authorities say is a teenage asylum seeker or rock in germany from syria in two thousand and fifteen. italy's leading anti-establishment party sees the chance of a deal to end the country's political deadlock teaming up with the far right to form a government of the proposal comes with conditions that might prove hard just long . also coming up a monarch looks to hand over the reins britain's queen elizabeth has been the head of the commonwealth for nearly seven decades she wants her son charles to succeed but will he be given the job. was rough and the dollar has built his place in the quarterfinals of the monte carlo masters a showdown with novak djokovic should both be on the cards after he crashed out to . play. i'm sumi so much gonda good to have you with us. central berlin is on shut down this

morning as emergency services diffuse a massive world war two bomb the british farm was uncovered on a building site near the city's central train station german authorities have evacuated thousands in the surrounding area and halted rail services at the central train station seven decades after the end of the second world war germany still finds more than two thousand tonnes of unexploded bombs and live ammunition every year and most are on earth on construction sites. let's go right to rebecca ritter she is following this story for us at the scene hi rebecca good to see you give us an idea of what's going on i can hear at the moment. rebecca can you hear me all right it looks like we're back i can't hear us at the moment but i will try to get factor a little bit earlier rebecca ritter's there reporting for us for now though we're going to move on to our next story here in berlin though one of the suspects in

a legit anti-semitic attack has now turned himself into police police say he is a teenage asylum seeker from syria he was filmed attacking two young men who wore jewish religious head coverings now those men told the news they were wary of the campus because they wanted to show an israeli friend that it is safe to do so in berlin but police are investigating the attack as a hate crime. with this video of the alleged attacker address the outcry a friend announced that kind of wants to turn himself into the police it comes after the nineteen year old suspect was filmed apparently assaulting an israeli arab on the streets of berlin. jew in arabic the alleged attacker came to germany from syria and twenty fifteen and lives in a refugee center in the past year berlin has seen several anti-semitic incidents like this one on al quds day one palestinians and their supporters demonstrate against israel protesters made anti-semitic statements and burned an israeli flag.

the berlin based going to should have against anti-semitism visit schools to explain the subject including to students with immigrant backgrounds they warn against seeing anti-semitic attacks and specifically muslim. there's a specific group among muslims who are anti semitic is much more sometimes like in the present case they act in a particularly hateful way but i think that we should not stigmatize muslims. rather we should try to convince them to fight against anti-semitism everything else is counterproductive. berlin has one of the largest arabic and muslim populations in germany you found mixed reactions among the community. as a human being i'm happy to live with christians and jews and muslims together but the jews in palestine are occupiers. not all jews occupy

palestine so what does a boy who was born a jew have to do with it and then it's the thing that. we can't trust social media you have there has to be an investigation and if they find that palestinians did this for that then i reject that as a muslim. the case has left many jews wondering whether they're safe in berlin. ok let's return now to our top story emergency services defusing a massive world war two bomb in central pearl in this morning and we have been able to get rebecca rigorous back on the line she's at the scene hi rebecca good to see you so what is the situation right now i. hi sue me well i'm standing right here in front i'm not sure if you can see right behind me is the area where the bomb will be defused in just a few hours but i have to say apart from a small media circus here it's business as usual at the moment the area is about to

be evacuated so everything is still kind of going along as normal i'm starting to see some emergency vehicles arriving but about ten minutes ago we sort of heard the sound to get the construction workers to start working and then come inside police are on the scene and they have started accumulating around the site that will be defused in a few hours rebecca we mentioned earlier that thousands of tons of bombs every year are discovered how disruptive and chaotic is this for a city like berlin that's right sumi i mean this is a regularly sort of a common occurrence in berlin obviously there was a lot of unexploded bombs here i mean we have a fine around about two thousand tons of unexploded bombs across the country each year but not generally this close to the city center and we're right where about three or four hundred meters from the main train station there's going to be quite destructive this morning the train stations going to be completely closed down all

trains will be diverted there was talk that one of the main airports is going to have to divert flights because a lot of their flights sort of come over this area but that's not going to be the case however traffic in the area will be chaos and thousands of people from the surrounding area will be evacuated from their homes so it is quite a big deal we don't see a situation like this very often so a lot of travel disruption as well we're back at nine percent you've been talking to some of the people who are affected this morning how are they taking it. well i have to the people are in pretty high spirits i mean i've said it it's not such a common occurrence to have something like this here and i think people have sort of been saying it is a bit of a novelty act as well to a few people a lot of hotels near the train station they're all being evacuated but the people i spoke to sort of had a smile on their face and yes of course it's disruptive and a little bit annoying but i think they're all of the opinion that better safe than sorry and rebecca the defusing is supposed to start in just about an hour when will

this be over. well they're going to stop that if using the the actual technical part of it will take place in about two and a half hours so they will know more then it's hard to say now they've kind of given a warning that everyone will need to evacuate until at least mid day so that some three hours from now but it wouldn't have to play it by ear it could take up to five hours today evil goes to plan. rebecca ritter is in central berlin reporting for us from baca thank you now italians are still waiting on their elected leaders to form a government a month and a half after inconclusive elections now the antiestablishment a five star movement has given the far right league party and ultimatum ditch their ally silvio berlusconi's force italia by the end of the week and form a joint government together now so far the league leadership has refused the five

star and the league parties claimed the most votes in march but have been deadlocked over clashing visions for italy's future and let's bring in barbara vey so she's standing by for us in brussels barbara good morning to you this sounds like an unlikely coalition of the far right league with the populous five star movement that's seen on the left end of the political spectrum could this really happen. it sounds really totally counter-intuitive so me absolutely because originally the five star movement came more from the left and the of course the northern league is decidedly iraq being populist party and also we have to remember that the leader of the northern excelled during the election campaign and has been doing so since year in year is insulting the italian sauza calling them slackers and no goods and people who are of just absolutely no account however the five star movement has their strengths particularly in the south

a lot of their voters come from there so how is that possible to bring these two together and sort of not have the voters in the north in this house rise up and sort of throttle the respective leaders we have to remember that of course there are things that unite those parties that is particularly populism this whole ental establishment stance and then of course most are euro skeptic they really one changes in the european union all want to sort of abolish it altogether or that is quite unclear and so there are that there is a certain amount of common ground and that is something of course that the political establishment in italy watches was horror what would a coalition of this kind actually mean for the european union. shock and all and of course everybody in brussels looks at the some things that please god don't let this happen because if you have this is very unlikely coolish and off sort of

outright populists from the left and from the right come together and figure out how they can best disrupt operations in the european union. life will become extremely difficult. to get their euro form sort of ready and on the road within weeks if this should really happen because it can actually mean that business as usual comes to a full stop in italy at least in all those decisions very unanimous is necessary we look at the budget negotiations for instance can really put a stick in the spokes there and there are a lot of other issues however on the other side we have to remember that the european union does carry a certain amount of killed that the situation in italy came to this point they let the refugee crisis go on for years and years without ever really helping italy and

taking people off their hands and sort of doing something that really would stop the situation there so yes there will be a certain amount of breast beating too but never how stable would this coalition actually be you know italy has had several of its previous governments collapse. that's anybody's guess really so i mean because of course we've seen governments come and go in the usually if you look at it statistically they last for about a year a year and a half however and this can sort of end in chaos very quickly basically particularly if you look at the economic circumstances italy has the highest debt really except for greece in europe with one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. that is staggering as so the financial markets will not be happy to give more money to the government consisting of two totally untested unknown political entities

like the leader nord and the five star movement but on the other hand what we should not underestimate is the the real thirst for power the absolute hunger for power particularly in multiuse salvini from the liger north and also of course among the five star movement so yes they might even call bill something together and they might be more to nationalist than we think it was barbara vessel reporting from brussels on italy's political impasse barbara thank you that's some other stories making news around the world memos written by the sacked f.b.i. director james comey details suppose it discussions with u.s. president donald trump the material includes a claim that the russian president vladimir putin told trump russia has some of the most beautiful prostitutes in the world responding in a tweet to trump says the memos show komi leaked classified information. also in the u.s. tammy duckworth has become the first senator to bring her baby to work just yesterday

her colleagues in let him sleep pass a rule to allow babies under one year old onto the senate floor of the u.s. is the only developed nation that doesn't offer paid maternity leave. in the karada where thousands of taken to the streets in violent protest against social security reforms campaigners say workers and employers will have to pay more and pensions will be lower in the future police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at stone throwing protesters. at a parliamentary debate in senegal descended to chaos amid anger over proposed changes to the country's electoral law opposition lawmakers say the changes will make it impossible for a little known candidates to run for president there were also protests outside a police fire tear gas and arrested several people including a former prime minister cuba has a new president and his name is not castro president made. was sworn in and promised to uphold the legacy of the country's revolution which was first led by

fidel castro six decades ago d.s. kind of was the hand-picked successor to the outgoing leader raul castro critics warn that any change be on the name of the president looks unlikely. handing over the presidency but not complete power after almost sixty years of rule by the castro brothers cuba has a new leader miguel diaz can now promised outgoing president raul castro and the national assembly that he would carry on the socialist revolution. i assume the responsibility for which i have been elected with the conviction that all the cuban revolutionaries from whichever position we hold we will be faithful to the legacy of the commander in chief fidel castro ruz historic leader of the revolution and also to the values and teachings of general raul castro ruz to go rogue go through. the outgoing president will remain head of the communist party

for another three years consolidating his own power but the eighty six year old told the party faithful the t.c.'s de is canal as he is eventually successor. so you through the years on your one says ten year presidential term is over and the three years remaining until the congress i'm in havana these cubans believe the fifty seven year old diaz can now is what the country needs. the only it was a good choice he's young and innovative with a different perspective but on the streets of cuba not everyone is convinced much will change. all the same to me who have his good for the country in the people. began diaz canal is a party loyalist a cautious choice for a cautious country and that appears to be exactly what the old guard once. your heart is here now with more on the french president's a highly anticipated visit to berlin that's right it was

a busy week for french president manuel mark wrong on tuesday he addressed european parliament in strasburg for the first time outlining his plans for what can safely be called a reboot of the e.u. then it's on to berlin to actually find some support for his plans from germany's chancellor angela merkel boss in berlin he found not everyone is asked and through the stick about emanuel marcos plans i was in my home across. plans are akin to a european union relaunch on tuesday he described his vision for the future in a speech to the european parliament he wants the eurozone to have its own budget which would be administered by its own finance minister he also wants to levy higher taxes on internet companies and accelerate the introduction of e.u. wide intellectual property law i phone during your reform of the economic and monetary union as an indispensable third front before the end of this european parliament term defining a roadmap for moving forward on the banking union and

a fiscal compact city to promote stability and convergence in the euro area. only last year mark kong was given a standing ovation for a similar speech at the sorbonne university in paris this time the applause was more modest that's because the netherlands ireland and six other northern countries reject his e.u. reform plans they don't want their voters taxes to be poured into any new fangled euro zone budget but home knows his plans only have any hope of success with germany's backing in berlin on thursday he repeated his hopes for euro zone reform . and you see it is that we need more solidarity in the currency union money no currency union can survive without an element of convergence it needs the instruments of adjustment and alignment with the more precisely that if it was

a cult a lot of members of parliament and government here in berlin think those harmless sounding words could become very expensive for german taxpayers chancellor angela merkel sounded a more cautious note it's not true of course there are always differing perspectives between germany and france i mean debates open debates and in the end we also need the ability to compromise these kinds of compliments a lot of people will be discussing that at all levels of government it's help first results will be announced at the next e.u. summit in june. so because asking for sort of there is the will he yes it let's discuss this will come on haunt she's an economist effort university specializing in the history of political ideas now karen is mccaw a european visionary always you just overly enthusiastic about a european superstate. that's a very nice question i think is both he is a visionary and we need visionaries we need people with a long view on what europe stands for what europe needs to achieve and how strongly

he wants me must fight to keep this up but at the same time you're totally right he is very much a friend of the super state it's that's the typical french approach to matters they have the centrist model where the important thing is for france to have direct access to the european central core. and fats contrary to the reforms he's doing at home by the way where he tries to break up the structures and to introduce more competitiveness this centrist approach is not really favorable to competitiveness and that that's i think the mistake so the diagnosis that he has that europe needs to get stronger and more efficient is right but the cure that he is giving us is not the right one ok one was on the prospect of what be the right cure what needs to be done. well there are a couple of things that he is advising or that he has to fighting for that that are

good like moving ahead with the banking union is a good idea ben outside of the eurozone in general of politics like migration policy is like foreign defense are all all these matters that extremely important especially right now what europe is becoming more and more important geopolitically and should be i mean and that the threat from. china the u.s. moving out of many agreements that we've had so europe is important and it's important to to work on these issues but in economic terms i don't think you need. to deserve support for anything that is that involves transfers that involves more of what he called solidarity more convergence through redistribution all these other which would mean germans are. pay is paying for the call well that's the problem when you want to mutual lies forest so when you want to pool wrists and the risk on not distributed evenly. it's clear that one group is going to be paying for

the other group systematically then you won't find agreement on that and the problem is that agreement and two of the euro zone has been dropping and it's not a time for further deepening now. what about his fine for reforms at home you just mentioned it would be successful that if you could briefly if you can yes i do think so he is determined his firm it's only basically this is your take and one minor other trade and that is trying to defeat him i don't think they will be successful in the end in the end he has his transforming france in a historical way. we'll see the end of it will definitely will thank you very much colleen holmes thank you should. the international monetary fund and the world bank are having that annual spring meeting in washington both organizations are predicting strong growth for the global economy this year i.m.f.

has closed the lagarde predicted growth of three point nine percent the fosters to rate in eight years so the outlook is quite upbeat in the short. recent it was a case of good cop bad cop i.m.f. chief christine legarde focusing on crumbling business confidence and gloomy projections while world bank president jim yong kim saw the current climate as an opportunity to spread the money around. the challenge now is to ensure that strong growth will translate into inclusive growth so that the benefits of global economic integration are enjoyed by all members of society but the ongoing china u.s. trade spat and lackluster productivity could ruin the upswing by as soon as twenty twenty lagarde warned earlier and then there's this. global debt is at an all time high it stand it stands at one hundred and sixty four trillion dollars which is two hundred twenty five percent of g.d.p.

off which the private sector accounts for two third public debt in advanced economies is at levels not seen since the second world war the two lenders are clear short term the global economy is looking up but without immediate action stagnation and instability lie ahead be on the next couple of years. bank the pride and joy of the german financial industry is making headlines again for all the wrong reasons again this time they made an accidental transfer happens to the best of us doesn't it who wouldn't get a number on once in a while with online banking all those pesky pin numbers and passwords and codes right but mind you you've never accidentally transferred about twenty eight billion euros to the wrong account have you well to their credit they figured it out a few minutes later and rectified the issue no harm done but a couple of red faces but the incident sheds another harsh spotlight on the bank's

commonwealth heads of government is wrapping up in london later today they're expected to make a decision on who should lead the organization after queen elizabeth the second the commonwealth as a group of countries most of which are former british colonies and with bricks that looming britain is trying to boost ties to the other member states let's bring in dave use mass to standing by for us in london hybrid morning the u.k. wants to build trade relations with commonwealth countries as it prepares to leave the e.u. but not all members are really receptive to that idea tell us more about that. well the commonwealth is not as asian that's been this i've been many people as benign but not very very relevant britain is trying to basically bring new life into this organization and they suit try to find the direction they had several themes for this summit the most prominent one was the fight against plastic but

also cyber crime education for girls they're trying to carve out a new direction and of course today. meeting with the heads of government so today is a crunch day where the queen i'm here in front of buckingham palace of course the queen has a lead role also to try and bring everybody together and to try and find a new direction and and sort of ring new these ancient toys not everybody is extremely happy about that but people have has a say have come here some talk some commonwealth meetings it was only foreign ministers but now the heads of state have also possibly you know on the to the quick and my colleagues in law. they've been at the meeting that have been speaking with delegates and poking to them about this charm offensive by the british and we're going to have a look now. memorise festivities. the

raids. and. the royal family has taken to the britain's commonwealth charm offensive. prince harry and took the stage commonwealth ambassador. i'm also incredibly grateful to the woman that i'm about to marry meghan will be joining me in this work in which she too is hugely excited to take part in. thank you it's just under a year until corrected this is the stage in which britain wants to present itself as a global player part of the family of fifty three commonwealth. there's a lot of synergies very. british government and pakistani government about together to not only improve the relationship but also the economic relationships that i've always been a bit uncomfortable with the history of the commonwealth and so something that's made me feel uncomfortable however i don't think i've ever felt more positive about the future of the commonwealth because i feel it is an opportunity you can do here

good morning everybody in the past the commonwealth focused mainly on promoting development and democracy now to research may want to reenergize the organisation and torn attention to posting trade the commonwealth can lead to the world the commonwealth can spot our world and the commonwealth. the world i a vision that the canadian prime minister also support was offering the u.k. and a deep relationship with the e.u. but also. many bricks of supporters believe that the network of mostly former british colonies holds the key to britain's future outside of the u. and the potential issues after all commonwealth nations account for forty percent of the world's population but there are many barriers for example geographic proximity one reason why only nine percent of u.k. exports go to the commonwealth compared to forty four percent but go to the

european union and many commonwealth countries have highly protected economies like india for instance prime minister modi wants visa restrictions lifted before agreeing on trade liberalization a hard sell to anti immigration protests following the brics it referendum suddenly the british government is paying attention to the organization and i'm afraid you know if the commonwealth is to. the future we're in more trouble than i thought it really just isn't a properly functioning international organization it doesn't have a proper decision making process it doesn't have any kind of implementation mechanisms among many young delegates there is an appetite to change that only one of the first plane. ok in the u.k. is new in the e.u. and as we cannot deal with members of the commonwealth then we are on our side looking that's. just us on the basis of fairness and equity seem to be green strong

used to be way to europe many commonwealth leaders did not want the u.k. to leaf. now their support will come at a price i took a very good record of their support may come at a price what price could britain have to pay here. well first of all to be a more equal footing that which also many of the delicate have just eluded to and virtually all the people have spoken out in this commonwealth meeting have have alluded to the same thing that they want a more level playing field more equal relationship and nobody really wants to go back to anything that smells of the old and then again there are also some really concrete demands break sample india which of course is a very attractive economy to the frayed trade deal with the free trade deal with but they did more and a lot of good will from britain when it comes to visa for example we have indian

community here in the u.k. it's very tricky for family visits even to get their arms in when there is a family celebration people have to wait for weeks so so they want a much freer a much better routine when it comes to visa and of course britain with the climate being not exactly pro immigration which of course was one of the reasons that people voted for breaks it that's going to go down not very well with the public so it's a very fine balance for for the british government that they have to keep and bigger we should mention that another issue that's been overshadowing the summit is an outcry over a commonwealth migrants who moved to britain sixty years ago tell us more about that controversy. well it's the so-called when drug cases those for people and grants mostly for caribbean states that came to britain part or in order to help build up the country when there was

a shortage of labor many who are still living here now from these people were children at the time and and several of them did not have the proper paperwork so they never had a british passport for example soon people have been threatened with deportation even though they have been living here they are in the sixty's they have been denied medical treatment because they could not when you roots have come in a few years ago there's much more demands for poorer people to show that they can actually entitled to certain treatments people have lost their jobs they couldn't they think they couldn't come back to the country only with difficulties so they've had many barriers and it's somehow almost threaten to destroy people's lives and this caused huge outcry in the british public and also a lot of pressure on reason may the prime minister and she really to talk to heads of state caribbean hads of state here at the summit about it and really try and say

well were mistakes and we're trying to rectify it. back at mass reporting for us from london bergen thank you very much. well as we just heard one of the leaders attending the summit in london is indian prime minister narendra modi modi is due to travel to berlin later today for talks with germany's chancellor merkel while in london at the commonwealth summit held at trade negotiations with the british government and trade will also be high on the list to discuss with anglo american when modi lands in berlin. and we have with us here in our studio she's a research fellow and poet political analyst at the global public policy institute that's a non profit think tank here in berlin grima thanks for joining us this if you look at the situation here who's more interested in trade ties is that anglo-american all under under modi that's interesting i think both of them are interested in trade ties but because of different views and so there's been

a lot of momentum in germany and in relations all fleet and the two countries that started talking on issues beyond trade aligning their views and global issues now for india main reason is rex it it is trying to clean new european partners after the u.k. is exit for a long time the u.k. was the main gate way for india to reach europe and now it's looking towards germany and france germany on the other hand it's trying to diversify its partnerships in asia for a known time focused on china as the sole patna but now it's understanding that it might be actually useful to build strong partnerships with countries like india with common values political systems and a common view the world but at the same time germany is also going to be talking about indo china relations why what is germany's role there i see it's not so much about india china relations but talking about. concerns that both germany and india have about a particular chinese foreign policy skiing the road initiative so the better road

initiative is a massive foreign policy undertaking which china is making investments opening up new markets and creating transport routes between asia. and europe both on land and on sea but there is an increasing concern among a number of countries that these investments don't come without strings attached whether it be increasing chinese military presence along the trade routes or increasing political influence now we've seen that political influence in europe in the case of hungary in greece but it's also was willin in his neighborhood we have the constitutional crisis in the maldives and in pakistan and other countries so germany and india have very similar concerns about the bed to broaden initiative that it hampers free trade favors chinese markets chinese companies and most importantly that it's creating financial dependencies in countries that might lead to one realty as in smaller countries we've already seen that in the e.u.'s neighborhood and also india's neighborhood so they're very clear that it's good an

economic concerns that germany and india both would like to address the e.u. wants a free trade agreement with india britain is now leaving the e.u. does that make this free trade agreement more likely the free trade agreement negotiated is have been going on for a decade and they've been stalled for a better part of the decade because of demands from both sides that have not been met but i think with bracks it is an opportunity to kick start these negotiations and keep in mind india had was free movement or better movement professionals within the european union now because of stringent visa regulations the u.k. was opposing that backs of the e.u. has possibility to offer more concessions to india and germany in fact is taking the lead in pushing forward their feet agreement negotiations because with the u.k. leaving germany stands to meet with the free trade agreement with india i have to also ask about india's perspective on the commonwealth because we saw in that previous report that there's a lot of energy being put now into the commonwealth how realistic is that as an

alternative for it. i think it's going to be extremely difficult because the commonwealth is not like a trade block it's. a group of very diverse countries which have diverse interests so it's going to have three hots for negotiate trade agreements with every single one of them now countries like india don't do fast track trade agreements so they're not going to give any preferential treatment to britain and so the other commonwealth countries i think. access. to immigration control it's going to be an issue that they're going to negotiate hard and if britain doesn't on true events that's going to be very difficult already grima mohan from the global public policy institute here in berlin thanks so much for sharing your analysis thank you . you're watching news still to come on the program africa's mobile museum this bus is on its way to west africa with painters and sculptors on board stay tuned to find out the highs and lows of life on the road in africa for

which is only uncommon in the life of the prophet some people are incensed. ones there so. the government claims to pursue a policy of zero tolerance against militancy while islamists are becoming increasingly assertive them address us are considered by many to be breeding grounds of fundamentalism mufti pfizer like teaches islamic sharia law to koran school in dhaka and has repeatedly been accused of hate speech in this video he calls for the death penalty off a politician who criticised pilgrimages to mecca talking to a t w he explains why the islamic. motto be in his. allah and the prophet. if you insult or abuse that our hearts. so what should you do if you are hurt or do you pick up

a weapon with them but you know. islam does not. when it comes to those who hurt you and make your heart. at least you can ask for their punishment. not only atheist bloggers but also artists and people of different faiths have been under oppression bangladesh in early march there was yet another targeted attack against a renowned writer and eminent scientist the motive of the young perpetrator he saw his victim as an enemy of islam. the full documentary the dawn of islam and some will start airing here tomorrow on d w and we have one of the filmmakers centrifuges not with us here in studio good morning sandra i have to ask you about one of the statements in that piece that really stood out to me from the political advisor to the prime minister saying that these bloggers who were attacked brought it upon themselves at that is quite

a statement how widespread is that belief i think it's more widespread than what we might be if he even went further than that he said you know what. they are both extremists the bloggers are and those who killed them that's if you watch the full documentary in the rain you know irritated us but he stood by what he set and looking at the population in bangladesh i think people generally don't like it if you criticise religion islam the prophet and what has happened in the process is after the serious of blogger murders that critical voices have sort of withdrawn from public discourse they have fallen silent you know their retreat to previous see and what you hear is the loud voices of the islamists they have grown so much louder though i think generally speaking they are still a minority but growing but what about religious minorities and if it's difficult for bloggers what about christians for example hindus christians and hindus both have been attacked and looking specifically at ten do is you know there is

a kind of migration going on from bangladesh towards india especially especially from the hindu site and also what you see there is that they also withdrawal from the public discourse you know minorities have fallen silent they try to you know not be very visible in society so that's the approach that they have chosen what are those critical the voices of islam that you said are growing louder you actually had the opportunity to visit you know one of the most conservative madrassas in the country what did they tell you about how they see what we see as a rising intolerance i think they perceive us as being very intolerant to where they are coming from you know one of the. religious scholar told me you know you might not agree with me but i really think that's his wording that an islamic state in bangladesh would be better for the people and if there were a true islamic state we wouldn't see these murders murders of bloggers so you know

he really made a point they are that islam is a religion of peace and when we confronted him with the block. that video that we also sold in this short report now that is hate speech that is incitement to violence. you know he just said and i don't think so i don't think it's an incitement to violence we have the right to ask for punishment of enemies of islam but he was more coming from the point of view that there is a western conspiracy against the slums we were confronted with that so an islamic country would be better for the people what did the people tell you well there were quite a few people who were really scared to talk to us like if you watch the documentary we will start with a female young blogger and in order to have her in this story she really had to conceal her face you know she was wearing the dockers stuff my sunglasses and we try to make sure that people will not find it very easy to recognize her we have people who said no we're not going to talk to you and then there were others who

were really brave and really making a stand point this this one human rights activist and lawyer saddam hussein she's one of the main sources for this movie and she said you know it might not be the big bang in bangladesh but what we're seeing is this slow slide towards intolerance it's the rise of intolerance and all the small little concessions made from the government towards the islamists you know that is something that is changing our life that is changing i was surrounding and it forces people to phone silent well it's a fascinating documentary part of our series reach zero tolerance here on t w i certainly urge our viewers to watch it'll be starting to air tomorrow right here on d w centrifuges a month thank you so much. to western africa where a bus full of artists has taken to the road to show off their work at their mobile museum is sponsored by germany's contents
