It at the heart of an Election Campaign in the german state of brandenburg where its a major employer look at how the far right if tea party is writing to keep the industry going against government plans to shut it down. Social media platform stritch and facebook of shut down accounts dog eating the prodemocracy movement in hong kong the platforms said the accounts were part of a Chinese Government just Information Campaign aimed at groups and individuals facebook has closed a number of accounts some of the images posted showed protesters as terrorists and cockroaches twitter has suspended over 200000 accounts and plans to ban. An advertisement from state run media. Now boasts on social media platforms on just one part of beijings propaganda offensive state john t. V. Is also playing a role as we hear in our next report. This is the scene on the border of hong kong 600 illuminated drones hover in the night sky i love hong kong and i love china is their message the mainland urging calm and restraint. But state media is sending another more chilling message as well the evening news presenter says the protesters are plunging hong kong into chaos shes the huntington do you think. The demonstrators are like you retro things they have angered the people and the powerful in heaven he us. Chinese state media feeds the viewers an endless stream of the same images of violence theres no coverage of peaceful mass protests. Demonstrators are equated with terrorists controlled by foreign powers and here to prove it is the us flag. To demonstrate as a very young its very sad that they are being led astray i mean that to myself. The official narrative features a hero standing up to chaos from go on how a journalist for Chinese State media who was bound and beaten by anti beijing protesters at hong kong airport to his fate went viral on state controlled social media presented as an assault on all of chinas 1400000000 citizens. Ill put your father to demonstrate just say they are defending human rights that they deny journalists my rights and soviet ports i give a journalist a big films look for the courage he showed. We got into official media has also focused on protesters actions seen as highly unpatriotic this clip of demonstrators throwing the chinese flag into hong kong harbor triggered outrage on social media an outpouring of patriotic fervor from chinese citizens branding hong kongs prodemocracy movement an attack on their national pride. It is a great honor for me to be part of the 1400000000 defenders of our flag and i will do my best to ensure it is always respected. An airborne light show isnt the only spectacle at the border the paramilitary Peoples Armed police have also been Holding Drills this week a show of force to back up the media messaging. Correspondent sean it shows the bill is in hong kong covering protests that were shot to strong propaganda offensive by beijing what is the Strategic Thinking and is it likely to work. Well from what weve seen of some of this propaganda across social media their goal is to triumph or trade this movement in its violence light as possible as was mentioned on the report Chinese StateMedia Release brung on that incident a week ago today the protesters was seen behaving extremely violently the president says that had to apologize for that afterwards but what this propaganda is trying to do is offer a very different narrative to the one that has been coming from the protest movement in hong kong theyre trying to counter the images that weve seen on sunday for example of hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully on the streets now a lot of the protesters here have become wise to this social Media Campaign which has been going on for weeks they are adapting that tactics accordingly what we really saw on sunday was protest is determined united in their goal to stay as peaceful as possible one protester said to us he was aware of some of the images circling on social media or protests and violence they needed to send a different message that theyd essentially didnt want to feed this chinese propaganda apparatus anymore so what were seeing is the protesters being creative and reduction a strategy so from what you say is this of having the Chinese Propaganda Campaign is having any kind of impact on the protesters and support for their movement. Well its very hard to judge what we must point out is that there have been a number of probation. Dorothys Police Protests here in hong kong in recent weeks there was one over the weekend but they simply havent attracted the same numbers as the number of. Democracy protests that weve seen the one on sunday organizers say attracted 1700000 people now a lot of what the protest is telling us is that they. Becoming used to this is strategy from beijing they say thats one of the key reasons that they want particularly concerned about the possibility of any Chinese Forces imminently being on the streets in hong kong they say a lot has changed since 989 when beijing sent in troops to quell on reskilling some say thousands of people in Tiananmen Square protesters here tell us china simply moved on from that tactic its got more sophisticated ways of trying to quell unrest change the narrative and thats exactly what these protesters are trying to counter sean children bill in hong kong thank you very much. In a year when places of worship across the globe seem to have become particular targets of terrorist attacks the rules biggest Interfaith Assembly is meeting in southern germany the 900. 00 representatives from many religions are debating this socio political responsibilities in society and in politics with special emphasis on the rule of women in bringing about peace president from time my of germany delivered assemblies keynote address. Reporter at the World Assembly of religions for peace is. The subject of a ton of lindo is it to him i or food to tell us more about this initiative and why is it so important. So and rita as you have a mentioned this is the Worlds Largest gathering of interfaith religious leaders it doesnt happen very often it happens only about 5 every 5 to 7 years over 800 delegates really from every religious faith and tradition that you can imagine in this globe the special thing about this gathering theres a special focus on young people and also as you have said women in a world where religion and faith is sometimes seen as a precursor to conflict and strife they really want to bring together these religious leaders along with government leaders and the young people to see how things can get better essentially for their future because oftentimes it is young people and women that are on the frontlines of these conflicts you mentioned the Opening Ceremony which is ending as we speak it was started with the interreligious prayer with the children from different phases muslim Faith Christian faith jewish faith and a buddhist and also just indigenous children and they were there standing on the stage asking World Leaders to to rethink their ways because they at the end are the ones that have to live with the consequences of their actions and i have this fear theyll also be discussing how to protect places of worship at a time when attacks and sometimes appear to be on the rise and before we continue our conversation lets take a live look at this report. Disbelief in Christ Church new zealand. Its march 29000 and a white supremacist has just shot dead 51 people in consecutive attacks at a mosque and an Islamic Center in the city. What is especially horrific many of the victims were killed or injured while praying the mosque a place of peace turned into a site of slaughter soon after the u. N. Secretary general makes this plane i am making a global call kenya for the sanctity of all places of worship and the safety of all worshipers visit reverend sides in a spirit of compassion and told those. People everywhere must be allowed to observe and practice their face in peace. Yet just several weeks later on Easter Sunday terrorists carry out attacks in sri lanka among the targets a Christian Churches nearly 260 people are killed. Churches or other places of worship are not immune from violence on the contrary attacks on religious sites are commonplace all over the world in october 28th teen a gunman killed 11 people during prayers are to synagogue in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania it sort terrorists target congregations to kill as many people as possible but killing people at their place of worship also sends another message that religious communities are at risk even when theyre in what is supposed to be a place of sanctuary. Was threatening to you i am the delegates they are facing many problems as we can see so what kind of meetings and discussions are expected at lindau today. I must say amrita almost every delegate i have spoken to is well aware of the challenges that theyre facing in their region because of faith but theyre committed to finding solidarity solidarity is really a very word that you hear very often here in the conference yesterday i met a group of women from different faiths in the middle east and north africa region and they have together launched a solidarity and Empowerment Initiative for refugee women in syrian refugee women in jordan bringing them with the jordanian women so that the women can talk to each other to avoid the hostilities between the population of the country and the hosting refugee refugee population and the refugee population these women came from the jewish christian and different. Groups in the muslim faith and it was it was quite inspiring to actually see a sunni muslim woman sitting next to an iraqi shiite woman someone who comes from a country that has been plagued with with with violence because of sectarian violence it together and actually admit that theres more common a commonality of them differences between them and i what do the participants of want to achieve at this conference in lindau. I mean i think for the Younger Generation especially what they want is visibility they want to be here to tell the the World Leaders the older generation that they exist that they will be the ones bearing the brunt of these conflicts but also the assembly is very action oriented so yesterday also thats what and a workshop for young religious leaders teaching them how to use social media to effectively and positively send their message so its both action oriented but also they want to send a message that they are here right i am behind in lindau thank you very much for that information from that. Let me not bring you up to date on the stories making news around the world. Has scored on the e. U. To scrap the irish backstop in the agreement in a letter to the European Council president instead. Of a flexible and creative solution to potential problems of the Northern Ireland border.

Because a 21 it will woman as salvador whose baby was found dead in the toilet where she gave birth has been cleared of murder during a retrial evelyn of non this had always maintained her innocence she says she did not know she was pregnant and lost consciousness during the birth a case has been closely watched with Rights Groups calling for a protest. Its a happy ending for Evelyn Hernandez after 3 years behind bars a court in san salvador a quid at the young woman of aggravated homicide charges the prosecution had requested a 40 year sentence. Free hernandez couldnt hide her joy. Thank you for being here and thank god justice was done i also want. Express my gratitude to those who have protested on might be half as well as my supporters and other countries and i want to thank my mother for it being there for me all along. Hernandez had been imprisoned after suffering a miscarriage and being found guilty of murdering her unborn child the womans lawyers argued she had been raped and was unaware of her pregnancy when an upset trick emergency at her home resulted in a stillbirth. Women convicted under el salvadors draconian anti abortion law usually faced sentences of 2 to 8 years but often those who seek medical treatment after a miscarriage are charged with aggravated homicide and 2017 hernandez was sentenced to 30 years in prison but in february El Salvador Supreme Court overturned the ruling for lack of evidence over the past 2 years the struggle of Evelyn Hernandez has become a symbol for the womens Rights Movement and the fight for a more lenient abortion policy in all of latin america. Thats why scores of activists outside the courthouse celebrated the ruling as a collective victory and a long overdue step in the right direction. Now in less than 2 weeks voters in the german states of saxony and brandenburg go to the polls and 2 closely watched elections and thats because in both states the far right a. F. G. Could become the strongest posse and push the established parties the c. D. U. And the s. P. D. Into the background now whats giving the if the campaign extra appeal is code the last major or wealth producer in the economically weak region the if he wants to keep cool fired power plants in operation while the c. D. U. An s. T. D. Have decided they must go with thousands of people employed in the coal industry if use position is popular in the region. Its half past. 3 and stephan kubicki is under pressure he needs to order a crane. And its me again what kind of crane do any kind of wine was it again what. Could be its key works in a coal fired power plants in the eastern german region of loose aisha. Lately hes been managing his Election Campaign qubits he wants to represent the far right alternative for Germany Party or a f. T. In brandenburg state parliament. They could not see in years ago i never would have thought that i would get into politics so to speak and be this involved i could have gone fishing for it already taken my dog for a walk i could have had a lot easier its tough to be in the a. F. D. Hostile to you on your point of but the f. D. A. Is popular here germanys phase out of coal fired power plants has many people here worried and the a. F. D. Backs coal power which is practically the regions only source of income the party thrives on frustration with germanys mainstream parties or. Whatever theyve done for the last 30 years they make most people sick people dont believe in all the promises being made again just before the election. And. After the collapse of communist east germany many people moved to the west sense then the center left social democrats have governed the state of brandenburg. But since the emergence of the a. F. D. Many voters deny Climate Change and use fear mongering to stir up than a phobia. This party thats been tied to the nato nazis could become the most powerful force in the former east only a few people here are willing to comment on the f. T. s rise in popularity. And was in good hands and where they want to go. We wont know until theyre in power. And also why then it may be too late oh its missing. A f. T. Candidate stephan kubicki who could lure s. P. D. Voters to his camp dismisses concerns that his far right party is to extremist when georges issue of what they have something in the f. T. Became an exam to be out fast but i dont think thats an issue about it all week mish you mean a far right trend yes thats always the assumption that there isnt one its well informed and yet some of qubits keys own friends and family criticised him when he joined the f. T. Premier you have all your spuyten of of my family was divided some other relatives too were really surprised and some were horrified and they said man youre a decent guy how can you join the effort to console. You. Even so other parties have been losing ground to the a. F. D. But not the environmentalist greens theyve won supporters on the issue of the Climate Crisis and say they dont know why eastern germans vote for the far right. People are doing well and thats why theyre willing to do ridiculous experiments we have 3 percent unemployment and our district is at the top compared with others. But when it comes to the f. D. A. They act crazy and take risks. For us he. Has nothing to offer and they dont contribute to solving any problems at all he said they just make vulgar complaints about their discontent. This is. This evening another drawn out complaint. A. F. D. Party leader alexander gallons made an announcement he thrives on polarizing communities stephanie also knows how to score points with this crowd. The funniest question was what do i think of the climate activist great to turn back i was taken aback so i answered by dr levy with 388 horsepower do i still have to answer this question. But the party chief gets even more applause. Ladies and gentlemen if the f. D. A. Governs branden org we will patrol our borders again. Even dear friends even if that means things get ugly many voters say gellmans unvarnished frank
