Law theres actually a 2nd bail which also and this is interesting to note it binds with military weapons actually being exported to the police in hong kong and why do the president s side of this.

You to that tense atmosphere in the city they do not want to show their face and ask us not to reveal their area names but will say they have not joined any protests since the peaceful marches in june but that does not save them from the effect. The mood is up then youre when they fire tear gas i close all the windows in the doors but i can still smell it and feel uncomfortable the whole shebang. Since june the police have fired more than 10000. 00 canisters of tear gas chemical irritant but mainly affects the ice lungs and the skin its use is prohibited as a chemical weapon in warfare the louden riot control although its effects are meant to be temporary to have been case reports of chronic eye diseases caused by the chemical.

Now the son of a former german diplomat is been in prison in the United States since 990. 00 serving was convicted of the murder of his girlfriends parents though he initially admitted his guilty than retracted his confession and insisted he was innocent despite this he was given 2 life sentences 30 years later hes being released and deported back to germany. This is the state prison in virginia where young serving has been held since 1901 he was found guilty of 2 counts of 1st degree murder. This what it is from an interview searing repeatedly requested a pardon but to no avail a former state governor wanted to send him to germany to serve out his sentence but his successor disagreed the german ambassador in washington has welcomed the impending release of serving on parole. More to have he too cynical to hear the relevant authorities granted mr in parole on monday he has spent many decades almost 3 decades in prison we have always sought to have him released and a very pleased that this goal has now been achieved that song has its roots in safe c. D. s i thought it best in 1905 derek and nancy hasan was stabbed to death at their home in virginia they were the parents of servings then girlfriend elizabeth. The 2 fled to england when they became suspects they were caught in london and sent back at 1st soaring confessed to the crime but he later retracted his confession he said he had wanted to protect his girlfriend and thought that as the son of a german diplomat he enjoyed immunity from prosecution at his trial he insisted he was not the culprit. Im innocent. The conviction proved controversial the evidence was circumstantial experts including sheriff to parting to a turing was wrongfully convicted later d. N. A. Analysis failed to link him to the scene of the crime hes been locked up for 33 years. That myself another investigators dont feel like he was there we dont feel like he was present when the actual murders were committed as hes maintained you know since he went on trial. Hes missed his twentys his thirtys and his fortys so its. Going. To teach a new parole board has called taste and springs conduct in prison exemplary and said they had served more time to move to be usual under todays know. Governor Ralph Northam has made it clear that he is not pardoning inserting and elizabeth pace and he is merely provoke them on the boards recommendation. In a 2016 documentary the promise searching again and says it is innocence and said he considered himself the victim of his former girlfriend looked like and. As if hes a looking back because i know that i never knew this woman. And most of the story she told me were not true i dont know who the real elizabeth was. The films codirector Marcus Fetzer is pleased ziering is being set trying. This thing for me is that the trials the circumstances the conviction put on not beyond a shadow of a doubt and if there are too many Unanswered Questions as is keep so if you define its. Storing is soon to be deported to germany the date has not been announced. I speak with. A documentary filmmaking you just saw not support welcome to day w. Youve become quite familiar with it yet so what sort of person is he. Oh hes hes a kind of nerd i think or he was a nerd when he was a young fellow he was 18 and he was not an eye level really with Elizabeth Hayes and i think and what happened with him that he tried to become an eye level had to get an eye level with her she was much more pretty them him in a certain way much more mature and and i think there was also this sexual abuse coming on which she told him about what i think that finally he said that hes going to take the blame on him because he was not an eye level with her i think is so you believe his innocence i dont know really if hes innocent and i think there were a lot of questions in the in the trial and everything nobody knows what really happened but but i think from a for him a personal point of view i was watching all the trial food and everything there were so many doubts in that case that after serving such a long time in prison i think its time to to revise the whole thing thats why i am very happy that that the decision by the burl board was made that he can go home very soon and this was a massive case here in germany attracted a lot of publicity. Oh yes right no i mean my phone was not stopping to ring i mean everybody is reporting about it because it is for us for us german is it is really bizarre that. Someone like in syria he was convicted when he was very very young i think it was 1920 that he has to serve such a long time in prison if and when the whole thing is not beyond a reasonable doubt and thats why the interest of getting me back to germany is very high and there was this incident in 2009 when he was already powered on and then the whole thing was revoked which. Which then coming back to my co director she is a very important journalist in germany she was writing since since then about it. And so how did he deal with the jail time crimes that he claims that he didnt commit. I mean i think he was he was doing exercises every day he had a time when he was meditating a lot he was writing a lot of books i think he wrote alone 10 books about about how it is being in prison how it is to overcome such circumstances and i think hes a fellow who was who was trying to get. Involved with with his mates in prison and he was never aggressive actually in prison so he conducted very well and i think thats also why a lot of his supporters are saying are claiming that he cant be the culprit the murderer because he never reacted aggressively in prison. So how does he now go about preparing to return to society has been 30 years since he was out of the world has moved on we have the internet mobile phones thats going to be a big adjustment isnt it. Oh yes that is a big adjustment i mean we current time being i mean we would love actually to to film that to be with him filming when he comes into this new life actually its of course the world has has moved on i mean the last time hes had. He had already dreams when he was about to be released which were then of course destroyed i dont know which dreams he has now but but i think hes young enough to to be able now to have a life and i think he has a lot of friends all over the world or supporters who would help him so i think its its great that hes coming back and i hope it will be before christmas so i you know out looking at making an update of your documentary oh i would love to if he is ready to i would love to but of course its totally up to him i mean its his life right now we would of course the company him because its the camera always can can give a hand as well and i think its very interesting how it is to come back into a life yes i would love to but its totally up to him good talking to you thanks for joining us Marcus Vetter thank you.
