And more money. Plus australian football fans breathe a huge sigh of relief that the womens world cup is one of the tournament favorites were turns to the Winners Circle at the expense of powerhouse brazil. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us the United States and iran escalates their war of words over attacks on to or oil tankers in the gulf of oman the u. S. Military has released a video that it says supports claims that tehran is to blame for yesterdays explosions u. S. Secretary of state michael peo also alleges that to iran was behind the blasts but iran says the u. S. Is allegations are baseless. Smoke billows from a stricken ship but is it a smoking gun the u. S. Says iran was behind attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman. This is the estimate is based on intelligence the weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar rate in attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy Group Operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. The u. S. Military has released photographs appearing to show damage and a limp its mine on one of the time because. It also published a video of grainy black and white footage that it says shows evidence of irans revolutionary guard removing an unexploded limp it. On thursday a fire broke out on a Norwegian Oil tanker following explosions. Hours later a 2nd tanker japanese and also radioed for help one ship had departed saudi arabia the other the United Arab Emirates passing through the strait of hormuz as a strategically important waterway which carries a 5th of all Global Oil Supplies that iran has rejected to the u. S. Accusations and says its navy came to the aid of one of the ships Iranian State t. V. Broadcast images of the rescued crew members irans foreign minister said the incidents were suspicious. Leaders from around the world expressed. Facts must be established and responsibilities be fired. And if there is something the world cannot afford is a major confrontation in the gulf region russia cautioned against rushing to blame iran. Weve recently witnessed an Escalation Campaign of political psychological and military pressure on iran. Against speculating about the events that have just occurred. In the situation in an empty iranian sense. Is just weeks since the us blamed iran for a series of attacks on 4 other ships in the region i fool details have yet to be released iran has also rejected those accusations. Earlier we spoke to back from the German Institute for International Security affairs he told us the world should prepare for an Armed Conflict between the u. S. And iran the strait of hormuz is crucial to the flow of middle east oil exports and therefore a strategic position for iran to attack heres what he said its simply its the Energy Region of the of the planet some of the biggest oil and gas supporters. In the persian gulf among them saudi arabia kuwait qatar as a gas exporter and the strait of hormuz is is quite a narrow busy narrow place and the iranians by using limpet mines by using all these small means top and so on would be able to prevent many ships from passing through and that is that is why these events are so dangerous and if this goes on as it has been going on for 2 months now we will see a military escalation before the end of the administration. Now women in switzerland are in a 24 hour strike for greater equality its been nearly 30 years since the last such protest and demonstrators say too little has changed it was only in 1991 that the last west canton was forced to grant women the right to vote.

Every day after she finishes work as a beauty parlor maria souza leaves her for the love behind sound ghetto is one of many poor settlements ringing Rio De Janeiro where the government is almost invisible in daily life especially when it comes to education but its. A lot of my neighbors barely know the alphabet and they dont know how to add or subtract correctly that means they cant get a loan is a terrible situation. And. My rear goes to school in the evenings her goal is to get a middle School Diploma Public Schools are the only option. To build your you dont know when i was younger in the countryside there were very few teaches i lived far from the city and very few teachers came we had terrible conditions in school. But my goal to play songs. Sylvia them over on wants to help maria get her diploma hes an engineer by trade 5 times a week on a square in the middle of rio he offers free tuition in math physics and for the illiterate people the alphabet its a neighborhood project 25 teachers helping 100 students to plug the gaps in the state school system.

Hes a star pupil and has a passion for electronic engineering the school is able to cater to that enthusiasm with modern equipment thanks to international donors.

The oss enough on 2nd school is an exception to the rule helped by incredibly motivated teachers set up by yeah yeah so we work with values such as sustainability because these are important for us and our planet but also the human rights that apply to all of us wanted to deplore. Brazils president to show you both the narrow is not considered a friend of human rights and has spoken out against minorities he also questions Climate Change could put creationism on the curriculum and wants to militarize schools. Meanwhile maria souza is struggling with math but the 55 year old wont give up shes improving slowly but surely. On her way home she passes expensive private schools parents pay fees of up to a 1000. 00 euros a month to send their children here. We need to bob and me are black indigenous or poor people less intelligent than wealthy ones no they just dont have the same chances if they had those their life would be different brazil would be a better and more developed country but right now that is not the case mission. Education in brazil is still a question of money. Well as we mentioned people across brazil are expected to take part in mass protests today lets bring in san kawhi a journalist based in sao paulo hi sam thank you for joining us so brazilians will be taking to the streets there not just protesting education cuts but really a whole range of issues tell us more about why people are going out today. Well todays more of a general strike than a protest as what were seeing is transport networks Public Transport Networks wincey ounce of the twins he resilient states and the dish and the Federal District to. We seeing this this is partially paranoia is paralyzed from now whether that will improve late in the day as it as it often does in these strike situations thats probably what we can expect the main issue for the shriver is as well as the proposed education cuts is the pension reform a reform of the Social Security service that would essentially see Many Brazilians most brazilians king for longer not be out. As early as they would so at now now they see this reform is seen as crucial by members of shy ableson aros government to get brazil slating a quote to me back on track but its encountered resistance pretty much across the board is an unpopular reform because essentially nobody wants to work for longer and there are there are other camps that say some kind of reform is necessary but not the reform on all road wants to paulson and there are other camps that are just completely against any kind of pension reform and said you know frustration with paulson our government is growing these are not the 1st protests that weve seen since he took office but how much is this actually affecting both the now in his government and his popularity. Well i mean thats a very difficult one i would say really at the moment the big jury see overall positions who both sonorities government really i mean that had been you know sizable processed eccentric but most of the opposition is coming from what weve been saw at the government you know yesterday we saw the 2nd was the minister in fact to leave his government that was the general sense of screws was very much seen as a kind of moderating force inside the government a sort of kind of i dont in the room if you will compared to some of these very extreme and he globalist types weve seen you know the forces inside of his governments who so you know this is a minnesota thats left in you know digital more than 6 months thats thats quite something in brazil while the these protests they may not generate general satisfaction that make you know cool satisfaction ok you know pushes faction so much with the bosn aura governments but you know its its its all a sawing that things are not going that well the no guns a plan and you know the size of the protests today and the people on the street that would be thats thats another that will be another big story for people who are opposed to his government basically all right journalist as sam kawhi speaking to us from how pollo thank you so much. Thank you now the World Health Organization is expected to declare an International Emergency over the ebola epidemic in the democratic republic of congo the Development Comes after the disease spread across the border to uganda leading to the deaths of 2 people from the same family it is the worst outbreak of ebola since an epidemic in west africa ended in 2016. In the back of this pickup truck the body of ebola 2nd victim in uganda but overall the body and of that missing bomber was 50 she passed away i was off to her 5 year old grandson who was the 1st to die the family was exposed to a bona while on a visit to neighboring congo. I suspect given for myself this was my 3rd year of the earth and in the 3rd my son thinking of the 3rd my 5th in libya my kids as with us she would see us in the 6th and screws they would at birth in the underneath where holds us with a hole in the hearth laying on a bed in the familiar with the 3rd this is the 2nd deadliest outbreak of ebola in history. But this is the 1st time in this outbreak that the virus has crossed borders since it broke out in the democratic republic of congo last august and thats prompted the World Health Organization to again consider declaring it a global emergency but i wonder how with the cases overboard now confirmed in uganda the World Health Organization is reconvening at the Emergency Committee on International Health regulations the meetings objective will be to ascertain whether the outbreak continues constitutes a Public Health emergency of International Concern fields will be the 3rd meeting of the committee since the beginning of the outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo that experts say if the bowl is declared an International Emergency will be a boost in funding and. Resources to tackle the outbreak more than 1400 people have died since it was declared 8 months ago. Now on the International Stage mayors election doesnt usually attract much attention but here in germany a vote in the city of gurlitz is coming under close scrutiny the medieval town sits right on the border with poland its a popular Tourist Destination but whats attracting interest now is that a member of the rightwing populist a. F. D. Party stands a chance of becoming mayor something the other parties are teaming up to prevent. A former Police Officer and member of the far right populist party. He is running for mayor of gurnet hes well liked around town and has already won the 1st round of folding that got a lot of people worried. For off the car nonstop well you dont have to be scared of the game just look around at the people here at the stand you can talk to anyone or not vigilantes were just regular conservative citizens and guns them on account of what the world of but many gurlitz residents disagree theyre worried about their citys reputation gurlitz with its beautiful old town attracts many tourists it also has attracted hollywood directors some movies have even been filmed here whole till all know martin feeds is worried about how his city will be to see n s a c. H. And of tourist businesses has written an open letter expressing its concern over the a if he counted it although they didnt explicitly name him or his party. Were food shorn. Guess whos been told were worried that visitors may be scared off if certain parties get the upper hand when. We feel this way because weve been listening to how visitors are reacting to the current elections that have to include a small. Businesses think that if the a 15 moves into the town hall the number of tourists may fall at the moment 300000 visitors a year stop by go on it. For the 1st time in a if Tea Party Member could become mayor of a german city that could send a powerful message to the rest of the country thats why Political Parties here in gurlitz are working together trying to prevent that. The man who has profited most from the current political unrest to supposing condit octavian or so off the cd hes lived in gurlitz for 30 years nevertheless his opponents accuse the native remain you know of not being a true gurlitz are but now the left and greens are also supporting him through their showing of goodness what is good to. Look into gurlitz as a guide for how to deal with the future should we remain open or to learn. Proposes. Theres more at stake here than just who wins the Mayoral Election gurlitz has become a symbol of whether or not the far right is translating its popularity into political power not just in this city but across eastern germany. Or here in germany authorities are working on new guidelines to be able to access data on digital voice assistance like amazons Alexa Privacy campaigners are strongly opposed to be idea but the interior minister insists that law abiding citizens have nothing to fear. Alexa is omnipresent and hears everything a command could come at any time as soon as the name alexa is said out loud every piece of information is stored in the cloud thats made the German Interior Ministry take notice it wants to explore whether alexa and systems like it can be useful in fighting crime. Condi politike needs to politicians cant just log on while the internet aids criminals thats when its starts what matters its not about law abiding citizens who have to fear theyre being monitored delegates. Technically speaking getting ahold of crime related data would be possible but most servers where the data is stored are located in other countries amazon recently made it clear that no Customer Data would be released without a valid legal order that means it will hand over customer information if order to according to u. S. Law American Intelligence Services are allowed to ask for Customer Data and pass it on at least when it pertains to foreign nationals but german data protectionists are skeptical. The price for the price of these demands would be to make expensive deals with other countries which would then through their intelligence agencies on the ground facilitate access to data on german citizens. German opposition parties one of bigger dangers. In germany everyone must have the possibility to exert completely privacy over their thoughts and so on and communications if the core of privacy in ones life is affected then every investigation a nation undertakes is a failure. In germany the debate over the limits of peoples privacy is growing. That has to do deal.
