A global conference on Media Freedom square in mexico where reporters risk their very lives reporting on drug lords and human traffickers plus algae growth accelerates in the worlds oceans will find out why a look at some of the areas most affected. The herat thank you so much for your Company Everyone a court in germany has sentenced a failed Asylum Seeker from iraq to life in prison for the rape and murder of a 14 Year Old Girl while the case prompted a public outcry because the suspect should have been deported after his asylum application was rejected but instead he was allowed to stay in germany and kill the girl last year. Life imprisonment for 22 year old ali best shot thats the toughest sentence allowed under german law the judge said he had shown neither compassion no remorse for the son his mother this made it even harder i live right on the one hand im grateful for the verdict he cant do anything to any girl or anyone else anymore but on the other hand it still doesnt bring my daughter back. In may last year but child rape and murder sana 2 weeks passed before any trace of her body was found acting on a tip from another migrant who had been living with bashara police discovered susannahs corpse next to a Railway Track in a hole covered with dirt and branches the rejected Asylum Seeker and his family fled to Northern Iraq but he was arrested that and handed over to German Authorities he confessed to killing susanna but denied raping her. Son his father said he was shocked by a bush asked unrepentant misfortune to stick remarks as well others at the trial. This is. The perpetrator showed no remorse empathy or understanding that he could have done something wrong couldnt this was really a crime. And as the presiding judge also put it as if the perpetrator tried to blame others implying the girl was promiscuous and her death was her own fault and that he is not guilty at all. The more to improve to go. Far right wing groups have seized on the case saying it shows the governments migration policy has had disastrous consequences hes had denied by shots request for asylum and he was supposed to have been deported long ago the extent of his crimes means hes unlikely to qualify for early release. Faces another trial on charges of raping an 11. Year old girl. Right here with me in the serious political correspondence simon young youve been there following this story very closely for us simon the court handed down a life sentence is that the maximum punishment under german law yes and what life usually means in germany is 15 years and then. The prisoner can be released but if the Court Decides that the crime is especially serious then they can prevent that release of the 50 years and that is what has happened in this case so this man wont be released for quite a long time one of the prosecutors today said he doesnt expect it to be for at least 22 years and in fact this man is also facing trial for another crime against a minor and if that sentence were also pause then there could be a total he could spend at least 30 years in jail so a very long sentence the longest in fact prison sentence possible really germany all right now this killing of course has sparked really a nationwide debate and fury as well because she his asylum application failed but somehow he wasnt deported or something went wrong in that process has there been any political fallout since this case well indeed since this case and there have been others but the government has been reviewing those procedures and in trying to ensure that people who all. He you know his his silent process has been rejected that they can be deported effectively but there are problems about sending people back to countries where there are still Security Problems ironically of course this man when he was accused of this crime his 1st action was to flee to his countrys so. That rather undermined his asylum application i should say of course as was said in the report there the far right have seized on base case and others like it to play up peoples fears about the effects the negative effects of mass migration into germany the government says you know this is an absolutely tiny minority of people committing these kind of crimes and in fact when we look at the whole Crime Statistics for germany we see that theyve been continued to fall even during the influx of migrants into germany but of course a case like this will always grab headlines thats very shocking indeed while i have you here with me i want to get your take on another story that were tracking for you because there are now new fears here again regarding german chancellor Angela Merkel we seen shaking in public for the 3rd time within a month this has sparked renewed concerns about her health and this latest incident occurred today she stood with finlands visiting Prime Minister watching military honors to mark his arrival. Some of its very difficult to see the chancellor trembling that way this is the 3rd incident within a month yeah it is it is worrying i think and you know people will last questions about this the 1st time was just 3 weeks ago also when the ukrainian new ukrainian president zelinsky was in berlin it was a very hot day and after that merkel said that she had just been a bit dehydration she needed some water and after that she felt fine but it happened again a week or so later indoors it wasnt particularly hot and so people ask questions there and it hasnt been that hot today in berlin so you know there are people have called in on my own this and people are beginning perhaps to wonder whether it could affect. Work in any way. When asked about it she seemed to shrug it off and nothing to see here what exactly did she say yes she says that she has been dealing with a problem and shes making progress but it wasnt entirely clear what she meant by that but i suppose shes busy having medical treatment she thinks its a contained problem she said that it would disappear as quickly as it cane and she also says she feels fine she feels 100 percent confident that shes able to do her job as chancellor theres nothing to worry about and you know you know everything is fine basically but that remains to be seen whether people will really accept that what exactly i mean this is the 3rd travelling spell in a very short time span. Im wondering what will her explanation quiet some of the concerns that are growing out yet will people in germany are respectful they dont including the media by the way that are demanding more information that they want to see the medical records as you might imagine happening in some other countries they tend to think is a personal Health Problem and she should be left to deal with it but obviously each time this these incidents occur and the chance that hasnt suggested that they wont happen again you know there will be questions are asked and there will be concerns we know this is Angela Merkels last term in office but there has been a lot of question from a political perspective about whether shell make it to the end of that that time and now perhaps from a medical point of view as well when does her term and in a couple of years 2 years time 3 years time some young thank you greatly appreciate it. For now and tell you about some of the other stories making news around the world.

A chinese Anti Corruption activist who campaigned for officials to disclose their wealth is reported to have been arrested and charged with promoting terrorism about seans arrest last week in beijing came as china climbs down on communist Party Critics what prompted his arrest is unclear its unusual for chinese human rights activists to be accused of terrorism mr sangs wife says she fears it means her husband will receive a heavy presence sentence. And with more on the story his debut correspondence marty has been are in beijing. Done by a tongue as that this isnt who has previously focused on the visual corruption hes part of a movement of citizens that sprang up in the beginning of this decade who are mainly focusing on governance issues and human rights issues he has disappeared in 2014 and was sentenced to 2 years in jail that time after being released he refused to shut up hes been detained again just prior to the 30 years anniversary of the chinaman crackdown that was earlier this year in june and has disappeared since then hes been charged with propagating extremism and terrorism thats a very severe challenge and one that has rarely been used on dissidents before he might face many years in jail and this charge indicates also that we may be seeing another cv a crackdown on dissidents here in china. Spending a reporting there from beijing china next step scientists are sounding the alarm about the growth of intercontinental algae in the worlds oceans a huge mass has just been located off the coast of south america sometimes its toxic and kills wildlife i dolphins and turtles seaweed is another form of algae and its starting to take a toll on the Tourism Industry. The caribbean and the gulf of mexico are tourism magnets boasting some sandy beaches and Crystal Clear water but this picture is being disrupted by an unwelcome visitor like here at a beach in tulu mexico which now looks like this sargasso muta come a brown algae which spreads rapidly is upsetting the sensitive ecosystem the seaweed can reach a length of up to 16 meters growing up to 10 centimeters a day and it does more than upset the local Tourism Industry according to a recent university of south florida study algae growth has reached an intercontinental level since 2011 the sprawling plant has spread to more and more parts of the Atlantic Ocean last year a 20000000 ton carpet of alkies stretched all the way from africa to Central America but what has caused this explosive spread. One aspect is the rising temperatures of the oceans are so Global Warming supports the growth of the 2nd aspect is an abundance of nutrients. Can double their mass within 11 days and if they have access to enough nutrients up due to the deforestation of the amazon jungle huge amounts of nutrient rich soil washed away into the oceans. Several luxury resorts spend hundreds of thousands of euros each year cleaning their beaches once the algae reaches land it decomposes creating a pungent odor. And used even in a time every year its different but there seems to be more as the years go by when a little cleaning it puts a huge strain on local authorities in a. Manner that is to be honest this stuff affects all activity on the beach youre expecting to find a clean sandy beach strike but instead find it covered in elderly. Whats worse is the effect on marine life the sea turtles for example cannot make it to the beach through the thick ill be meaning they can no longer lay their eggs theyre a serious threat to an already endangered species. All right lets talk now to make where youre walking in florida is a professor for oceanography at the university of south florida and one of the authors of the latest reports on the algae amat in the Atlantic Ocean professor wang thank you so much for coming on we greatly appreciate it and do we know exactly why there is more and more algae and seaweed. Thanks for the bad tension so we have found some early preliminary study and wait on those linkage between their race and nutrients apply into the ocean to the resin sarcasm blooms from the neck could be a. Factor its really dont those rooms so what should be done concretely about it is there anything that can be done about it. Actually we have found that new because of the increase in deforestation of activities and also the throttle as a consumption in the amazon basin and the new trade supply can be increased due to this process and if we can do something this that would definitely help. How many different types of dangerous algae are there out there because when i think of algae i dont think danger i think healthy. Actually i want to make one count clarification so this kind of algae is not for you to a lot of marine life actually you know pull water them is a good thing to a lot of marrying spanish in crops turn those and burners they use this is that as you havent had the refugees so its actually with a lot of ecological value this when you say no over water so it only becomes up welcome when too much of the sag asked them study to appeal in that on the coast on a beach so then it will be home for the coastal ecosystem and also bought by the tourism for obvious wheat reasons yes so now if this proliferation continues with these harmful algae or at least they you know where they are currently what would happen. So i think the impacts will be huge to the coast so it cosa and also for the for the human house because some people have breaking problems because of this when when he case of cats and primarily they now ply the smell like rotten next so thats thats not good and local tourism fishery and so thats the coastal part when hes in the open ocean and we see a lot of them and that means a lot of biomass and also the huge impact to the entire marine ecosystem we need to further investigate what that would mean you realize theres so much of them out there. Professor wang thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us thank you. I think you bring us ation. New york city is in full party boat as the u. S.
