a final ruling bonds dozens of russian athletes from the competition. this is a little bit brings the first ever visit to south korea by a member of the north's ruling dinnerstein kim jong un sister was behind her diplomatic trip across the border. plus the five to one of nigeria's most precious commodities farmland models between cattle herders and crops grew as claimed five hundred lives last year we report on the deadly feud. holloed of a warm welcome to you. there's been another twist today in the long road to forming a new government in germany the leader of the social democrats martin shows says he nor longest seek the post of foreign minister in a future grand coalition or. any of the post in the new cabinet on wednesday schultz is spotty struck a deal with chancellor angela merkel's conservatives should give up the s.p.d. leadership and nonces intention to take the post of foreign minister but that ambition grew strong criticism from s.p.d. members who lost ratify the coalition deal in a vote should said he'd made the decision to ensure the success of the vote here's what he said. i will not be taking up a post 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. and for the latest twist in this political drama let's go to offer logical correspondent thomas storrow thomas after all the hard work on the coalition agreement now this surprising is this development i'm rita it is indeed a surprise those who thought that germany was closer to ending months of political uncertainty were certainly surprised by martin short his announcement on friday here in germany were certainly a surprise and another twist in what you correctly described as a political drama and if you look at the reasons for this latest chapter in germany's political drama you will see that within the s.p.d. the debate about personnel about who would do what in the new grand coalition took precedence over the debate about content about what social democratic policies would look like in that new grand coalition and that was at least one of the key reasons why martin showed how to make that announcement today and it's for him a very painful announcement let's not forget that a year ago he was celebrated as the beacon of hope over social democrats chosen as the party leader with hundred one. percent of the vote and then everything started to go wrong with the party lost three regional elections then had a terrible results in the federal election on september twenty four then martin shows said he would leave the party leadership and now he was also in a way forced to leave what he really wanted namely that post as germany's next foreign minister so a very bad day a very bad year for martin short and a very difficult day as well for germany social democrats now martin chooses announcement comes just a day off the current acting foreign minister sigmund gabriele had this to say he said it is sad to see the lack of respect we now have for each other in the s.p.d. how little a previously made promise now means to me that what is gabby actually seeing how do you promise the post of foreign minister in the new government that's unclear at this point but it does reveal the deep divisions within the social democrats and deep divisions i will be particularly important on rita as the entire membership of the social democrats and we're talking here of four hundred sixty three thousand people will be voting on the ground coalition deal in other words these four hundred sixty three thousand people will decide whether that grand coalition deal the one hundred seventy seven pages that were agreed on this week can go ahead if we look at the division within the party it is definitely unclear whether they will definitely support that deal right and what the coalition agreement with america can conservative block when that be affected in any way by these developments briefly it could be affected but that is still unsure again the important date is this vote by the social democratic membership four hundred sixty three thousand people. right thomas found out of parliament yes it is thank you very much for that analysis. turning now to south korea and the twenty third winter olympics have officially begun there after an extravagant opening ceremony thirty five thousand people packed the p.l.o. stadium to watch the semi which kicked off the games in die along with an autistic before one spectators some of the athletes procession with sports stars from both the north and the south of korea walking out together under the flag of the korean peninsula now president then officially opened a winter sports most prestigious event and the ceremony closed with the nineteen off the famous flame. joining me now for more on this story is matt conlan from my colleague welcome back to spectacular pitches as we saw so it was an extravagant set of anybody that particularly korean characteristics it did they really made an effort to sort of show off the best of korea with traditional music traditional drummers and costumes they had some of the korea's technological prowess being on show as well as some k. pop they started off with these kids spending some time with with a tiger happily not a real tiger and then went through the athletes' procession in korea in alphabetical order which meant things started off with nigeria nigeria at the games for the first time they brought a female bobsled team another person who sort of sold the show. of tonga he's becoming making a bit of a habit of this he was at the summer olympics as a taekwondo athlete and you know he can do anything he's also now he was a cross-country skier as we saw earlier the two koreas decided to combine for a single team at this olympics which everyone is of course very excited about and you know this sort of pageantry that we saw at this olympics opening ceremony i mean like we do each time this is the kind of pageantry. we don't see very often outside of like the euro vision song contest only it's on a much much bigger scale it's hundreds of dancers or you know fire wavers or kids on makeshift rafts and a fake river it's just amazing stuff to see just the scale of this kind of a vent and of course a showcase of south korea very well a lot of people attend the set of india but there was some absentees what happened in the vatican cab yeah the speed skater shani davis he's a five time olympian and he was the first african-american to win a winter olympics medal for the united states back in two thousand and six he reportedly skipped the opening ceremony after he missed out on his chance to be the flag bearer you know athletes reps from each of the major sports disciplines voted and there was a four four tie in the vote between davis and erin hamlin she is a loser and was the first american that ever to win an individual lose medal and as it turned out the way that they broke that tie was a coin flip and shani davis who you know as i said he's a five time a lesbian he's won i think for one pick medals in these long career felt that that was a pretty you know unbecoming way to sort of see him off as an olympian he complained about it on twitter. right it matters but i'm sort of you have to leave it there thank you very much for that. now staying with the olympic games in the court of arbitration for sport has turned down an appeal by forty seven russian athletes and coaches to compete at the games the russians have been banned from taking part by the international olympic committee over state sponsored doping in sochi four years ago they'd argue they've been wrongly excluded from the games of the court of arbitration for sport said the i.o.c. his decision was not unfair nor discriminatory. but duping isn't the only intrigue surrounding these games the whole event is playing out under a political spotlight with host south korea using the lympics to that relations with that of the north the approach though didn't prove popular with everyone in plunk chung. demonstrators outside the olympic stadium gave the north koreans a hostile reception they clashed with riot police and made their feelings towards the north known. we are here. making. oh yeah we're going to. react we want to hold our own. north korea's olympic delegation mocked and historic first it included kim jong the youngest sister of leader kim jong un she's the first member of north korea's ruling dynasty to cross the border since the korean war south korean president well come to by extending the hunter friendship a sign of his high diplomatic ambitions for the games but not everyone was convinced that greeting the delegation with an open hand was the right approach. to be sure you. the people of south korea and the united states of america will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder. to bring maximum pressure to bear on north korea until the time comes when they finally. of their nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions. pence was seated only rose apart from you know john at the opening ceremony his office assured the press he gave the north koreans the cold shoulder this as the world watched the winter olympics kick off with pomp and flag the games will go on and the political tensions on the sidelines likely well too. and if it's some other stories making news around the wild. in libya at least two people have been killed and dozens more wounded in a twin bomb attack on a mosque in benghazi officials say the explosions took place just before friday prayers is the second attack on a benghazi mosque in less than a month no group immediately claimed responsibility. gaza tarty see at least nineteen palestinians have been injured in clashes with israeli security forces violence also erupted in several west bank cities israeli soldiers fired tear gas and palestinians hurling stones into bethlehem there's been a spike in violence since a u.s. president donald trump recognized truth in them as israel's capital in december. you're watching the devaney is coming up ahead the bloggers in guinea campaigning against corruption. to hold officials to account and to educate the guinea and public. but first danny joins me and he's here to wrap up the wild week on the markets and wild is definitely the word on rita quite turbulent as well it's a battle between the bulls and the bears on the markets and the dow in the s. and p. five hundred struggle to cling on to their gains from earlier in the session the dow has fallen one thousand points twice this week european and asian markets already finishing down bond yields are also touched for highs for your highs this week the double whammy of stocks and bonds caused by expectations of rising inflation analysts say wild swings will likely continue into next week. yes quarters tracking this from wall street for us yes how are things doing this hour. well the heat is on we did see a gain of about three hundred fifty points earlier today and now we're down almost four hundred points so again a lot of pressure on the market and not just stocks trading to the a downside other as of classes as well prices for example dropped by more than three percent and the only good news is that volatility that the volume isn't too high so there is no panic selling or anything like this going on when you try to say volatility that is the bursting of the low volatility short strategy which has helped stoke this volatility that we're seeing this week so how does that explain the swings that we've been seeing. it is part of it there are many forces at play at the moment but one problem is that in the past two years special leave it creatively low volatility is so meaning a very little swings the volatility index is also called the fear index so what investors did they borrowed money and actually bought futures on this low volatility and now all of a sudden that this volatility increased rather steeply as some of those investors were forced to sell and when i say borrowed money that is another issue that we haven't you know on wall street how did investors finance all the stock buying in the past couple of months and years some of it was borat and so now with some of the people who gave us the money they're asking to get the money back and that actually increases the pressure here on wall street that we're losing a bit is not the big problem but the speed that is crucial and that's why we do see traders being very nervous at this point so volatility begetting even more volatility and the longer this goes on the less it's looking like a bit of a blip can we describe as a symptom of a regime change them. well i mean the region change certainly is also happening when you look at the yields at the bond market for instance money becomes more expensive debt becomes more expensive and i would say the crucial number is three when the ten year treasury reaches three percent so that could certainly move things here once again in the next couple of weeks and quarter on wall street thank you very much for that. german investors continued their sell off but resisted much of the downward pressure from the us frankfurt's bed frankfurt's benchmark index closing friday one of the quarter percent down better than expected following wall street's 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. from the frankfurt stock exchange daniel cope has this analysis. investors here at the frankfurt stock exchange are rather optimistic again they are quite relieved that we didn't see there's a massive core action 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. wrapping up the european perspective for us there germany has its foot firmly on the gas pedal after granting a permit for the nord stream to natural gas pipeline from russia the first pipeline of the north stream family runs along the bottom of the baltic sea from russia to love mean that's in eastern germany its sister project running alongside will double capacity of the route which currently stands at fifty five billion cubic metres critics say it will increase europe's energy dependency on russia ukraine is set to lose out the most at present over half of russian gas exports to the e.u. passed through the country but for how much longer nicolas connelly reports. this plant run by ukraine state energy company nothing gas was built almost forty years ago and is now coming to the end of its working life as ukraine struggle to maintain its position as the chief transit country for russian energy needs to upgrade the infrastructure a pilot project financed by georgia bank and underwritten by german export guarantees will see the multi-million euro compresses successively replaced but the question is will they ever really be needed. the north stream pipeline linking russia and germany directly across the baltic sea see here is set to be joined by second connection to construction is due to get underway later this year the new pipeline will be able to transport some fifty five billion cubic meters of gas equivalent to two thirds of the gas transit in ukraine on average in recent years the project critics in ukraine argue that north stream too would mean more than just empty pipelines and transit income. they say it will increase europe's dependence on russian energy and allow the kremlin to put political pressure what it's called the eastern european satellite states by halting supplies without endangering deliveries to its big western european customers for that something north streams backers including former german chancellor and current chairman have consistently rejected saying the deal is purely driven by economic considerations and provides additional capacity rather than replacing the existing pipelines ahead of ukraine state energy company is adamant his country has more to lose than just transiting called if north dream too is built. the devastating we believe clean air wait for a full fledged russian aggression against ukraine we're currently fighting to stop russian troops it's eastern border but if there's no transit of gas it's there is no risk interruption we believe russia will be. just a matter of months to go to construction on north korea to get in the way ukrainian hopes are now resting. on. washington to finally translate their vocal opposition to the project into action. for business later now back to amrita and the citizen journalists of guinea that's right daniel guinea is amongst the poorest nations in west africa still suffering from a legacy of a series of dictatorships that ended only in two thousand and ten one blogger is pushing state authorities for more transparency on how they're spending public money he's found the internet to be a powerful tool to expose problematic issues and he's looking to spread his know how across the country. from navigating cyberspace to protecting one's privacy these guinean students are learning all about the benefits and the risks of the internet and social media. there are downsides if you post a photo on the internet and then try to delete it it's still possible to find it and one day when we have good jobs these photos could damage us. the free internet crash course is run by sally b. ali so the trained computer scientist regularly comes to schools to pass on his knowledge to students and even. the internet has changed my life because i've learned how to use it properly what is it that means that it can help you get ahead in continue to educate yourself for me i was still a student when i got my first job over the internet. that's how i understood how it can be used to get ahead. don't you going to get the kid should all be on. a second job soon followed his first sally now makes a living as a programmer. he's also a passionate blogger. he tackles issues that the mainstream media won't or can't address the press in guinea is under constant surveillance and the head of guinea's media supervisory body is none other than president afrikander his former campaign manager. on his blog village to our two point zero zero sally tracks the use of public funds he also wants to provide a platform for guinea's youth to share their views his friends from the blogging group ablow gaining support him whenever they can. at first i was a bit skeptical i said it was a crazy idea but i liked the concept he had his vision. i had mine and the others had their ideas it was a bit difficult for us at first until we understood each other but we all want to bring about change we all want to help and support our young people that's why i got involved. calling for a change and a free press bloggers and reporters took to the streets and connect me late last year it's not uncommon for the state to block a broadcast this time an entire radio station was shut down. documented the protest is not intimidated by the authorities despite his previous arrest in his hometown. for shooting pictures of another demonstration at the time he was accused of portraying his country in a negative light. you know. some people think that we want to hurt our country that we want to spread a bad image of kenny first but that's not true i grew up here i studied here i want to stay here in a community projects to help my country. sally wants to encourage his compatriots to stay too he firmly believes that positive change in the country can only come from. and good luck to him turning out to poland where the government has refused to back down on a controversial new so-called holocaust law the new law would outlaw blaming poland for nazi war crimes few friends would be punishable by up to three years in prison the law has sparked international criticism and a diplomatic crisis with israel and the united states responding to critics the polish government has that launched an all out social media frenzy of that has raised quite a few eyebrows. joining me now is social media editor for you welcome for the because you've been tracking this story online on social media what are you seeing there so for four years the polls have been complaining about the use of the phrase polish death camps to refer to a concentration camps that were both by germany on saw the shah on a polish soil during the nazi occupation and during world war two and this law bans that phrase but it's bigger scope is through fight the misconception that poland was a party in the holocaust and to counter that narrative the polish government has launched a fierce social media campaign as you said they've been posting sophisticated videos there's an official social media channels including emotional testimony from survivors like this one take a look. you know. groves. no brick hove behind but put the school teacher. was booked on to do. considering an attempt to stress the concept that concentration camps where polish they were only german in a very direct slogan german death camps and we have another example here take a look. so you could see they're pretty aggressive campaign with these videos that are high production videos they almost look like film trailers and that's all to stress that polls like jews were victims and not parties of the whole of this bill that for talking about is also already been signed into law school is this campaign directed well it's aimed at international critics and particularly at israel which has accused of poland of trying to whitewash history strewed this new law we've seen the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has a cold the polish law observes saying you can't rewrite history and you can't deny the whole cost there's also been a row online between top israeli politicians and the polish embassy in israel this is. a he says the whole cause was conceived in germany but hundreds of thousands of jews were murdered without even meeting a german soldier and the polish embassy has responded to that saying you're unsupportable claims to show how badly holocaust education is needed even here in israel and that conversation has gone on for many other comments and is still going on and briefly physical but does the fullest government actually have a point that. most agree that the term polish extermination camp is wrong in the sense that the camps were built by nazi germany in occupied poll. and poland didn't have a government back then however critics are concerned that this law could stifle in open to discussion on about the holocaust and in a way distort historical truth. from a social media does thank you very much for being us that story. you're watching d.w. news more coming up shortly do stay with us. nigeria's deadly found feud in the five between cattle herd is involved the stories that's coming up but as you after a short break. the. european stars deliver rousing performances. dance meets pump rock and hip hop plays by british band until the ribbon breaks which is the way to beat staring you in the first lot it's a feeling was just a hint of melancholy you go from switzerland's rising star to me in the end. good comes from. millions of dollars. fake hair and real story. where i come from a lot of women who like me have fake hair sometimes the hair style takes up to two days it's a lot of time that needs to be filled so people at the salon talk about what's happening in their lives. i became a journalist to be a storyteller and i always want to find those real authentic stories from everyday people who have something to share. with all the time i spend at the salon i know i'm good quality here when i see ads and a good story when i hear it. my name is elizabeth shaw and i work at steve. to learn german with w. . anytime anyplace. with or with jo jo and her friends. colleagues to talk to him to not believe there's scripts to be spiritual. all over the world. online and interactive. german to go. learn german for free. this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin i'm going to have your company our top story germany's social democrats have ousted martin truths from a possible government drove the move comes just days after he completed the negotiation of a coalition deal with unlove make the screws of the terms show since he no longer take up the coveted route of foreign minister after party infighting. and to talk more to bob this political drama in german post a for your reaction to his decision not only to take up the post of foreign minister but any cabinet post in a potential coalition government well i think it's a shame that right now we're just discussing people and positions and not about the coalition contract actually i think it's a bad move right now for. and leadership to make these questions like the headlines the decision that you can do do you think you did the right thing by stepping back now stepping aside well i think that it's good that he informed us that you wanted to join the cabinet because well or like the government and now he has a reaction of the party and she decided to well not be part of their call ition i think maybe you're right now it's the best move he could do but i would have wished that he would have stood up for his work in the first place and not have tried to even join the government because that is also his responsibility after saying he wouldn't do that to maybe stick with his words for what he is i mean he would argue better late than never but now wouldn't. you are free is a pull in and off another grand coalition in germany would his decision change your mind and would you actually vote for another grand coalition because the it's pretty rank and file are going to vote on the fourth of march no it wouldn't because we have never argued groups of people who are joining government or not our argument is that it's a grand coalition it's just keep doing what it did for the last four or within the last twelve years there were eight years of grand coalition and we can't keep doing that and doesn't matter which person isn't front there and which person is in office but many didn't it's a problem with mot insurance who negotiated this school edition deal with the conservatives would argue that the s.b. these the big window and the school edition that they've got so many important ministries that they could push through the esprit de corps agenda but the point is that yes they've got a lot of positions now but the position of the ministry is they can only do what is negotiated in the contract and if you look at the contract well it's almost the same if after the extraordinary talks they have not really added anything really to it and back then it was our argument to say there's not enough social democratic candidate in it and that hasn't changed our criticism hasn't changed but some senior members of the s.p.d. would argue that they're doing this in the interests of the nation that putting the nation ahead of the party what would you how would you respond to that are you doing jeff a say and we're putting our country first are like european union first and we want social democratic politics on the long run and this is a coalition of smart little steps ahead but we need big decisions now we need big reforms we need a real social democratic program and that's not what's a great coalition can deliver so you campaign in the young socialists many young soldiers are campaigning for the s.p.d. to vote no on this vote that you take based on the fourth of march to have the numbers to win this vote i think we might i mean i'm not sure of course because ninety percent of the party members never show up to any meetings so we don't really know but what i know. hearing is a lot of criticism and many people who say it can't keep it can't be the way it was then the last is so i think we actually do have a chance of winning this right now so if you don't win what happens then if we do not win here well we will keep pushing for a change in politics if we don't win right now we have gained twenty four thousand new members in the last month and we will keep pushing this movement because i think a change in politics in germany is so necessary more than ever and was so we are not going to stop fighting just because we lost the battle if we do right and you of the new generation of the social democrats and if your clothes are from the young socialists thank you very much for coming in and talking to us in our studios thank you to you. ok let's move on with news to other topics and really have a look at. nigeria we're going to move on to nigeria and an age old conflict between herdsman and farmers a conflict that's becoming increasingly violent herders who find it harder and harder to find grizzling land for their livestock they're taking over farmland by force more than five hundred people died last year and in january two thousand and eighteen alone more than one hundred and sixty people lost their lives the situation is particularly acute in some areas we sent our reporter krishi into the heart of the conflict zone. farmer christopher back a zero six sauce that mother only has to do it floor to rest on about two weeks ago herdsman at tech their village forcing them to flee to mark already the provincial capital now they are all living in a school that's on the construction. they have access to water there. are still waiting for food medical care and mattresses to sleep on. so this abundance of i'm not happy i don't even want to give up on go back to what i was and then you go back there you always know it's a robot it's always good us who are here we are somebody in both who are living the life i know there is. the attackers kills two people in christopher's village the rest have fled. the humanitarian crisis and the new state keeps unfolding there's already seven cams that open for internally displaced people but more and more of them are leaving their villages looking for security. under the protection of security forces we drive into the house of the conflict zone. everywhere we go they have people fleeing the hurts man. and i was coming killing these so i think you can see what you are not i'm not here now we were. already. coming to canada coming on days coming in night. so. we see one desire to deliver after the next the same kind of images we know all too well from the book region in nigeria as north east. we are right now a village called branch new estate and like a lot of the neighboring communities and villages this one here is deserted most people have left the community because they are scared to further attacks and precious. the governor of been away complains about insufficient security forces in the region. he blames the government in the capital even though he is a member of the ruling party. i don't have state police. states army i don't have the air force that. supposed to just give. the need for. presidency and i basically your party is failing the people here and well as far as i'm concerned this is accomplished. in a visit to a refugee camp the governor defends his approach to solving the problem. last year he passed a law forbidding shepherds from moving about freely with their livestock. so this however did nothing to curtail the number of attacks it only increased tensions from one day to the next the ruling deprived galba husseini of his livelihoods. unable to put his cows out to pasture he had to buy feed for them but since he lacked the money to do so he had to sell most of his thirty cows at below market price. and the captive market in market would be a hussaini is one of the few hurts men from the full on the ethnic group who has state's most fled for fear of being attacked most farmers don't differentiate they consider the traditional full on you herdsman to be criminals the situation is threatening to become an ethnic conflict. right i'm here but i'm feeling a freight because i can walk out and say that one of my and for the shop i was hearing. anyway. you know what i mean if there are two parts of the kid one are not in body they say revenge revenge one victim probably. family as they keep. diary vans to write the quantity. the government in my cool d. proposes solving the problem with what they call cattle colonies free land for herders provided by the state's shepherd husseini likes this approach so it's most farmers like christopher buckley you are gangstas with the two sides digging in the government is overwhelmed christopher and his family fear they'll be stuck in this camp for a long while to come. and that report was filed by our correspondent. joins me live from lagos on during the conflicts have long been a problem in nigeria but this seems to be an escalator and escalation what explains that. the population population growth is quite clear if you look at the number than one nine hundred sixty there were about forty five million people living in nigeria right now it is one hundred and eighty million people who live here and in two thousand and fifty the number is predicted to reach more than three hundred million nigerians that will be more than the united states has citizens so this massive population grows of course has an effect on this crisis as well because very often the farmers as well as the one they still use very traditional ways of going about their daily business additionally to that we have the issue of climate change that also plays a clear role here most of the herdsman are coming from the northern part off nigeria and this is the part that borders to the to the star of desert and it is quite clear that over the past years the desert kept on moving further south so right now you see that a lot of those people who lose herdsman from the north are moving more and more southwards looking for greener pastures because the land in the north doesn't have opportunities for them anymore to feed their cattle so what is the nigerian government done in recent years to address this problem. i think we have lost the connection to the end there in a legacy was this telling us about the farmer and heard a conflict in nigeria and explain that climate change was not the problems including several other issues and and asked him about how the government is dealing with it and half and we will try and reestablish that contact contact with him in a later show getting out of business is daniel joins me now and the coffee create is finally comes home danielle is right i don't know if you like me but i can make it through the day without a good cup of coffee but in uganda it's the africa's largest exporter of coffee but the beverage is not popular among locals who only consume five percent of what's produced their power play they prefer to be but one barista jerold cattle barzee is hoping to change that he's training a cohort of coffee connoisseurs in the hopes of spreading one of the world's best loved hot beverages across his own country. one of compiler's busiest bus terminals. denise more junior is in charge of security here. his work is highly demanding. but often breaks off for a cup of coffee. this coffee gives me energy when i'm doing my security work it gives me energy to move around and i feel strong and it keeps me away from sleep . would you need is among the few ugandan coffee drinkers. thanks to qatar was a very star who was sit at the coffee shop makes to his workplace. to tell us he's promoting the drink and plans to open either cafe's in busy areas of uganda's capital uganda is there is it to drinking in action and coffee in uganda is regarded as a bit of age took for the. their higher income and that's why their local consumption is still low. but he is determined to change that through training young barristers tell us his growing capacity to boost the local coffee industry. in the last eighty years over one thousand two hundred trainees have gone through his hands the anchor partaking of their domestic with quality so it is beginning it's beginning to appreciate because it's now a youth centered kind of approach where i play. qatar was a follows coffee right from the fun. he has recruited farmers as part of his crusade to meet and sustain standards. coming here to this to see what's happening. to to manage a quote unquote issues because we look at we work closely with the farmers when they sure that they really get a premium have to have this fair to do so you get to read your coffee is that i know to international standard. uganda exports ninety five percent of all it's coffee. while growing coffee supports many families for most would rather sell it all on the b. verges but qatar's he hopes these countries in order to promote the domestic industry can sustain farmers even when prices that's the global market for. and with the coffee might want to buy some roses as well because it's that time of year again valentine's day is fast approaching the flower industry in full bloom in colombia to the world's second largest exporter the flowers are even providing refuge of sorts to neighboring venezuelans they're heading to colombia's flower farms to flee food sorted shortages and hyperinflation. angy of alaska doesn't really feel at home in chile close to the clinton capital of bogota. but she's happy to be earning money even if it's just the minimum wage she's one of more than half a million venezuelans who fled the crumbling economy at home to seek a living in neighboring colombia. it's a looming refugee crisis. but i know it's hard for all of us but we have to move forward so i'm a woman in. colombia is one of the world's biggest flower producers. every year around valentine's day exports thirty five thousand tons of flowers to the united states other countries also get their pick a sperm colombia's flower farms that are my main development but added somebody i am for valentine's day and mother's

comprehensive exit mission officeworks is just opened in the state of museum in frankfurt a drab unmeasured from today because he had to have a small what do you think it was about the greatest danger that the seventeenth century yeah i think solving one of the greatest painters if not the greatest for all of that time i mean influence so many other great painters as well is it is very strong as lots of movement in it and he but he did have a vivid imagination i mean when we see pictures of the human body that he paints that it is realistic although slightly muscular one might say but then the situation these people are in can be in a sort of fantasy was an amazing fantasy worlds or very vivid imagination and i don't think it was ever a painter before him who portrayed such a diverse diverse range of subject matter so let's have a look at this wonderful exhibition in frankfurt. homo behold the man wearing his crown of thorns a tortured jesus is presented by paunches pilot to the people who would guess that jesus torso was inspired by a century a symbol of the earthly. ruben's the power of transform ation is a large scale presentation that reveals how the artist drew from the work of different parks and transposed it into a new context. the artistic creativity we see with simply stunning the diversity of this process that draws from many different periods from antiquity through to his own time paintings inspired by sculpture it's very impressive to see how rubens approached all that. the exhibition gives the viewer the chance to see from where rubens got his inspiration and to observe those correlations in astonishing detail. his work is so rich in offer so much. it's like a creative competition is being shown that even those who are in the know are justifiably amazed at the sheer creative achievement. under construction. mythological venus and adonis takes its inspiration from of the same name. as the scene around showing venus from the front in all her glory. around a hundred works are on offer at rubens the power of transformation in frankfurt. exquisite all i have to say is it's crazy stuff and the term reuben esque and that's often used to describe these gorgeous voluptuous beautiful women and it came from a spin things that's a great tribute to ribbons isn't it yeah it is a great tribute and it is wonderful but on the other hand i sometimes think that that's what people think all he did you know in a minute he did so much. much more i mean there's a lot of sensuality in his work sexuality if you like there's lots of symbolism too let's have a look at a couple of paintings to show this is first of all i mean lots of religious paintings it was of the time of course what this one depicting jesus has just been taken down from across this is one of thirteen painting similar to that depicting the moments after the death of this one jews or the head of majeure and the snakes it's this is greek mythology of course rather gruesome picture to me it could be almost a painting of the twentieth century this one feature featuring pan and searing again a reference to greek mythology in his work this self-portrait of the great man himself i have to say he's not very flattering very flattering about his own face you see and yet he was a very clever businessman actually and when he got sort of commissions from rich people he made them look fabulous and powerful and absolutely beautiful of course and how did he manage to complete such a huge body oh well i can paintings during his lifetime well he had a bit a help to be honest he produced three thousand paintings which he couldn't have done alone really i mean he and some of them were absolutely vast you know he was a mint successful immensely rich and he was even a serb by the way he was so peter paul rubens from charles the first in england he was also made a knight by philip the fourth of spain and that the height of his fame over one hundred artists worked in his vast studio that he had built in and it was like an italian palace and it was almost a factory he was actually he was almost a brand the rubens brand and incidentally two of the artists who work there helping him out was one was van dyke and the other was young boy one of the broad goals. and i mean he took full advantage he did the outline sketches i'm sure he sort of got them to fill in i suspect we will never know we live in no but i think it's really worth going to franklin is the fall from but then for us to actually go and have a look at the thanks and i was never a fine until i saw one of these vast paintings close up and it is quite extraordinary how people can do this i mean the different elements you talked about the muscularity the sexuality the sensuality and the wonderful women that he. saluted and it's all the time and i'd see if anybody listening around the world if you if you're going to be any way different but until the end of may it's the state
