Last so long farewell readers in goodbye the words some brits just refused to say can a new campaign convincing you kids greggs it be a republic to back a second referendum on europe. Hello and welcome im under that chiba the leader of germany social democrats martin show says he really no longer seek the post of foreign minister in a future grand Coalition Government or any other post in the new cabinet on wednesday schultz a sparty struck a deal of a chance to angle americas conservatives should give up the s. P. D. Leadership and announced his intention to take the post Office Foreign minister. But that ambition grew strong criticism from s. P. D. Members who must ratify the Coalition Deal in a vote sure said hed made the decision to ensure the success of the vote lets have a listen to what he said i will not be taking up opposed to in the German Government i sincerely hope this will end the debate within the s. P. D. About who does what we are all in politics for the people of this country that means my personal ambitions must come second to the interests of the party. The wives of martin short me now is political scientist madea two from the university in berlin academic focus is on comparative Political Behavior welcome to you first of four how surprising did you find Martin Schulz decision to give up on the post of foreign minister well not very surprising actually i mean he has strong competence based on his experience as a former president of the e. U. Parliament however there was strong criticized criticism insight of the party and he knew his standing wasnt very well so i didnt find it too surprising in fact as you said not everyone in this body was happy that he might have become foreign minister lets take a listen now to the acting foreign minister a sigma also from the s. P. D. Party this is what he had to see it is sad to see the lack of respect we now have for each other in the s. B. To how little a previously made promise now means those were the words of Gabriela Maria what did he actually mean by that have previously made province promise and do you think that influence the decision of not insurance definitely has been a part of the equation so there are rumors there. That shows promise gabrielle that she would stick to her minister Foreign Ministry if they would go again into a grand coalition but this was like long ago when decided to step down a surprise to a leader of the social democrats however we dont really know what happened there and of course its also speculation that hed been offered the post of foreign minister Martin Schulz in return for giving up Party Leadership that way now he also says martin she was a part of the decision was based on the fact that these votes coming up from the is the rank and file on the Coalition Agreement and what impact do you think his decision will have on the vote on the fourth of march i guess is going to be a year makes the impact the course and some people are going to be relieved of the actual does not prime become. Foreign minister so if he said from the very beginning he would not take up a post in the cabinet of Angela Merkel however some people might think theres even more controversial now because of the back and forth so they might see that as a good point actually and what does this mean for Martin Schulz madia from the god of hero to zero he was elected party leader ahead of the election with a hundred percent backing of his spot its a big deep fault it shows how. Living in todays policies politics is and yeah i dont see any Important National position for him now in National Politics but we never know this right and also because he was very active on the european parliamentary stage but lets take a look at another aspect do you think these kind of developments within the is that he would have any impact on the Coalition Agreement because after all Martin Shultz was the one who negotiated the Coalition Agreement on behalf of the s. P. D. This is a complicated question we dont really know that however i think that it will not impact in the decisions that have been already taken so the policies that are great on so far so its more of an internal is more fun for us to write a month or two from the university here in berlin thank you very much thank you. Listen take a look at some other stories making news around the wild u. S. President donald trump has signed a bill into law increasing the federal budget and ending a brief Government Shutdown the senate and the house of representatives have previously passed the bill it will fund the government through march twenty third and increase overall spending limits over the next two years.

Jetting out to south korea where the twenty third Winter Olympics officially opened with an extravagant set of many in china and president moon in a declared the two thousand and eighteen winter games open the fireworks going off. Nearly three thousand athletes from ninety two countries to marched into the packed stadium for the Opening Ceremony the games have had to overcome multiple hurdles ahead of the winter to just invent the sea and the athletes would be looking to put all their troubles behind them and focus on the sport in the coming days ahead. Joining me for more is my colleague from good sport says welcome mat an extravagant ceremony with korean characteristics absolutely there was definitely a distinct korean flavor to all the pageantry that we saw not only in the sort of some of the symbols that were going around i mean the ceremony began with a group of children on a small stage you know appearing next to a tiger a real tiger and when the athletes began the procession it was done in the order of the korean alphabet which meant that nigeria of all countries went first this is actually nigerians first appearance in the Winter Olympics they brought a womens bobsled team and africa is actually quite robust with five or six countries from africa this time. You know stealing the show as ever. He was a taekwondo athlete in brazil two years ago as you can see hes very athletic guy and hes also good at crosscountry skiing so hes back in these olympics the korean. South and north korea came out under one single you know Korean Peninsula civil flag they got a very warm welcome from the stadium there and you know this is the first time that theyve teamed up theyve done in two thousand and. Four and two thousand and six that kind of continued with more of the sort of pageantry and this definitely had the korean flavor. Ending finally with a group of children on a small makeshift raft and also elements of this ceremony showing off koreas Technological ProwessCompanies Like l. G. And samsung are worldwide known so korea was definitely showing off the best of what they had to offer in this and thats of the opening ceremonies you do now the official said money has just finished and the event has kicked off but some events started before that yeah in fact curling is actually in its second day of competition the mixed doubles which is a new competition very interesting match today usa was leading switzerland three want to going into the final frame and switzerland pulled off something that you dont often see has never happened before this is what you call a six ender when one team has all six of its stones in the house as they say on that little target thing and us were not exactly happy with that outcome but theyre not eliminated yet theres still four teams sort of on top of that leaderboard all level on points so theres still a lot of curling yet to be played this is not everyone got off to a brilliant start at the olympics what happened for example in figure skating oh yes weve had some falls in the Short Program for the Team Competition most notably perhaps patrick chan he is a canadian figure skater hes one of the favorites in the singles competition for the men but in the Team Competition things. Didnt end up well he did and luckily his teammates on the Canadian Team performed well enough that canada actually went through in first place after the Short Program everyone else was quite on top of their game so he will get a chance to do his long program skates in the Team Competition this weekend and lets just hope patrick has a better day at the office when that comes around yeah absolutely how modifying for him matalin thank you very much for being us up to date on the olympics thank you. And staying with developments in the court of arbitration for sport has turned down an appeal by forty seven russian athletes and coaches to compete at the games now russians had been banned from taking bottom by the International Olympic committee over state sponsored doping in sochi four years ago they argued theyd been vhong excluded from the games but the court of arbitration for sport said the io sees decision was unfair or discriminatory was not unfair or discriminatory now these games also have a historic political aspect a high level government delegation from north korea attending the opening ceremonies officials included kim your jong the sister of north Korean Leader kim jong il and she is the first member of the north ruling going to sea to visit the south officially the two countries are still at war but these olympics appear to have started a full in relations at the Opening Ceremony athletes from the two countries walk side by side under a unity flag. And let me join our correspondent Jason Strother he is in a gun in south korea jason to what extent is the presence of kim jong dominating events that. Certainly made some amazing Photo Opportunities and we see shots of president shaking her and so she was there in the p. Box as president. Minister shinzo on. As well as Vice President mike pence all watched the opening ceremonies certainly a big deal and where did this leave the delegation from the u. S. Which was headed by Vice President mike pence was it diplomatic or witness. Well the media here is more or less saying Vice President pence snub the north korean delegation even before the Opening Ceremony there was a dinner reception hosted by president moon and reports say that Vice President pence pretty much showed up and said hi to some people and avoided the north korean delegation before leaving so certainly in a leading up to the olympics north korea had said it had no interest in talking with the americans Vice President tense also was not entirely clear if that was on his agenda so maybe we cant be too surprised that there was a i see first meeting between the two sides and jason one of the people in a way you are how the koreans are reacting to north koreas participation in the games. You know there had been some apathy leading up to the olympics had there even be been some anger about the united korean womens Ice Hockey Team thats being fielded during these games but you know its hard to argue with the images that we saw coming from the Opening Ceremony the athletes the the athletes from north and south korea coming into the stadium together all dressed in their white long padded coats under the the united slag they looked so happy to be together it was a really festive occasion and perhaps thats going to rub off on the public. Right Jason Strother near kyung in south korea thank you very much. You are watching the news coming up ahead how to reverse the u. K. Flights to ones break that the campaign for a second a referendum on leaving the e. U. Ben joins me now on what goes down must come up then is it put out that way pretty much i mean things have been going up and down and down and up and reader all week a surprise rise of the New York Stock Exchange as wall street opened today traders looking to make up for some of the huge losses over the past days but the Dow Jones Industrial average is only just managing to keep its head above water in choppy trading the swings continue and have been severe over the past week the dow falling twice by more than a thousand points investors are worried about higher Interest Rates and rising bone yields many analysts believe the volatility is here to stay a while as the market corrects from the bullish trading of recent months. Lets bring in now wall street correspondent yes quarter resenting by at the New York Stock Exchange have you seen some very worried faces today. Well i mean overall traders still remain a rather calm and again nobody is really talking about a crash at this point what were seeing is a correction down ten percent from the highs that we saw and offered generally but still i mean the losses have been a really severe the s. And p. Five hundred since theres a high lost about two and a half trillion dollars in market value and today the market does remain unsteady at some point we saw a gain of a good two hundred points and we dropped to go to hundred and at the moment we have pretty much break even for the day coincidentally yes let me put it this way to you its almost the end of the era of easy money has a lot of that cheap cash being pumped into stocks rather than the real economy and investors in essence pulling it back out. Well we did see some investments in the past couple of years but yes mostly corporations have used the cheap money and were talking partly even below zero percent Interest Rates for most Companies Use this money to buy back stock to do some mergers and acquisitions increase the dividends and some of this money is. Going out now but its not just again bill its not just shifting money from one place to another there have been certain investments so yes would you say the main takeaway here is the fact that this isnt just a correction its not a crash but is the volatility here to stay i mean you talked about traders before but that doubt looks quite erratic. Well i mean we might see a fundamental shift and that volatility might stay with us and what is the fundamental shift in the past couple of Years Companies for example used those extremely cheap money to finance their operations and if money becomes debt specially becomes more Expensive Companies might be forced to get the money from somewhere else meaning they could for example be forced to sell shares and that would increase the pressure on the stock market so its pretty likely that those markets will not cause you time soon he ends quarter for us on wall street thank you. The german investors kept their cool friday despite the renewed falls on american Stock Exchanges frankfurts benchmark dax floating around one and two percent down over the day that was better than expected following wall streets dive on thursday over the week the dax has shed almost five percent after already losing four percent last week analysts here expect a swift recovery a reporter at the frankfurt Stock Exchange down your corpse and has this report on the general mood in frankfurt. Investors here at the frankfurt Stock Exchange are rather optimistic again they are quite relieved that we didnt see theres a massive correction as we have seen it twice this week happening on wall street here on europe volatility will be certainly a big topic next week the market is extremely nervous also will be getting the latest retailer report from the United States as well as g. D. P. Figures from europe and also for germany so certainly strong earth will be needed as well again. They fell in times day just around the corner ever thought about where all those flowers come from the netherlands kenya or maybe two of the big global produces britain also does its bit a colorful industry in this case using some shady ways to grow profits. Behind this seemingly ordinary field lie very dark practices police have found some two hundred Migrant Workers suspected of being held in slavery at this flower picking farm in cornwall in southern england. Most come from miscellany a romanian and bulgaria theyre now being interviewed by police are making sure that everybody being treated properly anyone that needs assistance on site or off the site theyre making that happen for them together with the council and all the other agent says also i would search is going on for offenses. Three men are in custody on suspicion of slavery offenses under modern day slavery people are forced to work long hours for little or no pay often under threat of violence at least thirteen thousand people are believed to be victims of various forms of forced labor in britain. Farmers in northern germany have a menorah motion see only hats new regulations allow the use of liquid manure on fields as a fertilizer for the first time theyve been stocking up Mother Nature is getting in the way and some landholders are up to the next it. For months rain has soaked the soil in northern germany. Now farmer peter luke can finally start spreading liquid manure and his fields the use of the slurry is controversial and its strictly regulated too much liquid manure can pollute the groundwater and ultimately contaminate Drinking Water with nitrates for farmers its a valuable nitrogen rich fertiliser in a form that can be spread evenly but the first load is all he can apply today. Ah due to five cards and theres no point the ground is still far too wet for i thought it was just frozen on top and would thaw out this afternoon but the soil is completely saturated will have to wait as we both know. But how long can he afford to wait his four hundred cows are producing more and more manure every day. The slurry pit where the animal waste is stored is almost full to the brim the same goes for most farmers in the region theyve been experiencing a manure emergency for months Environmental Protection organizations blame mass livestock farming for the slurry surplus all the eggers wants to see farmers switch to smaller units he says that otherwise Climate Change will exacerbate the manure crisis. Business. We know that the political guidelines will have to change only a farmers arent forced to mass produce to make money but can earn through quality will it be possible to get less manure on the fields when. Many farmers dismissed that as a pipe dream at the moment survival of the biggest is the rule only the largest farm successfully compete in todays globalized market peter lucas buying against farms in brazil new zealand and the us. Growth markets arent in europe thats the domestic market that we also supply but we have to sell to Southeast Asia and china would have to be competitive there and for that you have to be big enough falls every day the manure mountain continues to grow farmers who can afford to have built temporary pits to contain the waste that will buy them a few weeks time until the fields are dry again. Rita and the brits trying to stop breaks in the emphasis being on the what trying from ben now briggs opponents in the u. K. Have launched a campaign aiming to persuade britains thats a second referendum on you membership is needed campaigners argued there should be a final vote on the deal with busses this time voters would know what a future outside the e. U. Would actually look like but few people believe brags it can be stopped now as the latest report in our series wrote that shows. Stephen bright is determined. Determined to stop. Every day he said sub shop right opposite parliament hes taking time off work until he achieves his goal that there is the lords every window is one of the lords offices they. Are not going to let them forget were here with. A new Study Suggests that some who voted for breakfast now regret their decision thats extra motivation for Stephen Breyer and others like him should there be another vote for the people theyre going to have an end goal theyre going to see a charge of what they are actually voting for there has been a slight shift in Public Opinion and marginally more people would now vote to stay within the e. U. However the shift has not been dramatic enough to persuade many m. P. s here in the house of parliament to actively campaign for a second referendum. It would be up to members of parliament to pass legislation for another referendum there i hope the house is a liberal democrat m. P. Her party is one of the smaller ones and they are campaigning to overturn bracks it the leadership of both big Political Parties are committed to what appears to be more and more hard and the people need to understand whether that is really what they want do they want to have the travel restrictions to work restrictions are there actually happy that our economy might go down the too many pro european campaigns lobby online rather than in front of parliament theyre often run by young people posting with hashtags like e. U. Flag maffia. And there are petitions to parliament too. But outside one of londons big universities feelings amongst the mostly empty brecks of students are mixed as to whether they would like to have another say. Weve already made a decision and i think well stick with Something Like that sort of changing our minds or whatever i think a Second Chance is what we currently need so i think it will be really beneficial i was on the main side but i believe that weve already had one second debate is just going to be to more people asking for a. Referendum and its never going to and even here in Central London where the overwhelming majority voted to stay within the e. U. People are not too enthusiastic about another referendum and more bricks are leaving areas outside the capital the idea finds even less traction. So it seems likely that Stephen Breyer will remain a rather lonely voice outside parliament for the time being but that does not deter him in the slightest right.
