Nazis is germany underestimating the danger from its far right extremists. Ive brought in thomas great to have you with us authorities in the philippines are warning that a volcano near the capital manila could be on the verge of a dangerous eruption the tall volcano about 60 kilometers from manila began spewing ash and lava on sunday the citys International Airport was temporarily closed tens of thousands have been forced to flee. A warning shot from tower fall kaino as it spews a column of ash and steam into the sky the ash plume generating enough static electricity to produce full cannick lightning. Although one of the philippines most active volcanoes it last erupted more than 40 years ago now experts say an eruption affecting a larger area could be just hours away the ash and steam have prompted thousands of People Living in towns close to the volcano to follow evacuation orders. Or was all the way when the volcano started blasting steam we ran away up here the road was crowded to get gas and pebbles were falling from the sky. Yeah but a little but the ash fell as far away as the capital manila some 60 kilometers north of the millis airport authorities grounded all air traffic affecting dozens of domestic and international flights. To stand up for the forces. And the tough. As travelers wait so do the people of the philippines to see what else style volcano may have in store. Ok lets get the very latest on this now a deed of use on a santoso in our gateshead a which is close to the volcanic a day to anna can you tell us whats happening where you are right now. Im about 6 miles away from the volcano which youll see behind me and since weve been here at the last couple of hours weve seen the volcano you continuously spew out clouds of volcanic ash and the clouds have been turning from white to great to sometimes black the authorities have raise the alert level to 4 out of a 5 point scale so theyre warning of a volcanic eruption i knew within hours or days so that can me in possible volcanic eruptions thats a result of you know eruptions that come into contact with water around the volcano causing flooding into the surgeon areas so right now ta volcano its really under watch and it can be very much like into of Pressure Cooker at the can explode at any time ok how many people are responding to this Pressure Cooker how many of a back you waited in the area where your forced evacuation started yesterday of and about 8 miles and people have been moved to safer ground or did i lose the connection was that would you still hear you out i lost the connection were still have you add a and though we can still hear youre just fina ok we have lost our connection lets see if we get back in this program lets move on now from target today and well keep you updated on that volcano of course now were going to iran now where protests have erupted for a 2nd day in that country after the government admitted it accidently shot down a ukrainian passenger jet killing all 176. 00 people on board in tehran thousands of demonstrators criticize the government for initially denying that it was behind the disaster protesters say changes are needed to adjust address peoples frustrations. My only a few 100 students gathered at tehrans as the square but they were met with tear gas the government moving quickly to clamp down on any protests a University Teacher appeared on a broadcaster loyal to the station to warn those organizing further demos that they would be responsible for any resulting bloodshed. But even among progovernment newspapers disappointment and anger dominated the headlines shame bridge im sorry which printed the names of all 176. 00 victims of wednesdays plane crash. But they came clean about it too late and thats whats so sad we cant accept that for 3 days they lie to us. Because theyve only told the truth now because they could no longer hide it probably because it was a ukrainian airliner. Irans parliament has agreed to an inquiry to name those responsible for shooting down the plane but for many thats little consolation for defying a heavy Police Presence demonstrators moved to other squares cross the city their numbers in the hundreds now but public anger in iran is growing. So where is this headed lets get some analysis now with Borzou DaragahiInternational Correspondent for the independent news webs. Hes been covering of these for about 2 decades now thanks for coming in for us today 1st off u. S. President donald trump has been tweeting in solidarity with the protesters we just saw there in around saying the usa is watching and dont kill the protesters is this likely to help them out and help their cos i think that Donald Trumps focus is on his domestic Political Base to get some kudos from conservatives that are that he needs to keep close to him in order to win reelection in 2020 and i dont think it has much of an impact except among some exiles who have been iranian for decades ok well what about inside around in terms of helping out the protesters do you think if it could actually motivate people to be against the protesters considering the long history of animosity around the u. S. Sure you know i think you know countries that have a kind of sordid imperial past with regard to the middle east probably dont have a lot of credibility when they talk about democracy and so on in these countries right now trump is tweeting in support of the protesters in iran but when people were protesting last year in egypt he was silent so i dont think that theres a lot of theres a lot of. Faith in his democratic aspirations even in the u. S. Where hes been accused of cracking down on the press in terms of diplomacy bores the u. S. Defense secretary marcus vs the president is willing to hold talks with iran to find a new way forward do you think thats a likely scenario. I think its something that the president would very much like hes made it clear that hes into these sorts of fat flashy photo ops a diplomatic breakthrough again focus on a domestic audience see im better than obama i got a better deal than barack obama with iran and thats really his focus you had yesterday in a historic moment the year of qatar is 1st ever visit to iran at least an official visit where he met with the Supreme Leader the president and the foreign minister im sure that he carry some messages from the u. S. As well ok Borzou Daragahi for us today thanks very much for your insights. Lets get you brief now some of the other stories making that is many of the victims on that plane crash in iran were from canada mourners across the nation have been paying tribute to the victims at a vigil in edmonton Prime Minister just unfroze said he would pursue justice and accountability for the victims families and friends with the 7 canadians many of the rain in dissent were killed in that crash. Libyas warring rivals are expected to sign a cease fire agreement later in moscow it comes after a fight is all saraj and his un backed government agreed a conditional 1st with the rebel leader general Khalifa Haftar are both signs of accused each other of violating the agreement. Rain is forecast for New South Wales the state worst affected by australias bushfire crisis Prime Minister stuff morrison has seen his popularity nosedive largely due to his handling of the crisis he said that he could have handled his response to the fires but. Ok were back in the philippines now were joined by their views on a santos again and the gate a close to that volcano which is a Pressure Cooker as you described it earlier and how are people in manila which is very close by of course dealing with this threat or are some people leaving the capital voluntarily as a precaution. No there arent many people leaving the capital of manila. As a precaution on the contrary of people were advised to stay indoors while the volcanic ash could be felt all the way from the guy or here into a volcano which is about 40 miles away in this part where im at there have been forced evacuations since yesterday and about 8000 people have been moved to Evacuation Centers or safer ground i talked to some fruit vendors here earlier and they are very much worried about their crops you know the volcanic ash has coated large swaths of pineapple fields in just grade doest and they were wishing for rain because at least that would wash away the ash but then at the same time they werent sure if that would be enough to clean the fruit of the ash contains sulfur also interestingly enough where that is a popular weekend destination for many people who want to get away from the city and the activity from tall hasnt stopped people from coming here im at a restaurant view deck and all around me there were people taking selfies in front of the volcano and i spoke to a couple earlier today they came from a neighboring town to spend their husbands birthday here so it hasnt deterred people from coming here they said it was yes scary to see this kind of a but also terrifyingly beautiful to see what nature is capable of ok well from what youre saying its sounds like people are still trying to assess exactly how this is going to affect everything from from Food Production to turn but what about the authorities what are they doing to cope with the possibility of a massive eruption and all that. Thats interesting that you say that because on the good of the philippines is not a stranger to Natural Disaster unfortunately or one of the most disaster prone areas in the world because of our location in the pacific ring of fire so we are very prepared and quite trained for you know the usual Natural Disasters that come to this area namely typhoons and earthquakes we had earthquakes to last just last month and i mean typhoons im sorry just last month or so all the Disaster Preparedness skills. Yet we can still hear you on the hello im sorry i lost the connection again ok were going to leave it there that those for us and to gardai following whats happening with that volcano that could be on the verge of eruption. Now where the government says that heavily armed jihad is have stormed the military base killing 89 soldiers their authority say the attack happened near the volatile border with mali and was carried out by assailants in vehicles and on motorbikes in december of last year 71 soldiers from there were also killed in the same region not as was claimed by socalled islamic state. Well here in germany in recent months local politicians have become the victims of a rising tide of intimidation theyve had to endure hate mail physical attacks and Death Threats and its threats from the far right that are causing a special concern now a quarter of all german mares have reported being insulted or threatened and physical attacks have been carried out on about 2 percent of mares or their Staff Members now the number of n reported cases wall thats thought to be even higher in 2015 there was an assassination attempt for example on the mare of cologne henrietta records she was attacked with a large knife by a right wing scream extremist during an Election Campaign or record spoken out in support of migrants and their rights in cologne 2 years later another progress e. G. Politician involved look there he was shot dead in front of his house that was in the state of has now in the United States famous confessed to that murder these incidents are having an effect some errors are leaving Public Office one is arent falk the mare of a small town and lower saxony who says he quit to protect his family. As a quiet village in northern germany about 1700 people live here the next big city is an hours drive away over the last few days many people in germany have been curious about whats going on and off because of the news that rocked the town right before new years eve may announce he was resigning because of Death Threats from right wing extremists. Would order done in fine if. Not 2 nights in a row i received notes in my mailbox one said to be you know to go to your goal. You might think that maybe it was meant for someone else but it wasnt funny it was horrible i dont know but the 2nd one was worse were going to guess you got the ante for the day on the phone. Right after christmas a number perpetrators vandalized his car window with a swastika he decided to step down from office in order to protect himself and his 14 year old son. I know that. I dont want him to have this politicized mayor dead but i want to protect him but also the office of mayor i dont want it to be politically tainted because the folk are was mayor as stuff for 8 years even before that he was socially active for example he was a soccer coach for the local club in charge of young players. The 1st criticism from the right came in 2016 when a refugee family moved to town right above the sports clubs clubhouse. Soon thereafter there were right wing extremist stickers all over the Playing Field their message this year is a nazi zone many people in the village were shocked by his resignation work with the local council the news came as a surprise to him. Because. We all think its not good we are the losers in this story we are all very sad. And focus states very clearly that the villages as stuff does not have a nazi problem there are a few extreme rightwing people in the community but he says the problem lies deeper in society itself. Is a catastrophe the problem is that people suddenly can say out loud what they wouldnt even have to think 5 years ago and thats not only in the supposedly left behind eastern germany apparently people here also he left behind. The focal case is now being investigated by German Authorities but doesnt want to give up even though hes no longer mayor he wants to keep fighting the far right. Those talk about those more now with our Political Correspondent michael yon akasha in the studio good morning michael you know. Weve seen right wing stream is a groups publishing names and addresses of course undesirable politicians and journalists on the internet have we been under estimating the potential danger well 30 certainly have been underestimating this danger weve seen the shocking killing off to look good last year local politician in the state of heskey just been ripped furring to and yeah this is something that has been on the rise the last couple of years ive seen the stats so look a petition not only mayors but any kind of likes Community Council members have been threatening move more in germany so now currently estimates are that 40 percent of community politicians any kind of political have been threatened and of service by authorities show that in almost one out of 10 of these local communities there has been also incidents of physical violence against leticia and 40 percent have been threatened that were like this this includes a reef see now the case of a mayor of a small town but this also includes for example representatives in. Councils in local communities people who are engaged in any kind of flow click to vittie so this is something that anybody whos trying to be engaged and this is especially referring to engagement to its refugee help integration help that these are now being at the aim of especially far right extremist if you were the threat coming from is from individuals from groups to civic organizations do you know anything about that so the investigations that have been conducted in these incidents so far suggests that often these are these threats are coming from groups or networks sometimes these threats are even signed by. Senders that suggest that they are part of an effort for example referring to the National Socialist underground 2. 00 so the national. This underground was a group of me and aussies in the last decade response bait responsible and. At mrs full x. 7 killings in a christian me in tears germany seen anything like this before this level of intimidation and threat of local politicians and as you said Community Workers dealing with specific issues in the modern federal public of germany this level of threatening like this. Country wide phenomenon is unprecedented we can say that there have always been cases of politicians being at the cross fire off the public are there been violent incidents before if you look for example at the history in the 1970 s. Left wing terrorism by the faction but this is different this is something that is widespread this is something that is coming from an underground network and this is something that is very distant fueled by hate that is spreading in social networks you have to say the Red Army Faction actually engaged in assassinations versus very specifically in the seventys. One local politician as a result of all this as applied for a license to carry a concealed weapon a concealed handgun is very rare in germany and the bars in the United States say in response to the threats that hes getting what can be done to protect especially lower profile local politicians from attacks so they all have to start getting concealed weapons licenses now you know of course this is not the solution for this issue and the representatives of the Community Councils and mayors a christian many have been calling for the federal government and for federal authorities to step up now we see in germany not only for those who are representatives of communities or governments but also for any individuals who are the victims of hate speeds all threats in social networks that there is not enough done by authorities that the. Nor that is currently or the legal system thats currently provided in germany is. A death as to these new challenges and that the authorities the investigative authorities havent been able to deal with it yet properly and this is something that needs to be stepped up ok so there are calls then for a tightening of the net story thats a long word its a very very tight one of europes tightest restriction on social media for examples are there are calls now to to tighten that up even more here is the those laws for example theyre very much in the regards to how social networks can help with the investigation or how to kind of inhibits how to kind of fight hate speech within the networks its not so much about the prosecution thats something that needs to be stepped up by German Authorities actually our thanks so much for coming in on this forster we have some sports out of tennis Novak Djokovic helped serbia win the inaugural a.
