to create empathy in a medical context would i disclose more information to a person or to a computer in this case. if you listen let's feelings are the instruments that steer us and whoever can control these feelings has great power over us you can possibly own the rhythms instead of feelings measuring emotion starting december sixteenth on g.w. . this is. a fresh wave of unrest in the middle east after trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and the u.s.

embassy in beirut as protesters express their rage break from decades of policy also coming up. winners of the nobel peace prize receive their award for work toward banning nuclear weapons and ensure a dire warning for the future. and the turkish german journalist who has spent the last three hundred days imprisoned in turkey on international human rights a we'll look at the dangers still facing activists. thanks for joining us i'm. well there has been fresh fallout from the u.s. presidents decision to recognize israel's capital violence has flared with police saying a palestinian has stopped an israeli security guard at jerusalem's main bus station . and in lebanon security forces have fired tear gas at hundreds of demonstrators

at the american embassy in. fires outside the u.s. embassy in beirut a sign of the rage against the u.s. president and his plans to relocate the country's embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem it's a move the arab world calls open aggression against the palestinians and a threat to regional stability. it doesn't matter what donald trump and the us administration decide jerusalem will remain the capital of arab palestine forever. jerusalem is arab it always was arab and it will stay that way. also tens of thousands chanted in wave flags on the streets of the moroccan capital robot to show their support for the palestinians and denounce american and israeli aggression in paris french president. urged israel's benjamin netanyahu to

negotiate with the palestinians and called trump's move a dangerous threat to peace netanyahu dug in against the criticism it's always been a couple and it's never been a couple of other people i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president. stork and so important for peace. that peace is unlikely in the current atmosphere as palestinians continue to march in gaza and the west bank violent scenes like this in bethlehem suggest it won't be easy to diffuse their outrage. but it is meeting with french president manuel mccaw on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that the sooner the palestinians accepted that your islam was israel's capital the sooner there would be peace i asked our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer intends to make that

work. well that is really a good question because that is really a nonstarter for the palestinians they're saying well we are also reality yeah and they want of course to see through. for they to be the capital of their future state so it was quite about an uncompromising stance to echoing also the words of the u.s. president who had recognized jerusalem asked a capital of israel last week so also a rather straightforward statement by the french president in this press conference he was basically reiterating again that france is opposing this recognition and he also urged the israeli prime minister to make some gestures towards the palestinians focus on was talking about a possible settlement freeze so you also had very clear verts to mr netanyahu on this issue. now to some of the other stories making news around the world.

nobel committee has recognized the decade long campaign to secure a ban on nuclear weapons over one hundred countries have signed a treaty two thousand fact book the world's nuclear powers including the united states haven't yet and neither has north korea a moment of panic or carelessness a misconstrued comment or a bruised ego could easily lead us to the destruction of entire cities the story of nuclear weapons will have an ending and it is up to us to decide what that enemy will be. will it be the end of nuclear weapons. or really be the end of us. the ceremony was attended by survivors of the hiroshima bombing said school thurlow was a teenager then she lost friends and family on august the sixth one nine hundred forty five. today she dedicated the nobel prize to them and to hundreds of

a four by tree. much of the time he's been kept isolated from other prisoners. hundreds of human rights workers are currently behind bars in turkey human rights activists. recently returned from istanbul after being held there for weeks shot auto parts in his burning home. on his way to germany to reunite with his family after spending nearly four months in a turkish prison and the weeks since his return he's been trying to readjust its continuing doing my relaxation exercises which i did before going into prison during prison i'm doing it still it's a lot of talking with friends with colleagues it's also just getting back into normal rhythms like taking care of the children etc they human rights activist was teaching a seminar in istanbul when he was unexpectedly detained by turkish authorities

during his time in prison he learned to come to terms with the rules. as maybe the strictest one had for several days but also there. i was treated mainly was a respect for the work guards i had great great inmates in the way. who through similar situations like i did and for me it was very important to feel the solidarity from the outside as well from the federal prison activists and both germany and turkey demanded his release now despite not being back in germany the trial against him in turkey is continuing in his absence he's charged with having supported an armed terrorist organization many of us are still imprisoned in turkey looking into the. judicial system and the judicial procedures see that for a lot of the political detainees that the situation is rather unfair there the trials are postponed there are sometimes not even until now there's

a lot of solidarity from my side towards them and i hope that i can say the same that i would love to say the same that as you just said a few days before my release like you're going to be out now soon. i recently received a peace prize for his work as a human rights activist. and for more on this we're joined by marcus baik oh he's the general secretary of the to see international here in germany mr baker thank you for joining us. now is just one of the eleven human rights activists that was facing charges related to terrorism there. he's free now what about the others why ten of the human rights defenders who were arrested with him free currently. the chair of the turkish section of amnesty international is still in detention and still faces not not only does accusations but still actually is is in

detention and the rest of tama clearly as as a representative of an independent international organization is not only an attack on him but it's an attack on human rights in general has human rights day and also today for his three hundredth day behind bars we're talking about the german turkish journalist tennis you chel what kind of a condition is he in right now do you know now being in prison for true on the days just for doing your job just for being a journalist is a condition in itself and the international community is challenge has to do everything it can too. bring the turkish authorities to release them as you chair but also the other journalists who have been detained for so many months there are many other journalists behind bars there for the same reasons it's nearly up to two hundred journalists and media workers who have been detained by the

turkish authorities and who face observed allegations in the cases and who also see that their rights are often not well recognized doing the process and the jurisdiction of executions there going on and now let's talk about the broader picture and it's of course even might stay activists say turkey is a prominent example of a democracy turning into a dictatorship what does that mean for human rights around the world is that a trend that we need to be watching out for and this international currently observes two key trends one is that governments and political groups try to do human eyes entire groups declaring them far less human and staff or trying to really not acknowledge that they of course have all human rights and the

second trend is that human rights defenders doles people who stand up peacefully for human rights are being targeted increasingly so we've seen over two hundred eighty human rights defenders being killed. and it's increasing trend and the world community's challenge to to really stand by these peaceful human rights defenders especially on this day thank you for coming in to highlight those worrying trends thought is marcus vaiko the secretary general of the international here in germany . well onlookers in rome have been treated to a daring fee's watching a tight rope to cross the river along a steel wire nice the italian performer inched his way across one hundred and thirty five meters of cable between the banks of the famous river west and windy conditions made for even more challenging conditions but it was the you know the
