For enemies waiting for an opportunity for a crack through which you can infiltrate just look at the events of recent days. So at least twenty killed and hundreds arrested in violent demonstrations in iran since last thursday what began as local protests in the countrys second largest city against economic problems seem so snowballed into unprecedented nationwide confrontations between citizens and the state when americas president tweets praising demonstrators for acting against what he called the brutal and corrupt regime is irans Supreme Leader right to blame the unrest on his countrys enemas. Video footage reaching dortch avella through social media shows the extent of the unrest spreading across iran. The violence which has rocked the country for nearly a week appears if anything to be escalating. These pictures from the Central Province of is fun unverified. Official state television says six people died in this protest has stormed this police station. Supreme leader ayatollah ali how many accuses enemies of iran of stirring up the unrest. Bushmen Montazeri Iqbal the anime is poised for an opportunity a breach to penetrate through that look at the incidents in the past few days all those who are against the Islamic Republic of iran those with cash and politics weapons and intelligence operators you can join hands to create trouble that opposition leaders say the demonstrators are demanding far reaching reforms or your mom has changes even radical changes. They want to change pretty much everything in short they want to live differently. Its true that improving the Economic Situation is very important for them. But its not only about that citizen economy it isnt possible but soon the only. Has the protests widen irans president rouhani has expressed sympathy for peaceful demonstrators worried about making ends meet thats unlikely to satisfy their demands. D. W. Correspondent chads been monitoring events and joins us from our studios in the bone welcome now this seems to be a process without any particular leadership or coordination so there do seem to be lots of different demands yes indeed there is no Political Leadership as it was for instance in two thousand and nine but there is a lot of people people are frustrated lets see lets put it this way people are frustrated theyre angry especially about economical situation about the rise of unemployment about the rising food prices about corruption and this is people who have not had a platform in the last decade so have they cannot make their voices be heard they have no media who are every flecked their their wishes and theyre angry theyre frustrated and now taking to the streets and asking for something to change for something to happen here and where is the anger focused is its own president rouhani is the government for not boosting the economy or is it a higher perhaps of those Supreme Leaders. Well its much more than that actually it started with like what people fail one scenario is that it started in mashhad by actually organized by hardliners who wanted to criticize or you know protest against the Rouhani Rouhani is governments and then its took over and people who are frustrated people who are you know. Complaining about social and political grievances coming taking over onto the streets but you know its very complex when you talk about iranian politics its always we have the rouhani government and we have hardliners and it is kind of many people now saying that this is not like also the reformists and president rouhani is not a real opposition so to say because they are also part of the system and he is also representing the system but what we have seen and what we have noticed this time is there have been a lot of slogans against Ayatollah Khomeini directly against the Supreme Leader people chanting. Death to the dictator referring to him which hasnt been in this has been there before people really you know going out in this really also more violent form and having declared the monster against the whole system and president rouhani was elected on a promise of change on improved increased civil rights why has the progress been so slow. The thing is though first of all a president in the Islamic Republic of iran even willing or even wanting to change something has only very limited power already is very limited in or in what he can actually do or bring about and sort of changes so but people were hoping for after the election last year when they reelected president has an iranian they were hoping that with the lifting of the sanctions the Economic Situation would get better and rouhani himself he made a lot of promises and people did not or do not see them being fulfilled of being being addressed and actually also what is criticized a lot is that president rouhani is also focusing a lot on Foreign Policy as financially and militarily and people once you know they domestic issues to be to be addressed and actual and he in just two some weeks ago and then the middle of december he presented his budget draft to the parliament in which increased they did budgets the revolutionary guard corps over forty percent and this is also one point that made people really becoming angry and this is also people who actually have voted for ronnie himself so we have to see that there has been a hash tag on twitter recently with two translated in english will be hash tag regret where people actually they regret to have voted for president rouhani because they dont see him taking any action or changing actually anything and actually and losing hope in this system to be reformable. Zaba thank you. Now a leading figure in germanys far right alternative a dodge Political Party could face charges of illegal hate speech for a tweet on new years eve paper assets from stalker scolded police in the city of cologne the publishing a new years greeting in arabic asking whether they were trying to appease what she called barbaric gang raping muslim hordes of men a tweet came as a new german law cracking down on line hate speech came into full effect social Media Companies must now delete potentially criminal posts within twenty four hours or face fines of up to fifty Million Euros. New years eve celebrations passed without serious incidents this year but two years ago hundreds of women reported being sexually attacked many of the perpetrators were migrants since then police in cologne have pushed the slogan respect they use social media to spread the word in many languages including arabic began to expunge voice a leading member of the far right alternative for Germany Party mom the action in a tweet and criticize the police do you think it is to appease the barbaric gang raping hordes of muslim men twitter deleted the entry immediately. Cologne police regard the tweet is anti muslim prosecutors are now assessing whether to charge one story with incitement to hatred that has an inside as on those that is especially difficult in this case because the hurdles by the Constitutional Court are very high when it comes to stating political opinions especially for career politicians. Explaining was on the horse and with a politician like fun choice the first step would be to lift her parliamentary immunity experts say her tweet was typical for her. Daughter has regularly attempts to incite racial hatred of migrants muslims and so called others that something germany experienced with anti semitic slogans in the Weimar Republic in the one nine hundred twenty s. And it can be dangerous to the republic if it is not stopped he could fairly been deemed it twitter suspended the f. T. Politicians account for several hours acting under authority of the new law that requires social media firms to promptly delete suspected criminal hate speach. Lets get more detail you Political Correspondent report to welcome rupert to firstly lets start with batteries phone still. Well because from stories is a leading figure of the fall rise populist party alternative for james germany or d. And since they entered the German Parliament bundestag last year she has been serving them as a deputy leader in the Parliamentary Party and she has quite a reputation for using provocative statements to gain Media Attention in two thousand and sixteen she at the height of the refugee crisis she called for the German Border Police to shoot at refugees when they are crossing the dormant german border even including women and children and after a huge outcry of criticism she said well i never really meant to publish thought it was just on my computer and then i accidentally slipped with my fingers over the mouse so shes got quite a reputation for rather braces and very strong provocative statements and. Vital saying that German Authorities want to germans to live with criminal mobs of migrants so these these comments these tweets is this just the f t being a f d a short are they looking to make a particular splash as they say it in germanys politics for the first time its a little bit of both has made it a political strategy to use provocative statements to gain Media Attention they even is some sort of manual of step by step of working the people step by step on how to do this how to get Media Attention by a provocative statement saying first you have to do do do the statements and as soon as the criticism comes in you have to call it censorship and you have to present yourself as someone who speaks out the truth even if its not mainstream and right now it comes in handy the a of d. As you just said has been is for the first time in the German Parliament of the boom in stock and. The main focus was not on that. They havent really managed to bring forward anything to bring it across their message so it comes in handy right now and it works just in the way the procedure just describes it tell us more then about this new law here in germany came into effect today that made twitter act so promptly to bring it down bring down that this law is called the Network Enforcement law and it is the outcome of a very long debate we have seen here in germany which was about how to tackle hate speech and fake news in social media and what the law does is its a play couple only for social networks which are with have more than two million users here in germany in the end of means facebook and twitter and it gives them the responsibility for all the content that is published on these platforms by the uses so these companies have the obligation to delete all broke any rule for content within twenty four hours after a complaint has been made so they are responsible for checking for money touring these this continent and. If the Companies Fail to do so huge penalties could be implied on them even the highs would be fifty Million Euros ok so the house of the companies and then as you say the people like they if they say oh youre centering us youre censoring us. Do you see any merit in the argument well they have a point although as we have already said that is a strategy of the a of d. To use that sort of statement. The they are not the only ones who criticized this law there has been huge criticism especially from civil rights movements who say this is bringing censorship through the back door all because the state is using the companies as some sort of the deputy to bring in. Legal prosecution and. As the state is imposing high. Penalties on these companies they could thats the problem here that they could. Delete any opinion which they see because they think its more mainstream or is disputable. Them into trouble and so you are given i think well how different is that from broadcasters like the doj or valid or newspapers were not allowed to publish or broadcast anything thats defamatory otherwise we get we get sued thats just just its just how great of organizations work lets hear from the f. T. Leader your morton lets get plucked out here was surely a very strongly worded statement weve all due respect that must be allowed in political discourse of course would follow a lot of people and get annoyed and just a fireplace so when the claim police talk in arabic to arabic speaking people. In that case you would have to translate into every language what the German Authorities say. The best. In germany german is the official language and we insist that migrants living here should be able to speak enough german to understand what the police say and that they should do what the police say before. Coming from a party that printed a lot of his election material here in germany in russian but lets set that to one side this is not a germany is now this countrys Third LargestPolitical Party in the parliament so i suppose we must assume that lots of germans agree with them in a certain way yes there is a growing sentiment especially against islam and muslims and the image of islam as religion has suffered a lot during the last recent years theres a survey by germanys r. T. O. Television company and that says that only sixteen percent of germans say that islam is a trustworthy religion. Just a compared with the Christian Church is the church at least get twenty seven percent of german saying ok its a trustworthy organisation and only one third of the germans believe that the islam should have a substantial role within the society so yes the a of d. Can be sure to find some approval within the German Society for their braces and anti muslim. Criticism against islam and islamic people would be devout thank you so much youre welcome. Hollywood stars like Reese WitherspoonJennifer Aniston and Shonda Rhimes are amongst the celebrities backing a campaign against Sexual Harassment called times up and an open letter to the New York Times more than three hundred actors writers and directors said they particularly wanted to focus on women in low Wage Industries whose lack of Financial Stability left them open to exploitation a campaign to only been going for a couple of days and its already closed close to its target of thirty Million Dollars for a Legal Defense fund. Time is up the time for putting up with Sexual Harassment is over three hundred powerful women from the business and entertainment world are starting a campaign and using their status to help those women who have none theyre bringing their support but ordinary workers to take their tormentors to court the launch has already raised thirty Million Dollars and that figure is sure to rise actresses such as Reese Witherspoon and eva longoria launched their appeal in the New York Times and in an open letter there are also demanding tough penalties for companies that tolerate all downplay harassment alongside top actresses or well known producers and lawyers together they are fighting against Sexual Harassment and shocking statistics like these one in three women between the ages of eighteen and thirty four has been sexually molested in the workplace and in low paid jobs Sexual Harassment is even more likely. Times ups first action came two weeks ago when they brought a lawyer anita hill on board. Hill is a pioneer of the movement twenty six years ago in the sensational testimony before the u. S. Senate she accused Supremes CourtJustice NomineeClarence Thomas of Sexual Harassment after that she began raising money for victims. Times up comes hard on the heels of the me two campaign but goes. Well me too brought the problem to light times up is campaigning for firm action against Sexual Harassment and to raise awareness about the issue actresses are being encouraged to wear black at the Golden Globes awards ceremony and this weekend. All the times up bastards are already gaining traction on social media there is a tweet from one of the initiators Reese Witherspoon there it is it says i stand with all women across every industry to say times up on abuse arent marginalization and under representation join me sign a statement of solidarity and its not just that women in the film business are showing their support is a former chief of staff to Michelle Obama tina chen times up on Sexual Harassment in every workplace im proud to be working with courageous women and men who are coming forward and lawyers who believe in justice and fairness justice temblor Justin Timberlake also back in the campaign they tweeted no more accepting Sexual Harassment and inequality at work as normal it is not normal. So how will it work and why has this issue been so prominent in cultural the industrys on a trial is from d. W. Culture welcome run. Correspondent jim moret joins us from washington not welcome carolyn we saw some responses some tweets that that tell us more about what times up wants to achieve. Well its important to say that time set meeting is and he probably meant the meetings of this weve already began in october last year the nissho davis leader lairs and its run by volunteers more organized in working groups and one of these working groups is administered by the National Womens law centers Legal Network for gender equity thats a long name and they are the ones who will connect the victims of Sexual Harassment with lawyers and will therefore also be responsible and will decide who gets the help from this thirteen million fans that is one of the points that this movement is is about. Little show asking. To wear black and the forthcoming the Golden Globes. Yes that is also i think their requests to do the Golden Globes are this sunday and this is of course symbolic it is not a direct. Help from this movement to the victims rather trouble why is this issue of such a house when playing out so prominently in the entertainment world in the entertainment and cultural world i think theres two reasons its us and the system us because we put these people the stars the geniuses on a pedestal and we project our colleague wishes and desires and ideas into them and one exact example you sit in a movie and you watch your favorite actor you dont want to associate him to bad behavior or illegal behavior you listen to a wonderful concert the director perhaps has a Bad Reputation you dont want to know that because hes a genius and its such a reward to listen to him to see him directing so there is a split between the image we put into these people and the reality is these people are normal people theyre not better or worse but what happens is when things like that happen there is a massive disenchantment. Illusions crumble and thats what i think that is one of the true reasons in the system is were talking about stars and geniuses as ive said and the system is built the cultural World Entertainment what is built around these people and these people are almost intouchables sometimes the more well known they are and so what what happens is that what arises is a world of silence no one dares criticising these people these stars these geniuses these artists. And theres one other aspect which i find interesting artists have always been granted Something Like i would call a. Moral freeze free zone around them they were allowed to do adultery sex drugs and rocknroll not bad behavior really not mean behavior not evil behavior but like lous behavior. And many of them some of them we dont know exactly they have abused that free zone we didnt look into that that was their free zone around the artist their life we even maya that were different from from the rest of us but they they went beyond the borders and they went to the dark side and i think these all of this to together makes the cultural system the star system so prone to harassment that were going to thank for that i want to pick about those those points there about this moral free zone in that this culture of silence with carolyn to the in washington is this now all about the scandal surrounding Harvey Weinstein and the kevin spaces of this world is that why this is happening now because as far as i understand it these sorts of behaviors have been going on almost a long as hollywood has been there. Yes thats right thats how it started but this is also a very important point because this is also one of the main critics that we heard when when this whole. Sexual harassment Sexual Misconduct started to be public one of the main critiques was is that this is all about hollywood and movie stars and this is one of the main points of this new movement times makes they say its not about hiding Sexual Misconduct only in the movie and t. V. And history but also in all different sectors here in the United States but indeed we could say that this started with. Phil i dont know if you remember that point miss carlson of fox news she was the one who started the development when she sued. News chairman and c. E. O. Roger Roger Roger Ailes in july two thousand and sixteen for Sexual Harassment and had to resign under the pressure and carlson rather than to twenty Million Dollars and that was how all this wave started climbing the tree more in washington thank you ron the trouble he would leave in the bill is thank you. But i is nearly done but as ever the conversation continues online to find some twitter oh your father something new news i could. Still see helicopters and trucks. Are missing because compared to scofield. To strike into the future with a v. W. I do the electric car is a study of the mobility of. Driving next. Building megacities at all costs indias ambition for the future. One hundred state of the art cities are planned in just twenty. Mins from this gigantic undertaking. And who loses. India one hundred new cities subsea. My first bicycle was the sawing machine. I comparable women are balanced by this social model even something as simple as learning how to write them by side isnt. Since i was a little girl i wanted to have them by sight the loss of my home but it took me years to going to get there. Finally they gave up and mentioned by me on my site that but returned because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for girls than rising up. And i want to meet those woman back home who are bones by their duties and social rules and informed them of old dead basic rights my name is dave out of the group and i work due to.
