Hello im terry martin good to have you with us the log jam in Britains Parliament has. Finally broken after almost 2 and a half years of wrangling caused by a government that has no majority lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved Prime Minister Boris Johnsons call for a snap election on december 12th it will likely center on britains departure from the European Union with johnson hoping to secure a majority to finally get his brags of deal done the vote may be the last chance for british voters to have their say on the issue. Finally something they could agree on britain needs a shake up. The our eyes to the right 438 the nose to the left at 20 so the eyes have it the ayes have it it was a moment of near unanimity and the most devoted of parliament. There is only one way to restore the esteem in which our democracy is held and to recover the respect to which parliament should be held by the people of this country and that is finally to offer also to the judgment of the people of this country and i have to say johnson slipping fresh elections deliver him a majority to force through breaks it once and for all his opponent however will be campaigning on other issues labor backs a general election because we want this country to be rid of these reckless and destructive conservative government. A government a government that has caused more of our children to be living in poverty more pensioners to be in poverty and more peoples of a in work poverty. Such themes may contrast with the mood in what will be the 1st christmas election since 1923 politicians have a job on their hands ring a weary electorate more preoccupied with shopping. And i just i think disillusioned is the west but i think a lot of pressures paid to the situation say somethings got to be right because im sick and tired is that most of the population of this country is sick and tired of brechts it. Patience is running out no with polls showing this election could result in another divided parliament the season of giving may well threw up some unexpected surprise. Well for the very latest now lets cross over to london where our correspondent to get mass is standing by burger that britain is still deeply divided over breaks at how is a fresh elections supposed to settle the issue well Boris Johnson clearly hopes that hes having a new parliament after this election so hes been blaming parliament for digging defeat for not making brags that happen haldeman has really scrutinised Boris Johnsons government very hard and they forced him for example to an extension to not leave the European Union no idea and if a table but they really made him also an extension so Boris Johnson and parliament are really at loggerheads with each other and hes hoping that the new parliament will come with a clear conservative majority now in the polls that might be the case he is leading but we dont know whether this actually is going to town out the way he likes or whether at the end of this we are none the wiser. Boris johnson and his conservatives are facing really strong opposition from a number of areas what sort of difficulties is he going to face going into this election with the especially against the against the labor party. Well against the labor party theyre going to campaign also on domestic issues they want to also tighten slightly away from direct campaigning on renationalisation maybe on Health Service Boris Johnson has a lot to fear there also from niger for us say Boris Johnsons conservative government already trying to come across as the government that pushes brakes its true however he hasnt made it happen yet and nicer for us with this new breads that party is a very effective campaigner whos more or less been campaigning for the last months so they might eat away votes on the right of the conservative party so its not going to be plain sailing for Boris Johnson even though in the polls he is leading and has much better pinion proles also than hes direct opponent Jeremy Corbyn from the labor party ok so weve got a winter vote coming up december 12th close to christmas the 3rd election in 5 years or voters in the u. K. Looking forward to the spirit. I think of you as voters most of them will have a deep sigh as and oh my god another election and i cant hear anything more about bricks and so they really worn out by the whole political debate by the back and forth about brett said but i think a lot of people do feel very strongly about brecht said so in the end i think that they will come out and they will vote even though they might rather snuggle on the safe with a blanket when its cold in december ok very good thank you so much our correspondent there in london. 5 some of the other stories making headlines around the world today thousands of antigovernment demonstrators have taken to the streets in chiles capital santiago for a 12th day of protests demonstrators clashed with police who used tear gas and water cannon the protesters are demanding greater equality and better Public Services.

The discovery of 39 bodies in a truck trailer near london last week has turned the spotlight on security at european ports through which millions of tons of freight pass every week most of the victims are thought to have come from vietnam and their journey to the u. K. Took them through the belgian port of zipper ago now questions are being raised about security procedures there the reporters on the n s a and max sent this report from xavier. Its the end of a long work day truckers prepared to spend the night nears able to go port theyll be driving again tomorrow. Theyve been on edge since last week when 39 bodies were found in a truck that passes through here they worry that smugglers could use their containers to send migrants to the u. K. Without their knowing truck or nickel thats going to claims it happened to one of his colleagues so 6 people got inside his truck yeah 6 people into a Mccormick Police cars going to. Program but this hasnt happened to you i am not denying these men no no no no just shows us the c. E. O. That he attaches to the back of each container he moves. You know the back door cant be opened without destroying the bolt was. Still the gadget isnt foolproof and others at the truck park told us smugglers can always get around the security measures. As truckers settle in for the night dock workers continue to load the next ship bound for the u. K. Its hard not to wonder whether one of these containers might be full of people. Is able to get is one of the busiest trucking container ports in the world with 40000000 tons of goods passing through here annually security here is tight but Authorities Say that with so many containers coming and going its impossible to make sure that humans are not being smuggled across these waters to england. Every truck delivering a container to the dock must pass through this kind of control point officials take several photos of the truck as well as of the driver and the license plate they checked the photos but no one here checks the seals thats up to the shipping companies and only about one out of every 100. 00 trucks is x. Rayed to check the cargo harbormaster peter dakota says the Port Authority cannot have an overview of what the trucks are carrying was able to get the budget and personnel that would create massive delays he says. Its good if you would be able to scan every single continue but where do you do that is it only in the port is that the only responsibility of the port or is the whole chain of logistic events involved in this i ask if he believes there are ways to stop the human smuggling and the deaths that often result but i think 1st of all we should do everything that is possible to avoid them thats one main thing but of course were dealing with criminal activity and criminal activity and they are always one step ahead unfortunately and if you tighten controls in the port then they will move somewhere else the local and National Police declined to comment on their role in enforcing security its a bargain. For now it seems that smugglers will continue to operate using this port as a key point in their clandestine and sometimes deadly industry. Many parts of the world are becoming Cashless Society says Digital Payments with credit cards and other devices become faster and more convenient but people here in germany europes strongest economy are bucking that trend here more than in any other european country cash is still very much king fiske most. Of those. Across europe many consumers are increasingly using Digital Payment methods except the germans more than half of the countrys population cant imagine going completely cashless far more than the european average german still want people to show them the money. Why not im worried but its easier to get ripped off when you use cards i prefer to have money on my wallet or to put money in this when its really in the lead you have to use cash for everything i pay by card all the time but in germany thats not so common so you you should have cash i think its because of the mentality or the way people think i respect that because i think its always nice to have some money in your pocket but when i 1st came to germany. It took me some time to get used to it with me to take cards unfortunately no. Paying cash maintains anonymity which is perhaps why the germans are so unwilling to give it up. Business psychologist has been studying the popularity of cash payment in the german speaking world and its causes a lot of the perfume considered theres an intense fear among us of cashews being drastically reduced or eliminated so you can see we dont want others to have too many and over us we want autonomy we want freedom and the practicality that using cash offers the bargain. But germans are slowly getting used to cashless Payment Methods 2018 was the 1st year when more transactions were done by payment cards than in cash. But each german has an average of around 100. 00 euros in their wallet that flex their skepticism and it seems to be a particularly german skepticism many in britain for instance dont carry any cash at all theyre increasingly paying without paper notes or coins like here at a market in london. Even street performers are starting to switch from coins collected in a guitar case to cashless Payment Methods princess had trini has been busking in london for 2 years and always has his portable card reader with him he says the cashless option makes people more likely to give him donations or even buy his c. D. s. A couple of years ago. Because ive noticed that loads of people are now carrying our all cash i decided to buy a portable card reader. That actually gave gave me a big they friends of mine called even britains Nonprofit Institutions are joining the cashless age admission to the Tate Modern Museum is free but museums are encouraged to make a donation which they can now do just by tapping.
