It for two years i think for this mission what was the training involved. The training focuses in those two years really on what they have to do for the mission so were teaching them about the Spacecraft Functioning about the repair jobs that they have to do the Maintenance Job its a Giant Machine it needs oil laying it. Shining on on the edges theres a lot of work involved that has to be done by the to keep it going and then of course theres a lot of work going into preparation for the soyuz flight being able to fly and potentially Pilot Vehicle is a task that takes nine months out of these two years already and then we have the Science Bitch where we teach them how to be the experimenter that does what the scientists on the ground want them to do because ultimately the experiments for scientists on earth. Stay with us if you would mind were going to have
a look at what alex asked alexander guest will be doing up there and then well well come back. T. V. Because part of the International SpaceStation Mission is to conduct experiments on the effects of space travel on the human body that information is crucial for future Space Missions to distant planets. Alexander guests mission will open up new horizons its expected to pave the way for further Space Exploration for manned flights to the moon and mars. Astronauts health is crucial one of this missions medical experiments focuses on the bodys internal clock which controls sleep attention and Energy Consumption how the internal clock ticks during space travel will be investigated in long term experiments. When they fly to the moon or mars the astronauts will be on their own this mission will test the technologies that make
this possible. For example a new Life Support System is due to be installed on the Space Station. It will use algae to help improve the air quality and also provide the astronauts with nutrition. From the Space Station Alexander Guest will control this Humanoid Robot on earth. Using a tablet p. C. The astronaut will send commands from space that just in the robot will then execute for example aligning solar panels. Its fundamental research for a future manned missions to the moon and mars. The head of the European Space agencys astronaut to Training Division pretty good still with me lets talk about the long term effects of spaceflight weve been doing this now for
decades what effects will crew members notice when they come back after the. Six months. The most obvious effects are defects all on the Muscle System and on Blood Circulation because while we do a lot of exercise in space to keep the muscles active you do lose some muscle muscle mass while youre in space simply because for your locomotion in space you dont need a lot of force so that reduces muscle and the fact that you have no gravity that pulls the blood down in the body to your feet the heart works less plus your body actually reduces the fluid volume of blood that you have because it does need so much to sit in your legs any more when you come back thats the first thing that happens all the blood again follows gravity goes into your legs and that
can lead to noise can also lead to problems really walking about now with the exercise that were doing on on the Space Station we can minimize those effects as much as possible in fact alex i know when he came back from his last mission walked pretty normal very soon after that so its over land and then theyve got it from the seats that you all yeah just like that yes yes its fascinating i could talk to all the accounts. From the European Space agency thank you so much for joining g. W. Thank you very much.

Fresh flows of superheated. From guatemala volcano a fire a force more than forced more people from their homes Officials Say at least seventy five people have been killed since of all kind of began erupting at the weekend and almost two hundred more are still missing or have issued new evacuation
orders and residents have begun to panic about whats to come. Fleeing the Disaster Zone people left their homes as fast as they could taking with them only what they could carry on their own. Many hoping for a quick escape or slowed down by clogged roads. Authorities issued Evacuation Orders for half a dozen villages after increased Volcanic Activity on tuesday raising the threat of further lava flows and hot ash. There were reports of panic but others tried not to. Think the truth is you dont know what to do. I think what we have to do is to be calm and prayed and not. Want to feel those made homeless have been turning to emergency shelters theyre depending on authorities to take care of their immediate needs. Its
a pity and were hoping the government will help us we dont have anywhere to stay weve lost everything our land our homes he couldnt take anything with us. Back in the Disaster Area many homes have been buried by ash. Rescue crews are looking for survivors and victims but they acknowledge their progress has been slowed due to the dangerous terrain. That the our manuals say that the First Response is supposed to be within seventy two hours. But what hasnt been taken into account is the factors holding back our work. Like Volcanic Material at high temperatures were talking between Four Hundred Seven hundred degrees celsius. The area around the volcano is normally lush farmland but where the ash has fallen it now looks more like a lunar landscape. Meanwhile dozens more homes in the u. S. State of hawaii have been also been destroyed by lava flows this time from a Killer Whale Volcano Authorities said some residents who were chosen not to leave had to be rescued by helicopter from the way its not destroyed over two hundred properties so is it got erupting on hawaiis big island last month. Youre watching d. W. News that live from still to come argentina calls on world cup warm up match against israel in jerusalem after protests from palestinians will bring your social media reaction. How they are gay this is here with Business News and the latest on americas unfolding Trade Wall Thats Right phil and its retaliation time as expected the e. U. Is now preparing a harsh response to the new u. S. Terror of starting in july the bloc will impose Import Duties on a variety of u. S. Products the new penalties were announced today and come in response to increased u. S. Judis On Imported Steel and aluminum that took effect this month about three point
four billion dollars worth of annual u. S. Imports are expected to be hit by the new measures ranging from Agricultural Products to steel and Bourbon Whiskey that list could also be expanded in the future according to e. U. Officials. And this doesnt only affect businesses earlier we spoke to our financial correspondent in frankfurt all the spots and i asked him how these tariffs will impact the average citizen. For example in the United States steel tariffs are used by the Steel Companies in the Car Companies to pass the higher costs on to consumers and they will be affected in here with Consumer Goods affected like Peanut Butter or orange juice or perhaps jeans the margins in this kind of business with retailers are much smaller so i think here there wont be much of a decision to pass them on it will make things more expensive for the average consumer here in the u. In these products. That was the response in frankfurt now lets not forget where all this comes from donald trump wants to reduce americas straight deficit that means he wants to sell more and buy less figures published by the u. S. Department of commerce today show the countrys Trade Deficit dropped indeed to a seven month low in april the u. S.

S. Hes already announced tariffs against Fifty Billion dollars worth of chinese goods like Washing Machines and solar panels on americas deficit with the e. U. Also rose by whopping seventeen percent to Fifteen Billion dollars. In other news

Tina have counseled us saturdays football world cup warm up in israel following probe palestinian protests the decision has upset some israeli leaders who say that the you know mass in his teammates of caved in to threats but israels opposition has criticised the countrys Sports Minister for politicizing the issue palestinians have welcomed the cancellation. Argentina coach will get some poly was unhappy about playing a friend the in israel because of logistical reasons so close to the world cup now the game is cancelled but for very different reasons. The match was originally
switched from haifa to jerusalem angering palestinians the city has become the focus of controversy after u. S. President donald trump recognized it as israels Capital Palestinians were further incensed because the jerusalem stadium is in the neighborhood of a former palestinian village having burned the argentinian flag protesters frightened to burn Replica Jerseys of Argentina Starlin oh messi. He will not under any circumstances agree to this match going ahead weve started a campaign against the Argentinian Football Association in which we will target messi. A tweet from the Argentinian Embassy in israel confirmed the cancellation of the game and said the threats against messi prompted the solidarity of his team mates and fears over playing the friendly israel Prime MinisterBenyamin Netanyahu had hoped the game against one of the world cup
favorites would be good publicity for israel he did not qualify for the finals in russia but moving the match to drew slim has backfired defense minister Avigdor Lieberman said argentina had given in to israeli Hating Agitators a blow to israel politically but also a blow to argentina with the game due to have been the last warm up before the world cup kicks off next thursday. As you can imagine this issue has been all over social media dont do social media call the welcome call so calls for argentina to pull out of the match against israel turned into quite a Heated Campaign yeah i mean that anger that we saw there in that report is kind of brewing for a while on social media it was really channeled into this campaign to get the match canceled and of course the biggest target of this campaign was the biggest star in the world. Place for argentina and these propellants the activists they were part of that campaign they were not subtle actually staining nesis. Jersey with red
paint to resemble blonde this was in fact done in front of argentinas Training Complex In Barcelona we even saw some personal messages as part of this Campaign Including this one from palestinian Footballer Mohammed who played for a Football Club in the gaza strip and was reportedly shot in the need by israeli snipers during protests in gaza he also asked the messy for his support. In. The us. On the. Program we. Will hear. That video was posted by another pro Palestinian Group that has organized boycotts against israel in the past many similar organizations involved in this Online Campaign ok so now of the much has been cold off what reactions you see well its
clearly being seen as a victory lots of celebrations in palestine as for Football Fans it seems like many in argentina actually support this decision and heres one fan from argentina whos saying you know i feel like my team has already won the world cup thank you for doing the right thing argentina and our National Sport shouldnt be used to normalize the horrible situation in gaza but a large portion of fans in israel they dont agree and this is an israeli journalist here a kind of captures some of that sentiment and he says you know everyone here loses the israeli fans the israeli Football Association argentinas Football Association they have to scramble now to find a new opponent really disappointing from argentina israel will not forget this and you know phil if you think football isnt political tell that to israels politicians weve seen so many of them reacting from the Minister Of Defense all the way up to Benjamin Netanyahu and self and now israels Opposition Leader isaac herzog is also sounding off on twitter and. Heres what he said about this decision
he says its a spectacular own goal to all Government Spokespersons who promise us that our political situation is great its painful to see the b. D. S. Or the movement to boycott divest from or sanction israel celebrating its a resounding failure of a government that buries its head and ignores reality as for elian a messy who really was a big target here he hasnt commented so far its a very delicate issue obviously but just kind of another example of how you cant keep sports and politics separate they just they just mix these days called us with thank you so much through.

Body thats been tasked to do exactly that. On the russia for the Nigeria Football jersey correspondents go looking for the countrys most popular sports where. You saw the if youre if youre one of africas longest running Border Disputes could be coming to an end the
ethiopian government has said that it will accept the terms of an agreement to end hostilities with Neighboring Eritrea this conflict began in One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Eight in The Border Town of me if you know p. R. And eritrea both claim to have staked claim to their site market town and this would later become a major hurdle in the implementation of a Border Rolling Violence Exchanges in bad may soon turned out to become a border war lasting two years and cost. Think Eighty Thousand lives terribly played by both countries changed hands throughout the course of the War Peace Deal was signed in two thousand leading to the formation of a Boundary Commission tasked with dividing disputed areas between the two countries in Two Thousand And two the commission made its final and binding ruling but ethiopia refused to accept it if european has now reverse that stand heres more on whats been described as africas deadliest border war. This is bad math
in One Thousand Nine Hundred Eight after iraq traceys the territory it launched a fierce offensive to keep its southern neighbor ethiopia from the town it would all be in vain in the end after heavy casualties on both sides ethiopia won a string of military victories which saw its troops move into the disputed territory. The conflict between the two countries left Tens Of Thousands stage or injured in the space of just two years as the war spread so did the massive displacement of communities. Today eritreans make up the bulk of migrants risking the treacherous mediterranean journey into the hopes of making it to teach europe many are fleeing the country because of Compulsory Military Service that has been described by human Rights Groups as harsh the eritrean government says it forces conscripts in because it
needs a constant large army to defend itself in the conflict with ethiopia that conflict may be coming to an end with a gesture of peace coming from. Under its new Prime Minister abi armitt ethiopia has said it will recognize a Two Thousand And two ruling on the border between the two countries part of the ruling handed The Border Town of Butler To Eritrea was. Or constantine. A free shift he joins us from the capital. Welcome to why has suddenly changed its mind. Load leverage let me try again its like were having some communication difficulties. Groaned and. Why has changed its mind about
accepting this ruling. Well first of all as you correctly mentioned that is one of the most entrenched conflicts on the african continent and for eighteen years there have been no movement whatsoever and i was out of this the. Situation between eritrea and ethiopia and i think theres a lot of lot of influence of the new Prime Minister abi ahmed here now its your guy who is trying to turn the page to either nationally or less like a message obviously dismissiveness still got a hostile internationally and he obviously knows very well that that Border Conflict with their injury as one of the most important challenges domestic policy that is that its your guys facing at the moment so dressing this issue is that why we move you know already reached out to him to be at its inaugural speech. In the parliament two months ago and that this is the first concrete steps and direction
so if you know he has taken that step what word from eritrea. Well so far they have a modest response as fun as far as as we can see good not just out of this either there was some comments and that our links to this and i question if that is going to go to the bottom it or not from my understanding there will be a movement on the climate is a calling back these troops in the next couple of hours a lot that is so then the further that issues of of negotiations between these countries again and then continue whether this is a problem. Do you think the war is now over. Well if a bus looks like it obviously if you have a country like this and theres a very long long lasting conflict over eighty years now and still it is there is
a sentiment and i think at the end of the day. Is it leaders its was find a way to solve the situation you want to sort of forget that along the border people belong to the same group and now families are divided and then people are suffering also economically suffering and i think theres a lot of attention on the matter at the moment and we should be done giving some some benefit of without doubt that both sides. Find a peaceful solution for the situation that well we thank you for joining us constantine grown from the Friedrich Shift only in ethiopia in the thank you. One billion the United Nations says that is the number of women Around The World suffering violence in their daily lives so how best to end this violence is a topic of conversation at a global beating after vellum tokenization is in brussels mambo koka as they
exactly the director of un women and is one of the speakers at this event p. W. Teri schultz spoke to her about this issue. Thank you very much for joining us madam lumba nuka what are the main drivers of violence against women and Gender Inequality overall. Leaves women is the less economic kylee empire what members of society lives a lot of Women Venerable Independent is on men and they. Account almost in all countries is that no my lies is the way women get it is inferior and less some members of society which then gives in the opportunity for violence to be present almost in every country in every strata of society even in the well its. End because said the Power Relations are such that men still have significant power politically economically and so on we do not have a strong people who are leading from or a front from a powerful position a who are facilitating this change is women are having to fight their way all the way without having the kind of partnership and solidarity that to bring up out a significant change is it is changing and a were seeing more and more men taking a stand and of course women on their own have made a little bit of progress but its not been enough to tend not around and give us a society that believes women feel free oh how can the United Nations do something about this you talk about men in high places but also men in small villages how can the u. N. Really reach into all of these places and change things when two approaches we have to do the part some. Where we where especially with Civil Society in communities with the Womens Movement with young people so that in their own communities they can be the voice for change and the excess for change there is not kind to where we have seen development that is positive on the side of ending violence against women on the side of Gender Inequality in general where you dont have a strong presence of active Civil Society so creating the space and supporting Civil Society and investing in Civil Society in Womens Organization is critical and we partner with Civil Society all over the well last year in women we cannot exist without Civil Society but on the other hand these also laws in many countries that still discriminates against women when for instance Domestic Violence is not
criminalized about forty countries have courts thats even aware we have been able to change the laws it does not mean that to happen automatically you still have to work to change the norms and the stereotype so you need to bottom up and also from from the top working down and making sure that somewhere in the middle all of these initiatives come together forty countries did you just to clarify forty countries where it still is not against the law and on legislation we have been aware filings against years so we have been working in more intensely for instance in the last five years pushing a for the end of Discriminative Laws so almost in every year we have to change about seventy kind seventy laws. Around the world of course them have to do with violence against women i do not they saw one of the things that we have
to achieve within this period of Sustainable Development goals this kind of wait for twenty thirty it has to have happened yesterday we are waking very hard to make sure that to address these countries these laws that still discriminate against women that still make it possible for pepper to testify lends to free. Now with the world cup just over a week away fans Around The World are giving up to support their teams in nigeria thats led to a shortage of the teams official jersey to w. s correspondence in lagos have made it their mission to find some kit. The beginning of the world cup is coming but people here are saying it is not possible anymore to get a jersey of the Nigerian National team flourish do you think that is true well one time i head over to the official store to see if i can get one myself all right then ill go to lagos island to the market and see who of us will be the lucky one. One of the big malls. Im going to see. Today. Oh it looks like we still have the ship and it feels really nice in the booth soon. See any of the shelves i think you only have the old ones i. Wouldnt. Care but much of the wood on the front page says he just told you the so called good ship. He goes full. On this is not the best comes naturally the stock so. This is lego i love the buzzing business how. Can i make Capital Lagos and im pretty sure that i have a good chance to find a jersey here. Looking for the jerseys the nigerian jersey why are people so crazy about it. I love you so. Very nice of course im not im not. The green white green i love you i love its. Easy. I can see youre selling t. Shirts how is the sales going were making a lot of. Nigerians love these shirts very very
love you guys the greats. How many of the jerseys have you sold already. I Couldnt Comment i couldnt convert many. Many more demand us to. Flourish jerseys. For you but ill give you one because i got plenty. Of the real ones because they sold them for Three Thousand there on the market which is about eighty euros only but anyways the most important question is do you think that has a good chance to perform well during the walk up well. Any. I think we do have a. Team. That seems. To. Be in great without without jerseys so lets hope for the best. So if your citizens living in germany can hes not president ial and parliamentary elections from today. Expecting a high Voter Turnout with nearly one point four Million People. Entitled to First Quarter migrants theyve been japanese and anywhere outside of. President. Members of his Conservative Party the k p a favorites to win president. Complains during the Election Campaign that he was banned from speaking in germany or anywhere else in europe only bosnia majority Muslim Country allowed him to hold a rally in turkeys last election three years ago about sixty percent of turkish voters from germany were for the a k p thats a significantly higher percentage than the party received in turkey itself. Ticket
electing campaigning in a german capital is good good advice and his friends are canvassing for turkeys procope. Party this year but this is for the election in turkey were against terror the one they did get was against erda one ok ill take one of those. Business left because of President Add on hes very concerned about politics in his home country. Hes been. Indicted and ive been in germany for six years. And many of my friends and my entire family are still there to free them and theyre dissatisfied and we have to change it or topple this government. And thats why were working from germany to support those who stand for democracy in turkey. But not everyone here is against and on
these women are complaining for the turkish president and his a. K. P. Party they dont like speaking to the gym impress me and initially brush me off as we are campaigning for the a. K. P. If you want we can take a vote by card on the. Party colleagues from the eighty pct of presents after a piece of porthos as a provocation they shout added one is that Terrorist Agger One is a murderer. A heated answer comes right back the passer by says you are the real murderous shes doing a right thing with you you dont sue if it im happy that type aggro on exists a little. Bit of. This who tries to diffuse deceit to a certain he doesnt like these public disputes with to a k. P. Supporters he thought they shouldnt insult but did you hear what they said if you
decide you. Want to know they are insulting. You could try to stay cool dont do the same thing as they do just. As the aleck Timson Turkey up tensions are running high here ambulance German Turkish Community people are divided by one simple question are you for or against type two on. They live in germany but they are more fired up about politics in turkey to take a piece of poor to say its only natural this is internally is our real home land our families live there and were doing this work here for them with gods help. Is here is convinced theres more to it than that. If you dont have an Identity Problem because theyve heard a lot of bad experiences. Yeah thats why they want to vote for turkey and why so many support the a. K. P. But not everybody does. And its do is who dont support
everyone that is hoping to mobilize by canvassing for the h d p campaigning in berlin against a president. The World Congress of german schools abroad has just started here and its hosted by the German Foreign office that are moving five hundred participants from Around The World to discuss the way forward for their schools of Foreign Minister i come out this was the Opening Ceremony to one another from our culture desk is via tell us Well Welcome Robin german schools abroad why well i mean. One of the reasons is very useful for diplomats for diplomats children old Business People whove children they want to educate the system because theyre eventually going to come back to germany and then their children are on the same level as
their peers when they return but actually much more so in recent years the fact is the Education System here is very well full solve Around The World and people want their children to get the b. Tool which is the final School Graduation exam a levels in england all the High School Diploma in america or elsewhere Around The World i mean you could compare it a bit to the better known. French baccalaureate which is very much internationally recognised the be tour is much more internationally recognised now and so known german children achieving the will have a better chance perhaps in the in the job market instantly a big part of this congress will concentrate on something called schools partners for future or passion which was set up ten years ago it is the tenth anniversary and now has actually two thousand partners schools world wide promoting the german language. School when were seeing here is in nairobi in kenya anyway lets
find out about one particular indian student whos been learning german on this passion that shes now bill in for the congress and studying and also more about the congress itself. Very ghaziabad because sharma is from india and started learning german eight years ago now she wants to share her enthusiasm for the language with other young people. You just have to do your best. Completed the german language diploma at the carmel Conference School in indias capital new delhi. Today shes preparing to attend university in berlin and attending the World Congress of german schools of broad for sharma language was. German i would say is the most important part of my life because what i am today is because of this language and
the doors that it just opened for me. Hundreds of students from Around The World have made their way to maine here they share experiences and make new contacts. German Foreign Minister heiko must stress the importance of pash schools especially in times of waning democracy human rights and freedom of the press. He understood if thats what confidence in ones own abilities helps when it comes to fear to learn languages and to travel help against nationalism and isolation to open our eyes to other cultures and so realize our common humanity. Minds of all money there. The passionate work also includes vocational schools in madrid the f e d n a is trying to reduce the high rate of local unemployment from thirty five percent a german Training Course for the Hotel Industry office graduates better career
prospects. Plans to study Business Information technology whether she then stays in germany depends on if she can find the right job. So robin this posh initiative is much more than just about german language classes in schools Around The World oh absolutely yeah i mean when you learn a language i think you also massively get interested in where the language the country where the language comes from except in our language english because english is so widely spoken Around The World i mean billions of people speak it and of course its spoken in so many different cultures so i dont think thats necessarily true of the english language but its certainly true of the german language i think if you learn german you you youre going to be interested possibly in austria germany possibly in little bits of switzerland but mostly youre going to be interested in germany and. About the culture of it i mean people get to learn
that we dont go away. And drink beer and support football. It was just some of the cliche schnitzel that are still going to struggle to find people not drinking vo supporting football over the next in the course of that. Is true but they wont be wearing later has that im sure will. Go straight. I mean its estimated actually the as much as one hundred eighty Million People can actually speak german or speak it partially and Fifteen Million are learning it Around The World so i mean they want to learn about the culture and im sure it breaks a lot of these cliches and theres a lot more to germany than what ive just said i mean we have with the home of Bach Problems beethoven and the role of bass and this this project is growing it is it really is growing and and the government is going to put more into it i know
theres a lot more interested in germany i think generally Around The World. I have to say ive found the language very difficult but when you get the hang of it it really does come along i mean as as high come out of the pharmacist as this sort of thing out is all rise to all the couches thats what. Vole got to jump and he has a much higher standing i think in the world than it did a few years ago its much more an International Player and this all goes with an. Interesting. Website absolutely. I just time to remind top story this Hour International team of astronauts led by germany has taken off for the International Space station the soyuz spacecraft. In kazakhstan and the crew will catch dozens of experiments including to prepare for future missions so moscow. Mommas a volcano of fire hazard forcing people to flee their homes. Because blankets if
