a tropcal wind storm... >> ...can effect and surprise us... >> wow, these are amazing... >> techknow, where technology meets humanity! only on al jazeera america >> welcome to another news hour from doha. a u.n. report on last year's gaza war finds both israel and palestinian groups committed abuses that may amount to war crimes. >> european finance minister is holding a meeting to cuss a greek proposal to avoid default. >> al jazeera journalist mansour is spending a third day in custody in germany after an

extradition request by egypt. >> we love winnipeg. it's an tom city, but the mosquitoes did drive us out. >> we join the war against a tiny killer in were you ever canada's biggest cities. we begin with the major findings of a widely anticipated u.n. report into last year's war in gaza. it says israel and palestinian armed groups may have committed war crimes. investigators called on israel toe explain how it chose targets for airstrikes during the 51 day conflict. israel has been accused of failing to change tactics despite the large civilian casualties and damage to property. that's now raised questions about potential violations by senior political and military leadership. the independent investigators

also condemned palestinian armed groups for executing those suspected of collaborating with israel and say those killings constituted a war crime. the report says palestinian rockets and mortar fire directed at israel were indiscriminate and intended to spread fear among israelis. the u.n. commission are inquiry highlighted some of the worst effects of the war. >> the attacks on homes and families which led to large numbers of family members dying together when their homes were struck in the middle of the night or as they were gathering for the meal, these attacks had particular consequences for children. approximately 551 children died last summer in gaza during the fighting. >> israel says the report and the u.n. committee are biased. saying the entire process that led to the production of this report was politically motivated and morally flawed from the outset.

it is regrettable that the report fails to recognize the profound difference between israel's moral behavior and the terror organizations that it confronted. we'll go to west jerusalem in a moment but first a reaction from our editor james bays at u.n. headquarters in new york. israel says this u.n. committee is biased. that the production was politically motivated and morally flawed. what are we to make of that? >> this is a commission of inquiry set up but the u.n. human rights council in geneva. this is the main body for human rights in the u.n. system and this is a formal official u.n. report done in the way that the u.n. would always do this sort of examination. i'm sure the u.n. will reject that sort of criticism. israel i think is obviously worried about the details in this report. yes, this report accuses hamas

and palestinian groups of war crimes too. if you look at the report, the amount of damning detail about israel in there is very great indeed. remember, israel is considered to be a member state of the united nations and its military is supposed to be a professional army. yet the damning criticism for example, it says the leadership did not change its course of abcs despite considerable information despite the massive degree of death and destruction in gaza raises questions of humanitarian law by these officials which may amount to war crimes. that is a very damning sentence about a country that is a member state of the united nations. >> let's go to west jerusalem. perhaps you can summarizes the response for us from both the israelis and also the palestinians hamas in

particular. >> the israeli response isn't surprising at all. we've heard increasing rhetoric from politicians not least the prime minister benjamin netanyahu who described this report days before it was reds as a waste of time. we have received formal written statements by the israeli government in which it described the report as politically motivated, morally flawed, and notoriously biased. it went on to say that it was committed to the rule of law but what was interesting again about this statement from the israelis is that as opposed to the response we had in 2009 when the gold stone report came out about the conflict in 2008 in which it described it as appalling, this time around, the israelis have said they will take a very close look at this inquiry's findings and that they

were willing to again try to understand what was in that report. so somewhat measured, but still also stinging at the same time. for the palestinian side, there's obviously two points of view. let's start with the palestinian authority in the west bank. we have the chief palestinian negotiator, he's put out a brief statement saying that they have acknowledged this, the findings of this report, that they're still looking into i had but that they encouraged all sides rather, to bring an end to the conflict now. for hamas, they have said that they reject any allegations that they may have commit war crimes, that they were defending themselves so again a lot of points of view here, but none of them particularly surprising, given the fact that we've enough had several conflicts in gaza, three in the last six years. now here we are with another

major report from the u.n. human rights commission, which of course is very detailed, but the findings of which are not too dissimilar from what we've heard in the past. >> i just want to come back to that issue of war crimes. the use of rockets is the report in the possession of palestinian armed groups indiscriminate nature in any target of mortar attack consist st. louis violation of international law in particular of the fundamental principle of distinction which amount to a war crime the report says. hamas is being accused of war crimes, as well as the israelis. >> that's right. hamas is also accused of war crimes for the execution that they carried out during the peak of that conflict in which a number of so-called israeli collaborators were killed. in fact, we were covering the war at the time. we were there in the aftermath of that, so the human report

saying that, too constituted a war crime. at this stage both the israelis and armed groups in gaza, including hamas are accused of possible war crimes. >> thank you indeed, from west jerusalem. >> greece's prime minister alexis tsipras has made a last minute offer to the country's international creditors meeting european leaders to try to secure a deal. greece has to come up with $1.8 billion by that the end of this month or default on its debts. we are in brussels, dominic cain in frankfurt. phil, we begin with you first. any sign of a deal? >> in a word, no. i want hang around waiting for one today with that we just heard in press conference that there is pretty much going to be no deal today. they will still meet this evening but won't discuss the terms of any deal. the greeks put forward these

proposals late on sunday which got a lot of people excited made it look like the greeks were looking at forms of concessions. there was some hope here. that kind of changed to anger frustration for the simple reason that people felt that these proposals put forward when they were looked at in the cold light of day were disorganized. the finance minister turned up 45 minutes late. we understood that alexis tsipras was going to be told look these are no good. what we have just heard in the last few minutes is that finance ministers are going to look at these proposals saying they were in such a condition that we have to be given time to look through them, to make sure that a deal can be reached and it benefits both sides. we understand that they are looking at perhaps reaching a deal on thursday. this is interesting thursday, there's an e.u. summit taking place. this was probably the last official time they would meet, the last chance for a deal with be reached. technically, greece can pay that

anytime until midnight on the 30 of june, it has a week and a day pretty much left to go. when you look at logistics of getting this money across, thursday is the last chance for them to reach a deal. they are sitting down, committed to working together to make sure greece does not default. it's unlikely we will hear anything today it will be thursday likely before any agreement is reached. >> the fourth biggest bank warned there's a genuine risk the greek banks will be forced to close their doors tomorrow and cease dispensing cash. how much longer can the e.c.b. keep giving life saving loads liquidity to the bank of greece? >> well, there's a terrible connection, i'm barely hearing your question. i think you asked me about liquidity and the situation so far as that is concerned for

greek banks. the central bank of grease asked for a meeting of the central bankers of the euro zone here behind me at the european central bank to discuss emergency liquidity assistance, e.l.a. as it's called. that was given on friday. this is very much a sticking plaster over an open wound. there's no sense that the money and assistance being given is in any way going to resolve a its much more deep rooted solvency crisis what is inning is that chair prices in the stock exchange here at germany's most important stock market did rise this morning fueled by some sense of optimism about a deal. this is the sort of thing that mr. tsipras was hearing phil talk about from brussels, but clearly without any development it's unlikely that you'll see any resolution coming in the bankers from the believe behind me. >> many thanks, dominic cain in

frankfurt. let's hear from gerald tan talks going down to the wire to avoid pushing greece out of the euro zone. take a look at some of the possible outcomes. >> greece has a staggering national debt. after two bailouts in 2010 and 2012, it now owes 320 billion euros, all around $360 billion to its national creditors. the european union the european central bank, and the international monetary fund. next week, june 30 it needs to repay $1.8 billion to the i.m.f., but it has no cash. the only way it can make payment is if creditors the european union and european central bank release a bailout package worth $8.1 billion, but they won't do so until greece imposes more austerity measures at home, and that's where the negotiations come in.

greece has made concessions among them to end early retirement from next year to spend less on pensions, slap a levy on companies with an annual profit of more than $566,000, and higher taxes a so-called solidarity levee for people who make above $34,000 a year. what happens now? if greece is able to strike a deal with creditors it avoids defaulting and stays in the euro zone but if a deal is rejected outright, greek defaults on its loan, the european central bank ends an emergency funding and the greek government may be forced to introduce measures that caps money that can be drown from banks. >> an independent economic analyst for the think thank joins us live from athens.

we heard that the chairman of greece's fourth biggest bank warning there's a risk that banks will be forced to close their doors tomorrow if there is no deal in brussels. doesn't look like there is going to be a deal today. how genuine is that threat? scare mongering or genuinely could banks not open tomorrow? >> well, this is a -- >> doesn't look like we've got him in athens in a moment. we'll be back to him in a few minutes. i really want to hear what he has to say actually. >> tension in the south china sea and suspicion inside of space. we'll look at issues undermining upcoming talks on u.s.-china relations. >> in venezuela, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, we are about to patrol with a police force that is constantly losing the battle against crime. >> in sports, back-to-back

majors to his name, 21-year-old jordan speith becomes the youngest winner at golf's u.s. open. we will have the details. >> the taliban attacked the parliament in kabyle, opening fire on the building while politicians were in session. five died, 31 others injured. we have this report from kabul. >> the parliamentary session was just getting underway when this happened. there is confusion. it's just an electrical problem says the speaker, as m.p.'s flee the chamber. it was a taliban suicide bomb going off outside the gates, leaving cars in flames. other fighters took up positions

in a building across the street, firing on the entrance to the parliament. >> the minister of defense was also in the parliament at this time, and wanted to come to the session when the explosion happened. >> police and special forces quickly arrived to move the michigan p.'s and senators from the building and fight the attackers while people looked on. >> a car bomb came into the street next to the ministry of trade and detonated. when the car bomb exploded, the attackers with machine guns wanted to enter but the security forces pushed them back so they couldn't get in. all six attackers were killed. >> taliban attacks aren't limited to the capital. in northern afghanistan, the armed group controls two districts, just you outside

dundu city. thousands of taliban fighters are involved and the government sent more than 7,000 soldiers and police. 7,000 residents have been displaced. >> in greece, the emergency meeting of finance ministers on going in brussels, we have an independent analyst with us from athens. how seriously do you take these comments from the chairman of greece's fourth largest bank when he says there is a real risk banks won't open tomorrow if there is no deal in brussels today? >> one has to take these comments seriously. the outflow of deposits from households and business is dramatic and we cannot afford such further outflow in the coming days. it's a matter of either finding

a solution or looking at the collapse of the big financial system. it's better that the banks can open their doors tomorrow. >> you're saying that if a deal isn't reached it's only a matter of time before greece will declare in cool venezuela and introduce capital controls. >> that is possibly on the agenda. developments could be triggered including capital controls, which risk also that the situation gets out of control in greece. >> would greece be better off leaving the euro zone, do you think? >> no. i don't think at all that this is a proposition. that doesn't help the greek economy. it would definitely not help social cohesion in the country. people stand to loose a lot and at the end of the day it begs the question which country would

be targeted next by international capital markets as possibly wanting to leave. >> all right. let me ask you the question in reverse, is perhaps the euro zone better off without greece? >> no, i think that the euro zone needs greece. in economic volume, it is a small country but matters enormously. this is a country involving an entire region of europe, it is a nato member. all sides have considerations to take into mind, not only about financial economic, it's also regional security issues, for example. >> good to talk to you many thanks for being with us. >> the state attorney in berlin is reviewing the detention papers of al jazeera journalist mansour. protestors have been back on the streets demanding his release. he spent a third day in custody

after being detained at berlin airport on saturday. egypt has asked germany to extradite him. more than 20,000 people have signed a petition demanding his immediate release. live now to berlin. al jazeera's paul brennan is there. paul. >> the state attorney general in the building over my shoulder has been examining the documentation attached to this case since 9:00 this morning german time. his job effective i will is to rule on whether or not the extradition request made by the egyptians is valid. we've spoken not to the attorney general himself but to his press spokesman who gave us a favor of just how important the process is. >> there was made a decision from german federal authorities to arrest this man so he was arrested in berlin. it's now our duty to check

weather it is ok from the judicial side that the man will be held in custody for means of the procedure of extradition to egypt or not. >> now martin talking just specifically about the judicial side, bub the political aspect of all of this is very important indeed. the foreign ministry here in germ my will have a say whether it's advice automobile for mr. mansour to be extra dated back to egypt. developments in the last half hour indicate that mr. mansour may be walking free within the not too distant future. his lawyer has come out around the corner from here and left the area. he's coming back in a short while. the indications are that they might have a breakthrough in this case during the course of this afternoon.

i'll keep you posted. >> we are going to hear from the turkish president erdogan who criticized germany for obtaining ahmed mansour. germany, it's own people are protesting on the streets about this detention. germany would come under a lot of criticism if it decided to go ahead with egypt's request. >> i think it would. there's no doubt that it's all very well having the paperwork in order. the political aspect of this is very important, as i said. germany was visited by the egyptian leader just two weeks ago and the coincidental nature of that has not gone unnoticed here. there is a huge amount of pro test and disquiet about the timing of this arrest and a huge amount of confusion about the actual reason for it. we've found it very difficult to

work out whether this was an interpol request or came directly from egypt. the latest we're hearing is that it was an interpol request which laid dormant on the books of the federal police. although withdrawn by interpol, german police kept it on the books and mansour was arrested at the airport. it's a hot poe pay the at a germany could do without but the i understand cases are that later this afternoon we may have a breakthrough. i don't want to preempt anything, but watch this space is all i can provide at this time. >> thank you paul. he said there is no extradition agreement between germany and egypt and that the act is politically motivated. >> european behave very

differently in coup stages. >> barrel bombs dropped by bashar al assad several people were injured in the attack on rebel held areas in the northern city of aleppo. syria's government has repeatedly denied using barrel bombs, which are large containers filled with explosives and shrapnel. >> sir yep activists say that isil fighters have planted land mines and explosives in palmyra. isil captured it last month. it's not clear whether the group plans to use the device to say destroy the site or stop government forces flying trough advance. >> two more people infected with mers died in south korea. it takes the death toll now to 27 from the virus. 172 people have been infected in south korea.

>> more than 200 died in a heatwave in pakistan. most of the casualties have been in the southern port city of karachi where temperatures soared to 45 degrees celsius. doctors say most of the deaths are due to heat streak. >> it was a sudden loss for the family who's relative died over the weekend. >> he fell as a result of extreme heat. we shuffled him to a room for rest. we found him dead. >> extreme heat that contributed to the death is impacting other areas in southern pakistan. dozens of people died over the weekend. many are fasting for ramadan they don't eat or drink during the day. it's been a hot summer and hundreds have been brought to hospitals. doctors say many have suddenly collapsed and suffered breathing problems. >> patients with heat stroke

brought the hospital with a high grade fever. since the weather was bad and temperature high, we expected more patients today also and patients kept pouring in. >> searing temperatures mean many did not make it. 150 bodies were brought here. most were working outside in the heat or from impoverished neighborhoods. people suffering from the spike in temperatures are also facing frequent power outages many places have reported long hours with no electricity. there have been protests against persistent blackouts. the government has been criticized for not keeping its promises of ending power cuts. the government is doing all it can to bridge the gap during peak hours. there might be relief in the next few days. the heat is a regular occurrence as part of the premonsoon

season. some cloud cover has lowered temperatures but people are being advised to avoid exposure to the sun in the coming days. >> first of all bring you update on the story we were talking about moments ago the detention of al jazeera journalist mansour. we just heard that he has now been released by german authorities, just as paul brennan was predicting a few moments ago. we'll bring you more in the next few minutes here on al jazeera. let's get more on that heatwave that is affecting parts of pakistan. rather ironic that to the south on the continent, the sub continent, we've got torrential rain and this heatwave further north. >> this time of the year, it's one or the other as the monsoon comes in and brings relief from the heat. it is hot certainly for karachi, it's been the hottest day of the year.

temperatures are up to 45 degrees. nighttime at times that's a big thing, as well. they were dropping no lower than that 31-32 degrees, it's worth pointing out in addition to the power outages the hottest weather coincided with the second day of ramadan. nothing to eat or drink may have played a part. the problem across pakistan, elsewhere, it's the monsoon pushing in across the western gaps but the monsoon spreads across the whole of asia and influences southern china. there's a lot of moisture on the ground from provinces. this area of clouds gives heavy rain for hong kong, going to see an awful lot of rain in the coming days because we've got a tropical storm. this is going to move north into those very, very wet southern provinces of china.

i think we can see for many parts of southern china another 100-200 millimeters of rain developing in the next couple of days. flooding is going to be a major story in the coming days. >> we're approaching midway point. still to come on the program: >> pests can be deadly, the canada city may hold the key to keeping mosquitoes at bay. >> losing the battle, a crime wave in venezuela the targets are the police. >> the absence on the field hurt brazil's copa america campaign? i don't know. we'll have the details later in sport.

>> let's get to more on the story of the developing story rewarding that al jazeera journalist whose been detained since saturday in germany after a request by egypt to extradite him to egypt. al jazeera's paul brennan is back with us live from berlin. i understand that he's been released paul. >> well, i did say that there was possibly the strong potential for a breakthrough within a few minutes. it looks like we've got one. mr. mansour has been speaking with colleagues of mine by telephone. he has been technically freed

although hasn't walked out of the building behind me. he was held in the cell block the prison area just to the other side of this facade that you can see. there is a separate gate. his lawyer came out earlier and told us that there was a very strong path that we might have a breakthrough. now mr. mansour himself has obviously had his phone returned to him and is able to speak to colleagues and he's told us that he is technically free, that he is going to be able to walk out of the building behind me and he will be able to leave the country, leave germany and as far as the on going process goes, it appears that all charges, the arrest warrants that was outstanding against him appears to have gone away, so from the point of view of our colleague, al jazeera colleague good news. but still of course question marks about how this transpired in the first place. >> there would have been some very awkward questions for germany to answer if indeed they complied with egypt's request

wouldn't me paul. >> well, in the last 36 hours that i've been here covering the story, the people that i was speaking to, it almost -- almost looked uncomfortable that they'd been put into this position. this morning, we were talking to a spokesperson drop the interior ministry and it does appear that this was an interpol red notice request, which had been withdrawn by interpol last year, but for some reason lay dorm manual on the books of the german federal police who patrolled the airport. when mr. mansour tried to leave it flagged up and he was taken into detention, so there was a question mark about that. the reality is that the judicial process and the political process are very close by intertwined and even approximate the paperwork had all been in order, it was open to the german foreign ministry to overrule that and decide that it was not in germany's national interest to extradite mr. mansour to

egypt. now in the aftermath of all of this, you know, this is breaking news in the last half hour that we've heard that all charges the arrest warrant appears to have gone away and he will be allowed to go, so we are not yet clear as the exact circumstances of who actually gave the order for him to be freed. we will of course try and find that out as the day progresses, but for the moment, it does appear that hour colleague from al jazeera arabic will be allowed to walk out in the very near future and will be allowed to leave germany without the fear or risk of being extra dated to face charges in egypt. >> many thanks, live from berlin. >> let's go back to the u.n. report that says a israel and palestinian armed groups may have committed war crimes. the assault on gaza last july was one of the highest losses have palestinian life since the 19676 day war.

over 2,000 gazes were killed, 75% were civilians. tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes. in israel, 66 soldiers, five civilians died, 470 members of the military and over 260 civilians were injured. the u.n. said 89,000 gazan homes were damaged, 7,000 were completely destroyed. it will cost up to $6 billion to rebuild and take around 20 years. the foreign minister of hamas said it's unfair to make comparison between israeli and palestinian deaths during the conflict. >> i think that the fatal mistake that all the time they try to be bias and try to make kind of equality between the

killers and victims. you cannot make difference between the huge amount of victims on the palestinian side, about 2200 people, about 90% of them are civilians who were killed in this aggression. >> let's get reaction. what did you make of what you heard there? >> well, the things we hear from hamas reflects the criticism from the israel government, saying it's unfair to compare israel and hamas where hamas we're hearing unfair to compare the deaths.

they say one is acting to protect civilians and one army firing rockets upon civilian populations. the response that is we've seen so far from israel and the government have certainly red what they perceive as a lack of context, comparing israel, the actions of the army to the actions of hamas. >> israel group has dismissed this as politically motivated and morally flawed from the outset. it says that the people, that the investigation is bias. help us understand that accusation, that criticism. >> in some ways, the response we've seen so far at least in the response of the israel foreign ministry has been measured compared to the response of the gold stone report of 2009 in which the foreign ministry said they were appalled and disappointed in the report. this time, they said they will look into the findings in the

report, but the criticism of the body itself, of the process involved in creating this report comes back to the criticism of the u.n. human rights, the u.n. human rights council which since its formation in 2006 has focused almost nearly all of its efforts on israel, nearly half of its condemnation, the specific countries have been towards israel and in israel, that's seen as an unfair singling out of israel compared to other countries in the region in the world earlier with barrel bombs in syria barrels being thrown out of helicopters. the feeling here is that the u.n. security council and the creation of this report has come about specifically to target israel as opposed to create a

balanced report. saying that, as i mentioned the response has been measured from israel who said that they will look into the findings. >> reading through the cutdown version of the report doesn't seem as though it's biased against israel. let me read you the bit about accountability whichs the steps taken by strehl to investigate -- plops remain with respect to international standards. further changes are required to fulfill duties to investigate and prosecute and hold perpetrators accountable for violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law. it's basically saying that israel we know it's trying to do its best but needs to do

more. >> the report has a very different feel to previous reports. however, the criticism coming from jerusalem is based on the general context of the report, in the efforts to compare israel and hamas and while overrule, doesn't indict israel in having committed war crimes, this there is a comparison between israel and hamas that their actions are comparable, their the same sort of fighters fighting against each other where as israel is claiming and saying that the idea of it protects its civilians with hack mass, firing rockets indiscriminately to people and there can be no comparison from the beginning. >> thank you there our political correspondent from the voice of israel. >> back now to the release of

our colleague ahmed mansour in berlin in german detention since saturday after egypt requested that germany detain him and extradite him to germany. one of his lawyers joins us from berlin. what more can up tell us about developments this afternoon? your client now is free, sir. >> yes. we -- i can report to you that that he is being reds from the prison in berlin. we are waiting for him and there's been a lot of talks this morning and the general prosecution office has come to the conclusion not to follow up on the warrant so that they are now releasing him from prison. >> he's now free to leave

germany? >> i suppose so, yes. we haven't seen the decision yet or the reasons. i'm quite sure that he will be. >> ok. will questions be asked as to why germany saw fit to detain him in the first place? >> that's something i can't answer you right now. we need to look at the reasoning of what has happened in the past few days and after looking at this can come to conclusion to make a political statement here, that's too early from my point of view. >> have you managed to speak to your client? i know he's not physically been reds but legally he's free to go. >> that's true. that's true. he is about to be released at this moment. >> you haven't spoken to him yet? >> i've spoken to him earlier but not yet. >> ok, patrick many thanks indeed. that's the lawyer there for our

colleague, ahmed mansour, al jazeera's journalist, detained in germany on saturday after a request from egypt to detain and extradite him to egypt to face charges there. it seems now that german authorities have now released our colleague having looked into all the details of that request. we'll bring you more when we've got it here on al jazeera. >> mexican police detained 37 central american migrants abandoned on a bus while trying to reach the united states. the driver left them after two weeks on the road. the migrants are held in a migration center. police found 41 other abandoned migrants in the back of a truck. >> costa rica has a massive rubbish problem and activists are demanding people stop using

plastic for at least a month. it dumps and average of 110 tons of plastic bottles and rubbish into waterways each day clogging rivers and drainage systems. that's a quarter of all the waste produced in the country. >> the importation of plastics in the country is reaching 600,000 tons of plastic imported each year. obviously it's worrying us, because this isn't even collected. it is being addition posed of into the environment and eventually contaminating our seas. >> either as a retaliation or in order to rob their weapons venezuelan police have increasingly become the target of crime. al jazeera's virginia lopez looks at policing one of the most dangerous countries in the world. >> he was killed by gangsters. the 35-year-old is one of more than 100 police officers who in venezuela have become the recent

target of crime in 2015 alone. >> i always pray to my god to protect them. my son would tell me to relax that he knew how to take care of himself. >> his relatives say he was ambushed by thugs who stole his weapon. his death leaves a grieving family and the fear among his fellow officers that they might be next. >> on night patrol with the state police, that fear is obvious. >> when we're off duty, the risk gets higher, because people recognize us and they know we carry guns. >> according to criminologists, killing police officers has been on the rise since 2012, thanks in part because local communities have little respect for a force that can be abusessive and corrupt. >> venezuela is one of the most dangerous countries understand

world but policemen of understaffed and many times outgunned by criminals. >> a recent government ban on weapons has contributed ironically to a rise in crime. >> we have become victims because we are armed p.m. there is no sale on guns to the general public. because criminals don't have access to weapons they kill officers. it's become a symbol of status. >> recent incidents where armed group's have targeted police, confrontations have no end in sight. >> back now to the release of our colleague in berlin. one of the lawyers for ahmed mansour joins us live from london. you must be a pretty happy man right now. >> very happy and very sad. i'm sure, a democracy like germany have accepted the

request from the regime very well known of his repression and the oppression against journalists in egypt and his repressive regime against any political dissent in the country. that's why, i think the lesson to be learned now is what democracies of the world are going to do to protect journalists that have passed the resolution of the u.n. sometime ago for the protection of journalists in areas of crisis. what about protecting journalists when they come to democracies and are stopped at airports? humiliated by stopping them, intimidating by keeping them two or three days merely on the request of regime like that of general sisi. >> what do you think has gone on here, read in between the lines? there was an interpoll request

or request to interpoll to arrest him. that was dismissed and then suddenly we get this new request and he's detained as an airport. what do you think is going on? >> there was no request from the interpol at all. the germans have for their own reasons arrested him and relying on some fabricate allegations. no one would believe them. no one raises any allegations against him until after almost two years thereafter. these are fabricated, and retaliatory allegations by a regime who wanted to get away with it and to extend its jurisdiction of repression to democratic countries including germany. the germans really should not have acted so quickly amounted that's why it raised suspicion that the western countries are competing to get their -- now

from the regime in egypt because they are engaged in huge infrastructure programs -- and so on. it's a shame that western democracies are competing for business in egypt at the expense of basic human rights, which we keep telling us about them and preaching to the oh other countries about them. >> two of our colleagues are still being retried in cairo. others were convicted in absentia. what do germany's actions mean for them? >> very disappointing especially in the light of the following, germany has no extradition treaty with egypt. the german judiciary have already ruled against any repatriation of any person to a country where he could be or she could be increased including
