And we are now messy breaks his silence 4 of the worlds greatest footballer says hes staying at barcelona but only because the club wont let him leave. Us welcome to the program nato has added its voice to the growing calls for answers from moscow over the poisoning of russian Opposition LeaderAlexei Navalny the western alliance military alliance is demanding that the kremlin cooperates with an International Investigation russia denies any involvement this week the German Government concluded that mr novell me had been poisoned with a deadly nerve agent from the navi chalk rupe donald trump has now also weighed in the u. S. President says hes not seen any direct evidence that nirvana he was poisoned but he would be quote very angry if thats the case. Nato leaders meeting here to discuss an attempted assassination outside their borders why does nato believe that it would have a mandate to act in this case for an attack that was not on you know territory because this is a violation of International Law on International Norms its a use over chemical of so use over over you know chemical nerve agent which is violating her probation over any use over chemical weapons and the matter sir for one 3rd secretary general again stoltenberg says germany provided evidence beyond doubt that he knows the child a nerve agent was used on a russian dissident alexina valmy he also requested transparency from moscow is. Nato allies agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for to approve bishan of chemical weapons an impartial International Investigation. Dulce responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice. The kremlin has dismissed the conclusion reached by german doctors saying it has received no proof from the wind that no bellamy was poisoned. We listen to these lofty and pompous statements from our western colleagues with a certain amount of skepticism. We will see what facts they provide about the behavior itself in the public sphere such of noxious and arrogant demands in the toy that our western colleagues are using but i dont think they can provide anything other than fake evidence sort of. Development is still in a coma in a barely hospital and faces a long and uncertain road to recovery the nature of poisoning means answers will be hard to come by night and the European Union have not yet decided how they will react as they try to untangle the issue of standing up to someone who was not attacked on their soil.

It had been all quiet on the messy front since he shocked the world in late august with his request to leave barcelona the argentinian superstar and the catalan giants have been inseparable for the best part of 2 decades after both barsa and the Spanish League dug in their heels messi has spoken note. Which is not a question im going to trial is muddiness. I would never go to trial against the club i love the club that gave me everything that helped me ever since i got here the club of my life. But his announcement prompted a mixed reaction from a fan base previously united an observation. I think that his contract said that he couldnt leave and it is good that he didnt leave. But with all the mess he has created for barcelona to be honest its not very good because he doesnt give the impression that he wants to play for the team. So its good that hes staying. But its not ideal but if. The best player is staying at barcelona its always good news we never wanted him to leave and i dont think he wanted to leave either. Those glued to their phones on the rambler would have seen the little attacker couldnt resist Apartment Club president maria bar to mayo who he said didnt keep his word that he could leave.

Graham says a new neighborhood in cape town named after the pandemic will meet the South Africans building a new settlement after 19 years then home. Everything just because of this coverage there were lost jobs there with. Everything and thats why we have to. Remake the refugee teacher from south sudan whos using his education to pave the way for refugee children to go to university. And welcome to news africa. South africans have been left homeless by the coronavirus pandemic have resorted to building shacks in new informal settlements a surge in new squatter camps with names like sanitizer and curl in a village have drawn tough response from the local government that has responded with. Say they have nowhere else to go after losing their jobs and their homes because they could not pay rent.

Because everything just because of this poverty there were lost jobs there with nothing for us to mommy anything then thats why we have to take that. So laker shows us the makeshift hart where she lives with her boyfriend and 3 children. This place is too small of course one bed so where the children are going to sleep you see my house is also a leaking of spots i dont have anything to solve at the moment i dont have money but honestly. The family pays no rentier but the land doesnt belong to them. The people are setting up their shacks all over the place here lot of construction happening and many here are saying they dont have a choice because they cant afford to pay rent any longer but the city on the other hand says these illegal and invasions are causing huge problems city officials tell us there have been more than 30 new locations with massive land occupations in just the last 6 weeks law and order in danger cape town lost 300. 00 hectares of land in the last year what if the land was made for its lost whether it is all spittle screw clinic if a piece of land is standing open its because there is an intended Community Use for that and there is in the case of these big invasions where i will tell you that Community Leadership just stood up this is not a fight to be invaders against the state or land invaders against the city of quetta this is a fight of the land invaders against a city of quetta and local residents since june the city says it has torn down some 60000 hearts in some cases resulting in violence this man was pulled out of his hat naked at a court has now ruled that the city needs a court order for eviction and must offer alternative accommodation to squatters. Structures but the city cant afford that 400000 people are already on the waiting lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesnt get shorter and the reason it doesnt get shorter is because theres constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or the cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged.

And next report is from malawi way theres been a surge in teenage pregnancies during the pandemic aid groups say School Closures are partly to blame one district alone reported 5000 teenage pregnancy cases since the government ordered the closure of schools at the end of march now there is a race to get girls access to Reproductive Health services. A group of mothers have been making regular home visits providing guidance to young girls like 17 year old. She leaves some room in a village. She feel for moderate man who probably star is smartphone and food which turned out to be empty promise since now shes pregnant. You know when you when i was in school i used to have a lot of problems because my family is poor and i could not have soap body lotion clothing or features my mother failed to 10 for us children and so i was having sex and eventually got pregnant. Hes a saint she did not know but the man his money and his 2 children unfortunately she never used birth control. And i knew i was aware of Family Planning methods but my schoolmates deceived me they said using contraceptives would make me unable to have children so when the man proposed to me we had sex and he got me pregnant. Are outraged parents since. Her mother said she.

Take a look at some of the stories making news across the continent now the World Health Organization says that once a call that 19 vaccine is approved africa will get at least 220000000 initial says. This we need not necessarily cover all the needs of the continent but at least as we cover 20 percent of the african nation initially prairie. Dogs were in the front line the Health Care Workers then expanding to cover the narrowboat groups such as the elderly or those we for preexisting condition johannesburg residents have held a vigil for nathaniel julissa 16 year old boy with down syndrome who was shot dead by Police Last Week to Police Officers were charged with murder on monday the killing have sparked violent protests and forced president also to appeal for calm. The United Nations has warned that locusts on offer in parts of 7 africa countries affected all boats wanna move and assam via the un say its up to 7000000 people in the region off facing Food Insecurity the southern outbreaks are not related to the huge outbreak of billions off. In east africa. Well what for some may be the most normal thing in the world is an attainable for this access to education among refugees from south sudan only 69 percent of children and teenagers can go to Primary School and only 13 percent get secondary education a University Degree is practically out of reach for me now it is appalling south sudan has robbed young people off opportunities and forced them to flee some of them to ethiopia and one teacher they wants to give them a chance for a better future. James toot has come a long way the displaced from his home south sudan he finished university around triumph for refugee. When the war is the was on brogan any thoughts or done. That are now working with opium united while by university from 20 to 2010 of the 24th i have off to be employed by my government but while he finished his studies the war in south sudan continued needed to change his plans now he teaches of us who fled the conflict in south sudan. And hes also one of the vice principals here at the compelling julie refugee camp that is dying for me to throw my community in theater and that if you have your own country when we did come back then we would develop the country an ambitious goal for refugees the chances of completing their education are often small and nexus gets harder the older they get only 3 percent of all refugees and role in Higher Education more. James toot was one of them and thats why hes eager to give his students and his children a good head start their lives and i give them a better proponent of the women that didnt matter in their life than i would be a comfort for the most of them james today is making a difference thanks to his time at university. Its all original stuff that is if an obvious of the stories on. Africa or also on facebook and on twitter as always to get in touch with me i want to add one to a 7 i was interested to know what you think about all stories news africa and the stories that we should be covering today well leave you with pictures of the mean those in kenya yes these brightly kind of rare sight had to make that photo and the surrounding the legion now the clouds of pink all back enjoy have a lovely weekend back to. Back to the beginning for the racing history the stillness. It was the sensation that the 1950 long long forgotten restored with love and terser by the former mrs concert in stone. Hawk. Oh i read. 60 minutes d. W. Every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word heard from the. Coaches in germany to learn german and why not come with him simple online on your mobile and free to shop d w z learning course nikos for a german made c. Unemployment dropped for the United States but not for the case from the had hoped for well get the nations on the u. S. Labor market from our correspondent in new york. Also coming up an economy in crisis the flooring inflation the international functioned the collapse of the Oil Industry Needs venezuelans in dire straits. And want in the pipeline European Countries are divided over the face of north train to. This business im Kate Ferguson thanks for joining me u. S. Unemployment has dropped from 10 to 8 percent but theres concern over the pace of recovery just under 1400000 positions were added in august how about 2 thirds of julys figures the trends the jets that the u. S. Economy may take a longer it to be banned and expected. Job losses mounted faster in the u. S. Than anywhere else at the beginning of the pandemic. They were also supposed to rebound quickly. Thats the benefit of a flexible labor market where hiring and firing is easier compared to more regulated economies and often happens fast but the new job numbers give cause for concern. Following massive job losses in april hiring picked up in may and june in a big way but then slowed in july as Coronavirus Infections began to rise and now it slowed once again in august. The question now is when the labor market will find those jobs again with the u. S. Still struggling to control virus outbreaks. The new figures also add to the pressure on congress to extend federal benefits that expired in july a 600. 00 weekly unemployment supplement was supposed to keep families afloat as the labor market recovered but a full recovery now looks like it could be years away. Thats thing in our financial correspondent. But these numbers into context for us. Well i mean 1st of all a job growth so clearly is slowing in the past couple of months but job growth was a bit better than expected we got a lot of new jobs in the Hospitality Industry as you might see in the fact that people are getting creative finn and new york and there is no Indoor Dining so basically business moves up through the streets all for new york or off of brooklyn we also got you would jobson a retail but also a temporary jobs more than 200004 the 22 census so a jolt with those jobs wont last for a very long and if you look at the broader broad job picture about to 28000000 people even more are put on furlough meaning they are not officially unemployed but theyre also dont make any money at this moment so clearly there is still work that needs to be done to get this job market to where it was before the month of march and the end Small Businesses in particular are really struggling right now what kind of support to they need. Well i mean 1st of all you need a feature to make it from here to there and even if we look at the labor market in general we are still far from a full capacity if you look at restaurants if you look at other businesses as well so the 1st stop is a step is to get a saw that although its all Small Businesses will still wife but at the end of the day what you really need is so confidence concent confidence by customers and you would only get those when of a scene is ready and that might take some time even if the u. S. Administration is talking a part of a scene being ready in a couple of weeks so thats one step and then the big question also is now its a very beautiful late summer day here in new york but what happens if the weather is turning worse and then also what happens if the congress does not agree on new aid packages and at the moment there still seems to be a huge disagreement between the 2 parties and that it will probably also not and after the november 3rd elections no matter who wins dos so many factors here and cut it thanks so much and have a great weekend. And as late as the qana me is in the depths of crisis the countrys one finance oil industry accounting for the vast majority of it at ford has all but collapsed due to a mixture of corruption and mismanagement and tumbling prices adding to the woes are International Sanctions out of control inflation and of course a coronavirus. A soon as Delia Hernandez gets her pension she immediately buy sausages cheese and ham at a nearby market before they get more expensive as they do by the hour she then divides the goods and sells them in portions to her neighbors. So. The pension close to saddam but even that is not enough. So at home i sell deli meats flour bread. And other things from a Market Basket and thats how i survive. Also we. Then as well as been in recession for 7 years because the price of oil the countrys most important source of Foreign Exchange has fallen sharply also because the u. S. Has imposed sanctions many goods are in short supply and prices are rising accordingly inflation has risen to more than 4000 percent since july 2019 making it the highest in the world. Thats why Civil Servant only tourists who are is a bit on the side delivering food go shopping as soon as he gets paid.

Ever since its inception its been a source of controversy the north stream to pipelined up to deliver russian natural gas to europe is 90 Percent Complete but there are many parties still hoping it will never go into operation the United States has long opposed the project claiming it makes europe too reliant on Russian Energy thats a view shared by the Baltic States but elsewhere in Europe Countries like the Czech Republic are desperate for the project to go ahead. When this 480 kilometer long stretch of pipeline is finished it will transport gas from the controversial nord stream to pipelines terminus in northern germany to the south the oil gold pipeline will then carry fossil fuel energy on to countries including the Czech Republic and italy the pipeline operators are based in castle at germanys geographical center. The fact that north stream tos future is in doubt is going to have a knock on effect here that managers here dont want to talk about maybe scenarios. Were building the pipeline which is effectively 2 lines next to each other the 1st line is already in operation and transporting gas the 2nd string will be finished at the end of this year we already have bookings for both strings and we remain confident the pipeline will be well used to just its russian gas will flow south through pumping stations like this one for years the Czech Republic has been getting russian gas through the north stream one pipeline the Czech Company net for gas sends 80 percent of russian gas deliveries on to slovakia austria and italy for a fee its a lucrative business with high tax revenues so the czech government wants nord stream to. Into a dozen 202123. Long Term Contracts we need for gas has from from the from the past work and so for us as i said the beginning is important you know to keep the flow through the Czech Republic so we support that we support the city. This brings prague into opposition with neighboring poland and the Baltic States which are fiercely opposed to nord stream to these countries are worried the Energy Sector is too dependent on russia in prague on the other hand the baltic sea pipeline is viewed pragmatically. The trip i go to seems to be a silent company he insists grace. Its position is quite good he has. Noticed that he. Is a comin with could have been official for our company. Will be years expensive north stream 2 systems on the baltic coast ever become operational the gas customers self of germany are the most concerned about the debate on whether to end the pipeline project. And finally electric cars are becoming more common these days but where are the electric both asleep his company is floating a unique idea that can the last 7 relies on hydro for oil to reduce surface friction a limiting factor for fire elektra both models to treat waste it has a range of 90 kilometers and can be a 55 Kilometers Per Hour it can be yours for a cool 250000 heroes.

Welcome to arts and culture of the 77th Venice Film Festival is underway bashing on despite the covert 900 pandemic and hoping to give some momentum to an industry in danger of being usurped by streaming Services Also coming up in the pipeline. The museum bought a beauty any potsdam welcomes its Permanent Collection of impressionist paintings including the Largest Selection like children a outside of paris. And in our series on german artists and colonialism. Uses her work to bring forgot colonial history back to life. All cinema is the real antidote to this pandemic those are the words of spanish director pandora and as the Venice Film Festival bravely resuscitate the festival circuit one can only hope that hes right suffice it to say the cinephiles in attendance were determined to keep the dream alive. Whether you. President Cate Blanchett spanish directing legend Pedro Almodovar theres no escaping the streets hygiene. On the 1st night british actors to this winter fired up this safety distance audience even at c. R. Cinema cinema cinema walk on before i have. Nothing but love. Cinema is alone i even during a pandemic. Ceremony swinton was honored with a gold of 9 for her lifes work then he is the 1st of the worlds major Film Festivals to take place in person since looked down. On the 3rd day the most is most back in its old swing the films are once again in the spotlight not the measures required in order to show them. And my colleague scott roxboro joins us live from the lido in venice welcome scott there you are and you know this is so crazy bannister in a Global Pandemic so different from what youre used to whats hows it going. Yeah its going surprisingly well here i mean it is odd to be here with a mouse that wear masks in the cinema to have the sort of the smell the scent of disinfectant gel everywhere you go but it actually does still feel like a real Film Festival and i think that has so much to do with the fact that everybody here the stars like Kate Blanchett like Pedro Almodovar like Tilda Swinton but also all the ordinary film fans and film reviewers here are just desperate for venice to succeed they really are desperate for the Film Industry to get going again to get restart again and i think thats really creating a wave of optimism here and here at venice well thats great to hear now weve heard in the piece that its a very political festival this year especially the competition film so whats striking about the lineup for you this time round. Yeah its interesting because usually venice is a very big hollywood festival a lot of big oscar films start here and that hasnt happened this year because so many of those films are being held back by the studios so in their place we see a lot of more interesting european and political very political Strong Political films there was one the premier earlier this week. Which is a both a celebrity its a massacre its a bosnian film and this is incredibly powerful it follows a u. N. Translator boston Woman Working for the u. N. Peacekeeping group translating between them and and the bosnians there and basically the film is about her struggle to try and desperately save her husband and her 2 sons from being swept up by the serbian military and then as we know be executed its its a very very powerful film i mean i think this will go down probably as the definitive film about the 70 to massacre it really shows how rawson about can be and how cinema can really. Be a testimony to history of very very powerful movie and i think will go far after its premiere here in venice ok scott were running shortly out of time but still early days what other highlights do you see coming up or amongst what youve seen so far. What one of the big highlights for me was a french film called lovers a completely different not a political movie at all film the why are sort of in the style of a clutch of oil just a film with a lot of sexiness a lot of danger and and crime and some incredible interiors a film to film to escape into and i think thats also something that were seeing a lot of here in venice and im really looking forward to in the coming days and what weve been checking in with you about on monday because we will check in obviously early days still whats coming up next week. Yeah monday i think is one of the big holiday of this festival one night in miami its a directorial debut of oscar winning actress regina king and its set in 1964 and its a civil rights drama about a real life meeting that occurred between Muhammad Ali Malcolm x. The singer sam cooke and jim brown the. N. F. L. Football player or not and civil rights activist im really excited to see this movie its already being seen as an oscar candidate so i think youll be really excited to see it on monday thanks very much to scott well check in with you again on monday and between now and then happy viewing and stay safe.
