a father talks to do donkey about his hopes all of the future in an exclusive interview. plus a journey to the longest on the war sick kids on the planet we traveled down to east to mexico crude look into the submerged cabins relieving trains traces of an ancient civilization. welcome i'm on the thought she made good to have you with us. the evas been slammed for its treatment of migrants and asylum seekers the new human rights watch report highlights europe's efforts to prevent fresh arrive with a two thousand and seventeen and it criticizes the union for its reliance of non e.u. countries to stem the flow of people reaching europe the number of migrant arrivals by sea was down in two thousand and seventy by about fifty percent as you see but

the report says the mediterranean remain deadly nearly three thousand people died or were missing towards the end of last year human rights watch says the member states of took in the largest number of arrivals were shunned by the remainder of the union as a whole asylum seekers will return to italy and to greece out of the dublin regulation which states that the fullest country of entry must take over all responsibility for the arrival in summer two thousand and seventeen germany officially suspended such returns and a number of other e.u. states followed suit kenneth roth is the executive director of human rights watch he lost the world reports two thousand and eighteen in paris on thursday emphasizing that the rise of populism was to blame for many human rights violations have a listen the rise of the populace was very much a response to. grievances the people had they felt left behind economically they

were complaining about economic inequality many people dislike the cultural shifts associated with migration some people fear terrorism and what the authoritarian populists did is take the grievances and scapegoat. is to say it's the migrants who are at fault to see asylum seekers it's the refugees and that effort to sort of. minority for people surely. is to arise a populist. and to talk more about this issue i'm joined now by andrew stroller. he's the european media director for human rights watch he joins me from paris where the world report two thousand and eighteen was not welcome and are not as cut populist hostile to human rights are shaping politics how has this impacted the e.u. and governments. well twenty seventeen has been a really interesting year for how the so called refugee crisis has developed and

how it has impacted on politics really throughout the e.u. and throughout the western world more widely i think we've seen some really worrying trends and how certain xenophobic populist politicians have been able to. take people's fears and really convert that into a deeper fear and in some cases outright hatred towards outsiders or people perceived as outsiders they goes beyond refugees immigrants and asylum seekers it goes on it goes into deeper into this our idea of people who have been there for years and sometimes decades a lot of the central issues mentioned in your report is shifting responsibility for asylum seekers and refugees outside the borders of europe one of the problems with this with this approach. yes the e.u. and many of its member states have this idea of sort of outsourcing what they see as the problem. there's two main areas where they're doing this one is in the

mediterranean and with libya. hoping that the libyan coast guard will do what they can to do and won't do and european forces can't do and won't do by law and shouldn't do by law anyway that means that the libyan coast guard will then pick up people off boats and bring them back to libya where they faced her run this abuses and i think you know everyone will be aware of what's happening in libya in terms of. outright slavery in some of markets sexual abuse is just what people are being sent back to there is appalling. and it shouldn't it shouldn't happen so that you wouldn't be allowed to do that do that under law and the house hoping that you know the libyan coast guard will do their dirty work for the thank you going to put suggest this turkey has seen and know the setback in terms of human rights what are some of your conclusions on this. yeah will be others and the other the other the other side of it was turkey where i got in with

an evil turkey deal that was made between brussels and i car. in march twenty the scene sending the idea that the asylum seekers would be sent back or that migrants if you sent back to turkey which is really it has just undergone a human rights crisis i would call it thrust twenty seventeen you know in the in the in the aftermath of the failed coup we saw the president ramping up a tremendous crackdown on everybody on journalists on academics on dissidents on opposition politicians i mean you know it it's just it's one of those situations where you just wonder how far are they going to go how many thousands of people are arrested and have lost their jobs or been pushed out of their jobs by this by this political crackdown it's really quite extraordinary and restraint on the european

media director of human rights watch in paris thank you very much for talking to d.w. i do very much. as he had to he faces intense criticism for violating human rights including a crackdown on journalists the german tech is john this dennis you chill was put in jail last year his case triggered a serious rift between germany and tekkie the two countries are now trying to repair their relations off their first bilateral talks in months the some reports suggest that germany could end on zimbabwe's slapped on korea after addressed but the genesis he does not want to gain his freedom as a spot of any potential what he called dirty deals. from his prison cell in turkey denise you chel said he rejected any trade off that would see him released in exchange for new arms sales to turkey. he told the german d.p.a. news agency for my part i don't want my freedom tainted either by the sale of tanks

or by the deeds of any war mongers i don't want to be a part of any dirty deals you tell was responding to an interview a news magazine desh spiegel with the german foreign minister. in it get real vowed to block a major arms sales to turkey he said quote it will stay that way as long as the u. chel case remains unresolved. rejected you chose characterization of the talks between the two countries. what is a dirty deal if it's a deal that you wouldn't dare tell the public about there's a tit for tat arrangement if that's not the case here. on monday you kells lawyer filed a motion with the turkish constitutional court calling for him to be freed the country's foreign minister. said he hoped you charles release was imminent. many people.

a disguise for cargo police in portugal and spain have seized more than seven hundred kilograms of cocaine hidden inside the foods they arrested nine members of the international gang that had shipped the drugs from south america. telling of the legal battles of a teenager who's become the symbol of palestinian resistance and israeli military judges deny to sixteen year old ahead tamimi he ordered that she be held until her cry for slapping two israeli soldiers in the west bank a video of the incident has gone viral and door to merely to international attention rights groups of course for the girls release her father spoke exclusively to d.w. from ramallah about the case. this is the video that provoked a social media storm a palestinian girl slapping and kicking and israeli soldier the incident followed

what israel says was a stone throwing assault on its troops. the girl is sixteen year old i head to mimi and she's become an icon of the palestinian resistance. this soldier is a symbol for the occupation that has taken our land our country and killed our people since the december incident our head has been in custody and being charged with twelve counts including assault and incitement now she could face a lengthy jail sentence. head is from a well known activist family in the west bank and is no stranger to confrontation in two thousand and twelve she was filmed hitting a soldier in ramallah and three years later she was pictured biting another soldier as he tried to arrest her brother her detention has sparked protests at home and around the world with rights groups saying that as a child it is not justified. for many israelis though the teenager is

a provocateur. one senior israeli minister said the detention of our head and her mother must sudden example they should finish their lives in prison he said the pictures are harsh i trust that the incident will be investigated and the lessons will be learned amnesty international says israel currently holds around three hundred fifty palestinian children in detention and that hundreds of mine is a prosecuted every year meanwhile critics of the palestinian say many of these youngsters are being exploited for political propaganda. if anyone guarantee me they it's an arab country an international body or anyone from my government anyone if anyone guaranteed me that the occupation would be gone in one two three or even five years i would rather teach my daughter to. germany the netherlands and belgium have issued warnings as a powerful winter storm dubbed fifth rica makes landfall today the dutch weather

service recorded winds gusting up to one hundred forty kilometers an hour on the coast and this was the scene at answer sheeple airport earlier today all flights were suspended at the peak of the storm the national rail service also halted trains across the netherlands earlier today the storm crossed britain leaving much of scotland covered in snow and thousands of homes without electricity. you're watching the news coming up ahead author of decades of exploration researches can finally confirm this is the was along with known underwater caves we show you what has been discovered in its depths. but first it's not there to welcome our nickel and there's some good news finally for us exactly and it comes somewhat as a surprise rita emirates airlines has announced it would buy twenty eight three eighty super jumbos with an option of sixteen more and that deal is with sixteen

billion dollars it comes as a big relief for the european aircraft maker because eliot this week apple c.e.o. john levy had admitted the a three eighty program would have to be discontinued if a deal with dubai based didn't happen soon on the a three eighty the largest passenger plane in the world has proven to be too big for many carriers turning apis proud this project into something of a nightmare for the company. but looks like that nightmare is over at least for the time being let's find out what's in store for the future of the a three eighty coast of course my colleague and our very own aviation guru is here with me in the studio is the f.a.a. to protect saved well that's the way john lee put it at least for the next ten years and some years more up until the twenty's thirty's the project will be continued as he said without the emirates deal you mentioned that production may

have been discontinued as early as twenty twenty four if not earlier due to possible cancellation of orders so indeed this is a much more positive outlook we have to bear in mind that airbus has already scaled down production. to fifteen planes last year twelve this year nine next year so the curve is declining here all in hopes of stretching the timeframe of production in order to get your orders. really a slow seller and the interesting thing is i mean i remember reporting on it just a few days ago that any of its was due to signed that deal a couple of months ago and didn't and now it does with this change of heart coming from well america didn't give a specific reason here but we have to keep in mind this deal is worth a reported sixteen billion dollars but have you rebates are much a common thing in this sort of business so we can assume that. a much less hefty or price tag may be attached to the deal now also emirates had made it

a condition that the engines of the a three eighty and may may be updated to be less if you consuming we have not gotten any information weather has obliged here but it is a fact that emirates is the most important customer to airbus when it comes to the east really. more more than one hundred of the delivered a three eighty s around the world have gone to the emirates out of the two hundred twenty four that were all delivered but this shows that being reliant on one major customer is only another lie a lot of pressure is not a comfortable position to be it never is but one has to say that investor certainly welcoming that a deal as soon as news came out as sort some three percent as far as i know that's a record high for those shares so that's good news. nevertheless i'm confident that was a three eighty is

a slow seller why do so few customers like it well the idea behind the a three eighty was to run it on roads routes between big transporting a lot of people between shanghai and new york for example or london and new york and these these kind of places but it turns out this this was a misconception of the future of using market because many people want direct flights even from smaller. airports to other destinations so what. have resorted to now is running long distance planes that arsenal were smaller yes but that can go direct race and they also have only two engines would certainly easier to maintain and cheaper to operate so that's those are the reasons why these three eighty has not really caught on and so it seems that some fine tuning is still necessary there for the a three eighty s. of course thank you so much for this fight for

years apple and other major u.s. companies have waited for washington to lower corporate tax so that they could bring their overseas and ings back to the us well now it's happened to us president on a trump's tax reform apple is one of the big win us off the reform it's bringing two hundred fifty two billion dollars in overseas cash back to the united states that is by the way more than the g.d.p. off portugal in one year and it looks like the u.s. economy is set to benefit it could be one of the biggest money transfers in the world take giant apple is moving two hundred fifty two billion dollars from the product to the u.s. the company is set to face a tax bill of a whopping thirty eight billion dollars sounds like a lot but apple is actually saving money on the transaction a year ago it would have had to pay more than double that amount and apple c.e.o. tim cook says the company is proud to build on its long history of support for the

u.s. economy. now the eiffel makers planing investments worth billions in the u.s. it will build a new campus and hopes to create twenty thousand jobs. most of the money apple is moving comes from ireland where corporate tax rates are even lower but efforts by the e.u. to harmonize corporate taxes across the bloc have made the situation uncertain so a recent reduction of u.s. corporate taxes from thirty five to twenty one percent is more attractive. than we stay in the united states and to fake news it's now even receive some sort of resist a wardes monica now after weeks of hype about possible fake news awards event a us president don't trampas appointed to ten top examples of news stories in two thousand and seventeen that he says were intentionally wrong tromp unveiled the awards writ you guessed it a tweet it provided a link to

a republican party website that listed ten cases in which major american news sources reported stories that were later retracted or which the list says were incorrect c.n.n. qualified before mentions followed by two for the new york times and despite some of trump's initial statements via twitter it was not immediately clear who had drawn up the list. social media reaction to the fake news of was of course once again highlights the depolarize issue in the us of both the president's supporters as well as detectives seeing them as a vindication of their political viewpoints trumps base is of course applauding the move here's a taste of that from mike who tweets i'm just so proud to have a president that not only stands up to the american people but stands up to the liberal media trump is changing the scope of politics and his refusal to be

politically correct is a dream come true. trump's opponents see this as another disturbing attack on press freedom rider elise's we laugh about the fake news awards but it is in fact white terrifying and chilling this is what happens in dictatorships and fascist regimes facts language truth and ultimately the press become hijacked to serve power not to question it or hold it accountable. and the awards generated enough attention to bring down parts of the republican party website just to trump treated them this coming saturday mastan transfers full year in office as us president of the spend the speaker looking back at the last twelve eventful months in the white house or higher was one of the battleground states that handed trump his election victory in two thousand and sixteen but has

delivered on the promises he made to voters a washington bureau chief for nominee visited ohio to find out. a long time democratic stronghold that was one of the american steel industry but these times are long gone president. in twenty sixteen by promising to bring jobs back to the region. twice when bush believes in trump she host a talk show on local radio and after she gets off the air she relaxes and guard down. because of what he wants to do and how he wants to get it done so he's not republican he's not democrat he's just an american who use the system for his advancement to the presidency and you have to respect that but i mean i but we have to admit that he lives writes he doesn't tell the truth you have to admit he has is he has his own

thought process you know. but the question is do we all lie also. tracy takes me along to a party fundraiser in youngstown. during. three by. the latest polls show the president's trumps approval rating is at a record low whether people here support him despite the fact that he hasn't made much progress on his legislative agenda. finally for the first time the live your life times there's somebody in washington who is determined to change washington that's why people are excited they want to they want someone to go to washington who can grab that place and shake it because it's become so overloaded and so out of control it's been a slow process they're fighting every step of the way but i believe in eventually

people are going to realize how important this is like christian mckernan is a businessman in youngstown his quote i don't have to agree with certain things that a sitting president may feel i don't have to but i really should just look back and respect the position that's there. and allowing him to try to do his job. this is a show on line i treat your friends john. well good afternoon to walk a very thin friend here and that he would economic growth for tax cuts health care that's what counts for tracey winbush she says she doesn't like everything trump tweets or sass but she'll support him as long as he is here to break the system. away from politics to some spectacular images not the one as long as underwater caves we discovered in mexico you can see the diver they're now measuring an

astounding three hundred forty seven kilometers the submerged cavern in the mexican state of quintana roo isnt only remarkable because of its size but also because of a number of architectural treasures found inside the days back thousands of fields and a helping to build the mysteries of the ancient maya civilization that once dominated the region. it's thought to be the biggest underwater cave on the planet stretching for three hundred fifty kilometer. divers discovered a connection between two submerged cabin systems in eastern mexico after a decades long. there are about two hundred kids in this underwater systems others that we thought they might be connected but we weren't sure now we know about the collection and flows of water. while. research has found
