Bank. Hello and welcome i love the thought she must so glad you could join us. The eaves being slammed for its treatment of migrants an Asylum Seeker as a new Human Rights Watch report highlights europes efforts to prevent fresh arrivals in two thousand and seventeen and it criticizes the union force reliance of non e. U. Countries to stem the flow of people. Now the number of micro arrivals by sea was down in two thousand and seventeen by a round fifty percent as you can see but the report says the mediterranean remain deadly nearly three thousand people were reported dead or missing towards the end of last year Human Rights Watch says the Member States who took in the largest number of arrivals was shunned by the remainder of the union as a whole. Seekers will return to italy and to greece under socalled dublin regulation which states of the fullest e. U. Country of entry must take over all responsibility for arrival in the summer two thousand and seventeen germany officially suspend its entre terms and a number of other e. U. States followed suit kenneth roth is the executive director of Human Rights Watch he lost the world report two thousand and eighteen in paris emphasizing that the rise of populism was to blame for many Human Rights Violations take a listen. Very much a response to. Grievances that people had they felt left behind economically they were complaining about economic inequality many people like the cultural shifts associated with migration some people fear terrorism and what the authoritarian populists did is take. Is to say its the migrants who are thought to see Asylum Seekers its the refugees and that effort to sort. Of. Poor people. And. The rise of the populist. Now for more on the story im joined the studio by events because hes a director of Human Rights Watch here in germany welcome and soon as we heard from the executive director that you know the rise of populist leaders and governments in many past the one has made them hostile to human drives and led to human rights my nations how is this impacted the e. U. And European Countries where we see for example that we have were missing very important allies like the u. K. The u. K. Is very busy with brets that and is not anymore existent in the title for a meaningful human rights oriented Foreign Policy we lost a very Strong Partner but for example we see the countries that are tending towards right wing or nativist populism like poland like hungary and who would not criticize any or for each area regimes and dont lets take a look at germany specifically we have some figures mentioned video report now one of them is that one hundred forty attacks on Asylum Seekers shelters took place that on six hundred forty attacks on refugees and Asylum Seekers outside their accommodation is populism to blame for these attacks sure the. Terrible words that populist use the butts of hate of course they. Sometimes transfigured into violence and this isnt a direct result of the hateful speech that we see increasingly by right wing populists on another element of germany allows electronic tagging and restriction of the movement of people viewed as a National Security risk but people who dont actually committed any crime how does your Organization View this practice we criticize this because according to the rule of law somebody has to be found guilty first before they can be any preventive measure us. Like prison or electronic tracking so we disagree very much with us and what about your reports has suggested they have been a huge setback in Human Rights Violations in a turkey what are your findings we see a crackdown on oppositional politicians on kurdish politicians on the media on anybody who wants to express their free opinion and we see a very worrying deterioration of human rights situation in turkey so lot of reasons for concern in your latest Human Rights Watch report is there any area that you think progress has been made yes this funnily enough in africa quite a lot because there was a move by the south African Republic to abolish the i. C. C. But a lot of especially western african countries have supported the i. C. C. And that could be prevented right victory and in the office not very efficient i mean is there any kind of idea as to a certain countries or certain governments more prone to Human Rights Violations what factors in common with countries where they are Human Rights Violations it is this nativist populist that we see spreading all over the world and all the oppressive regimes are actually populist systems and i guess again a more about europe and finally and with europe since you are a country director of Human Rights Watch here in germany what kind if it. Is do you think specially to deal with refugees what kind of alternatives are there in europe to deal with this whole refugee problem many people are really worried about the fact that he outsourced a lot of its problems by putting the focus on countries beyond the borders off the e. U. Like libya and turkey if you outsource this. The problem as you say. Europe has to make sure that human rights are respected and actually exist and we can see at the moment that if you cooperate with countries like libya that theres any human rights respecting approach to this what we need here in europe much better distribution and we need agreements with other countries outside the e. U. To look after refugees much better than they do we have to help with Meaningful Development eight to prevent further deaths in the sea by refugees. The director of Human Rights Watch in germany thank you very much for your insights and talking to us on the deadly of your.

Youre watching the devil news coming to you live from london coming up ahead u. S. President donald trump announces what he calls the fake news awards find out which news organizations hes got inside. Joining me now is bent the sooner then and boss must be on cloud nine future of its a three eighty was looking very shaky up until now Emirates Airlines has announced it will buy twenty eight three eighty super jumbos from a bus with an option to purchase sixteen more the deal is worth sixteen billion dollars and comes as a big relief for the european aircraft maker earlier this week. At the program would have to be discontinued if a deal with to buy based emirates didnt happen soon but the largest passenger plane in the world is proving to be too big for many carriers turning it bounces proudest project into a nightmare for the company. Because the whole always has one eye on the sector but i bet these deals got your full attention it does indeed this deal gives airbus flagship product a lifeline one of the most visible visible Industrial Projects that europe has even overseas and i mean you said it there has been. Have been fears that a production line would have been discontinued without this deal even maybe even earlier than that and then twenty twenty four why was that because we were talking about a deal being done weeks ago and im sure it was then suddenly backing out and now this change of heart it is all very confusing. There have been weeks of tough negotiations from what i hear and there has been no specific reason given why why there has been this change of heart i mean we have to see the deal is officially worth sixteen billion dollars now rebates in that category are very common so i would assume that the price tag is much less hefty than what somebody would think here and also air bus or rather emirates had said. The engines of the three eighty needed to be more fuel efficient and now airbus has agreed to say ok well look into a new engine option here because because Profit Margins in the Airline Sector are so thin and then youve got to think about the profitability of these giants that youre putting into the show youre getting more passengers more people on buying tickets more bums on seats but if the fuel is going away those margins than maintaining a twin engine aircraft is always more efficient than having to maintain a four engine aircraft as trip can you tell me then why its so reliant on emirates its basically its so customer yeah that is true of the a three hundred forty three a v indeed well the a three eighty has been built for a market that we have to understand has not come into existence yet the idea by airbus was we make this plane this gigantic plane transporting a lot of people from one busy airport to another one where slots are at a premium but that didnt really come to into existence instead. Airlines have resorted to flying people from secondary inbetween secondary airports that way making travel easier for four passengers even at the expense of seats you know transporting less people but again in planes that are smaller the easier to maintain and easier to operate now Emirates Network is basically built on these large hogs. That that that is service but the network of other airlines most other airlines looks much different so youd say it still fits emirates portfolio basically all the way it does business it does it does but as you mentioned emirates is the biggest customer they have been about two hundred forty plus three delivered more than one hundred of those two to emirates and being the biggest customer obviously gives emirates a lot of power of ability to apply pressure here and this is also a big plus for airbus it says shooting up to record highs today thats right as we heard that the program being able to be continued at least ten years and that gives error bars a timeframe hoping for a market which hasnt caught on the Chinese Market opening that. Is an operation for only you know minimum margins in china by then well make it to china first of all the thank you. Apples been stashing cash of broad for years now to avoid high Corporate Tax rates at home but us president Donald Trumps change that now the tech giants bringing back that money to invest in the United States and save big time on taxes. It could be one of the biggest money transfers in the world take giant apple is moving two hundred fifty two billion dollars from abroad to the u. S. The company is set to face a tax bill of a whopping thirty eight billion dollars sounds like a lot but apple is actually saving money on the transaction a year ago it would have had to pay more than double that amount. Apple c. E. O. Tim cook says the company is proud to build on its long history of support for the u. S. Economy. Now the i phone makers planning investments worth billions in the u. S. It will build a new campus and hopes to create twenty thousand jobs. Most of the money apple is moving comes from ireland where Corporate Tax rates are even lower but efforts by the e. U. To harmonize Corporate Taxes across the bloc have made the situation uncertain so a recent reduction of u. S. Corporate taxes from thirty five to twenty one percent as more attractive. Moebius to come including a nice chinese surprise for economists and. A media thank you ben turning of the United States after weeks of hype about a possible fake news of once event u. S. President doesnt trump is falling to ten top examples of news stories in two thousand and seventeen that he says well intentioned in the wrong now im veiled a well its vic you guessed it a tweet it provided a link to a Republican Party website that listed ten cases in which major American News sources reported stories that were later retracted over stillest says were incorrect c. N. N. Qualified for four mentions followed by two for the New York Times despite some of trumps initial statements it was not immediately clear who had drawn up this list. As you can imagine social media reaction to these awards once again highlighted the deep full arise ition in the u. S.
