7:02 am
hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program. political consultancy cambridge analytic have suspended c.e.o. alexander nix after undercover reporters filmed him boasting about the dirty tricks he could deploy to swing elections revelations came hot on the heels of an exposé by a whistleblower who detailed how the company scraped facebook for users data then turned it against them to influence their voting patterns the center of london home to cambridge analytical. the firm c.e.o. had a reputation for enjoying media attention but in the past few days alexander nick seemed less happy in the media spotlight. on tuesday cambridge analytical suspended makes following an undercover investigation by british broadcaster channel four he was secretly filmed by reported posing as a client seeking to get candidates elected alexander nix outlined some dirty tricks
7:03 am
to help things such as blackmail be effective and be just to get rid of a stick to be forced. to offer that. stupid future sexual text that video recorded. or entrapping politicians by filming them in compromising situations that gets rough to the candidates out the. loss of history. shortly before being suspended next told b.b.c. he was exaggerating the company's. but these latest accusations on the only problems dogging can be channelised the company had previously bragged how to use facebook profiles to help get u.s. president donald trump elected now the u.k.'s data protection agency has social
7:04 am
warrant to search cambridge analytic is headquarters and it's investigating whether the company illegally collected the facebook. this comes after a former employee spilled the beans on the company's tactics he says people were asked to download a facebook app which secretly stole private data about the user and their facebook friends i only need to engage fifty thousand one hundred thousand people a really big data really quickly and it scaled really quickly we were able to get upwards of fifty million plus facebook records in the span of a couple months and that's how one of the biggest breaches in facebook's history came about. facebook's has been dodging the media for days british lawmakers have summoned him to appear before a committee and accuse facebook of misleading them at a previous hearing the hashtags delayed facebook and where is trending on social
7:05 am
media and made calls for the internet giant to take responsibility for the breach. we realize how important these companies are for example to elections right across europe and i think this is the year when politicians have woken up the public could up and it's time for the tech companies to wake up because they get their act together they are going to face serious repercussions social networks one celebrated as the savior of democracy now critics are starting to ask why the social media should be more closely regulated. there's been another development in this story a report submerged that the federal trade commission in the u.s. is investigating facebook in connection with the matter well for more on the story i'm joined by my colleague editor michelle stockman michelle how significant is this latest development regarding the possible f.t.c. probe well i think the report that we just watched hit the nail on the question
7:06 am
that many people are asking should facebook be more regulated and so we're having reports coming in that the federal trade commission which is a consumer and competition watchdog in the u.s. is opening an investigation into facebook to see if it breached a prior agreement that had reached with the company over whether facebook had deceived users about privacy before and this investigate could result in facebook being slapped with a huge fine we're talking forty thousand dollars per violation and this kind of fifty million users were affected we need a calculator here and this is massive and then we're looking at this coming on the heels and u.s. lawmakers calling mark zuckerberg and saying you need to testify you need to clear this up so this could be a watershed moment for facebook in terms of huge monetary consequences and users looking at and saying can i trust facebook or is facebook the social media giant that's too big to fail that's what we're going to look at mark zuckerberg has some
7:07 am
questions to answer but at the heart. the story michelle or the actual facebook users whose death here was shared beyond facebook what's the lesson in all of this well terry you know i wonder was it me was it you i think the users need to look at can you really trust what you're seeing on social media we understand from reports into this story that it was a app that was billed as a psychological research tool that people entered and that data was transferred over to cambridge analytic so they were deceived as to what this was so users really need to look at the privacy settings they need to look at the fine print and say you know can i really trust this social media network with my private thoughts with my photos are they going to reach just my friends or do we really know where that data is going big questions indeed d.w. news editor michelle stockman thanks so much and we've got some breaking news this

a final since of hope in their daily struggle for survival. germany's chancellor is due to lay out her government's plans for the next four years in an address to parliament today that's after being sworn in last week for a fourth term as chancellor lawmakers will be watching with interest after months of wrangling to form a government many in parliament are still deeply unhappy with the result ground coalition between michael's conservatives and social democrats now it's up to merkel to win their confidence. back after the longest coalition negotiations in decades. chancellor for a fourth term she can look ahead to some challenges. the new government's plans for the coming term take up one hundred seventy seven pages the coalition agreement devotes its opening chapter to europe and also references the e.u.
7:13 am
in its title that's a first year old has never taken such priority. meanwhile he's been waiting patiently for a german partner before forging ahead with his own plans for europe french president. wants the eurozone to have its own budget and finance minister germany hasn't taken a final stance but is prepared to spend more money. in the past germany and france have achieved a great deal working together her family committed to doing so in the future as well because. the new government is also facing challenges on the domestic front with initiatives on education pensions and digitization including a major expansion of broadband internet. one of the toughest tasks ahead is not spelled out in the coalition agreement but looms large nonetheless germany's new government is determined to prevent
7:14 am
a trade war with the us. so chancellor merkel has finally been sworn in got her government in place and she can get down to work she'll be addressing parliament today laying out her priorities for the next four years or more on this let's bring in our chief political editor. became. chancellor merkel has her government in place has its work cut out for obviously also in terms of foreign policy can medical of void going straight into crisis mode not really she actually already is we're going to see her today i think for the type of particularly on the united states negotiations os still ongoing between the european union and the us whether there can be an exception to those terrorists that trump wants to impose on steel and other many i'm so the hope here is and that's what she also said yesterday that you can still kind of find this and
7:15 am
that and avoid a real coup having to take action that's what everybody wants to avoid and then of course there's us. other issues there where in germany and europe has to really see how it deals with these allegations and the lack of evidence free from the russian side that they were not involved in this poisoning case in the united states in the u.k. sorry in the u.k. cells were absolutely and at the same time she has read the one hundred seventy seven pages to work down and i think the maid's attains is that we will see that will be domestic policy there's a drive for education there's a possible back of labor reforms that were implemented years back which really led to a different of of the labor market here in germany so we'll see a lot of bits there but the big line will be europe and pro european policy and the question of course there is how much money dermie is willing to put on the table
7:16 am
for the feet of the e.u. but also how much ground they will give to michael the french president can you mention the coalition agreement it is a big document it's almost two hundred pages chancellor who is going to be delivering her first major policy speech to parliament today laying out her priorities for the next four years what is she expected to emphasize in this address to parliament today well how big themes are tarty has been the digital infrastructure here and then one must say that considering that she has been in power for more than a decade juries infrastructure doesn't really match that rhetoric now certainly now this grand coalition is putting the money on the table to change that. and this is something she also sees as a big theme that she wants to see a brought into the forefront i think this is picked up more traction as we see this facebook scandal now evolve here and but talking to politicians here one also gets the sense that no is no clear on yet what the response will be so i will certainly be listening very closely to what kind of concept she might be mapping out there
7:17 am
and of course we have the e.u. summit coming up she will be heading pretty much straight to that in brussels. and so. not just a duty to that student once again stressing how from european germany is now making a is you know there's been quite a bit of speculation already about whether this government under mcelhinney her fourth term will go the full four years or whether maybe new elections will be called chancellor merkel might hand off to someone else there's all sorts of speculation what's behind that well nobody will really say it on the record but everybody is quite clear that this is the last time for german chancellor merkel the question is will see stay the full term and will this coalition even last we're ready seeing rhetorical infighting between the leaders of the youth organizations of both parties involved in this on just minor issues so yes that's still an open question to be cheap political editor make it a quick thanks so much well we will
7:18 am
by the way have more on chancellor merkel's address was talkin about thirteen hundred u.t.c. time today it is crunch time for talks with the e.u. and donald trump concerning his planned import tariffs what's happening crystal. that's right said terry the e.u. is a trade commissioner c m m stroom isn't washington and she held the goshi asians with u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross yesterday the negotiation negotiations will continue on wednesday with pressing for the e.u. as a whole to be excluded from president trump new tariffs on steel and aluminum which are set to go into effect on friday well until now the levies that the european union imposes on the u.s. products have been on average higher than the other way around europe imposes everett's tariffs of around five point two percent on u.s.
7:19 am
goods for their part the americans tax european imports at three point five percent that's according to the food institute in munich now the e.u. steps particularly heavy taxes on beef from the united states around sixty eight percent to protect european farmers and consumers in the other direction the usa taxes european tobacco products at almost fifty percent and commercial vehicles or pickup trucks at twenty two percent to protect their own market experts say that leveling the playing field by reducing import to d.c. to the same lower figure makes more sense then to begin a new upward protectionism spiral now the trade crisis brewing on both sides of the atlantic also top the agenda of g twenty finance ministers they have been meeting in when as itis in argentina and mainly wanted to discuss how to deal with digital currencies but these days there is no evading the dispute about tariffs. u.s. treasury secretary steven minoan defended the new american steel and aluminum
7:20 am
tariffs which are set to go into effect on friday we need to be prepared to act in the u.s. interest again to defend free and fair are supercool try to analyse it and in doing that there is always it with us if we put tariffs on the other people or worse for it and there's a risk of the trade worse the president has said we're not afraid of getting into a trade war given the size of our market the size of our economy and the fact that we have a big trade deficit having said that that's not our call it was an odd but not unexpected message of american unilateral ism during a series of meetings devoted to economic cooperation yet trade was not the reason for this week's meetings and the specifics of the looming american tariffs never came up in the official discussion participant said the focus was on crypto currencies like bitcoin in their current form digital currencies are not friendly to monetary policy they're opaque decentralized and often involved in unsavory
7:21 am
parts of the economy even if central banks wanted to regulate them the question is how and how disruptive it could be that this one either or there were issues involving regulation looking at the markets cybersecurity data and operational risks that we were hoping to see and that they aren't questions to have to be answered now the g twenty working groups will continue throughout the year. it's well venezuela's facing more pressing issues the south american countries wrecked by hyperinflation prices are almost doubling every month and cash is in short supply in search for solutions venezuela even founded its own crypto currency the petro and now one town near the colombian border has come up with its own idea on how to deal with the monetary crisis. looking for a currency more stable than the boulevard how about the a lot so that's the new bill being printed by
7:22 am
a venezuelan town of the same name city offices are selling it to coincide with a local festival that's drawing thousands of tourists with cash hard to come by the lords offers another system for buying goods the notes can be purchased cashless with a bank transfer the city then lops off an eight percent commission the notes come in fifty thousand and one hundred thousand denominate sions some have a picture of local independence leader jose andres a lot so early reviews are positive. this is the perfect solution and you could just see how easy it was to get the notes and then come here and buy things easily anyway we think. it's hardly a perfect solution many residents lack bank accounts and the reach of the lord is limited to its namesake city. venezuela's poor economy is pervasive meanwhile the central bank has responded by printing more money something critics say is only boosting inflation. that means the celebration will be brief for laura but
7:23 am
a celebration nonetheless. back to tara now and efforts to tackle racism in soccer that's right christoph there's a lot going on in that area march twenty first today marks the united nations international day for the elimination of racial discrimination it's a day to say enough is enough to racism in all walks of life the world's most popular sport football or soccer to some of us is far from immune and there's good reason to believe racism is increasing in the so-called beautiful game the latest case was that of bruce's dortmund's machine a batch why the belgian striker was subjected to monkey chants from opposition terraces when his club took on italian side in february his disbelieving tweet on the subject forms part of a report put together by our social media team. racism
7:24 am
does not go away if we don't confront it it will spread well not only the merger those are the moves the groups.
7:25 am
so that it is the united nations international day for the elimination of racial discrimination we're talking sports right now we've got yannick spade from sports here in the studio hey yannick many people have the impression that racism in sports in football or particularly is increasing. yet seems hard to believe but according to this to. kick it out a body that has been talking racism since the ninety nine he's recently came out and said that it increased fifty one percent in football in the last twelve months so it's quite a quite an increase so these are they're measuring incidents i suppose yes throughout all football not just professional but across his level as well and it's a worrying trend that if it's going up and i think way is a so. he have to identify the fact that this isn't just a football problem it's
7:26 am
a problem in society as a whole i think the positive never get negative aspects of society often mirrored in football it's a very popular game very accessible and it gives a platform to these hooligan top people to spread their hateful views and it is it is an uncomfortable truth but it's something we have to live with and we saw footage in our report there from you wafers campaign no to racism is football doing enough to tackle this problem to be honest i don't think it is i think you can always do more special is the world's most popular game it has a big influence on people's lives whether we like it or not. i mean faith has said that racism levels in russian football are completely unacceptable but that didn't stop them awarding them the world cup this year so that doesn't sound like a very strong stance to me but faith has said that they are putting in measures to to fight racism in leading into the world cup they said referees will have the
7:27 am
power to stop games of crisis abuse is heard in the stands but we really say referees take such action and we even saw just in the video before that two players were handed yellow cards for bringing up racism jury again so there is a lot more that football can do to combat racism are we seeing attitudes beginning to change or at least more sense of people becoming more sensitive to this topic you would hope so i mean we recently saw the take taken a campaign with colin kaepernick was highlighting justices and i think it is helping people to at least talk about the discussion and you know hopefully change the perception is out there so young expat from t w sports thanks so much. you're watching t.w. news still to come on the un's edge of racism day we meet four students here in germany who say they experienced discrimination on a daily basis plus i'm joined by an antique racism activist here in the studio.

7:32 am
world but racism persists in two thousand and seventeen the united nations warned that racism is on the rise in countries like the us and australia this was the scene last summer in charlottesville virginia in parts of europe the picture is much the same far right parties are becoming more popular britain experienced the spike in racist hate crime after the break said but. well here in germany human rights activists say racism is often seen as a historical problem associated with the nazi era but for people of color living here racism can be an everyday experience as we hear in our next report. to germans to foreigners they all share an apartment in germany each of them has experienced racism each of them fights in his or her own way to feel like they belong. laundry lon co has given up being accepted in
7:33 am
germany a few years ago he was visiting a friend on his way back to the apartment a neighbor in the stairwell brutally pushed and beat him he thought laundry was a burglar because of his skin color. i was really angry if i were german he wouldn't have asked me why i was there it would have been completely normal. laundries roommates have not experienced physical violence but they heard many a racial slur and one question over and over again. they just see the color of my skin and immediately ask which country i come from they label me as a foreigner as if i didn't belong here in germany who. it's horses like this mans which sure prejudice and marginalized people andre polk and bird from the right wing party alternative for germany. and.
7:34 am
with the rise of right wing populists the debate over foreigners has intensified the flatmate say the question of where they come from is being asked more and more frequently off the stuff i that's just so much that wasn't the case in the past. for example when i lived in cologne at parties or when i met new people they didn't care about my skin color or ask me where i was from and i was just like them but how do you think that. the four emphasize their similarities. they don't want other people to dictate to them who belongs in germany but i think. i know i'm german you know but i've also experienced things that maybe someone who only knows germany can't imagine it and that's why i see myself more as
7:35 am
a german plus. but laundry long co has had enough of not being accepted after his studies he plans to leave the flat and return to his homeland in cameroon. ever more on this i'm joined now in the studio by vincent probably the lotto. new of mess up in a boutique labo and activist musician and activist with the campaign for black people in germany it's called and you live in leipsic and berlin thanks for being with us this morning vincent thanks for having me now today is the un's international day for the elimination of racial discrimination do you see any signs of racism being eliminated well eliminated is a strong word but i do actually see signs of it i don't know if you remember two thousand and fifteen when the first big wave of refugees arrived in germany there were thousands of people organizing themselves to help
7:36 am
a photon put help them organizing german classes of conniving organizing the housing so i already hear my colleagues saying but there was a huge deal of paternalism and like a save white savior complex which is true but i do see this period really sort of cracks in the racist system in germany and it begins to crumble what we need to do now is sort of combine the cracks and smash it ok so it will obviously eliminating racism completely is not a realistic goal but fighting it is certainly a worthy thing to be doing now there's an anti-racism rally scheduled for later today here in berlin the slogan for this rally translates as i confront all types of racism what can protests like that achieve well actually quite a lot i think what we need especially with the rise of right wing populism in
7:37 am
germany is more people saying no no to racism it sounds simple but it's a very important thing to do but i remember the davis saying it's not enough to be non-racist. you are in a racist society you have to be anti-racist so we all living in this society living in europe have to develop an n.t.i. anti-racist eddie to ok so not just of being non-racist but antiracist a sexy good distinction that you were born here in berlin to german congolese parents you often get treated as a foreigner here in germany how does that work how does it make you feel well not very good i can tell you that. it depends you know certainly all my life i've been positioned outside of german society not being a part of it but still i have a german passport so i'm relatively privileged my german is also very good and greenwich street thanks. thinks so of course that doesn't make me feel so good
7:38 am
but this is not the main issue for me it also saves me from being becoming a nationalist. this is not the huge issue i really with my anti rise to struggle and we offer from the from the ice steve this initiative for black people in germany we really want to fight for the people especially black people but all people migrants refugees without rights the german society now i understand you wrote a master's thesis on the representation of black people in german schoolbooks what did you find out doing that well there are still huge could basically colonial continuities within schoolbooks and within the german using education context. just had one or two quick examples more than eighty five percent of black people being shown from the african continent shown almost naked and banging
7:39 am
the drum in the jungle this is. like a very well known colonial cliches but i think it's a sign that germany really has. to do more and confronting also the colonial history old cliches or stereotypes are hard to get rid of if you went to the university in the eastern german city of life see that's in the state of saxony where some of our viewers might know the right wing alternative for germany and the anti immigrant piggy the movement are very strong how has that affected your life do you still feel it ease in leipsic well i do feel it ease in life to say i mean i lived there for ten years. and i mean yes there's a huge rise of right wing nationalist sentiment and i could of course feel it almost every day i mean i even have a beard so a lot of people think that i'm
7:40 am
a muslim and treat me according to their racist feelings towards muslim people but still i as i mentioned earlier especially in light see where i live a lot of people saying no to racism and ogonowski themselves and the anti-racist struggle. as a musician you you tour quite a bit doing also in eastern germany i know some other musicians rip toured in eastern germany in here and they're not even black but have suffered a lot of discrimination just because they don't speak the language the way people there did that you experienced. a lot of racism in eastern germany yourself but yeah i mean especially turing's through smaller towns or even some villages. i was at times difficult i mean i've been slept in the face in dress than for
7:41 am
apparently you know and well the reason was racism but i mean yeah so at times it was very difficult but. still especially with my project this band called oh the syndicate. we sort of also have a lot of like anti-racist lyrics and we're trying to challenge for example clone your lives and the german colonial history and people are willing to engage in the in the conversation not always of course you'll always have like the old guy in the corner shouting the stuff but i mean racism does persist then sent thank you so much for vincent baba bootie labo from the campaign for thank you in germany today right thank you so much for talking with us today on the w. news thank you for having me. and staying in germany the country's federation for food banks has condemned racism and discrimination that's after a food bank in essence stopped accepting new applications for food aid from anyone
7:42 am
without a german passport a scarcity of resources and the behavior of some foreigners meant that longstanding german recipients were going home empty handed they said in essence the charity nel says it will begin accepting foreigners again at the end of march but the situation remains fraught as our next report shows it's eight in the morning at colognes food bank in a few minutes a fleet of fans will swarm out to the supermarkets and bakeries throughout the city as they do every morning. has been volunteering at colonus food bank for six years for one day a week he's one of the drivers in the fleet. it's all about doing something meaningful not in the sense of earning money doing something that other people benefit from the food. not as some anonymous company that just keeps profiting with but for those who don't have any spac cash. people who are in need.
7:43 am
this and it's. the warehouses full of canned and dried goods that have been donated social logistics specialists that's how food banks see themselves critics see them as a stopgap for failed government social policies. just in cologne the food bank passes out donations to ten thousand people in need at thirteen separate distribution centers. and his penchant colleagues. have an eight hour day ahead of them. but recently their phone until workers drawn shop criticism in the city of all places the german word for food is the food bank has started turning away foreigners ever since then. food banks reputations have suffered across the country . i'm looking at first they said the so-called freeze for new admissions was due to how aggressive some of the young men were who were coming as if that's completely
7:44 am
fine i think those people need to protect themselves but now they've turned it around and said it's directed completely against foreigners i don't agree with that . on each tour the pensioners visit nine supermarkets. tell oh we're from the cologne food bank do you have any food stamps for us today. at the first supermarket is braced for disappointment in the past years the supermarkets of optimized their purchases meaning there is less left over for the food banks at the same time the number of those in need is rising. the bench tables are in perfect shape but there are only two crates if this goes on many will wind up empty handed today. in green asparagus looks great.
7:45 am
these are all things i would happily by all can see myself but later on we'll see some things where you can't help but wonder why they weren't just thrown out. in the. meanwhile doris rank is waiting at one of the distribution centers for georg roulettes delivery to arrive she's already gathered a few crates of fruit on a way over. that's where it is now i wouldn't want to eat this anymore and if i'm not willing to ease it then i don't want to hand it out to others either. but they sped some up bruce to have some spots that's fine. it's going to out here comes the van i have to move like aw. yeah i'm coming. i mean how you'd shoot. up the heart if you got a lot today. we've got something sorted out. in. the first
7:46 am
