A lot of us with this action the Spanish Government with the support of its socialist and liberal allies has carried out the worst attack on catalan institutions and the catalan people since the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco since. The government of knocking out of the hallway wants to authorize a directive without consent with little support and against the will of the majority that would control catalan life from madrid. He was hoping it didnt have to come to this in triggering article one fifty five of spains constitution Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has turned to what he considers a measure of last resort in the growing political crisis between madrid and barcelona. The autonomy and Self Governance of catalonia will not be suspended it will remove the people that put the autonomous government outside the law and the constitution. ItSelf Governance will not and it will be recovered for the sake of its legality and for the coexistence of all catalans not just those who are pro independence. Under romneys plan Catalan Affairs come under madrids direction Regional Elections would be held within six months they would exclude members of the current government of karlas push them on from madrid this is seen as a logical step but it is unacceptable for many caught in lines among the demonstrators in barcelona and other members of his government theyve denounced madrids move as a step too far for now catalonia his government and barcelona is Still Standing the Spanish Senate will decide on friday whether to approve Prime Minister a choice decision to trigger article one fifty five his conservative Peoples Party holds a majority of the senate seats but lets hear about how cuts alone is reacting to these latest moves of a so joins me now from boston on uprights good to see you so how did people react to what pushed him or had to say. People fell quiet in the square behind me which is the square in front of the Government Palace right to nine oclock when he started speaking before the mood has been really festive lots of chanting and schlepping and generally enjoying a really revolutionary spirit but then when which the man had finished speaking things sort of fell flat throughout the because we what he had given them well lots of big words but not what they had been avoiding for i think that with every declaration of independence this poisoned chalice he has sort of handed over to parliament problem and will meet on monday and then probably again next week and everybody is still waiting will they do it or will they not do it will they declare redeclare independence or not we will see next week the cat and mouse game between barcelona and madrid goes on and so the question now is can push them on and perhaps even the parliament now deliver what catalan separatists are expecting. He cant really deliver any more he can deliver emotions he can sort of a whip up their feelings make them feel great to put him on talked about he in english appealing to the people of europe chocked about the european nation of how to lonia and however what he can really do is force this through for them because its quite clear this is what the situation is like money on the heart the Prime Minister has announced it today and it is a matter of only a few days during the runoff next week that power will be taken away from carlos puts demand and he will have to hand over he will be gone as a political figure so he can talk the talk but he cannot walk the walk he cant deliver what people want madrid will take over by a professional joining us from buffalo and thank you. Has now crossed over to the spanish capital madrid where generalist Martin Roberts is standing by martin how do you think madrid is likely to react to put it on its latest address well the most important thing as barbara said is that he didnt actually mention the word independence which. Has most of the pigeons so. Many changes in the plan which is for some of. Them are. Still his right to reply give him a hearing because again they wont proceed youre not hearing what hes got to say first now right remains to be seen whether he will actually accept us in that session. Repeated invitations who are dressed the marchant arms and. The first time so its likely missing some who are second time so thats the next step is to see whether he will actually come to terms of their testimonies were going to hear him say what he has. But time is ticking days an election which is set to take place in about six months what does madrid hope to get out of the fresh election in catalonia. Well i think what they want to see a majority not. The majority which is. Again to our constitution. I mean today only the japanese economy start or armstrong as far as they were. There which by the way will still be allowed to marry and so its official its all going to talk about anything short of. The constitution doesnt. Whatever. Till the end of the day today. Consider. Again. The situation. We are looking forward to a lot of tension were. Journalist Martin Roberts joining us from madrid thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world egyptian Authorities Say at least fifty five soldiers and Police Officers have been killed in clashes with islamist fighters in them by want to hire this in the countrys the Western Desert the casualties reportedly doing a raid on a suspected militant hideout. Afghanistans Defense Ministry says a suicide bomber killed at least fifteen army recruits as they were leaving their base in the capital kabul four others were wounded in this latest incident comes at the end of a particularly bloody week in afghanistan seven major attacks have killed almost two hundred fifty people since tuesday. Resilient police have arrested more than one thousand people connected to an internet pedophile ring the ring followed a six month investigation involving u. S. Authorities more than a thousand agents took part in the operation which police say is the biggest ever conducted in latin america. Results in the Czech Republic fundamentally election show a clear victory for populist billionaire undraped bobbish and hes a no movement his part to secure and almost thirty percent of the vote bobbish says hes ready to negotiate with all parties to form a government and he pledged to stand out corruption investment and keep out of my ground the Election Results show a shift to the right with four of the top five finishes challenging the traditional mainstream. Joining me now is usually the director of new york universitys Academic Center in prag thank you for joining us so weve seen a lot of antiestablishment rhetoric in the Election Campaign ending a reputation for this guy as the czech trump who exactly is this man well mr bush is so an oligarch so the second richest person in the Czech Republic. In many ways it is similar to trump up because he also came from the outside to fix promising to are going to create an artichoke political. System but at the same time i would argue that it is also similar to Silvio Berlusconi because unlike donald trump mr bob is sure all are some Important Media outlets in the Czech Republic and so hes got. Tools to promote his so promote his views so quite the character youre describing but in reaction to Election Results that his party is pro europa during his campaign he thinks very critical of the European Union how does this go together. Well i expected mr published two changes. Shortly after the election so his views on the European Union because obviously he sort of crafted his message show its european message show to me. Sort of political clientele his electorate because those are mainly older people now who are not entirely. Friendly it was the European Union and sort of integration and so mr bush was trying to speak to them and it seems that he succeeded but for him personally very strong and the european stance is not something that. Would promote his business interests because his empire stretches from the Czech Republic to gentlemen and france theyre not relents and sentinel and it is not in his interest to create a deep divide between the Czech Republic and the European Union so i fully expected that shortly after the elections he would start modifying the. European message so to speak and i wouldnt be surprised to be know of portrays himself assessment of the pros of being a full edition all right so what about the far right s. P. D. Know that putting received more than ten percent of the vote how big is the fear that you know this pot to could push an n t e u n anti immigrant policy into the mainstream. Well i think that it could happen only if this fire to becomes part of the government quality issue and by mr bobbitt sure hes on a movement but it is not very likely because there are some deep differences between those two parties and in fact to leave this one its on. The issue of the European Union mr oakum without is an extremist and i think that mr bobbitt doesnt want to be portrayed as an extremist so it will be very difficult for those two political movements to find a common language for mr bush will have to look for support elsewhere and will not be easy either because so leaders of all other parties say they would not mind going into a coalition with a not but they definitely mind being you know same government with to the Prime Minister who is criminally prosecuted like mr bobbitt. Heres a paper thank you for joining us. Thank you.

Elba carls life has changed forever Hurricane Maria swept away practically everything she had her house is a ruin. Her fellow residents in salinas have likewise been left largely to their own devices gets here in the south of puerto rico that the hurricane hit hardest but hell but has determined to keep her spirits up and shes already looking toward the future. The first thing that help it does after she gets up is to check that she has enough diesel fuel for the day. This generator is her sole source of electricity and its vital for pumping water up to the second story. Well this house is right by the sea to view a spectacular until recently. The house is in an upscale neighborhood but the stylish motor boats that used to adorn the bay of plato were hit just as hard as the fancy beach houses. Elba faces an ongoing battle against the water pouring into her home through the roof. We have to get rid of the will to say that type of thing can dry out. All the tries to rescue the parquet floor by pushing the water through the cracks when its giving them. Your. Heart rebuilt my ring so at least i dont have to sleep on the balcony anymore. Game day like. Elba takes another look around the living room to see what else has gotten well. She stored all the possessions that she managed to salvage in the living room its one of the few rooms that are secure thanks to the concrete walls the other rooms were built with elegant looking wood. Held by inherited the house from her parents. She spent the happiest years of her life growing up here. The damage to the house amounts to several hundred thousand dollars. Is from a well to do family but most of that wealth has been destroyed by the hurricane. Here the wooden floor has buckled the house had survived a series of hurricanes over decades like mario was just too strong to lower section of the houses made from concrete as protection against flooding. You know. Some of the elders relatives have come by today to help out this is now the makeshift kitchen and living room. Youre. This hammock is now where elbows brother ramon sleeps hes recently divorced and hes coping with the devastation in his own way. Hes using a car battery to power up his music stereo which will hopefully lighten the mood. This yes i had not seen her cousin elbow since the disaster she lost her mother in the aftermath of the hurricane. Remember i just feel my mother died weve suffered genuine losses in addition to material damage my mother is the person i loved more than anything i have to believe shes in a better place now and that we have to survive this is not my fright now you know its about just staying alive you know i think. You know and certainly saying we have to look to the future life must go on. The mom how did your mother die. Before my photographs i never knew it was a natural death but they cant say for sure because the hospital has been crippled by the Power Outages so we figured you know you have a park right in front of the destroyed facade and shes shocked by what she sees. On the way i mean im lost for words the facade is gone to this house belonged to my fathers twin brother they loved each other very much its as if after losing them weve now lost our memories of them but the most important thing is to stick together and stay strong. You know money for something that only you know you can afford it. And out applies to the rest of the population of salinas indeed all residents of puerto rico there are lines everywhere especially outside banks the power failures mean credit cards normally a popular method of payment cannot currently be accepted cash is now the only option and banks cannot cope with the demand. Puerto ricans are u. S. Citizens but aid from washington has been slow to arrive. Elba finally returns from her shopping expedition which was as she reports chaotic. Outside. Its difficult to find food the ques a horrendous plus we went to three banks but none of them had any cash. Now you need health care we took whatever was available. Thank you very much her priority when shopping is items for the immediate future not luxury goods. Elva bought mostly nonperishable canned food theres practically no Fresh Produce on sale and the supermarkets refrigerators and freezers have no power. Help a managed to buy some diesel fuel to get the generator up and running again. Her cousin does what she can to help. Cocos its rained so much today. When youre on the air youre in the bathroom and thats where i hid. My face a goal of us all four dogs roam on im cooking. We were all here in the bathroom heat and then i was alone with the dogs for over ten hours. And you know. I didnt know whether to sing or pray. With my baby and by the time i came out i didnt know what day it was or what the time was. So unique in a single photo of a man and it took me five days to return to reality you know the more you better players on the dole. I couldnt sleep although i try it. Just so that i also used it as a wardrobe. This was my shelter from the hurricane so they. Chose. The noise started at four thirty in the morning. And the reason why it was really loud for what. You would do you. Want to do is scream because i thought the house was going to collapse on me. And run said run take the dogs and then we all came inside here. And i think. He knew what was going to happen so you know yes i thought the entire house was going to fall down. Eventually i wanted to see what was going on outside. I kind here took a look and and they found a piece of metal smashed against this window. But the clothes didnt break i just stood there it was a whole section of the roof. And i know im not the one to do it yeah. But. Thats what you can see down there is clean now it was a total mess at the neighbors place to you everywhere. That you. Have you been a moment. Ok but i cant do it the only thing you havent seen it come with me youll need a drink. Thats not. Me that i go over shellshock cousin around the wooden section over home her brother ramon had been living in what used to be her parents room. Money. Money you know. But then knowing. That were going to tell you what. Take a look know i can go out and have to to understand. Its all gone. Those are still up. So its the picture of the saints above the bed what doctor i. Am in my. Family scattered her fathers ashes into the sea opposite like when she came out of her shelter and saw the roads. I leave i i immediately noticed that the winds were still going strong. I thought oh my god when is it finally going to end this is you know the young man that you know was there and when i turned around and saw the house well what can i say theyre good i told myself that everything could be replaced theres no more i can do here now i didnt know my baby yet but the earliest. Elbel was scared for her life while she was hiding from the storm but she also had time to reflect about how to move on. Obama has a dream of having a brand new home here a year from now. But my future. Tomorrow after i have a cup of coffee im going to stop thinking about where i want to have my new kitchen. Make it up and then ill be able to start working on it once the old one has gone. Big things have small beginnings for people like elba there is only a new beginning. Why do elephants. How does a plastic model turn into a paving stone why do algae make clean air. Good idea kill working anywhere and there are people developing Smart Solutions everywhere. Lets inspire each other the environment magazine a go at africa next. Reporting on a world filled with the spreading across the planet. German journalist Souad Mekhennet is on a mission news to combat terrorism and uncover what motivates the perpetrators. Using the written word in the battle against hate. In sixty minutes. Last. They will not succeed in dividing us not succeed in taking the people off the streets because were tired of this dictatorship. Taking the stand global news that matters d. W. Made from mines cut down the w. We speak your language our Spanish Program on children. Always willing someone doesnt put in the sun i can later always close to the action but im not quite up to go dont get one before like it and get that up to the minute news and opinions of the background to political developments. D. W. We bring you. On the way. Hello and oh well welcome to this edition of a go at Africa European and pan african magazine show my name is joy during beera and were coming to you from the Nairobi National park here in Nairobi Kenya and for those of you who have never seen beth fellows thats what they look like hello and see how you doing. Hi im now a tie were coming to you from Lagos Nigeria we focus an exciting innovations around Environmental Issues across africa and europe and thats what we have lined up on the show for you today in kenya we will visit the last mail nabhan white rhino without him especially that is doomed to extinction and we will make a bit of a detour to switzerland to check out some tiny plastic particles losing water all over the world and the south africa will find out how growing white can help to preserve biodiversity in the cave. With us had to kenya to meet a species future generations will probably never see boaters have driven the northern white rhino to the brink of extinction on the black market its horn is more expensive than gold by the year twenty ten no no then why dry knows where known to exist in the wild in kenya just one male and two females are left on the grasslands of the opens at a conservancy near mount kenya and it looks like they cant have babies. In the shadow of kenya second highest peak mild kenya the all the chatter conservancy is a very special nature reserve. Not only because of its abundant wide life and stunning landscapes. But also because of the sleek laws of white rhinos. The loss of their calling they theyre the burden of ensuring the survival of the breed to create the optimal reproductive conditions of the just the left nothing to chance yet has his own home. Number of mating recorded on her think the nun has translated into a pregnancy saw we then decided the buy the best thing would be to bring in the assault on the life. And expose that to one of the crown of females. Southern white rhinos are closely related to the northern whites but efforts to save lives and points by cost breeding failed biologists have found out the other two remaining females are not capable of reproducing. With the male also incapable of breeding their extinction seems to be a matter of only a few guineas only fifty years ago the northern why dry nasir was roamed throughout uganda south sudan and the Central African republic but growing rhino horn demanding china and vietnam waits used in traditional nets and lead to approach an epidemic. By nine hundred ninety just twenty five. Left for Holden Mohamed the breeds impending extinction is nearer to his heart than for many of his colleagues at all. When you want to know i dont do this for mind. My schooldays ive not done and apart from dealing with the rightness that is what makes me happy i love them because theyre just a name with the homeless and they dont even talk to them mistreated and hunted down by poachers and the father of three boys says his relationship to the gentle pachyderms is a very emotional one raise. Raise their mothers have been killed by bushes spend the night to them in the bush i was spend the night beside her she had two blankets and had two of my own and she was hungry. Except for when she wants to so i take these trainers like my own children. Biologists say northern whites may well be extinct in the next ten years so scientists are now turning to high tech reproductive techniques they might be the last chance to save them. An emerging technique we just need to be careful that we have looked at all the risks involved and therefore we can get a signal on when we can start doing that the method involves creating a white rhino and briars which could be just stated by southern white rhino females but even if the program is successful it will take decades for the breech to bounce back on till then the last three kind of have to remain on the protection. South africas wine is walled framus most of the vineyards are within the cape flora region its a hotspot for biodiversity with almost six thousand endemic species of plants unesco has declared it a wild heritage site but farming aben sprawl and foreign species are all threatening the capes flora as a result more than three hundred species are on the brink of extinction according to experts can go get an equine production be the solution we went to look for eco friendly wine on the cape. The architecture advice to close a spectacular modern the cultivation methods are more traditional. We are by them in form and we see the whole farm as a living entity which means not just the vineyards but the fine boats also and you want that natural flow of positive energy right through the farm and having your natural vegetation and your natural for nine flora and the energy enhanced in your vineyards in your wines in the whole process is very special and it makes this form one living entity vata kloof is a wine estate on the cape right now and for its commitment to Sustainable Farming and wine making farm manager christiane lutes also uses manure to enrich the soil with microorganisms and to keep pasts in check chemicals are not part of his repertoire. This former isnt used in the pesticides and herbicides and two thousand and eight everything to be used comes from the form. We use the type of fungus or to be used for the fungal things you find in your compost heap christiane lutes has a visitor john isham from the World Wildlife fund in two thousand and eight it declared vital clue for a conservation champion the distinction is only awarded to vineyards that fulfil rigorous environmental criteria all out conservation champions theres about thirty seven of them they all get a formal review every year and thats when i come out to the farms and just want to actually monitor how are they doing with Environmental Management that would include clearing their Fire Management also looking at Waste Management problem animal control anything to do with environmental risks on the farm the vatican is one of six hundred vineyards in the cape wine learns here the grapes or processed by hand. The estate makes up to two hundred and forty thousand liters of wine a year for the domestic market and for export. Kristie im going to takes joan isham on a tour of inspection. More than half the one hundred forty six hector state has been set aside as a conservation area. Instead of vines endemic bushes and shrubs flourished there. The famed boss is the natural heathland of the western cape it forms part of the cape floral kingdom a region with an incredible number of plant species whats more two thirds of the nine thousand species are only found on the cape but thats not all. It might happen that one species only occur on one specific farm nowhere else even in the west of cape so if its lost there and we dont demotivate to look after that species it will be lost for the world the greatest threat to the cape floral kingdom invasive alien plant species is ation and farming isham says its very important to get more wine growers on board to become conservation champions. Conservation brings them a range of advantages we do. Walks and we do want to stay on horseback through the thing both the. Biological effect of it. In the for indoors and available to the vines in spring so they actually migrate from the fine boys into the vineyards to control this. Concludes that Environmental Management at vassar kloof is good you dont see alien vegetation that rigid and there in the distance they will still deal with thats a future plan so we recognise conservation efforts by allowing them to use the little sugar bird protea logo on their wine bottle lutes is passionate about biodynamic farming he goes way beyond the w. W. Apps criteria for being a conservation champion here natural processes do their jobs many farmers assigned to machines and chemicals sheep grazing the vineyards reducing the level of weeds between the rows of vines is a stain will form like this will be around in the next on the years the vines will grow up to fifty years old my son and so on will still be able to form the soil because of the soil is alive its a living. Hopes to sign up ten more states as conservation champions by the end of the year to help ensure a future for both wine growing and the famed voice. N. T. Have you thought of all the things that you can do with empty old metallic coke cans what if i told you that you could actually make pots and pans out of them well joypad found wild but its true in fairly owner thats exactly what they are doing some clever folks collecting all care and reengineering them lets have a look at how they are doing their bit for the environment. Did you know that you can turn old soda cans into cooking pots. Many african countries lack Waste Management systems. Therefore most of the trash ends up at the roadside. In sierra leone many people make a living from it. They collect soda and spray cans and turn them into general alum in your cooking pots. The allen minium is melted in a clay furnace. After that the molten metal is cast in a clay form. After cooling the pot needs a little bit of filing when its ready for sale remail ting requires Much Less Energy than producing alum minium from or thats why recycling benefits the environment and saves Natural Resources im going to do you like that. If you are also doing your bit tell us about it. Visit our website or send us a tweet. Recycling is exactly. How bill case. A nigerian social entrepreneur started years ago to grow a successful business is not just the business that has grown she and her team have also helped to grow awareness amongst the people as it concerns Waste Management the people now know that their waste can carry them some rewards its a new day for the we cyclers in legos using low cost cargo bikes the Organization Collects the trash thats been gathered by local residents just forty percent of the waste in this city of eighteen Million People is collected. That can encourage the spread of diseases. The trash clogs drainage is causing flooding. All of that could be prevented by recycling says billy because abiola shes the c. E. O. Of we cyclers. Is going to prevent. Project from going into what are we going to prevent people from burning ways and means is going to prevent so many chemicals from the recyclable wave entering into our fore i mean so our food is going to protect our because i mean frankly what like the environment where we do within our consumption of energy. Theme that based on. Our Natural Resources. Volunteers go from door to door to motivate local residents to join in those who sign up receive collection reminders on their mobile phones. And participation pays off for every kilogram of plastic bottles paper or aluminum cans the residents receive we cyclers points the points can then be redeemed for cellphone minutes food or household items. Mama dudda is happy to be part of the program. Since she joined shes been able to afford a gas cooking stove and even a t. V. Im keeping legos clean because i dont want lagos to be dirty if you move out to other countries even to porto nova down here if you go there you cant see any rubbish not as much as in nigeria so thats why im trying to keep my fathers land clean. And the we cycling facilities the trash is sorted and then sold to recycling companies. By turning the waste into wealth really kiss abiola hopes to fuel social change in low income communities and help to create a cleaner environment. Indiscriminately in the car now theyre not a must keep the way. To protect. Everyone is what. We all need to do by recycling. People so we. Have it seems that some lagos residents have caught the bug in the hopes of making the nigerian metropolis a little bit cleaner up till now we cyclers has reached fifteen thousand households in lagos but the organization is expanding into other areas so that number is set to grow. Whether in africa or in europe if anything. The Twentieth Century it was plastic its light durable chemical resistant and easy to manufacture its advantages are obvious but there is major downside to that very joe ability plastic is not biodegradable instead it breaks down very slowly. And thats a huge problem. This is the rhine river in the swiss city of basel environmental scientist thomas mani and his colleagues from the university are taking water samples to establish just how polluted the river is with small plastic particles known to scientists simply as micro plastics. You cant see them but theyre there and theyre a growing menace to the environment and its inhabitants and they last for ages. To fire them up with standard of. The plastic. So the trouble is that plastic takes an extremely long time to biodegrade hundreds or even fountains of years before your mistakes and more and more elastic is being manufactured and a lot continues to find its way into nature. Thats what sets this problem apart from other environmental contaminants that also owns it so on the net oh my belongs to. The team has already taken lots of samples from the rhine and the numbers are scary at the surface they found an average of close to one million particles per square kilometer and theyve worked out that the rind astrology is one hundred ninety one million micro plastics particles towards the north sea every day. This means the rhine has some of the worlds highest measured concentrations of these particles. Professor Patricio Hahn is leading the study she says micro plastics are entering the environment in large volumes from a wide range of sources but the dangers are not widely appreciated. So along my plastic border see so long. When people see plastic bottles or seals strangled by fishing nets they swim until then they do something about it a curfew. Of this kind of mexico but these particles are so tiny they tend to get overlooked because they had a much lower loss of them for course thomas monny analyzes the samples from the rhine first he sifts the soup from the river three times through ever finer serves he then adds enzymes and Hydrogen Peroxide which dissolved the organic material but not the plastic the tiny particles hes looking for are five millimeters or less in diameter. Once most of the organic material has been removed he analyzes samples under the microscope he counts the tiny pieces of plastic and calculates how much micro plastic per square kilometer is swirling at the surface of the rhine. This sample from the german dutch border indicates a concentration of well over three million particles per square kilometer so where does all this plastic come from. Firstly many microscopic particles are actually made that way. So they used in lots of personal Care Products and in manufacturing all kinds of products. That are of five years that are shared when you wash clothes made from synthetics. As well as fragments from everyday items that get into waste water or directly into the river or there arent enough to fals. That hasnt yet been Much Research on the dangers micro plastics represent for animals here in bars or theyre investigating how much micro plastic can be found in the fish in the rhine once the particles with their baggage of toxins make their way into the food chain into shellfish and fish they can also end up on our dinner plates. Back to africa joy did you know that tobacco is malawis most important export or that its called green gold and theyre all about malawi is among the top ten producers of tobacco in the world but it comes at a great cost in t. The monoculture is degrading the soil its bad for Farming Families health and farmers income fluctuates widely in line with the price of tobacco on the world market now the Malawi Government and germanys International Development agency have set up a project to help farmers diversify and grow a wide range of other plants lets take a look. Ot harvest time the whole family hits the plantations to help peter feel hes is about to farmer has been for decades. Its all done by hand with every single leaf in hong individually to dry as well has been an exhausting job its also one healthy due to the. Toxins contained in the tobacco that enter the farmers pour the through the skin. And these days its increasingly hard to make profit she turned years ago. She was im struggling to support my family. Members into. Which. One i was under was so i wouldnt hang school fees for my children its becoming hard because tobacco is not giving me another income. Not enough to support my family ten years already when i turn to. The government to malawi once in the great farmers like peter farey from this unhealthy dependence on tobacco. Very long Way University of agriculture has a Training Program for advisors. They help farmers learn modern techniques such as environmentally friendly irrigation and cooperation to maintain the soil quality although the primary objective is for people to grow plants and a better income the program seems to be bearing fruit in manoa has switched from tobacco to soya beans and other products you know hopes the next harvest will see more money coming last so i think i still pose a Health Hazard to back with dogs i stopped because there was only one market but now with. The global market. So this my cash flow now is increasing so the prices are better than the present bit of and the farmer has been asking for additional advice from the experts of the university traditional methods of worked in the past may no longer be so effective other change in conditions. For example the specific we have been hoping the farm on the best specific of the crop was previously they were much exploring they recommended a specific but now they can do good spacing and then they can produce a very good crop and again when it comes to system of seed to grow what you the best to seed was the changes in the climate we need to see to that can mature much and as with any production distribution is important so what go is largely destined for export so your hands on flowers for the mess to consumers theres still room for improvement on that front which is where a german Development Agency comes in were looking for companies that have an interest to engage with the farmers that are seeing their business as more than just buying but theyre ready to invest their ready to invest into the relations with the families. The agency is goal is a network when foot companies provide farmers with low cost seeds and undertake to buy the resulting harvests effect prices. Of vegetable altered you saw in the long way has a very committed to the project and its own interests. We support the production and we encourage them to produce more so than they were to sell to us over the years we have seen that there is an increase because the Previous Year we bought about a thousand times but this year weve been able to buy about fourteen thousand times the Company Makes coconut oil from the seeds mostly for the domestic market its also committed to Sustainable Production keeping the entire production chain from the sowing of seeds to the bucklin of oil in malawi now if we are good producer who are located we could hear more demand for oil since going by the smaller the farmer thank you. I do not have also bush said on the prices that it was a point of how much they defer it would certainly welcome a boost to his earnings last year his struggle to sell his tobacco harvest where advisers help him with his next egypt ration has likely to shift and other plans and make himself even less dependent on tobacco production. And thats all the time we had for this edition of eco africa brought to you by dr beller in germany k. P. N. In kenya and channels t. V.

News line from berlin a show of defiance in barcelona nearly half a million cattle and separatists take to the streets in support of their Regions Parliament this comes hours of just vanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announces plans to dissolve catalonia government and call and of the election to find out from madrid and barcelona not what this could mean also coming up. Results from elections in the Czech Republic show the countrys next Prime Minister could be a populist billionaire andree popish says he is on no party wants to take an active role in shaping policies. Im welcome to the program this week spain gave catalonia an ultimatum withdraw your declaration of independence or face the consequences today Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy made good on his warning but during says it plans to sack catalonia leaders and in a televised address catalan president colace put on said he would call on his palm and to hold a session to discuss a response to madrid actions large crowds rallied in barcelona to support independence. For these catalogs madrids response is get another insult hundreds of thousands of separatist demonstrators took to barcelona streets on saturday their dream of Catalan Independence goes on despite the central governments dramatic step. I guess they wanted out with this action what the Spanish Government with the support of its socialist and liberal allies has carried out the worst attack on catalan institutions and the catalan people since the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco since. The government of knocking out of the hallway wants to authorize a directive without consent with little support and against the will of the majority that would control catalan life from madrid. He was hoping it didnt have to come to this in triggering article one fifty five of spains constitution Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has turned to what he considers a measure of last resort in the growing political crisis between madrid and barcelona. The autonomy and Self Governance of catalonia will not be suspended it will remove the people that put the autonomous government outside the law and the constitution even if. Self governance will not and it will be recovered for the sake of its legality and for the coexistence of all catalans not just those who are pro independence. Under romneys plan Catalan Affairs come under madrids direction Regional Elections would be held within six months they would exclude members of the current government of carlist push them on from madrid this is seen as a logical step but it is unacceptable for many caught a months among the demonstrators in barcelona and other members of his government. Theyve denounced madrids move as a step too far for now catalonia his government in barcelona is Still Standing the Spanish Senate will decide on friday whether to approve Prime Minister roys decision to trigger article one fifty five his conservative Peoples Party holds a majority of the senate seats but lets hear about how cuts alone is reacting to these latest moves of a so joins me now from boss alone uprise good to see you so how did people react to what pushed him or her to say. People still quiet in the square behind me which is the square in front of the Government Palace right to nine oclock when he started speaking before the mood has been really festive lots of chanting and laughing and generally enjoying river volution there is spirit but then when which one had finished speaking as things sort of fell flat throughout the because we what he had given them well lots of big words but not what they had been avoiding for i think that was a real declaration of independence this poison cellos he has sort of handed over to parliament problem and will meet on monday and then probably again next week and everybody is still waiting will they do it or will they not do it will they declare redeclare independence or not we will see next week the cat and mouse game between barcelona and madrid goes on and so the question now is can push them on and perhaps even the parliament now deliver what catalan separatists are expecting. He cant really deliver anymore he can deliver emotions he can sort of a with their feelings he can make them feel great puts them on talked about in english appealing to the people of europe chocked about the european nation of how to lonia and however what he can really do is force this through for them because its quite clear this is what the situation is like money on the heart the Prime Minister has announced it today and it is a matter of only a few days during the run off next week that power will be taken away from carlos puts demand and he will have to hand over he will be gone as a political figure so he can talk the talk but he cannot walk the walk he cant deliver what people want madrid will take over Barbara Faisal joining us from buffalo and i thank you. As our cross over to the spanish capital madrid where journalist Martin Roberts is standing by martin how do you think madrid is likely to react to put it on its latest address. Well the most important thing as barbara said is that he didnt actually mention the word independence which. Has most of pigeon so. Many changes in the plan which is for the senate. To moms. Sell his right to reply give him a hearing because again they wont proceed youre not hearing what hes got to say first now remains to be seen whether he will actually accept that solution because. Repeated invitations who are dressed the. Ones in. The first punch line in the second so have a second son so thats the next step is to see whether he will actually come to enjoy. Their testimonies were that iran can see what he has. But time is ticking theres an election which is set to take place in about six months what does madrid hope to get out of the fresh election in catalonia. Well i think what they want says a majority not some. Independents and some majority which is not likely to try again until the constitutional or unconstitutional. I mean to be deputy Prime Minister. As far as they were. There which by the way will you know will still be allowed to meet and so its officially it is all they can talk about anything they want shorter remember was actually the constitution doesnt parse tree. Until then but i did it ruined castle its on since it the situations in every county consider us. Against. The situation so we can look forward to a lot of tension with more next.

Its much to a nothing that more than a quarter of the way through the season already and its looking like a three horse race for the championship. And watch out hamburg byron are in town and with new coach your kind is the champions are brimming with confidence. Well check out dortmund to the high scoring table toppers trouble to frankfurt a club that has proven tough to beat on home turf who would prevail. Pablo photo welcome to the bundesliga on d w lets start with birons trip north to hamburg since your pint is returned a few weeks ago for his fourth stint in charge munich squad appears to have woken up and remembered theres a championship to be won in his two games in charge theyve scored eight goals and not yet conceded another victory they could even go top of the table and if hamburgs record against biron is anything to go by i think this would be jumping for joy for a Third Straight game of the last in their seven attempts against munich and are desperate for a win their last bundesliga victory was way back in august. Hamburg knew they were going to need all the help they could get against their bogey team by a munich. Maybe ham on the hefty mascot could help keep things tight at the back. In the first half hamburg did throw everything they had in byrons way the visitors piled on the pressure and tallied sixty eight percent possession but struggled to create chances and threw a ball from kingsley komang ended up with aryan robins shot hitting the side netting. Some excitement after forty minutes gideon young stopping come on in his tracks. And the referee sent him to an early show or a hard but justifiable decision. Came on after the interval hoping to kick start the byron attack and five minutes later david with the cross. And current on to the so open the scoring for the bavarians the frenchman not offside and mothers presence did indeed provide the spark. But he only lasted ten minutes on the pitch before thought problem sent him back to the bench hamburg to stave off defeat but andre hollands late shot pushed over the cross by spending. The hapless hosts have now failed to score in four straight home games and sundays results could even sink them into the drop zone. Bar and meanwhile continue their upswing under your pint this three wins nine goals scored none conceded even if it took some hard work against ten men hamburg. It was a week to forget for dortmund the table toppers suffered a concerning home defeat to leipsic last time out and then there was their embarrassing draw against nicosia in the Champions League the pressure was on to bounce back in their away clash against frankfurt the hosts have won their last three home games against a black and yellow but the spite that coach was prepared for an uphill battle with only a limited supply of players to choose from due to injury. Roman birky raring to go the news for you a contracts promise to give a donkey for much needed boost it was a show of support but seemed to do the trick dorman not threatening in the opening stages mark butler surged towards the goal and nervy shahin slotted in. The black and yellows in front of the nineteen minutes. Dangerous zombie attack but also leaky in defense frankfurt had no shortage of chances but failed to capitalize but he was not letting anything past his posts the second half was as intense as the first appear and what it about me young just missing out here. But the dogman fans were soon given something to cheer about to Maximilian Philip was unstoppable and made it to nearly fifty seventh minutes. Sure for when coach peter bosch switched around his defense it was a fatal error burkey took down and to really bit a penalty. Sebastian kept his nerve to pull one back for frankfurt and four minutes later marius evolves levelled for scores it was a pinpoint pass that set him up for dortmund defense was nowhere. If incompetence of the im completely unsatisfied we had to win this game we knew it wouldnt be easy because of our defense we had to change everything around and we knew then it wouldnt be easy and it wasnt but when youre too near the head you have to win the game action of them was meant to be given to all of the final score after being to go was up for dortmund it felt more like a defeat than a draw. Well as weve just seen dortmund fans havent had it easy over the past week first they lost to leipzig then they drew against nicosia in the Champions League and now they gave up a two goal lead to draw against frankfurt so our twitter user base and barsa queen made her feelings known in this tweet and theyre probably shared by most of the clubs fans so lets see if dortmund give them something to smile about in the cup and in this league next week that one of the teams heart on dortmunds heels after that draw rb leipzig who managed a one theyll win against stuttgart. Curled in a beauty past run roberts in the twenty second minute and that was all the scoring his side needed absolutely no chance of stopping at this one sabbaths it was only on the pitch because bruma was injured in the warm up and leipsic wind up with just one point less than the table toppers. Now this years rhineland darby also happens to be between two of the blunders league is fiercest rivals and leave a cause they share a common goal playing in europe next season are flying high with an impressive run of form thanks in part to their solid defense laver couzens performances on the road have been poor in fact heading into the clash they havent won an away game theyre frustrated fans have been demanding victories theyre worried that their campaign may end up being a repeat of last seasons disappointing twelfth place finish high intensity jule between these two all rivals was in store. Plot back went into the game on the back of two straight wins and was last in line find foam they were cruising coach heiko halleck might have been fearing the worst and it looked a tough ask for the visitors when fabby and johnson put gladbach ahead on seven minutes the host said the top four in their sights but local rivalries can be strange games sometimes and so it proved soon after the break leverkusen level the schools three spend benda his first league dont faze new club lot but keep a young somma wont want to see this one again. The game flipped completely just before the hour mark of the young bailey making it too long to lay the clues and it was a smart finish from the jamaican winger who showed pinpoint accuracy in the heat of a fervent pond as they get a. Moments later in the visitors or in dreamland of germanys yulian brands again embarrassing sama and black back busty to hacking. The live accusing search continued and struck a kid in full on showed off their rich attacking options to make it for one before the right was completed by you know poll young polo. Inconsistent labor killers and had suddenly dished out a thumping. At least i believe the team made a great step forward with that second half to splay. Glad that fans trudged home in disgust five one is no way to lose a home a pool zones are suddenly very difficult to explain after the one one we completely fell apart we allowed them to counterattack it will command us. Theyve the coups and went to the top with the players quite literally jumping for joy. Well now its time to take a look at the results so far today nine and as you can see theyre up against byron munich that draw between frankfurt and dortmund leipzig one against god glad one leverkusen five what an amazing game and then of course slipped up against hanover shall be two minds on friday night and then of course we have three games coming up on sunday cologne against Braman Freiburg against berlin host hoffenheim so now its time to take a look at the table so far on match day nine and as we can see dortmund hold on to the top spot there but look whos just hot on their heels thats byron munich they also have twenty points leipzig just one point behind them and then there is a little bit of movement here and fourth fifth and sixth shell can move up hoffenheim moved hand over move also moved and lets take a look down at the other end of the table and we can see no change at the bottom cologne Braman Freiburg but oh peer there is a little bit of movement. All moved down. So that we asked you on twitter for your play of the day the winner is. That its here with this scorcher for leipsic.

Mckenna takes pause the roots of the jihad the german journalist is interested in the other side of the conflict but has the world in its grip and her memoir she writes of watching found is somewhat a hobbit is a beginning and was moved by this and always has to look for these encounters because i think the only way we can try to understand these people is if we talk to them and put forward our arguments if you read the book you will see that i spoke. The i ask commander in the car. And a disco. Diva says gushing continued to the point when he put his hand in his right trouser pocket and i knew he was carrying a gun. And i knew i had to tone down my critical questions. But i did try to argue with these people and try to understand how they became who they are. The daughter of his moroccan immigrants grow up between two cultures when the western world was attacked on september the eleventh two thousand and one supposedly in the name of religion and it felt a responsibility as both a muslim and a journalist. To fall on his five m. Honest but i met the widow of a firefighter who was killed in the september eleventh attacks and his widow said to us journalists i think the media and the politicians are also to blame for what happened on nine eleven. When we asked her why she said because nobody has explained why there are people who hate us so much and why they hate us. And volume has. Become radical mckennitt wants to comprehend to hear valid in one on one dialogue she speaks fluent arabic and she has two things that work to her advantage. Interviews. Before i start an interview with jihadi leaders of jihad groups or foot soldiers or recruiters i always explain that im a journalist everyone knows i work for the Washington Post i make no secret of that and we dont do undercover stories i tell them i will listen to your side of things i want to ask you critical questions because perhaps i heard things about you from other people but i will publish the answers you give me fairly in my article.

Dialogue seems possible and can its networks bring to the of the socalled. Calm of course they made certain demands he must leave your mobile phone at the hotel and i mustnt carry any id or Electronic Devices no bags just a pencil a notebook. Thats the decision i had to make here. I thought about it carefully and then i went to this meeting this meeting but i did leave an envelope with phone numbers and other instructions with my colleague who was waiting back at the hotel. Just in case i didnt return that evening. Because. She did return but the threats remained constant companions and not just from my ass in two thousand and eleven she was thrown in jail by the egyptian intelligence service. And i moved in but they threatened me with all kinds of things tied me up blindfolded me and led me into a room where a woman was screaming would be mine to follow you and i thought now maybe they are going to rape me just with other decision this was a point where as a journalist a woman and a human being you reach your limits and wish them to get you have to find a way to overcome a mentor to overcome the fear. And then decide to continue so inside that sorts of. Turmoil the questionable game of world powers and an ideology that plays on fear. And it takes a close look at the conflict situation. This would be very problematic if we saw it from the perspective that this conflict is linked to islam and people hate the west because they are muslims that is exactly what these people want they want us as a society to see it as a problem between religions and that a religious conflict a religious war is happening and we should not do then that favor the five money just. A memoir titled i was told to come alone will soon be published in arabic. Wants to be heard in the arab world to. Babylon berlin is germanys most ambitious and expensive t. V. Series ever it all started as a crime novel written by this man. Hes fascinated by germany in the roaring twentys a time of upheaval. To be honest i became fascinated with his ear as soon as i was old enough to read how germanys first democracy blossomed but so quickly faded with the start of the third reich. And for the entire. Its a period of great tragedy. Its a tragedy that fascinates him so much so that he quit his job and began writing the resulting six crime novels about the one nine hundred twenty s. And thirtys in berlin. Now the first of those novels has been adapted into a sixteen episode t. V. Series and what a series it is. Babylon berlin with a budget of forty Million Euros this berlin is a metropolis thats home to poverty drug abuse and crime a volcano waiting to erupt fascinating and modern the series paints an authentic and gripping portrait of the german capital in that era. Cup and there was an incredible explosion of creativity art and culture it was so much going on especially in berlin. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants mainly from Eastern Europe arrived and were made to feel welcome in a city where millions of people filled the streets. With ustaz and. Its. A crime writer who does Amazing Research and comes up with an incredibly vivid portrait of the era. Where the beauty of it is never good. Police and communists battle it out on the streets of berlin both the novel and the series are accurate down to the smallest detail. As precise as a history book and as exciting as a thriller straight out of hollywood. Doesnt deal with the t. V. Series and the novel are two very different while its highly out of three screen writers and directors as much leeway as possible i said we need to tell the same story with the same spirit how we see this here and transport the same message but otherwise tell it. If you feel you have to. Most of void. The main character of the series is detective gailey on heart a heroin addict left deeply scarred by world war one hes a typical figure out the period he has to hide his suffering while working for the Homicide Department in a world with perverted morals.

Charlie is a prostitute by night a typist by day. That iraq was a time of change especially for women who demanded their fair share in the society shaped by the weimar republic. Well. Its a pulitzer you know its a myth just garbage i think this is why as a woman you can identify with this era the women have a real mobilizing force its a period of change women can draw. Ive cars and so on but its still in the early stages does about allison and im feeling. This series has just celebrated its german premiere in berlin and had its International Premiere in los angeles its been sold to over sixty countries and further seasons are in the pipeline and for. Still writing three more daily on heart novels are still to come taking us into the darkest hours of nazi germany. So its more difficult than i imagined id like to finish at a time when we know where the journey is headed how dark its become in germany for me thats nine hundred thirty eight on the november pogroms. Of the t. V. Series and the novels provide excellent entertainment and simultaneously ask how fragile is democracy and how can we protect it. Cultural highlights picked up on our radar.

This used to be a storage site for grain now the converted provides ample space with one hundred exhibition rooms for sculptures photos paintings and installations all finally on display in africa. Its very important that we have a museum like this of scale so that we have voices that could be heard that we could have multiple exhibitions running at the same time from many Different Countries across africa or them so that we can demonstrate the richness this richness has not gone unnoticed by the international scene.

When you start coming across something that you havent seen before and you cant quite explain it but its a booking in motion that was. Question is. To open your eyes and change your perspective this is what you want. Is it enough to just be different.
