these pictures are from germany and this is what it's look like in switzerland now both places where we saw this rather large amount of snow were in the mountains and the snow is certainly very welcome and the same system also brought us some very strong winds that helped to clear away some of the smorgon pollution from the northern parts of italy so this is still is very welcome trouble it's a little bit too active for my liking just sinking its way down into the southeast and as it does so it's giving us some very very heavy downpours some places could see over sixty millimeters of rain from this system that's enough to give us a problem with flooding it's also working its way down towards the coast there of turkey and as it does say it could well give us some very severe thunderstorms a very large hail and some very gusty winds could bring us a little bit of damage so this is there is going to gradually work its way down into the southeast as we head through the next few days as well and as it does so gradually begins to peter out but i think it's juror in the day today where there's the greatest risk of seeing a little bit of destruction from this storm behind it

we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know it's very challenging they believe but they believe because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real story so i'll just mend it is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. it's everywhere the safety and fitting in

parliament from the party called the alternative for germany or a f d more than ninety of them with seats in parliament the issue for the f.t. will be can they be a coherent cohesive united force in parliament already one of the f.t. is former leaders has said she will not take her seat alongside her colleagues we should say her former colleagues the f.t. is in opposition because nobody else will work with it also an opposition on the social democrats with one hundred fifty more than one hundred fifty seats and the left. party of former communists mostly well they have sixty nine seats they

liberals with eighty seats and the green party with sixty seven seats but can those three parties thrash out their differences and find an agreement they're trying to do that the talks they're holding right now in this building just across the street from parliament they're trying to talk through these issues right now the question will be how do they bridge the gaps between them they were

series since nine hundred eighty eight ellie's clean kershaw will be starting pitcher for game one you know i think. they meant a lot more and chicago were saying we get to go world series that's a special thing but now you know we were a foot in the switch a little bit and we're trying to figure out how to win four games and you know after the season's over look back on a than hopefully you
