Storming the stasi east Germany Secret Police were feared and hated today not just 36 bytes activists forced their way into the stasi headquarters a nice balance prevented the destruction of millions of files as the common mistakes come 1st. But. Im for gail welcome to the program. The race to decide which democrat will challenge donald trump for the u. S. Presidency is heating up full of Vice President joe biden and senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are amongst the top 6 candidates who took part of the t. V. Debate on tuesday night it was the last debate before the democratic primary season begins in iowa in 3 weeks and polls suggest the race will be tight. A last chance for 6 remaining candidates to make their case before the democratic primaries begin and the candidates use their chance to attack President Trump on his Foreign Policy decisions and right now what i fear very much is we have a president who is lying again and could drag us into a war that is even worse than the war in iraq trump offered his own counter programming at a rally in milwaukee in battleground state wisconsin he defended his decision to kill soleimani. Saw a man who was responsible for murdering and wounded thousands of americans it was actively planning new attacks but we stopped them cold was. Frankly they already started the attack as you saw in baghdad or the very large embassy in baghdad that was already started you know a moment to remember was a standoff between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren warren accused sanders to have said a woman could not be elected president of the United States look at the man on this stage collectively they have lost 10 elections the only people on this stage who have won every single election that theyve been in are the women but Bernie Sanders rejected the allegation the real winner did not emerge good news for joe biden who avoided a blunder this time and that could consolidate his position as the front runner of the Democratic Party. Lets get more on this from doris foreman who is professor of politics at bach to college here in atlanta and welcome to the studio professor how do you think had the best of last nights debate its hard to tell i mean this has been the 7th debate so people are aware of it the voting the viewership has gone dont over time so we dont even know whether it will have much of an impact. The way that its been discussed is that biden did well in knots as we just saw having any any blunders there was a rift that many saw between war and and senators but i think the real default lines of the arguments lie elsewhere and its mostly a question of whether the Democratic Party wants to return to a status quo and to so with the Party Establishment line of Hillary Clinton which would be bidens line or if it wants to take a new direction and i think this is what the caucuses and the primaries will be mostly about and of course with the last couple of weeks weve seen iraq events in iran build up the debate opened on Foreign Policy what to be about the candidates positions well again i mean this is interesting because the Foreign Policy normally is not a very important issue in american politics it tends to be discussed at the very end so there was a bit of a shift here but we didnt learn a lot of new things the positions of the different candidates the candidates were relatively ambivalent most of them emphasized were going to do it differently from trump but the proposal its been remade relatively vague. This is the last t. V. Debate before the start of the primary season so how significant are the Iowa Caucuses and who the polls suggest will win well the polls right now look as those sent sanders is leading in the polls for the i walk caucus its important symbolically mostly because obviously there will be a lot of caucuses and primaries all the way into the summer and the decisions in iowa arent arent final but it is the 1st. First encounter of 1st real encounter with the candidates and their chances so whatever it takes iowa has at least a lead in the beginning money is just speaks loudly in these elections in the body count Sanders Campaign says it raised 1700000. 00 yesterday from a 100000. 00 donations that best fundraising day since the campaign was launched. We can confirm this figure but if its true what does this tell us well its surprising 1st of all because hes one of the oldest candidates in the field he had a heart attack so that people would bet for him and put money into his comparing is a signal its important in american politics its very expensive to even become a president ial candidate so the money really doesnt matter and many of the candidates the dropped out of the race cory booker and and others come out of harris dropped out because they ran out of funds so it is very important for the centrist campaign thats also some bollix sign ok and briefly much is being made of Elizabeth Warrens apparent refusal to shake but he signed this hand what do you make of that i think in 2 weeks time nobody really remember. About his former professor of politics at bard college at bennett thank you. After 18 months of damaging economic conflict the United States and china due to sign what they say is phase one of a trade agreement that would see the u. S. Ease some sanctions against china head of signing in washington the u. S. Has agreed to stop labeling on china as a currency manipulator for its spot beijing will increase its purchases of us from products manufactured goods like craft and services economists said describing the deal as modest but that all hopes it will prevent further escalation of a conflict that has slowed Global Economic growth hurt u. S. Exporters and white on the chinese economy. Clifford could and from d. W. Business can lay this all out for us our welcome cliff some details have emerged china committed to buying energy Agricultural Products an 80000000000 dollars more of us manufactured goods doesnt look workable i think it looks workable but i think a big factor is going to be how this unfolds were going to have to see how that gets in force for example china has committed according to the americans john has committed to buy a lot of these products and this is going to be a question of whether they actually do and if if for example they dont buy enough in one sector what will the americans do then so i think thats going to be the big question isnt force means ok does this deal what we know if it does does there look to be a big winner in this i think youd probably have to say the americans you know there are if you look at the body language of you know her to the chinese negotiator the way its been sort of presented in china in a very low key way i mean the signing is going to be in the middle of the night in china for example so this is you know i dont think it i think america youd have to say has been the big winner so what does china get out of this well i think what theyve theyve always theyve always had most to lose and i think because of the fact that the uncertainty has really hit them the tower of severely hit their products. Their economy just business develop. So they were coming from a weaker position i think what this gives them now is certainty and it gives them it gives them a position from which they can start to rebuild the economy Economic Growth has slowed quite a lot and in china now they have a position where they can say weve resolved this issue which was a huge issue and we can start moving forward with with growth. These 2 economic superpowers they do this deal how do the rest of us benefit if at all well i think the single biggest factor in creating Global Economic turbulence in the last 18 months has been this trade war i mean how many times have we discussed the ups and downs of it over the last year or so so i think what happens is the markets get certainty and that will benefit us all benefits benefit us all in europe for example we you know weve also been looking at whats going to happen there in terms of how china is going to behave with europe and and also have us is going to behave with europe so i think what it does is it creates a kind of a basis again on which markets have certainty and this is one variable that people dont have to worry about on top of the other aspects that are affecting and roiling the markets and the Global Economy but some sanctions do remain and the stillest huge issue of huawei yeah huawei is still is still a major issue at the sanctions are still in place and often be very face too they say so were looking towards how that will unfold which while way theres rumors today in the Financial Markets were affected by this saying that the huawei might not actually that they might actually tighten conditions again for a while way and so this major issue for the chinese may not yet be resolved and theres been no confirmation either way whether this is going to happen but its been a factor in the Financial Markets. And you know the u. S. Has had an awful lot of things about huawei security aspects its put pressure on governments like the German Government for example about what was securities so i think. That story isnt going away yet either actually recruited from the daily business thank you. 3 now well take a brief look at some of the other stories making news around the world britain france and germany have formally accused iran of violating the terms of the 2015 agreement to curb its Nuclear Program e.

First to the philippines right tens of thousands of people are still fleeing the erupting volcano and as you can see here many of the villages in the surrounding region are still covered by layers of ash wealth or just a warning that a massive eruption could happen at any time the volcano is about 70 kilometers south of the capital manila in the middle of a lake it started to expel ash on sunday. Well rescue teams are working around the clock to get people to safety the top lose im a son tossed a joint one of the missions. Clouds of ash covered this road in baton guess region but still the rescuers press on. Determined to drive those trapped in this bold cannick danger zone to safety.

Although these filipinos dont live on the volcanic island they are still in danger of ashfall and the likelihood of more russians are making evacuations here mandatory. Others like claire and her sisters are choosing to get out they can log on and be paid money we decided to evacuate today because we had that things may get worse with the whole cane or the safest thing to do is to leave me some areas are too difficult to reach by truck so these rescuers use motorbikes to collect the locals it doesnt matter how they find them they simply know they have to get people out of this region as quickly as possible. Youre watching t. V. News live from still to come. The fight to save the files we hear from one of the activists from the headquarters of the communist east germany is feared secret police. 30 years ago today. Russian president Vladimir Putin has used his address to parliament to propose a series of constitutional changes he said he would tighten the criteria for anyone seeking to become president by excluding you all citizens amongst other things he went on to say that he wanted to give parliament the right to choose the countrys Prime Minister and he said he wanted the changes to be put to the russian people which. Considering that the proposed innovations relate to significant changes in the political system the activities of the executive legislative and judicial branches i consider it necessary to conduct a vote by the countrys citizens on an entire package of proposed amendments to the countrys constitution. Straight to moscow that would join t. W. Correspondent emily show welcome emily what else did we hear from president person. Well prison proposed a huge range of constitutional changes which would give the main point was that they would give more power to essentially elected institutions to the upper and lower houses of parliament for example before the president proposed to the Prime Minister and the cabinet to the duma the lower house of parliament and then the duma accepted that usually and now its going to be the other way around so the duma will propose the Prime Minister and the cabinet of ministers and when it comes to the upper house of parliament they will suggest changes to the president on the judiciary and on the judiciary if its seen s. As necessary and on the Security Services he also proposes giving more power to the state council which is made up of Regional Governors putin emphasized that russia wont be changing to a parliamentary republic it will still be a president ial system but it does seem that the parliament both houses of the parliament will get more power under these proposed changes so with. This referendum i think there were other things in there that seem to suggest that mr putin was extending russias democracy. Well essentially yes i mean hes proposing giving more power to elected institutions hes also proposing kind of decentralising the system by giving more power to those Regional Governors as i just mentioned he also talked all throughout the this address about the importance of giving people the power back to the people essentially and for people to have a sense of justice and also a sense that there are there is a desire for change among people he emphasized that all throughout he didnt actually mention the word referendum but he did propose a vote so well have to see what shape that vote will take so hes president ial to i think im sincere or years do people expect him to just take his pension and then disappear to go watch daytime television. Whoa whoa sensually we dont know as you rightly mentioned his term ends in 2024 in the sense essential since his this last term. This last president ial term of his began in 2018 people have been discussing whats going to happen next because according to the constitution he cant be president again hes been president for 2 terms in a row now and so he would have to take on some other role but we dont know what that role within the system will be he could take on the role of pm he could take on some kind of role within the parliament or even within the state council but its clear that he even though hes not making any decisions about his own future or hasnt mentioned them at least he certainly paving the way for that transition in 2024 or. So into. Most of the days are world news sent to australia 1st where people in the city of melbourne are breathing a bit more easily after a heavy rain some storm and storms swept over a part of the state of victoria much of the region had been shrouded in haze from weeks of wildfires. Dozens of people in the United States are being treated for minor skin and lung problems after a passenger plane dump fuel or for several schools line it was making an emergency return to los angeles airport after experiencing mechanical issues the federal Aviation Authority is investigating. Police in italy say they have broken up a large mafia operation that have been defrauding the European Union over 200 people were arrested in Early Morning raids in sicily italian media say the group of stolen around 10000000 euros intended for farms 30 years ago today people in east germany stormed the headquarters of the country secret police none of the stasi just weeks after the fall of the berlin wall they feared officials would try to destroy the millions of files they kept on most of the citizens of the communist regime and german president trying both assured im not a visit the home stasi headquarters in berlin to mark the anniversary you praised Public Access to the stasi files as a democratic act that allowed people to look inside a dictatorship as in china have also vowed to do his part to keep the archives open to the public. W. Politics reporter next in the bionic caution has been looking into this at welcome back so many of. The stars it was one of the biggest secret Police Forces that in the world give us an idea of how they shaped each German Society is this look at the idea of how big this apparatus was to understand how much of an impact it had for the east and jim society so 90000 officials have been working as part of the stasi another 170000 informal wackos who have been like spying on their neighbors and that even their families have been part of the stasi group and then of course 250000 people have been imprisoned by the last of the stasi not mentioning those who has been intimidated or otherwise being restricted through the walk office doesnt ok stay with us because that is a say 30 years ago activists prevented this direction of those surveillance files and one of them one of the people who took part hes been telling us what happened he was there both going templi mean a former east german civil rights campaigner 30 years ago he and other demonstrators pushed their way into east germany stars the headquarters its still the resting place of thousands of files on citizens who were spied on. So if theres hope yet i said so you know what we want this peaceful disarmament our actual takeover of the whole thing will happen a lot faster theres no. Was open the gate the storming of no man in street was a key moment after the buildings and other cities had already been occupied in the proceeding months several 1000 people now poured into the berlin headquarters was the 1st as the workers tried to destroy files up until the very last minute but the activists were able to rescue most of those files. But the fight to save the files was far from one that took a Hunger Strike extreme effort on our part to convince west german elites politicians and those who wanted to keep a lid on this for various reasons and so. After all nobody knew exect li how sensitive the information that hes germanys state security had collected was in the end the files were made accessible to the public templin applied to see his own. It was certainly a unique experience i was part of the 1st group that got to see the files in 1930. 9 u. S. An opposition figure it was highly unlikely that a very comprehensive file a whited me it was very thorough but there was also one from the 1st half of the 1970s that was classified as a pup the try to file. For 2 years template himself was an unofficial stasi informant he ultimately quit and got involved with civil Rights Groups later he was arrested and kicked out of east germany. After the fall of the berlin wall he returned and took part in the negotiations to dissolve the stasi but he still struggling to cope with what happened to this day. A lot of people say yeah well it was so long ago why bother. If we think about the nazi era and im not saying that the same just comparing that to it took decades to process the monstrous things that happened back then. The stasi files will be transferred to the National Archives from 20 to 21 as long as they remain easily accessible to ordinary people templin has no problem with that. So much really on a culture which 30 years on those files are still a sensitive and emotional issue yes because as we heard and as for its like something that has impacted the life the work of the stars has impacted life so many people in the former east germany and of course they like it affected how you thought about things what you were able to say who you said things to like were you able to trust your neighbors your friends in regards to this or where they informants and of course it also affects careers of people so for example still today if you are wanting to become an official for the German Government you can be investigated if you have been involved in the stasi even 30 years later and the same people who have been in for with the stasi can still be discovered today and that of course reflects on how these people seem even if they were coerced to work with the stasi and so the way that germany has handled these files opening them up to the public is not in any way seen as a template for other countries who are trying to come to terms with their own experiences of police state i think its very unique so far in the sense that of course germany was at the forefront of dealing with this issue and like taking also in a lot of different parts of the German Society dedicating institutions dedicating research to educating parts of the government to this issue up to the parliament and of course other countries have been looking to this person trying to gain from the experience but i think as we see this is always something that is very individual for each country and that is the essence learns but theres also a critic that for some but generally still needs to address theres a lot of criticism for the fact that these are another coming part of the National Archives and as weve had there is worry that these files therefore will not be to public as much anymore and that there wont be treated with the same care and sensitivity in sums of recession in terms of protection of these funds kasich thank you.
