this is d w news live from berlin i top serve politician gunned down in kosovo from all over the bonaventure was a prominent leader of x. next earns his killing bears the hallmarks of a political assassination triggering fears of fresh tension between kosovo and serbia also coming up no more migrant camps that's the promise the french president delivered in culling a port city that's become

a magnet for thousands of asylum seekers a model my call says he'll be clamp down on illegal migration. i just irving discovery in southern california thirteen siblings held captive in the suburban home some in chains the police have charged the parents with torture. plus pope francis asks the chilean people to forget he expresses his pain and shame over a sexual abuse scandal in the catholic church earlier protesters joined crowds welcoming protests the scandal has turned many chileans away from their faith. i'm sumi so much kinder good to have you with us a prominent leader of ethnic serbs in kosovo has been gunned down in front of his political party's office in the city of metro reports say all over yvonne of it was pronounced dead in a local. hospital after being found lying in the street with gunshot wounds to his

chest his killing is likely to inflame tensions between serbia and kosovo a former province that declared independence ten years ago a separate delegation walked out of e.u. mediated talks on kosovo and news of if one of its death. did these frank calls one is following the story for us he has extensive experience reporting on the balkans hi frank this looks like an assassination what are police saying well the police is on the ground at the moment to find more evidence says no public statement so far from from the best to gauge as i believe learn from the doctor in the hospital that he was brought there thirty minutes after he was gunned down and that he was or was there already dead when he arrived that he had no chance to so what if the political. background of all this i think is essential to think about at the moment today you've just mentioned that we had scheduled a meeting a very important meeting of technical talks between abeyance and serves then

brussels and that was canceled right away and that was the first meeting to improve such improve the situation the living conditions on the ground between the bains and ethnic serbs in kosovo the first time after one year so i think if we think about this a little bit more we find the motives behind that murder so the timing is very significant who was all over of on of it and why was he significant he was a moderate he was the counterpart of the international community somebody everybody could talk to he was repressed scenting the serbs in north and neutral it so that very eager to find solutions in this very difficult situation between ethnic albanians and ethnic serbs in the north and kosovo town and he was he was convicted for war crimes but the appeal court and build this this this verdict late as they were he was a free man for now and many had hoped that he continues they were. for pays in the

form of serve in provinces so in that sense i must say this is a this is a it's a shock for everybody who is affiliated with that region and briefly if you can what is death mean for peace in kosovo the use the united states just issued a travel warning for north and middle of it's only two days ago that says a lot i think we have to observe that situation very closely more trouble can can occur after that of that killing did of these from kauffman reporting on the story for us thank you very much for joining us in studio thanks for having now french president tomorrow will not call has addressed security forces in collaborate on migration policy including plans to create a better system for people entering the country mcconaughey the speech just days before a meeting to discuss border controls with britain earlier on tuesday he visited a migrant center where he spoke to staff and asylum seekers he has pledged to speed up the processing of asylum applications and ensure those people rejected will be dealt with quote more firmly. room d.w.

as lisa lewis has been following this story for us i lisa what more did the president my contact on in his speech earlier today. well president matt carter was there to deliver the message that the coloration is back on track actually to getting back to normality he says that the economy is growing again that unemployment is going down companies are making more profits after years of stigmatization because of the mike and situation and he also said that the number of migrants had gone down considerably especially since the jungle was dismantle about a year and a half ago that's the case at the time but you know half ago there were up to eight thousand people so to say living there in color waiting to get through to the u.k. now they're about five hundred to six hundred and a man in my car used one word several times that flood and us pass which means dead and in english he wants to say that my considered be going to color any more that

there's no way to get through to the u.k. but that at the same time the government will keep providing shelter for those that get there and will keep providing the necessary good living conditions for them obviously eight associations wouldn't necessarily agree on that right so the number of asylum seekers has a fallen dramatically but has the situation actually really improved in. not really at the moment it's cold it's freezing it's raining and apparently according to a u.s. associations two of which have now press charges for that the police are confiscating taking away tents and sleeping bags on a regular basis from migrants because the government wants to prevent a new jungle from springing up that's what the president said today in his speech as well and eight associations are saying that the police are eating treating it really treating it migrants in a in a bad way say to say the president also saying that france's are working on

tightening immigration law what changes are being made. absolutely france is at the moment working on a new law that will get through parliament in the coming months and they want to shorten the delays for asylum applications and also for appealing to rejections of asylum applications again n.g.o.s are saying at this is not a fair treatment really because at the french administration is so slow that in many cases it will be impossible to stick to these delays so the migrants are likely to be extracted before actually having the possibility to apply for asylum in the future this all comes ahead of talks that mccaw scheduled to hold with of the british prime minister theresa may on security and migration what can we say come out of that. not call it during his campaign is election campaign has pledged to renegotiate the treaty and we understand that france and the u.k. are at this very moment negotiating on an amendment or

a new treaty really that is to say at the moment they say this to kick treaty which means that the british border is effectively in france and british border patrols are in france in color and in paris at the eurostar and france wants to negotiate certain terms of this treaty so that the u.k. treats more quickly asylum applications from those that are entitled to asylum in the case that is minors or people that are supposed to be reunited with their family and also france is asking for more money to put in place all the security measures in color and in paris. lisa loose reporting from paris thank you lisa now to some other stories making news around the world bangladesh says it has agreed with me in marna plan to repatriate more than six hundred fifty thousand pro hinge on muslim refugees to me and maher over the next two years in mars to allow the rancher to apply for citizenship the un refugee agency warned it is essential refugees only be returned voluntarily. danish prosecutors have charged the

banned photos like these from social media look at how and whether the government's moves are proving effective. but first a disturbing story in california thirteen brothers and sisters allegedly imprisoned by their own parents the victims range from two years old to twenty nine police say they were alerted by a teenage daughter who managed to escape. authorities were shocked at what they found hidden in this quiet suburb describing emaciated captives in foul smelling surroundings with padlocks and shackles. neighbors described the family as reclusive the children nearly invisible. they were the type that you didn't really get to know anything about them they were very good themselves and it says china issue so they only kept to themselves so and the only time you would see him you would never see one person you would never see anyone come outside all you

have really seen is that. they'd go out maybe make a grocery run and that was about it. parents david and louise turpin were arrested after one of their children broke free and managed to find a cell phone to alert the police the couple are now prisoners themselves being charged with torture and child endangerment. but the photos posted by the couple on facebook in two thousand and sixteen portray a happy family. authorities will now be asking what went wrong. in the time we live and it's unfortunate to see that it's actually heartbreaking for the staff and. just it's unbelievable what you see. the thirteen children are now receiving treatment in hospital their parents are set to appear in court on thursday. earlier today we spoke with valentino martelly

a freelance journalist in los angeles we asked her if it's know what kind of care the children are now receiving. full first of all of the sheriff the part of man that made no further information available beyond a news release but a schedule area a news conference for today a tent in the morning so that's where we will have a little bit more news an understanding of what happened inside that horror how the sirens concern the thirteen week victim or claim to be starving they were fat and needed to local hospital child protective services and adult protective services ever been also assisting in the investigation investigators also have asked that anyone with information on the case contact them the parents first of all were and able to immediately provide a logical reason why there were children who were with strain in that matter that's what the sheriff official have said in the news release. there is no really

understanding the neighbors are rarely see the kids when they were seen the kids it was for summer and the moment when they were going in the car some of them didn't even know the kids were existing and yet the family. as mentawai david had inter been and now lu is an interpretation that have both been arrested and now they are in jail with a bail set at nine million each posted several picture as you mention of a happy family also taking trips to disneyland illustrate this. valentino martelly speaking to us earlier there from los angeles now four time olympic champion simone biles says she was sexually abused by the former team usa gymnastics sports dr larry nasser the american artistic gymnast and star of the two thousand and sixteen rio games released an emotional statement on twitter saying she is quote not afraid

to tell her story anymore in december nasser was jailed for sixty years for possessing child sex abuse images and will be sentenced this week over two cases in which he admits to assaulting female gymnasts more than one hundred thirty women have filed civil lawsuits against him alleging abuse. and is here now with business and ben what is new at the detroit motor show well it's not so much as what's new but what's missing at the detroit motor show because manufacturers are rolling out their latest creations minus the steering wheel analysts say the future he is here regulators say ok a flea and responsibly review what's on offer that makes me question whether the tech is getting ahead of itself. it may not look like it but this could be the vision of the car industry future it's a so-called line our system and creates a real time thirty minutes of anything it's aimed at it allows cars fitted with the system to cut out the middleman and take care of the driving themselves. with car

manufacturers the world over betting big in the technology industry analysts say lawmakers need to remove regulatory roadblocks. that's one of his vehicles are still under development but it's going so fast and i think this is faster than any technology we've ever seen in the past we need to have the laws in place insurance in place and all those infrastructure things as well because it's not just about automaker technology. me son is also continuing its focus on semi autonomous vehicles in detroit unveiling its x motion concept car featuring what they call pro pilot technology similar to tesla auto pilot it takes over some of the heavy lifting but still requires human intervention in emergencies. it might not be as glitzy but ride sharing options like this bus might be the real future of driverless tech. so i don't be a long time before we have them in our driveway and when we do it right now we want somebody else on them we'll have a subscription service we'll have

a pay by the mile kind of turn it all business model for acquiring transportation one change. self driving ride sharing analysts say would be a development that could change the car industry as we know it. let's bring in custom phenomenon al correspondent in detroit so self driving tech is developing fast but won't be widely used for some time is is that what you're gauging at the show. pretty much so i mean if you look behind me this is the future of trucks would look like at least according to some swedish designers and if you ask me i already find it quite scary to drive on the road with trucks with drivers with me and if this thing is beyond me i'd be really scared so i don't think we will see this any time soon because as we all know from our computers from our smartphones it's all very nice when it works but

when it doesn't you have a problem and exactly where you coming from cotton to look like a giant vacuum cleaner tell me is it about building trust among fellow drivers among customers or or getting regulators on board as i alluded to. when i think getting regulators on board is one part of the deal and it's something that u.s. authorities seriously looking at some of these issues g.m. has brought forward a proposal and the regulators are. looking at that but i think bringing the customers on board is even more difficult i mean. it took some time for people to accept driverless transport when it came to rail transport and of course there are many more unknown things that can happen on a normal roads so i'm not really sure that people will trust these. these these

driverless buses anytime soon because if something goes wrong i'd rather negotiate with a bad driver than with a computer so what's the road ahead but we only ever see autonomous botha's taxis and and trucks like the one behind you bit never actually get a highway full of driverless cars as many are predicting. well i don't know i mean in the past people said you cannot drive with a train that's going over thirty kilometers an hour because the human body cannot cope with that people said you know man cannot fly and this all happened so yeah it might happen sometime in the future personally i think it would take the fun out of driving i mean it would be only about getting from a to b. but that's not what driving is all about right exactly catherine thank you very much for your analysis and thanks for popping into the show for us in detroit are

you as corresponding cost phenomena now you think in these high tech times some things would become obsolete you need to watch when you've got a smart phone but after a year and a half of fulling sales luxury boxes are experiencing an uptick. when it comes to watches there are still fans of analog design and many are prepared to reach deep into their wallets for it some of the most prestigious brands are currently featured at the geneva watchmaking show. customers come from all over the world. because you know i want to watch making is doing well overall the indicators are all good europe is strong china is coming back and so are the tourists the us is quite promising for distribution channels were a bit overloaded like that's now in secure shelters so we're in for a great year in twenty eight. denise richards shapiro. prices for luxury watches

can top one hundred thousand euros. still demand is rising. for swiss manufacturer of my piggy global sales rose twelve percent last year and could reach the one billion dollar mark this year the second hand market is also robust. it's a next big thing in the watch in this room. to secondhand sales we should look to the car industry where all the brands also sell their own secondhand cards until recently trade in secondhand watches was handled by others everyone is involved except for the brands themselves which i believe is commercial nonsense is not good enough. but new watches are still the mainstay and with consumer demand ticking over nicely luxury is still the watchword. face of sports news now what's happening over the tennis well we are going to take a look at some of the results banned from this year's a first tennis grand slam the australian open and novak djokovic progressing to the

next stage but he made far greater headlines before his match on tuesday as he held a meeting with his fellow male professionals to discuss forming a player's union and the need for increased prize money meanwhile world number two roger federer moved into the second round of beating bet and. a straight sets in the women's singles maria sharapova beat a german touch ana maria two years on from failing a drug test at the grand slam him out in melbourne. a bursa dortmund have unveiled their new signing switzerland defender. has joined from basel on a five year deal a country attended his first training session alongside workman striker here amberg obama young who was back on the pitch having been suspended by the club he had been dropped for the mill no draw with false over the weekend for missing a team meeting or court say arsenal want to sign him. officials in seoul have announced that north and south korea are applying to field

a joint women's ice hockey team at the winter olympics next month the most all requires i.o.c. approval but another stumbling block may be convincing the players. from enemies to teammates sunni's ice hockey players may find themselves on the same side it would be the first time the two koreas have created a joint and then picked team but with just over three weeks left on to the start of the chain games the move could backfire. south korea's american coach sarah mary says it could negatively impact the team's chemistry. does affect our players you know and when. it's hard because you know the players are in their spots they think they deserve to go to the olympics when you have people being added to the leader. it definitely affects them but we can't let it bother us but a solution could be on the horizon politicians are keen to make it work. for the

even him regarding the women's icici team the south korean players remain in the squad but we're discussing ways to expand the team's roster from twenty three. a common goal could unite even the p.s.s. of opponents. all right that car dash ians built a multimillion dollar empire thanks in part to flaunting themselves on social media it's a business model that's copied by one of the celebrities all over the world in tanzania the trend is frowned upon by the government it is taking measures to stop it let's bring in our social media editor calling us in for more on the story karl so no more sexy selfies in tanzania yeah i mean that's one way to put it the government they're targeting these high profile women that have a reputation for posting these sort of sexy selfies racy images on platforms like instagram. let's take a look at some of the women now that we're talking about these are really quite famous in tanzania this is sun choke she's

a self-proclaimed model and actress photos like these helped her build a following nearly half a million people follow her on instagram and we have an amber lulu another social media star there seven hundred fifty million followers arms are is on a fifty thousand followers on instagram almost a million these two women are now being directly targeted that's why we're showing them that they were reportedly added to a government watch list and this is part of now a broader government crackdown on these sorts of images not even really nude photos just kind of these racy images is the crackdown working it seems like it is you know clearly these photos are still out there but at least the government is kind of convincing these women to tone it down and in fact one social media star you can see or hear she was summoned by the government in person reportedly banned from posting on social media for six months and she was made to apologize for her actions in fact this is a statement that she gave to the media and her name is pretty kind she said i

apologize to all tanzanians for what i did i admit i made a mistake and i'm going to be a different pretty kind and abide by what society deems right now on that last point is worth mentioning and i mean society fairly conservative when it comes to these sorts of i mean nude photos so there is actually a. fair amount of support for what the government's doing here these are already far reaching measures when we're talking about social media presence presence but it goes beyond these revealing selfies as well it does and that's kind of the danger here a country under the president has really started to crack down and even late last year a very restrictive law was passed by the parliament and we can show you what that would do it's called the electronic and postal communications act it regulates online and social media content including bloggers and social media users it restricts indecent obscene hateful and extreme content that's really broad it's up to the government to kind of site but that means the punishments for violating it

are really harsh a minimum one year jail sentence and or a fine of around eighteen hundred euros eventually the act would require all content providers to register with the government and without that bias and you would not be allowed to post content so this really has some freedom of speech advocates there in that country quite worried not just about sexy selfies well we'd love for our viewers in tanzania to weigh in our twitter handle at news love to hear what they're thinking lassman our social media editor thanks very much for joining us mr dio. you're watching news still to come in chilling pope francis has expressed his pain and shame over a sexual abuse scandal in the catholic church protesters joined the crowds welcoming him will ask what impact the scandal has had on the church and surely. a memoir cove written by patrice colors one of the founders of the black lives matter movement in the us is being released worldwide today we'll have more about that from our culture that. will be back in just

a seventeen year old girl who managed to escape alerted authorities the parents are being held on charges of torture and child endangerment. pope francis is holding his first public mass in front of hundreds of thousands in the chilean capital santiago it is his first official visit to the country amid a trial the sexual abuse scandal that's cast a cloud over his trip just before the mass francis begged forgiveness for irreparable damage done to children who were sexually assaulted by priests and. that the scandal has greatly damaged the catholic church's image in the country and several churches were firebombed in the days leading up to the pope's visit and these are live pictures here of the pope holding mass group food was. and let's bring in his religious affairs correspondent martin with us here in studio hi martin why is this visit so important well essentially because the church has an image group inchy live and in south america the last time

a pope this it it was in ninety seven and that was open john paul the second essentially you know giving support or actually was quite clearly seen as an expression of support for then you know cheated was actually running the country in you know had brutal abuse of human rights so in a way i mean for the lift i mean she lays sort of them limited case in which the left does not trust the church and the church basically has to repaired as two men it's its image it is also in a way. the country that has one of the highest levels of eight days a month secularization in this in the region so in a way it ease a very good case for the church to make us to for this vatican for these folk to make us to a place where the church should be you mentioned pinochet at chalets dictator of nearly twenty years what was the church's relationship and she laid to that dictator well himself had an extremely extremely close relationship a friendship and you know mutual care so that all that was the nuns it

so he was them busser of the vatican in chief during the period of the of the military government and then eventually became. the secretary of state of the vatican this is a figure that in a way is seen as sort of the very very expression of the very close relation of the vatican of these very right wing all of the second vatican and many of the military governments around the region so it is very clear that given the amount of knowledge that was circulating about chilean abuse of human rights and that the ments made my many of the lift when charge it is very clear that this is a group or so that there was somebody that would. i've known about the things that were going on coming to the present day pope francis has unequivocally condemned abuse within the church and its institutions yet he appointed a one to a bishop position this is a man who protected

a priest who was found to have molested children how well he did he said something that we do not know for sure part of the problem is that but also as the night knowing anything about of the mass of uses now as to whether that was the case or not we don't know but most likely is something that should be investigated what does fall on the church i mean this what the church does have a responsibility for is basically to allowed to bring this to justice so you know as far as sort of a political operation goes it clearly was not a felicitous idea to give support to bottles but this is something that clearly is being seen by much of the of the critical mass. and a continuation of the very bad policies in relation to children abuse in chile due to these religious affairs correspondent martin got on the pope's visit to chile martin thank you pleasure now palestinian leaders have voted to suspend ties with israel the palestinian liberation organization's central council

announced that it will no longer adhere to existing agreements with israel including the awful peace accords the council is the second highest decision making body in the palestinian territories it wants israel to recognize a palestinian state the meeting came in response to u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. while israel's ambassador to the u.k. mark raghav has been speaking to conflict zone tim sebastian put it to him that poverty among palestinians is much higher than among israelis including in east jerusalem which is controlled by israel here's what he said. the fact that the religious sites of all faiths are for the first time or thomas lee administered by their own respective religious communities that the freedom of worship is in shrines in israeli law that is something that i believe israel deserves credit for that i actually let it get so but i come back to this question which you don't want to know how why did you let it get so bad i thought actually if you look at the

situation in the arab neighborhoods of the city you'll see that there are gaps that need to be narrowed but compare them to arabs in other parts of the middle east or even the post in turkey as you see there are considerably better. while you can see the full conflicts on interview with the israeli ambassador to the u.k. starting tomorrow wednesday right here on q. and of course on dot com. now here in germany the leader of the social democrats martin short's is looking to win over the party's grassroots to the idea of another grand coalition with chance i'm going marcos conservative party delegates must grant their approval to enter talks around forming a new government at a party summit on sunday a child's faces a hard sell skeptics are saying it betrays a social democratic values so he has traveled to the party's heartland in an effort to win their support. welcome to daughter historically a bastion of the social democrats but many have lost the appetite for

a grand coalition saying the party's losing sight of its aims these are. these are the path of social justice is over and i can see that it's now more about careers and clinging on to seats. while this diner is selling covey of wasn't as the daily done much in shreds as telling the exploratory talks as a success but it's not easy to convince party members to support a new coalition especially here in north rhine-westphalia. we've clarified many things there were lots of question as our members really welcomed the discussion and i think there was a lot of reflection. and i think. that many still think the s.p.d. is making too many concessions even after the talks the party seems split off as if the issues of citizens insurance work contracts reform and raising the top income tax rate are all missing from the current blueprint these are key s.p.v.

issues so i don't know if members will be convinced. yet. many say it's important to take on the responsibility of government but others say the conservative bloc will damage the s.p.d. in government and so right now we need to weigh up the options and that's a serious and difficult process the party's national representatives will decide on sunday whether to open formal coalition talks north rhine-westphalia will contribute to more than a quarter of the votes. all right ben is back with us now and bennett the biggest airline of last year was turkish airlines it's reclaim the top spot over competitors look at emirates new figures show it carried more passengers than any other carrier in twenty seventeen sixty nine million passengers for the turkish last year a bump of nine percent on the year before. ferried sixty six million while emirates counted fifty nine million it's an impressive rebound for turkish especially after

fierce competition from low cost airlines and a tense political situation in turkey both of which have hurt the carrier in recent years. a global tourism boom is showing no signs of slowing the number of international tourists surged by seven percent last year reaching an estimated one point three billion who wants to spend their holidays at home many. friends will remain the most popular tourism destination according to the united nations world tourism organization but spain could be set to replace the u.s. in the number two position with more than eighty million visitors last year a deadly terror attack in august and the political crisis and cut alone don't appear to have dented spain's overall tourist figures. that's not the case for the us politics affected international visitor numbers which dropped five percent early last year following the inauguration of donald trump but things

a boding well for countries in other regions europe continues to receive the highest number of international tourists six hundred and seventy one million in two thousand and seventeen asia and the pacific recorded three hundred twenty four million international visitors and africa and the middle east combined came in at one hundred thirty million visitors. europe and africa had the highest growth rates of eight percent followed by asia in the pacific. with a six percent growth this is the highest annual growth rate in seven years the agency said this was mostly due to global economic upswing in that it expects growth to continue in twenty eighteen or more sustainable pace of around four percent tourism is one of the world's leading export sectors so the growth is welcome news it could lead to more job creation in trouble and hospitality in destination countries. back in the sixties and seventies the somali and capital

mogadishu was known as the white pole of the indian ocean a decades of civil war have destroyed the economy now the country is trying to bring build its tourism sector. this is not the picture that most people in the west have of somalia. conflicts and terrorism of the past decades have shaped the image of the east african country. last october attacks by islamist militants killed hundreds of people in the capital mogadishu a few foreign tourists venture into the country of the still torn by civil war the hostile almost talking. not somalis not so modest not somalis the muslim people most of them european forty that was the number of international customers he had in twenty seventeen the somali government wants to rebuild the tourism sector last year the country joined the un world tourism organization their regular flights to

mogadishu's international airport somalis ready to welcome the world somalia is. in the developing stage somalia is ready to host the events on the conference's you know part of the continent and globally. but the beauty of the country is overshadowed by the tense security situation many governments warn their citizens against traveling in somalia and a holiday here isn't for bargain hunters a double room in a good hotel costs two hundred euros a night a comparable stay in egypt just fifty euros. to ecuador now for a look at the life of a man who's one of the current band he's the last of the ice merchants of ecuador's highest peak his back breaking work as a source of joy for local people and it's just earned him an honorary honorary doctorate for leadership take a look. twice a week but as our sets out to scale the highest mountain in ecuador jim but also.

it's rush hour of sorts in the village of putting tea at the foot of the dormant in the andes. but as our own has been practicing the profession since he was fifteen. back then he had to rent the donkey's he used to reach trick but a few years ago he received three is a gift from a local t.v. station. each of my friends here as a native so i don't forget them. we didn't saw on. to the people here jim but also is more than just a six thousand three hundred metre high full kaino. many revere and as

a spiritual force. it's a difficult journey. the higher he goes the thinner the air and as climate change melts away the glacier but as a has to climb higher to find the precious ice. eventually as the donkey's tire barges are has to make the final stretch on foot. he still uses the same technique that previous size merchants. did two hundred years ago. and it is you think would climb up here in large groups and sell their ice across the country. now. it is the only arrow that. refrigerators might have made his job

largely redundant but to bad design they could never match genuine glacial ice. that use this ice for things like cooling fish or making fruit juices and popsicles it's special one of a kind. yes. on each trip up the mountain bikers are extracts six months of pure pleasure vice. each flock weighs around forty kilograms feels is grass to pack them up and keep them insulated for.

the return journey down the mountain this time around ford takes another four hours . but he's not done yet after arriving at the village but as our continues on to the provincial capital. where the ice at the market. but as our earns five dollars for each blocky sells. he uses part of his earnings to pay for the car he has to rent to get to the market. jim but also province is well known for its rich cultural traditions and his own to

a very sort of poor area of los angeles and experienced first time please put the brutality against the community i mean the book tells her story and the story of her community and her existed in sort of constant fear of the local police force today i should say for trees cause the fulbright scholars she teaches in a school of design in a suburb of los angeles and i should just explain the title of the book it's that still sort of a reference to a couple of years ago of twenty sixteen when some right wing politicians in america and some of the right wing. media were calling black math a terrorist group anyway let's find out more about the book about patrice cuz. the book is a journey into a world unfamiliar to most white americans patrice colors tells about more than

growing up poor she describes the daily humiliations and accusations by police and she takes us back to the time when the first bush administration launched its war on drugs patrice and her community experienced it as a war against the poor and people of color we don't have a park or a neighborhood so the alley way was our park and you know law enforcement was poor everybody over ask people to you know but i have a wall take put put your pockets out the shirt. and they would stop and frisk back then we were children eleven year olds twelve thirteen year old. patrice describes experiencing police officers as the enemy searching her house on a regular basis criminalizing her friends and relatives her mentally ill brother is imprisoned rather than given psychiatric treatment her father also spends half his life in jail prison guards humiliate those who visit her for patrice it's all part

of a racist system and if you will see her activism i've been impacted by growing up in poverty i've been deeply impacted by witnessing over policing and over incarceration in my neighborhood i don't my community and i'm deeply impacted by having some of the closest people in my family be taken from me be abuse humiliated be tortured by the state patrice has plans for the future of black lives matter forty regional organizations now work locally to fight police violence and racism it's a young ambitious movement in which a lot of white people are also active and which almost defiantly resists the forty fifth u.s. president donald trump who patrice doesn't refer to by name but by the number forty five. we need more than black people to show up for black lives that impact when we when we free black people when we. really deal with the issues that plague black communities and we take a hard look at it we build a new policies and practices and we transform this government we set the ground for

everybody else to get a little bit more free and when we don't all come together to fight for black lives we get something like forty five. many people may find the current political situation in the us depressing but activist patrice colors inspires courage. and her book being released a day after the u.s. was celebrating martin luther king day yeah this is seen as the black lives matter movement as a rekindling if you will of the one thousand nine hundred civil rights movement but many in the black community say even after eight years of having a black president conditions haven't changed much well it seems they haven't we need more people out of trees colors i think is more awareness today perhaps of the problem with with with social media and with small phones we hear and see more miscarriages of justice and this awareness is if you like being seen as

well in in the movies in subject matter in the movies lots of movies touch on the subject matter in recent years i mean i'll just give one example was last year's movie detroit that kathryn bigelow movie which was based on the real story of the riots back in one nine hundred sixty seven fifty years ago nearly fifty one years ago of course let's just look at a small will seem from that illustrates this where the police a crack questioning a black security officer from the algae is my child now this is where the some of the shootings took place the black security officers played by john boy yeah good people know him from star wars and how they twist everything about. when the three key is a big deal we have these conversations we do them in stages. stage

one witnesses. stage two says back. with. you know it's a very good reasons for. going stage two. there's a bad seed a twisting everything around as a security guard is meant to be on the side as such but they would not last that to a white security guy i think but i mean admittedly that's a movie i very powerful. colors book is that coming out today it is all over the world is coming out today when they call you a terrorist a black large mass a memoir looks like a good read all right i meant it more on the website d.w. dot com slash robin merrill our culture editor thank you very much. and a reminder now of our top stories that we're following at this hour a tough serb politician has been gunned down in kosovo all over it was
