lot stricter application of migration rules of immigration rules in in germany the greens obviously are a lot more liberal in their attitudes so i think thats probably the issue where things will be most the most contentious on the other hand you could say they are pretty good differences obviously on every issue so they might all say that theyre agree that the paris climate agreement should be and should be implemented but the question of how this implementation goes ahead they are large differences between the various projects the greens for instance are saying by twenty thirty that should not be any food new Combustion Engine cars in germany obviously the other parties are not particularly pleased about that so on every single issue taxation and vironment you can find major differences case of four parties involved in these talks so far weve had some small bilateral meetings between the different parties now to morrow all four parties are going to be getting for together for the first time what can we expect there well this is the very first meeting so a lot of it will be concerned sort of creating a good atmosphere for talks getting to know each other procedural matches as a lot of technical stuff to be cleared up how often are they going to meet where theyre going to meet in what composition are they going to meet. Eventually when the talks become really detailed there will be detailed working groups on pacific issues and not everyone will meet in the big in the big session also for several of the parties they need to go back to their Party Congress is to have all of this approved by as it were there. So there is some time pressure as well as some and some pressure to get ahead by mid november for instance when the Christian Social Union having. A planning a Party Congress so a whole lot of details like that initially it will be all about do we get on can we create an atmosphere actually to talk to each other its a lot of work still to be done a lot of work ahead what is the potential for these talks actually fail at the moment to everyone saying you know things are going very well in these first two talks obviously even before this formal start of negotiations they have been contacts. So there is a chance of there is a good chance it will go up but there is a chance that it will fail we dont know it will take months and thank you so much hans blunt from d. W. Politics. Chinese growth figures are out there giving president xi jinping a boost at the communist Party Congress helena yes terry theyre certainly not dampening his efforts there in beijing to consolidate his power meeting which comes once every five years now chinese growth slowed slightly last quarter we saw growth of six point eight percent from the worlds second biggest economy that means it is on track to meet its annual targets now the National Statistics agency did warn of volatility and said that the economy was at a quote crucial stage of restructuring meanwhile Chinas Central Bank is warning about the possibility of a sudden collapse in asset price is off to a long period of growth the latest figures come of just mentioned that Chinas Communist Party holding its annual congress where it is xi jinping is expected to cement his power in the talk there had been about opening up the economy but critics say theyve heard that before. Privatization and a more open economy five years ago that was chinese president xi jinping his plan for economic reform. More free market less state control many hope that would mean the breakup of state owned companies. Opening the door to more private businesses. Allowing the currency to float and a fight against corruption. But five years on many are disappointed. Though there have been some successes in recent years chinas leadership is again promoting economic nationalism. The countrys huge state owned enterprises are once again determining the communist party strategy. Thats true of Many Private Companies too. And the yuan is largely back under the control of Chinas Central Bank. Foreign companies are also dismayed at beijings about turn xi jinping comes to greater access to chinas market the promise that hasnt always materialized. In many cases foreigners can only manufacture and market products from the peoples republic with the Chinese Business partner at their side and their restrictions are getting profits out of the country so many are listening to the speeches at the Party Congress with more than touch of skepticism. And that Party Congress president xi saying he was keen to open the market to Foreign Investors once again so lets find out what the state of play is right now for farm businesses in the country and whether they think there will be greater opening up joining me now from beijing is on the code yet a founder of a capital which invests in European Companies to accelerate their growth in Chinese Markets thank you for joining us on the day now you provide support to European Countries in china whats your impression is china opening up well unfortunately it must be said the train of reforms probably stayed in there a way station weve heard a lot of promises specially since for the two thousand and twelve and nothing really materialized i would even say. So some aspects deteriorated for foreign businesses so when the head of the Central Bank Says chinas economy must open up to do more to return to its top standing do you and all other Companies Take that seriously. Well weve heard these these talks and i think all all those who are holding these speeches especially the governor of the central bank are probably convinced that thats the way to go but what we see on the ground is that reform state owned enterprise reform is not happening actually at the contrary youre creating more and more gigantic monopolies like you can see in a railway or in shipping. There is increased pressure to repatriate data for Foreign Companies in order to have them all in china you have issues about the car market where you have none protection and i mean you have more or less protectionist measures were going to be implemented so all this is very worrying and the mood of our foreign businesses has turned from eldorado to a more much more complicated situation under that we just pick you up on that point regarding the car industry that all reports of big hurdles that the communist party is imposing quotas on an electric vehicles by foreign carmakers does that make foreign firms shy away from china. Well its very schizo phrenic because on one side china is more and more the largest market as far as growth is concerned so probably thirty to forty percent of Global Growth in value will come from china this year so its a market you cannot. Get to get past of course and on the other side the conditions of doing business in china have become increasingly complicated. You talk about the car market obviously chinese car makers were not able to to be be at par with with foreign carmakers in the last twenty years so theres a reshuffling and no to this measure the Chinese Government is trying to put again electric car makers from china at the at the forefront so this is this is probably causing concern in a lot of boardrooms and especially in germany where thats pretty new lets turn it round very briefly chinese investors have a strong presence on International Markets what does beijing make of all that capital flowing out of the country also a bit scares a frantic on one side you need acquisitions of technology more than ever china needs to. Improving of a pick and on the other side there is Strong Capital flight especially early two thousand and sixteen so the restrictions on chinese acquisitions overseas have become massive since twelve months on a cake yet the head of a capital joining us from beijing thank you thank you. Well iraq is one of the top oil produces in the world but ongoing conflict around its oil fields has affected the countrys ability to exploit it through sources this week iraqs army recovered oil fields from Kurdish Forces in the region and now iraq a government is hoping it can stop pumping the black stuff once again with the help of oil giant b.

And back now to terry thanks helena you are watching the news just going to bring you up on some of the stories were following still to come tours of historic communist sites are becoming increasingly popular in china to tell you take a look at how chinas current president is using one such trip to push his own personality cults.

And german chancellor Angela Merkels party says the one round of talks to form a new governing coalition has ended on a positive note but Party Officials say they face an uphill battle to forge germanys first four way alliance. Chinese president xi jinping opened the communist Party Congress wednesday with call with a call for the party to take a stronger role it was a confident speech marking hell she jinping has cemented his grip on power more firmly than any other recent chinese leader correspondent Mathias Berninger reports on how she has revived communist traditions and a personality cult similar to that of chairman mao. The. Chinese farmers living a carefree life in the countryside. Suddenly Chiang Kai Shek smash troops destroyed. These are scenes from the chinese civil war of the one nine hundred forty s. We enacted a wood and young every day visitors can see how mounted the outnumbered communist troops beat back the nationalist advance performances part of the Tourist Program in the Northern City of. The way that chairman mao liberated and conquered back then it was really spectacular. With. A spending their School Holidays here with their grandparents they want to do their part for the childrens education. The children should learn more about the history of the revolution how mal conquered the whole country from here and founded the new china the Community Center trench themselves and then on to escape their enemy after the revolution the city became a place of pilgrimage now more tourists come here than ever before. The red tourism trend had already started before she dipping became president in two thousand and thirteen but shes emphasis on socialist traditions has given a significant boost to these communist party pilgrimages Party Members and employees of state owned enterprises are often even required to attend to of the sights of the Chinese Revolution there is a clear propaganda purpose behind a tool. Its like now president she wants to be i dont like the personality code of chinas most powerful man is rife in the village of young her and i was driving away one of millions of chinese you exiled to the countryside she had to learn from the farmers in this village. Chairman she lived in this cave with a comrade the photos are of his time in the village have a look. Religious build cave homes that protected them from the harsh mountain climate the official tour guide say she learned to understand the common people. I claimed i was a tourist journalists arent welcome here. In yen on the quantum family has reached the cave when mao once left but theres zero criticism of the late chairman here and no mention of the millions of people who died because of his policies and im going to show that everyone has flaws. No one is perfect. But mao led china out of misery and thats what counts. The revolution two is almost over for you one more stop today and then the children will have completed this part of their read education. Like gratian is back on the table today when the e. U. Gathers for summit talks in brussels leaders are to sign off on further policies to prevent irregular migration theyve already agreed measures to prevent by grants crossing the mediterranean from north africa but with the path through the balkans already closed migrants from the middle east are turning to a new route across the black sea from turkey to romania. The ministry of the black sea crammed onto a far too tiny boat heading towards romania. This is also how even. Came here two weeks ago with their children. They are still shook up from the Dangerous Passage from istanbul. We were afraid to set off after seeing what shape the boat was in i got mad at my husband we watched parts of the boat fall off but it was too late the waves were very high and water into the boat we were so scared. For several weeks the romanian coast guard has been encountering overcrowded smuggling boats day and night within a month nearly five hundred people from iraq iran and syria have fled across the black sea to a mania the coast guard is concerned a new socalled black sea route could emerge from turkey to remain. Captain. Has been on several operations rescuing refugee boats. Turkey has a very long coastline much longer than ours its very difficult to continuously guard the entire coast. Human traffickers profit from this and manage to send boats over. The bias hanis and glad they survived they hadnt been aware of the danger. All that mattered was to leave turkey towards europe they tell us the black sea route is an inside. Joke much of we came through turkey because its easy to start from there and because many human traffickers are there. And the Turkish Police dont do anything about it theyre bribed by the smugglers. Having arrived in romania the human traffickers all rested their boats confiscated by the remaining coastguard held. Gathered by nothing more than rust numbers of decommissioned turkish fishing on tourist boats are rising. And now arriving at the ports of constancy is a result of european refugee politics according to refugee expert. Desperate people always find a way but. The fact that we have these ships on the black scene shows that the typical routes are shut down and are no longer an option on the. Internet thats one increasing number of refugees on landing in constanza and many remain in sa skeptical. About their with the state should keep these people away from us they shouldnt come to us like they did to germany tragedies keep happening there and the to know that i did you know this or not but i personally believe we should help each other i wouldnt want to live in a country like theirs with so much war and nobody is there to help. So much with them. Even by zanny and his family were brought to a tourist. Along with forty other refugees they say they cant go back to iran. I worked at the court where my brother was a judge i had access to many secret documents. Files that contained proof against influential corrupt people. They told me to smuggle these files out and threaten to kill me if i didnt. Would that be found him a good number for. The glans theyve made it that remain a is only a temporary stop on the journey they want to keep using as soon as possible to sweden own germany. To egypt now our calls are mounting to reintroduce Sex Education seven years after the government removed the subject from School Curricula as a result of that ban many young egyptians are reaching maturity with no guidance on sexual relations Birth Control or how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases we have this report. At tender touch. Sunset. Just the two of them. Mohammad are in love but even though the young couple is married gazing into each others eyes is the limit to physical contact. At least in public. Oh. And since we dont it took its head off from the wolf little guy in front of others were not used to the need to say stuff for the common thats you just strange us even if your guys are married what where would you do this and from thinking when you have your home just act whatever you want at your home. Or. Before they got married last year and mohamed could only see each other in secret. They were afraid boss miss family would find out. Cairo a thriving metropolis that times the city seems like a walking contradiction burkas and risque dresses are sold side by side talking about sex is strictly taboo as well and yet women often find themselves fending off sexual predators. Youre wearing so much revealing clothes and revealing it really that theres some a person to another if you are too loud in the street if you are putting too much makeup when there is an instant of sex would have us men too would find people just pointing fingers about the woman look at houses just look at how she walks look at how she was dealing with them shes asking for it its a problem aha med is all too aware of but one thats difficult to address most people here prefer to just ignore the problem. Mohammad is the head of a private school in egypt such schools are considered progressive but even here Sex Education is not part of the curriculum Public Schools stopped teaching it a long time ago sex they tell the kids is something best kept secret. However being in an eastern country doing that proactively unstored thing or initiating that phenomenon biological aspect would be uncomfortable for most of the pagans so most of our work thats not biological we do that but we actively more than through. This means kids wont get answers unless they ask but they almost never do that would be embarrassing. But as much as waiting for a taxi to bring her to work she used to take a mini bus but the constant harassment from her male passengers was too much after a while. It could start with this company more about your body or about your looks and being with a complete description of a sex with. The sex taboo is definitely related to sex with harassment because i think when people feel pressured about something and when they feel that there is a certain topic that is youre not allowed to express anything about it you start to be really occupied with a sexual therapist about khat believes this penned up frustration is making people sick treatment is a luxury reserved only for the well off thats hurting Egyptian Society as a whole she says and young people in particular a bit believes they need clear answers. Its part of our life so. Until when we deny it. To when were going to protect our kids if we do the. Protection for their kids until when but hey by is determined to break the taboo shes launched a you tube channel which openly tackles issues such as love relationship and sexuality and first many egyptians were outraged today she is regarded as one of the countrys leading sex experts but the controversy is havent gone away well hey but is considered progressive at home many in the west see her as deeply homophobic because of videos like this where she describes homosexuality as a disease that can and must be treated. In private and mohamed try to speak openly about sex and their relationship but its not always easy. When most young egyptians marry they know very little about either. They learn about sex from porn videos provided by their parents who also dont know how to talk to their kids about sex. And suddenly youre suddenly married you dont know how you should expect when should you expect which would you do and all of your knowledge comes from maybe point you maybe just talks with your friends but not really knowledge. And mohammad have promised each other to do things differently when they have children of their own they want their kids to be curious and ask questions love and sexuality may go back as far as the first humans but for many here in egypt it remains a big mystery. The death of nations warns that twenty Million People face starvation in Eastern Africa south sudan and somalia are the worst hit but the Regional Power kenya is also suffering a huge increase in the price of food there is affecting the middle class as well as the poor in drought hit areas and many people are looking are looking beyond the lack of rain to place blame they point to the failure of political leadership. And young Philip Schultz report from kenya. Dark clouds hover over to see them which is fields. But as the farmer suspects they wont deliver desperately needed rain. Three rainy seasons have already come and gone in south korea where you see lunas wife christine live. All they can find to pick are some legumes otherwise the entire maize crop their main income source has dried up. Now that ive been visiting the new thumb of the need to keep my family for. Two to three months but not. Even need to keep me for a week seven years ago began a video project to document the climate changes in his region hes experienced a lot of weather extremes including droughts and floods but its never been as bad as it is now. Instead of being able to sell his harvest the farmer has to go to market to buy his maize. A staple in the kenyan diet the amount he can actually afford keeps getting smaller and smaller. Feel neglected because. Feeding my family but the government exams in order to support us. In the capital nairobi the socalled corn crisis has been a source of bitter controversy for many months. Maize prices have skyrocketed by more than one hundred percent the problem is that the corn silos containing the emergency reserves were depleted soon after the drought started whether the maize had been stolen or had rotted away is not clear. And those responsible have yet to provide a clear answer eventually the government stepped in importing maize and launching a Subsidy Program to bring prices down. But according to Ali Khan Saatchi the whole system is totally corrupt. The financial expert says both politicians and Business People are enriching themselves through special import licenses. Folks are able to get access to those licenses and make seriously big and windfall profits at the expense of course of the rest of the country. Big windfall profits and you know the fear is that this money circulating back into political spending. Those very officials bristle at the corrupt allegations. They claim the government has done its best to counter the countrys Food Shortages from the get go. The president declared had brought a National Disaster and he called upon all the other stick around us to join hands on supporting the government so anybody who is interested in helping to join hands and help now but those people are not interested in helping they should shut up not talking everywhere nonsense. Former has long stopped looking for Political Solutions instead he and other farmers are working together to design homemade Irrigation Systems for their fields they still have to work out the kinks but its enough to start growing some tomatoes and theres hope that this means theyll be able to grow maize again next season all this week is inviting International Journalists whove been given refuge in germany to speak their minds about their host country today we hear from ugandan moses. Yeah germany i have a few words to say to you wilds of a demonstration love disappointment and. Vastly i am thankful that living in this country means i have the peace and security that i once like my name is more this will give me a book write a journalist from uganda where i once worked as an investigative journalist and paid a high price for the truth eight years ago i came to germany where i now have a rest and state i was lucky i have realized that just basic human rights such as freedom of speech exemplary in europe and world of. Understandably the or the a few minutes of this great nation i clearly due to hard work and sacrifice. However in my observation and experience the question of social progress were all especially in regards to much unless groups such as immigrants remained largely unsolved. Integration is not as successful as outwardly does anyone ever wonder why even educated immigrants find it so difficult to continue with their career even after top rating well as a journalist with immigrant by brown i feel so disappointed that i still cant find a job as a journalist.
