The threat level from anti semitism is from right wing extremism and from far right terrorism in germany is very high. You see a whole. Our Political Correspondent Thomas Sparrow has been following all the latest developments on this story for us hi thomas some very stark words there from the interior minister tell us more about what was said at that press conference essentially what was said was a long list of challenges that authorities have not only in the next few days and weeks but i would also say in the long term when it comes to tackling one of germanys Biggest Challenges as we just saw there from their home and that is the challenge of far right extremist violence it has been described as a state is one of the Biggest Challenges the countrys facing nowadays and a long list of tasks and challenges begins with for example more Police Presence at synagogues in halle and the surrounding areas but it also goes beyond that in trying to ensure Safety Measures across germany and homogeneous Safety Measures across germany trying to review legal issues as well trying to and i think thats very important also understand more what happens online what happens on the docket and try and understand what authorities exactly can do to monitor what happens on line and what type of crimes can be punished online so those are issues the German Authorities have announced that theyre going to deal with and in fact on friday there will be another meeting by German Security officials not only to take stock regarding what has happened here but also to look. At how they can better tackle these issues whether they can have more personnel whether they can have better equipment whether they need to increase the number of visuals dealing with these issues they have already mentioned some of these aspects the fact theyre going to hire more people to deal with these instances but we can clearly see and clearly say to me is that this is a very big challenge for German Authorities and one that they want to deal what about this horrific attack and yesterday what have we found out about the perpetrator what happened well there was another press conference in the city of karlsruhe thats where federal prosecutors have been working thats where. They have led their investigation and they revealed details of what is known and all some of the Big Questions that are still unknown we talk about the questions how this person became radicalized where he acquired his guns and also where there is a network surrounding him and when we talk about what is known it was clearly stressed that he wanted to create a big impact a big damage on the Jewish Community that he wanted to imitate other shootings that he had seen for example the christchurch shooting in a news event but that he also wants to be an example this person a German National has already had an official arrest warrants or hes officially arrested and more did more shocking details have also been released by federal prosecutors for example that he had 4 kilograms of explosives in his car so you can clearly see they already know a lot about the suspect but they also want to know more in order to understand not only who was surrounding him whether there was a network or there was no can also more details about the actual motive which has already been described by German Authorities as under semitic in nature and also far right extremist all right our Political Correspondent Thomas Sparrow bringing us up to date thank you thomas as well many germans are still in shock over the violence and the attack aimed at the citys Jewish Community following the holiest day in the jewish calendar young kapoor earlier today germanys leaders reacted by pledging that the government would stand firm against racism and antisemitism. The day after the deadly attack at the doors of how the synagogue chancellor Angela Merkel vote to fight extremism in germany. So i let you know it means 1st and foremost and for that i stand before you that the representatives of a constitutional state must use all the means of a constitutional state to fight hatred violence and contempt for human life mention there must be 0 tolerance this kind of a toddler hands meanwhile the emotion and tension will pop up as german president. Joined a Jewish Community in mourning. You can see the mountains history is a reminder present is a challenge and we must take sides on. These images were filmed yesterday by resident they showed a standoff between police and a man dressed in combat type gear shortly after a gunman killed 2 people in need a city synagogue. The 1st there was a huge bang and then someone tried to get into the Jewish Cemetery and fired several times with a shotgun at the cemetery at the door. And then the woman came along the one who was shot she just came along from the tram stop quite by chance to synagogue was full when it was attacked young people the holiest day of the jewish calendar had brought together between 70 and 80 worshippers in her half axemen and american freshly arrived in germany was one of them i think the energy was was fairly calm given the situation today i feel more kind of. Just because people were killed but yesterday it was more about just kind of being really think for a kind of america that you couldnt get through the door and that like a much bigger tragedy was. Didnt happen. The synagogue door didnt open but the attacker didnt turn his gun towards passers by killing him not a monitor restaurant the suspect was captured by Police Outside hala hes a 27 year old german citizen in a video the alleged killer ranted against foreigners women and jews india aftermath of the attack germany has presented a show of unity but many questions remain not least what could have been done to prevent it from happening. Turkish forces have taken at least one village from kurdish fighters on the 2nd day of an assault on Northern Syria turkey has deployed both airstrikes and artillery on towns and villages along the turkish Syrian Border meanwhile turkeys president tempered one has lashed out at International Criticism of his offensive singling out the European Union and threatening to let Syrian Refugees flooding into europe well since turkey launched its offensive on wednesday civilians have started fleeing Northern Syria heres whats been happening. Artillery and aerial bombing light up the sky as turkish troops continue their offensive in northeast syria. Theyre not getting turkeys plan to carve out a buffer zone along the border and to move against their longtime enemy the Kurdish Syrian Democratic forces could say several civilians and soldiers have already died in the assault and they claim turkish bombs that struck a Prison Holding fight is from the socalled islamic state. Retaliates restrikes came from within syria. Some heating homes on the turkish side of the border. Turkish president rejects edda one of a so the start of what he calls operation peace spring its an offensive made possible by washingtons decision to clear the way by withdrawing u. S. Troops we were put into this battle it projected it was supposed to be a 3030 day period and weve been there for many many years and its time to get out were speaking to bus its weve told the president earlier on how we feel but we are speaking to us and were seeing what can be made out of a situation both the u. S. And turkey belong to nato its caution. I count on turkey to act with restraint. Im sure that in the action it may take in Northern Syria its proportionate much should we must cloak jeopardize the gains we have made together against our common enemy isis but the residents of northeast syria arent counting on words to save them theyre escaping the border towns by any means possible for some its only been a few years since they fled from the advance of ai ass now theyre back on the road with no clear destination and we can speak to Thomas Mccloy hes a researcher from the roche of Information Center thats an Advocacy Group for the kurdish areas of syria and he joins us from coming in northeastern syria thomas thank you very much for being with us on our program again you bring us up to date on what the situation is like where you are. Yes so on here and promise lead which is by no mean one of the worst affected cities by this invasion of the knesset the skyline is ringed by smoke civilians have been dying in the city itself noon Young Children losing their legs as well. Several study casualties in other cities along the border as such as tell of the out which is majority arab city one of the many majority arab cities in the of the syria. Situation is much more severe going strikes meant. As you mentioned civilians fleeing with whatever they can carry from the cities and fortunately many of them are losing their lives. Tom as were looking right now at some live pictures at that turkish Syrian Border right now the fighting that is taking place and as you said you know the u. N. Agency Refugee Agency has said that tens of thousands of people are on the move where are they heading to when what support do they have. So the majority of these people of remaining in areas under the old terms that instruction will be serious are going south to cities like for example. Why is this one of course is nowhere through turkey to be massacred. Is no way out into the regime areas this region and living in his hometown 2000000. 00 refugees who fled the regime and also fled just touched elsewhere in the syria and unfortunately went to iraq is also closed so even if they wanted to leave no way out. As ive mentioned this region of the syria is the only region of syria where people been able to live free of regime control free of jobs controlled in a democratic system since the very beginning of the war fortunately thats changed overnight and what was a very safe place to live suddenly because one of the most dangerous places in the world before thats like exclusion thomas here for to this as an invasion we should reiterate that the turkish government says it is not an invasion that this is a you know as kurdish as the kurdish push for autonomy out border has presented a big threat to Turkish Security this is an action it had to take at this point what do you see as the biggest danger at this point. I mean this claim is a nonsense as a result of information sent to me that i worked for this year for example we wanted to all the entire border if we saw here till now with page one instance is to kish possible the fire and not the serious costing i think over 20000000 lives it was only one instance 5 not the syrians take it so. I think its clear to the whole world there is no security straps present one of these are not the syrians never tast techie take here you see attacked at freehold target of 500 civilians its now doing the same on this border and i think all right people right thinking people see this attack for what it is or will have to leave it there Thomas Mcclure from they were job Information Center joining us from northeastern syria thank you that lets check in now on some other stories making news around the world tunisian authorities have released opposition a president ial candidate and media mogul not only from prison the move came just 4 days before the countrys president ial runoff vote we had been jailed since august on Money Laundering charges he says those charges are part of a Smear Campaign against him there could be a pathway to a braggs a deal according to a joint statement from the leaders of ireland and the u. K. Irelands premier li override car and u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson met on thursday to discuss the countrys departure in 3 weeks time the border between the u. K. And ireland has been a major barrier to a deal. Police in honduras have fired tear gas at protesters demanding the resignation of the president on orlando in memphis the protests were sparked by claims by u. S. Prosecutors they allege that the conservative president took millions in bribes from drug traffickers he denies those allegations. In ecuador one indigenous protester has died in clashes with riot police in the capital quito the violence follows days of protest against cuts to fuel subsidies and other austerity measures the government has declared a state of emergency and nearly 700 people have been arrested. Chaos on the streets antigovernment demonstrators led by indigenous groups poured into quito city center fire in fury in opposition to the governments austerity measures. Police struggle to disperse them using tear gas the city paralyzed for hours amidst the clashes. This is the fight of the people who are unhappy with the measures the government has passed we will not stop our protest until this bill is revoked if you want to know whether or. Not. Despite the anger on the streets the government isnt willing to drop its unpopular Economic Reforms but it has been embarking on a Charm Offensive its now meeting with protest leaders who represent demonstrators from the countrys poor indigenous communities. From my point of view a dialogue with Indigenous People is showing positive results we hope that it will be concluded soon to the benefit of all but no deal is in sight to end ecuadors political crisis the government has already left town and life in quito is overshadowed by the unrest. The World Coalition against the Death Penalty is holding its 17th annual day against Capital Punishment today more than 100. 00 nations have abolished the Death Penalty including south africa but calls to reinstate it there have grown louder in recent months the struggle to contain escalating violence last year 21000 people were murdered thats 58 a day on average our correspondent reports from cape town. Every month claude jones visits his sons grave jerome was just 27 when he was shot in front of his who were 3 years ago. He was june 2nd so. Killed by warring gang members in his neighborhood was this a good son eve when they was much younger i used to call him love that was my nickname for you and i used to for years over these years used to thats you and told him yeah you my love you you my own thing it will be. Some abuse on my are you still missing because up to today. This is not the one person that we ended so with. When joe was buried here his father says this part of the cemetery was still empty but since then hobley a day goes by without deadly shootings in escape flats neighborhoods the violence has been escalating for us Security Forces us travelling to keep the area under control. I didnt really see in blue jones shows us his neighborhood a young man was shot here just a few hours you had been waiting for. The Death Penalty is needed if it could this be a moment of time because theyve been trying Everything Everything everything and nothing is really happening its getting worse and worse and worse i feel sick and tired of looking like this and only the Death Penalty you can save us from this all of the mud is that it brings other. Calls for the Death Penalty im getting louder here in south africa after a recent of a false violence against women 600000 people have signed a petition asking to bring back the Death Penalty but the government so far has shown little interest in changing the laws and currently the Death Penalty is inconsistent with the constitution. Most researchers say evidence that the Death Penalty actually deters crime its inconclusive constitutional law professor peter foster this instead calling for a larger and better try. Police force and sweeping social change the Death Penalty is not a magic bullet the problem in south africa is that most cases of murder are never successfully prosecuted only about one in 10 people who commit to murder are actually sent to jail so the court said. If people dont believe theyre going to ever be caught and prosecuted the kind of sentence you get give is going to make no difference so for a practical reason they shouldnt be a Death Penalty because it doesnt make a difference of course also for the ethical moral reasons i think the state should not be in the business of killing its own citizens for any reason. But joins disagrees he wants justice for the murders of his 2 sons and he wants to live with his family without fear in his own neighborhood. Of. The nobel prize in literature has been awarded to 2 authors to hunt from austria and all that took from poland took the tricks best known novels include flights from 2007 and she was honored with last years prize and an announcement that was delayed until now that the lay was due to a Sexual Assault scandal at the Royal Swedish Academy meanwhile 2019 surprise has gone to a well known novelist playwright and translator. And we have karen help from to get your culture with us i care and how much is a surprise or at least your picture well on the one hand you know its not terribly surprising because of course both of these authors have been considered serious contenders before especially peter whos whos the elder of the 2 for many years considered one of the best writers writing in german on the other hand you know we have 2 european winners here one of whom is a man and this comes just days after anders olsen in the in the Literature Committee said that diversity was going to be a big priority that they were going to be trying to get away from their very eurocentric and male oriented past so i dont really see this as fitting the bill and therefore i do find it quite surprising the choice for this years award and when you consider that only 14 women have won the award in the history so now 15 to kartik in the history of the entire event i think 2 women might have been in order a bit more corrective this doesnt feel like embracing diversity but what about these 2 authors kind of really set them apart ok well i got to. Outstanding writers shes 57 years old and many feel that she is definitely an excellent choice shes highly acclaimed commercially very successful very in her work very innovative in the structure of her novels and she won the Man Booker International as the 1st polish author to do so just last year for for that novel flights that you mentioned she also politically very respected and a critic of her countrys right wing is she now is definitely the more controversial choice hes always been something of an awful german literature likes to be provocative. Was something of a was a defender of Slobodan Milosevic for instance back in the ninetys very controversially and has even denied that this river needs a massacre even happened so many people have distanced themselves from him very very. Difficult stance there the goalies anxiety at the penalty penalty kick was the 1st novel of his to ever be translated into english thats considered something. A modern classic his novel short letter long farewell is is definitely on the cultures list of 100 german mustard so hes hes hes somebody to definitely read and keep track of and tell us again more about this decision to hand out 2 prizes in one year ok well that was of course on the heels of the Sexual Assault scandal involving. The french husband of one of the academy members. And he was accused by a large group of women of Sexual Assault and exploitation and was subsequently convicted of rape and 20 team and is currently serving a prison sentence of 2 and a half years so hes hes away from the radar and he was a big name on swedens cultural scene and had had a club with an arts club with his wife and apparently there were some financial improprieties there as well they were benefiting from subsidies from the academy and yeah all in all a pretty sordid affair definitely shook the reputation of what was once a globally highly respected institution so i think theyve still got a fair amount of work to do to regain that reputation right karen holmes that from culture thank you so much such a. Fin sports todays world cup qualifying clash between iran and cambodia was and his stare at historic occasion iran big cambodia 14 nil but it was the victory off the pitch that made headlines women were allowed to attend the match in tehran for the 1st time in 40 years 3500 tickets were sold to women fulfilling a promise made by the iranian government after pressure from footballs world governing body fifa thats been welcomed by Many International observers and women in iran but religious hardliners in iran are voicing their dissatisfaction. With the change in iran comes inevitable friction the recent decision to begin allowing women to attend mens football matches in the Islamic Republic has provoked protest including from some of the women to whom the right to watch life has been extended. I. Ma domani it as shiite muslim women are not at all happy about this because the dignity of muslim women will not be attacked that this has a major impact on us as the dignity of muslim women can be preserved if they enter an atmosphere that is specific to men most as our you know that they get it the ban is as old as the rainy and regime but under pressure from fifo authorities have given assurances that women will be allowed to attend games starting this week with those days world cup qualifier against combos some accuse footballs governing body of meddling thats what exactly does a Foreign Organization have to interfere in the affairs of a Muslim Country anyway i just 3500 tickets were set aside for women who sections in the 78000 seats as are the stadium in tehran Iran State Run News Agency says they sold out in a matter of minutes but for really just hardliners thats 3500 tickets to many as mondays demonstration outside parliament into.

The World Population is increasing the climate is changing its getting warmer and there are going to be more and more places where you cannot grow traditional crops we have to fix this and the way to do that is to use the modern genetic modification that birds to make better crawl it is a lot safer than anything weve done by traditional kinetic modification we take one gene you know exactly what it is you put it into another plan to come out exactly where its grown i think we will be able to provide enough food for people by 25th if we can make crops that will grow and send the arid conditions this will achieve a much greater stability in the food supply that we have at the moment.
