7:10 pm
. well we expect to learn a lot more on the news conference this morning i guess he used to be an engineer with an aerospace company and that their kids may have been home schooled but neighbors are still reacting they can't believe that this happened in the neighborhood their campus and if you know this is an average middle class neighborhood it's a bunch of new houses tract homes nice neighborhood nice and neat home used to be a model home it was one of the homes you go to when you go and look to buy one of the houses there and the deputy sad the conditions inside were deplorable when they got there thousand mellowing kids shackled to their bad and the neighbors can't believe this was going on under their noses and what about contact with the old farts as the council's police and social services you call have thirteen children and nobody notice well that's another good question the neighbors say they almost never saw them and they never saw all thirteen at the same time they
7:11 pm
see a couple here and a couple there but they also say they didn't know anything was was going on they didn't know anything was wrong so as one neighbor just put it to me a few minutes because the interviewing neighbor who said how are we supposed to know what's going on behind closed doors we couldn't have known that. and this is as you say this is a middle class neighborhood this didn't happen in the middle of nowhere so aside from the the shock of surprise that it's happened a tool as most people now are wondering well could this be happening next door to me. right and that's what that's why did neighbors are so shocked it's like this in my neighborhood this neighborhood this is a nice neighborhood this doesn't happen here you know and people are raising the question how could no one have known this i had a pastor tell me people here don't even know their neighbors and he said we're in he said in his own neighborhood everybody knows each other and they watch out
7:12 pm
for each other but he says it's pretty typical that people don't even know who lives next door and they don't know the people at all and this is why stuff like this happens bed next news radio los angeles thank you so much all right. france's president emanuel mccraw has been addressing security forces in the northern front port city of cali he talked about migration policy including plans to create a better system for people entering the country a speech came days ahead of a meeting in britain to discuss border controls between those two countries early on tuesday president macro visited a migrant center where he spoke with staff and asylum seekers is promised to speed up the processing of asylum applications and to ensure that people who are unsuccessful adults with more firmly. in germany the number of registered asylum seekers fell sharply in twenty seventeen down by a third on the previous year to under two thousand but interior minister thomas de
7:13 pm
magazine said the number was still too high it had still had much to do to integrate new arrivals and address what he said were high levels of criminality amongst asylum seekers germany's interior minister thomas to mishear praised the country's refugee office for enormous achievement introduce the processing time for asylum applications from several years to two months and eliminated a huge case backlog but the main reason was a sharp drop in the number of migrant arrivals that of course means far fewer asylum applications. in two thousand and fifteen at the height of the migration crisis around eight hundred ninety thousand people applied for asylum in germany in two thousand and sixteen two hundred eighty thousand applied and last year it was one hundred eighty six thousand. easy. the crisis of the extremely high numbers of twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen has been overcome. but the
7:14 pm
larger challenges for germany in relation to the refugee issue those have not been overcome they are evident if you look at integration and it's evident in crime statistics as well as costs that you see the side of the gov because dimiss here said forty percent of migrants enter germany via austria last year the rest suddenly appeared in the country and registered with the authorities a clear indication that human traffickers were involved the far right alternative for germany party skeptical. people often the good we still have open borders so anyone with or without a passport can come here like they did in two thousand and fifteen i'd like to see the real numbers of people entering this country germany's left party also says the minister is presenting a distorted picture. due to the many deficiencies in the refugee office's processing of asylum applications the final decision winds up in the hands of

increasingly overburdened courts the courts have been flooded with formal complaints by rejected asylum seekers authorities say twenty three percent of them succeed in getting the decisions overturned. still to come. britain don't leave us you can still say they say their chances of success we'll find out from our correspondent to the european parliament in strasburg. how to take some just moments to share a video but thousand youngsters in denmark of finding out that he could have devastating consequences when that video is pornographic. but how about a car that does everything without a driver a city with a business unit. thank you so much dr. talking about the latest benefactress at the treat detroit motor show analysts say the future is here regulators say well not quite yet carefully and responsibly if you what's on offer
7:16 pm
so is technology 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 light 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. i promise 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 and trains and all those infrastructure things as well because it's not just about automakers technology. is also continuing its focus on autonomous vehicles in detroit unveiling its x motion concept car featuring what they call a 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
7:17 pm
as glitzy but right here in options like this bus might be the real future of driverless tech. try to 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 first all business model for acquiring transportation change. self driving ride sharing analysts say would be a development that could change the car industry as we know it. and at the detroit motor show for us right now is carsten phenomenal correspondent cars and then all of this actually become reality what are the main challenges. i think the biggest challenge is the trust of ordinary people in that technology i mean we all know that computers helpful and necessary but we also know how frustrating it is when they fail when the technology doesn't work and of course if
7:18 pm
you have a car that is driven by a computer that is even more important now i sometimes get nervous when i'm on the road and there's a big truck with the driver coming behind me but now imagine this coming from behind and you see that in your rearview mirror this clearly no driver is just as big machine coming here and i have no idea how that is supposed to work properly and safely but thank god there is someone who can rub it followed is here the co-founder and c.e.o. of enron it's a swedish company that developed this truck so how does this work with all of the drive is actually a combination of different techniques this is cell phone technology and remote so we're actually using different later systems than to actually create a system second actually replaced the truck driver. right and what happens when the technology fails we have a combination of self driving so when the cell from him can solve the problems it's
7:19 pm
the aftermath removed and connects to the remote so we actually get the driver in and reap the benefits of sense trying to acknowledge me and well as human decision making so there's a human fallback option that someone from headquarters can steer this ok so when do we see this on the road how long will it take to get this on the road really very doing testings right now and the first installation of customers is you mean do it during q. free this year so this year this truck or the some of these trucks will be on the roads in sweden and actually working yes and we are installing the first ones as our customers and they will be able to provide transport back and forth between two warehouses that we're actually using and installing right now thank you robert so expect a truck like this on the road near to you any time soon funny cause looking into the future other brands looking into that future for example v.w.
7:20 pm
in order to sort of polish their sort of destroyed image in the united states. what are they doing to promote their brand. well basically folksong in particular is emphasizing that they have learned a lesson that they want to be a reliable partner for customers in the u.s. actually folks long is already apparently on a very good way because they're one of the few car companies that actually has a rise in say that it's in the last you know five percent more in the slightly decreasing market so they're quite optimistic and so are most german companies here because they feel that these are gate is no longer a big topic here and most customers believe in german quality and german innovations to cause the phenomena thank you so much for your reporting from detroit. and staying with cars france's p.s.a. is riding high after announcing final sales numbers for twenty seventeen or post

7:22 pm
a democracy we hear on the continent haven't had a change of heart our hearts are still open. thank. you it's a beautiful thing let's get more from v.w. correspondent mark kauffman in strasbourg welcome max i was britain's prime minister it's the reason i reacted to donald talks charming of official word from downing street was quite swift and said basically one thing there will not be a second referendum so that's that fair enough so does the it's so that the e.u. really think that britain would change its mind about bret's it. well it's kind of a bizarre way how this whole discussion came about it started basically with nigel for raj who was the head of the ukip parties of the party who pushed for braggs it was instrumental in having the referendum and eventually the no votes so that the
7:23 pm
leave vote in that and that breaks that referendum himself called for a second referendum now his official explanation is that he thinks that this will cement this decision and make it very clear that there is no majority for remain in the united kingdom and he was walking around the corridors earlier here at the european parliament at strasburg and said yes sir i still stand behind that but of course the officials in brussels like you council president and that you commission president that we just heard in that sound bite before our little talk here thought this might be an opening to actually really have a second referendum and they would think that this would lead to a completely different result than the first referendum we live in interesting times as i say britain is going through something of a political process who knows who will be in charge next week that is speculate how would any potential exit from brett sit. that's
7:24 pm
not entirely clear because it's been never done first of all this article has never been triggered and of course it's never been taken back either now some lawyers say it cannot be taken back that the brits actually started a process that will eventually lead on the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen to the exit of the european yacht union this is unstoppable but others argue sure it can be stopped just the way it was the way it was started by the by the u.k. the united kingdom writing a letter to the european council and they would have to take back in probably unanimity this decision but one thing's for sure this will be in the end if it really happens which is unlikely at the moment i just want to remind everybody this would require some kind of political decisions by the other member states and if this does not happen before the twenty ninth of march two thousand and eighteen so a little more than one year's time it will not happen. between now and then max
7:25 pm
we'll we'll wait and we will watch and see much often in strasburg thank you. members of the european parliament have also been debating the iran nuclear deal u.s. president donald trump and dos the deal last week despite saying that he wanted to withdraw from it but he says it house flaws that must be addressed about four thousand kilometers lie between proselyte and tehran but in recent weeks the islamic republic has felt much closer iranian exiles fly the flag of the previous the iranian government in protest over the current regime. they want to make on kalam situation for the neighbors inside afghanistan inside to syria inside iraq. and all the terrorists the groups like hezbollah in lebanon they help them by their money of the iranian people both the e.u. and the us also regarding iranian ties to militant groups that's particularly
7:26 pm
problematic at a meeting with iran's foreign minister in brussels the e.u. made clear that it believes these controversial issues should be kept separate from a discussion of the nuclear deal which president trump would like to renegotiate i think perhaps the president for court there it took several years to come to this state of the agreement and in his perspective perhaps he thinks he came to this in one week and this is really a knife it means renegotiation means to stop it and we don't know when the next will come despite numerous problems such as iran's human rights record european lawmakers in strasbourg are convinced that terror on is abiding by the terms of the nuclear deal we're happy to have this agreement that we negotiated for more than a decade and i would in comparison with other areas like the korean peninsula i would not like to see us in a comparable situation with iran as we find ourselves with north korea where we all
7:27 pm
seem to be at the brink off of a nuclear problem for the e.u. keeping the uranium nuclear program in check removes a serious threat a threat that's four thousand kilometers away that's right in europe spec yard. you're watching day w. news live from boston still to come it takes just moments to share a video but a thousand youngsters a deadlock a fight here but it could have to have a stage in consequence history but not video is pornographic. a memoir co-written by patrice colors one of the founders of the black lives matter movement in the united states is being released worldwide today more about that from our culture anderson. i don't forget you can always get the w. news on the go back up you can get access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push their vacations i mean breaking the ins could also use a d.w.i. up to set the site your photos i'm videos just downloaded from google all from big

7:31 pm
a thousand young people mostly teenagers could face charges of distributing child pornography after they shared video clips of two fifteen year olds having sex then it's police launched the investigation after a tip up from a tip off from social media giant facebook anyone found guilty would face a fine jail as well as being put on a child pornography register. it took just a few seconds to share the video the young people who did so never imagined how serious the consequences would be. i am shocked and i also think it is strange that only one thousand people are being charged that it is not many more because there are so many who have the video there could be many more people charged for this i don't think it's fair if it is only this handful who are convicted when so many others are involved. investigators say the
7:32 pm
scale of the case is unprecedented most of the suspects are under twenty five years old they was given i'm sorry it may be a crime but they can have adult consequences if you are convicted of distributing child pornography or you will have a criminal record and it will appear on the background check if you want to work with children that could have some ugly consequences for many jobs in denmark we need to have a clean record of jobs. but the ramifications are also far reaching for the victims in the case the young couple featured in the video. the young people who were fifteen at the time the video was made have tried to put it behind them but they're reminded of it on a regular basis they'd like to forget about it but they can't so we must at least make sure they feel they're being taken seriously. the danish government wants the case to send a clear message i hope but i hope this could be
7:33 pm
a wake up call for many young people to say it's illegal and not acceptable what we have seen is deplorable. if convicted the defendants could appear on the child pornography register for ten years. so how did facebook do it how did they know through some aka is and is a motherboard the tech and science platform from five welcome to d.w. let's start there than those videos were shared on facebook messenger how did facebook know that they were child porn well we don't actually know how faithful found out about this particular material being on the surface the what we do know is that a facebook handle complains about pornographic or phonograph of mine or on the platform and they outsource of to a particular n.-g. o. which they are legally complied to in the us this n.g.o.s for misplaced missing or exploited children and they have a corporation with europol so they knew that there were danish people in this video
7:34 pm
and so they handed over this entire data to europol which in turn gave it over to the cyber crime units in denmark which sparked of all of these one thousand instance but these videos all shared on facebook they have a particular id so facebook is really it is really easy to find out if one link has been shared and other people share this link if that is the same video shows sort of the same shape ok so we can speculate that if no one had complained facebook would have been none the wiser exactly. how much so you've given an idea then you give us an idea that it takes someone to complain before before facebook takes that if somebody complains facebook sends this out and they they they have these people doing that so this goes across not just not just messenger but across the facebook platform itself it's kind of the it's kind of one of the founding principles of facebook itself and one that they always fall back to whenever somebody says please
7:35 pm
do something against hate hate speech and so on as long as nobody complains about something that clearly violence the community standards everything is fine but it within facebook messenger it's box a different. discussion because something shared on facebook messenger is being considered by i think many use this as something that is a private discussion or a private conversation it is not been it has not been posted publicly so somebody complained about something being shared directly to them by a conversation and facebook admits that they can actually decrypt encrypted facebook messenger messages and read them and analyze them and potentially spark an investigation ok so this is all ended up in the lap of the danish police how did they find out who was distributing it in front of us is pretty easy we want you to go over names yeah europol has
7:36 pm
a portal cold serious since october two thousand and seventeen and it is basically a system that is in place to facilitate access from law enforcement to the use of dr of social media platforms and so facebook basically has an interface with europol so in europe or has a collected investigation they can just facebook to give out names and this is what made this entire investigation for the danish police easier because they know that this video circulated around on the net since two thousand and fifteen they just couldn't place who actually distributed it but it was shared worldwide to new zealand and to australia so we see here in europe a push for increased moderation of social media and. if that happens i guess we're going to see more of these sorts of cases yes but moderation is in my opinion
7:37 pm
is good where it's public when something is publicly posted and everybody can see it and everybody has access to it i think there is a case to be made for moderation i personally think that something that is shared in. private messages is not exactly facebook's we are to regulate it would be just like imagine you're on g. mail and you write huge email for an offensive email and that somebody senshi you this is not a platform that has a common ground philosophical debates to be had but not here not now but now. palestinian leaders are voted to suspend ties with israel a palestinian liberation organization central council announced that it will no longer here two existing agreements with israel including the oslo 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 was held in response to u.s.

president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. israel's ambassador to the united kingdom are greg has been speaking to interviews conflicts tim sebastian put it to him that poverty amongst palestinians is much higher than amongst israelis including east jerusalem which is controlled by israel. the fact that the religious sites of all faiths are for the first time autonomously 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 and i eventually let it get so but i come back to this question which you don't want to know how do you answer why did you let it get so bad i probably 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 in the past in turkey to see that they are considerably better. things have a full comfort zone interview with newsroom here ambassador to the united kingdom

seven hundred fifty thousand followers but these are two of the women that are really being targeted for kind of expressing their sexuality on on social media they're even now added to government watch list and they're being directly targeted they were they are part of a bigger crackdown to do what the government says is protect moral standards and values intends on the in society so with pleasure is what this is one of the i go around the houses what are they doing well i mean you're added to a list in fact we have actually a good example here name is pretty candid she's another one of these are pretty kind i'm sorry another one of these social media stars well she was summoned by the government reportedly banned from posting on social media for six months and she was made to apologize for her actions and this is the statement that she gave to the media media pretty kind said that she apologizes to all tenants for what she did she says i admit i made a mistake and i'm going to be a different pretty kind in a bike by what society deems is right now in
7:45 pm
a point it's interesting we really have to mention you know tens and in society is fairly more conservative when it comes to issues like this nudity or posting these sort of pictures so there is actually more support than you might think for the government's actions and turns in terms of cracking down on this kind of stuff and it's not just revealing still visit no i mean this has to be put into a broader context and there's a much bigger crackdown right now under the government of the president. in fact there's another law amendment to a law that was just passed by parliament late last year and this has much bigger implications for what people can do online is called the electronic and postal communications act here's the basics fill it would regulate online and social media content that includes bloggers and social media. there's it restricts indecent obscene hateful and extreme content but that's a pretty broad context the government can kind of decide what things fit into those categories punishments would be pretty harsh minimum of
7:46 pm
a one year jail sentence and or a fine of up to around two thousand euros and eventually this act would require all content providers or people that create content to register with the government and if you didn't have one of these licenses you wouldn't be able or allowed to post anything online so not maybe just protecting morality but also part of this bigger restriction on what you can do online and tanzania sort of who would be the license the the poster all the organization the person creating the content of this goes not only for going to like a do a dodge of l a but also if you wanted to so instagram wanted to operate in tanzania it would need a license written for the companies but if you feel wanted to post sexy photos you would need a license if this is said in the interview but this is where. regardless of what you think about what they do it is kind of picking on the easy target rather than take on the multi million dollar super global organization that is actually doing this in your country they choose the easy target the women in the country say like
