this is deja vu news live from berlin a powerful dust storm kills more than ninety people in india extreme winds smashed walls and turf trees across the country's north these pictures are from delhi will be going there live for the very latest also coming up on world press freedom day to w. asks journalists what makes an honest and accurate reporting so crucial we take the pulse of the media around the globe. the lives shattered in the battle against

islamic state months after the group's defacto capital was liberated a special report on life and the legacy open war in the ruins. plus a milestone for d.w.i. as germany's international broadcaster turned sixty five from a short wave radio station to a worldwide multimedia network where stretchable as director general what's being done to deliver news that comes down on the side of facts and truth over political agenda. and the latest from the public on a digital conference taking place right here in berlin high on this year's agenda how to protect internet users from big business. i'm sumi so misconduct good to have you with us we start in india where a powerful dust storm has left more than ninety people dead extreme winds and rains

brought down trees and destroyed temporary structures struck the northwest causing many of the deaths officials confirm that more than one hundred other people have been injured and they warn that the death toll could rise. as the storm rolled in the dust and winds were only a portent of the violence to come. it wasn't until nightfall that the storm of yield its full fury. battering residents with rain hail in unusually fast winds. the storm caught many by surprise as india's and will monsoon season is still weeks away. as the winds begin to subside victims were rushed to the hospitals in the states of rogers town pradesh which bore the brunt of the storm's power. many were injured by falling debris as the winds uprooted trees and toppled buildings. you know the district we have information of five

deaths due to a high intensity thunderstorm at least twenty two people are critically injured and are being given treatment at a trauma center of the district hospital. it was only as daylight came that the extent of the damage began to become clear dozens have already been confirmed killed and authorities say the number of dead and injured is likely to rise as they continue their search in the region's more remote villages. let's go right to. our he's following the story for us from delhi. tell us more about what's been happening in delhi was also affected what was a bike there. yes so yes city evening or late afternoon early evening this is when this really sort of hit delhi i was actually in an auto rickshaw which is a three wheeled open vehicle and we were kind of driving into the eye of the storm and it was you know the skies were very very gray there was dust flying everywhere

into my eyes and that soon transitioned into a rainstorm and we had a lot of thunder and lightning as well but you know delhi really wasn't hit as hard as other parts of the country other parts of north india like the states of there for theys and rob just on that's where you've really seen the most destruction that's we've seen trees uprooted snapped power lines and homes destroyed and so they really got the brunt of the storm over there now back here in delhi today you know i was just looking at the weather forecast a little while ago and it was saying that our forecast was actually listed as widespread dust but that's actually better than yesterday when it said blowing widespread but the problem is we could very soon end up in that situation again the indian meterological department has been forecasting that in the next forty eight hours or so we could get a lot more of the stormy weather across different parts of north india and dust storms are kind of common in this region why has this one been so deadly.

yes dust storms are quite common you know yesterday you know i saw at least in the part of delhi that i was in while i saw all of the things i just described you know most people were kind of just going about their daily business because it's something that happens quite often obviously though it was a much more intense storm in other parts of the country in those states that i mentioned and it's actually been described by some as a freak accident but it was that intense it doesn't usually get that intense another factor in why we've seen the kind of impact that we've seen in terms of the death toll which is still rising as you said is that a lot of this happened overnight while people were sleeping and they couldn't react they couldn't you know rush out of their homes as their homes maybe caved in or trees fell around them i mean they basically were unable to react because this happened at night and that's why we've seen the kind of impact that we've seen in terms what kind of. kind of response have you seen from the government there in

terms of relief efforts. yes you seen the two states predation rajastan their governments have have said that they are you know offering compensation to the families of people who have lost. their loved ones and injuries as well and so you've seen that sort of quick reaction but at the same time there has been some criticism of you who's the chief minister of what the british because he's actually in south india right now campaigning with the prime minister. in a state election that's happening over there and so there has been some criticism that you know he's off you know playing politics basically instead of being in his home state addressing this this crisis so i did start reporting for us from delhi to talk to you. now to some other stories making news around the

world the international red cross has called for the immediate release of a german nurse abducted by armed men from its compound in somalia the group said it was in contact with various agencies in the somali capital mogadishu to try to secure the woman's freedom. in armenia opposition leader has called for a halt to the mass protests that have rocked the country for days and response the governing republican party says it is willing to back question young to become prime minister if the streets remain calm. china's top diplomat has met with his counterpart in north korea it's the first trip to pyongyang by a chinese foreign minister in more than ten years and comes as diplomatic efforts to bring lasting peace to the korean peninsula gather traction the north korean leader reportedly told china he is committed to eliminating his country's nuclear arsenal and one of president donald trump's legal aides were to giuliani says the president repaid one hundred thirty thousand dollars spent by his lawyer to buy

a porn star's silence over an alleged affair with trump trump and previously insisted that he was unaware of the payment to stormy daniels but he has now confirmed what he calls a reimbursement. but first a changing gear at volkswagen after the admissions of scandal ben you have more of that now you know another story that has something to do with ethics to me more honest more open more truthful more ethical you would think you'd have to tell us stuff that these are all key to a healthy company culture but it's the plea by veto you both have at least at his maiden general assembly meeting the automakers still trying to clear the air of the fumes from the emissions cheating scandal. cleaning up is volkswagens main task right now at the company's a.g.m. in berlin it was clear the emissions scandal has no place in future now the comic is all about looking forward and who better to do that the new c.e.o. have at d.c.

been on the v.w. board for four years but it's not tarnished him and thursday's meeting helped him off to a promising start business is good diesel gate or no diesel gate was a remark first brands have developed well across the board even the key volkswagen brand has made clear steps towards greater profitability and sustainability we're heading the right way to ensure performance capacity in the future. and a half years ago no one would have believed we could have done that not even us first. few. sips is the emissions scandal done and dusted then not as far as german diesel lowness are concerned unlike us customers their demands are being ignored. we're still missing clear acknowledgment from v.w. that customers will be reimbursed they're still trying to deal with the situation

with software updates that's not enough always has far as the latest sales figures are concerned it does appear to be enough even german customers seem to bend no resentment apparently many have already forgiven a car maker that cheated them for so many years. let's get the take on this from. frankfurt how do you change a company's culture especially a giant like. huge task it's almost impossible especially as all the surrounding environment is still the same the chairman of the supervisory board was the chief financial guy before the trade unions have a huge say there is political influence in the force for ph families but how about these means business and that's probably the best way to do it mean business say you you mean business and then implement sanctions when you see them he says that his together for integrity program

a new program is supposed to ease whistleblowers actions and then that's to be. compromised sanctioned when there's something discovered ok that sounds good but it sounds like he's taking on quite a lot has he has he bitten off more than he can chew. probably but it's worth a try and he doesn't have a choice involves wagon does it doesn't have a choice he has experience in the company yet he's relatively new but you're right he also has the commercial question ahead of him how to improve margins e-cards and self driving cars it's a huge task probably one of the most if not the most difficult in german industry at the moment you had a family in frankfurt. now here's a conference call that back fired big time while electric come a contest that continues to burn through more cash than its earning c.e.o. we don't mosque has done little to ease investors fear is instead during

a conference call he refused to answer analysts questions calling them so dry and so did not cool as the share price plunged the company losing over two billion dollars of market capitalization in just a phone call the episode shouldn't put a dent in sales though there are over four hundred fifty thousand people on waiting lists for tesla. and. for the work business school have you ever experienced anything like this before no i haven't but i don't think that it was actually just three the call that led to the drop of share price he was more that there is a persistent problem in the production site that you know quarter after quarter the news is that they don't meet the targets and that starting to worry analysts investors. what this company needs is they already have a big personality but they also need someone to make it more profitable musk has

managed to achieve a lot but not profitability no he hasn't and i'm not sure if it's sort of you know down to an individual it's more to do you need to create an entire system that makes much production of cars possible or it turns out to be much more difficult than anticipated and a possible way forward could be that they find a partner that they go to a tier one supplier these are the sort of global manufacturers who don't have their own brands but create cars for established play as and work closely with one of these ones because they know how to do mass production with that watered down the brand i mean i couldn't imagine musk wanting to pull in a partner to help him along i mean he's not the sort of guy who needs someone to hold his head. no that's true you know he's not

a personality and he doesn't like the i don't see you would be a problem is the brand as i said established common to fracture is have cars being produced by these tier one supply a c b m w audi all of that for some of their cars produced by diesel supply is rather than themselves but there's also a trick in the sense that you need to learn how to work with partners of that kind and debts again something that elon musk hasn't hasn't done in the end he would need to sort it out if he goes that way ok. in the work business school thank you very much for joining us. the contrast to the challenges facing people like us around the world reporters that's right then of the challenges there are significant reporters without borders say hostility towards the press is growing worldwide often encouraged by political leaders even in democratic countries on this world press freedom day is taking a closer look now in its latest report reporters without borders classify the situation as seventy out of one hundred eighty countries as bad or very bad those

are the countries you see here colored on the map china and iran remain among the world's worst countries for journalists in china all media are subject to strict censorship and foreign journalists can be closely monitored it is estimated at least fifteen journalists and journalists like me. so much more because. it's your freedom let me tell you why freedom of expression is one of your fundamental human rights written down in the united nations the universal declaration of human rights it says everyone has a right to food and suppression this right freedom to all opinions without interference and to seek receive and impart information and ideas through an undercard that's a frontiers. and let me tell you about my country and pull of

a limitation of press freedom governments to control over state media broadcast pure propaganda and private media and political that american pressure by this government in two thousand eighty within a month six hundred forty eight people who were detained over social media posts criticizing government's policy and military operations in syria and they were not only. the constant harassment of nigeria for doing their job and the means to support society and the limit. society to or government. here in the united states the freedom of the press means that if you work for taxpayers chances are your work emails are public records. and that has enabled plenty of journalists to uncover areas of corruption in conflicts of interest that never would have otherwise been discovered here in kenya press freedom allows the citizens to make informed

decisions especially during elections this march three indian journalists covering sound mining were run over by a recruit there were murdered and they were murdered because they were exposing the addictive beauty of illegal extraction of sand from which many people profited and those people did not want the public to know that the public's money was being stolen i didn't want all of the most dangerous countries to work this journalist around the world. and i have witnessed how self-censorship and the lack of justice in our institutions have caused many grads and many of my colleagues. for more in press freedom well joined now by ali latif he's a journalist based in afghanistan where he has reported on issues facing afghan refugees everywhere and he joins us from the capital kabul ali good to see you on

monday ten journalists were killed in one day in afghanistan very tragically and journalists are aware of the risks that they take especially in areas of conflict but how do you personally deal with that risk when you're doing your work. all right it looks like we're having some trouble hearing our feed there are journalist speaking to us from kabul we'll try to get ali back on the line a little bit later in the program. for now though we're going to move on to some other news here in germany police in the south of the country have raided an asylum seekers hostel to detain a total ease man for deportation they have previously tried to take the man into custody on monday only to be threatened by fellow asylum seekers the police

response was a major operation that has highlighted germany's struggles with the high number of recent arrivals. the town of elbowing in at dawn never before have there been scenes like these at a refugee center in germany hundreds of police special forces were on hand to arista twenty three year old men from togo and attempt to pick him up on monday was met with violent resistance infuriating the german interior minister. what happened there was a slap in the face of law abiding people. it's a slap in the face of law abiding people because our hospitality must not be abused . and monday's attempt to arrest the man failed due to massive resistance by asylum seekers the officer in charge described how the situation

escalated. your colleague and four officers in two patrol cars were supposed to take a twenty three year old togolese back to italy in the early hours of the morning. they were supposed to pick him up here. but they were severely impeded violently prevented from doing so by about one hundred fifty to two hundred african refugees who live here in elven. and would have to the told police men has now been arrested and other refugees have been led away in handcuffs a few asylum seekers were injured after jumping out of a window charges have been made against twelve people for trespassing drug offenses and theft. the authorities say they'll take a tougher approach in the future. developing up she women for it will carry on deportations and do what is necessary to achieve this we will not allow illegal vacuums to arise as has emerged here we will work against this sort of behavior in the strongest way we can. with. a firm approach like

that has the support of most german politicians. ok we're going to return to our coverage of world press freedom day we have been able to get. back on the line a journalist based in afghanistan in the capital kabul ali let's return to the question we were asking you on monday ten journalists killed in one day in afghanistan journalists often do know the risks that they're taking but how do you deal with that risk to your safety when you're working sure thank you for having me i think it's kind of difficult because the issue is you really can't you know predict when something will happen so for instance in terms of the explosion and caldwell you know these were video journalist these were photographers and that's their job is to go out on the scene and trying to see and document what happened right in the case in the other case of the tenth person in the eastern province of falls he was simply in

a car he was on his way home on his way to work can't remember exactly and he was you know basically living his life didn't he wasn't out of bombing sight he was in any way risky he was simply traveling i think what ends up happening as a result of this is that a lot of people end up self censoring so if you're in an area where you feel like you're at risk or if you're trying to take on say a group whether that be someone like the taleban or the so-called islamic state or die issue or if you're taking on say an m.p. or warlord are strongman or government allied militia you have to be very careful and i think this is the biggest issue that journalists and honest on it are facing is that a lot of times you have to solve censor that is a big challenge what are some of the other challenges that you face in reporting from afghanistan. you know i think it's always one of those questions when you're traveling whether you're going to let's say you go into a bombing say rate or the site of some kind of an attack there is that calculation

of if it's an ongoing attack how am i going to protect myself how my going to make sure i'm ok and a lot of times to be quite honest you kind of reason your way out of it or monday story is an example of what happens when you can't reason your riyad. there's also the issue in terms of challenges you know when you're trying to go to a district or a province even even districts outside of kabul you know within the province of kabul but outside the city it can often be very risky and so it's always the sort of assessment you know of what you're willing to do and you find yourself having to make really difficult decisions and i don't know if you always make the right ones who is there to help protect you know what is the government doing or not doing to address some of these challenges. so you know the government always says they respect press freedom. and you know a lot of times the police like so in these sorts of instances can be very helpful the security forces can be helpful but in

a lot of times they also can be very hostile themselves and this is another issue that i think people often forget you know it's very easy to talk about when the so-called dietician a lighter groups or when the taliban attacks journalists because that makes for a good headline but there have been plenty of instances of security forces of m.p.'s of strong men of government allied militias of these kinds of forces intimidating and harassing journalists so i think what needs to happen with the government should be doing is really looking into these cases so for instance the case of the two b.b.c. journalists one in the eastern province of course on monday and another in the southern province of kandahar last week you know the government should really be looking into that and seeing who is behind it because if it is like a mafia if it is a strongman if it is an m.p. if it is the security forces whatever it is people need to know because they need to know the risks are an important message there from ali and laetitia journalist

based in afghanistan thank you for so much for sharing your experiences with us thank you now around one hundred central american migrants are camped at the u.s. border with mexico waiting to be allowed into the u.s. to claim asylum few will be successful as a criteria for receiving permission to stay in the u.s. are strict but some who are transgender may be in with a better chance to clear richardson reports from the forger. for the hundreds guatemalans and salvadorans waiting at the u.s. border the odds don't look good the vast majority of us asylum claims from central americans are denied for the transgender people taking part in the caravan the future could be somewhat brighter but after a grueling journey this twenty seven year old is still not sure what it holds in store. i'm a little bit tired from the trip. it was very long and we've been here waiting to

see what happens to us. she's one of several transgendered individuals spending time at this makeshift camp of mostly women and children. some twenty transgender people traveled with a caravan coming by foot by bus and by train all the way from near mexico's southern border they say they face violence and discrimination in their home countries and now they're waiting to ask for asylum in the united states they come from countries with some of the highest murder rates in the world where people are often killed or threatened by powerful gangs but it still wasn't an easy choice to leave home. what we need is to forget what they've done to us in one place some go somewhere else when i left my country it was very painful. by law the migrants are allowed to request asylum but to stay in the us they must show that they have suffered persecution because of characteristics like race religion or sexual orientation or that they have a credible fear. they are not granting asylum for fleeing violence that's not

enough of a reason but a well founded fear based on belonging to a particular group and in this case the community offers more possibilities of receiving asylum. that could give transgender people a leg up. but even the migrants who pass initial screenings face more hardship. their futures will unfold largely behind closed doors and often in long term detention centers as their cases are. they wus turning sixty five will take a look back at the past and ahead to the future coming up in the next thirty minutes. the ducted by rebels at the age of eleven forced to marry at fourteen released a twenty two evelyn story is fairly common in uganda tens of thousands of children

are kidnapped abused and forced to become child soldiers and their trauma continues even after they return home because communities often reject the children of terror young rebel captives in uganda. in forty five minutes on. the w.'s program guide on. the highlights. the whole. dot com highlights. no cause for celebration world press freedom day on t w. global inequality. in a globally connected well. when differences become disadvantages.

up until this at least right. close to the media. join the discussion and have your say. less global media forum twenty eight plates nation on this. is real seventy. two displaced nations at odds over one homeland see trivino a program. when robin and her friends agreed on peace but an assassin put an end to that train. to return. it's true that just leads to a story for the homeless. is real seventy years may twelfth on w. all broadcast times all morning. welcome back you're watching news i'm sumi so misconduct our top stories at this hour more than ninety people have been killed by severe dust storms in india's northwest extreme winds and rains brought down trees and destroyed buildings

throughout the region that's already said one the death toll is expected to rise. and media around the world have marked world press freedom day according to a new report by reporters without borders hostility to the press is growing with countries such as china turkey and iran among the worst offenders. there's a bell is turning sixty five years old today over the years germany's international broadcaster has become a worldwide multimedia network reaching more than one hundred fifty seven million people weekly we take a look back at how far we've come and the challenges ahead as looks to press on with free and fair reporting. sorry. for your version but i was you know the site of now about three thousand people on it just a small thousands have gathered for the opposition rally the ground is shaking as hungary sealed off its border to croatia. for joy that they can learn how to drive . from the deserts of saudi arabia to the streets of this hour

indeed it is our politics and power struggles are delaying the development of the entire country. and the corridors of power that i mean yeah that is the chief judge belted by city halls across t.v. radio online and social media. to india like most feel if you don't use on facebook like i didn't do it you fellows multinational teams of journalists bring reliable information to millions of people across the world in thirty languages. the station launched on the third of may nine hundred fifty three in the west german city of cologne. is to dodge a bullet to shortwave radio programs in german women to provide a source of information for germans living abroad but its reach soon expanded to

include programming in other languages. in the last sweater jeremiah you see love what. in one nine hundred sixty one the first bricks of the berlin wall laid the foundations for de w.'s current role as a voice for western democracy listeners behind the iron curtain used was a source of unbiased news you mentioned ron is that people were isolated and weren't allowed to travel they lived in permanent fear and stress they listens to all foreign would cost is not just torture vella the other foreign stations to go in and also georgia vella had an excellent reputation for them. referred to. the fall of the berlin wall and german reunification heralded a new era for door to villa in one nine hundred ninety two t w launched its satellite television station. point ok choppy. initially d.w. t.v.

broadcast six hours of daily news programs in german in english and the european view is devoted. and it was political turmoil at the turn of the century brought even more changes to the broadcaster after the war in afghanistan t w helped rebuild the media there to strengthen dialogue with the arab world it launched t.v. programs in arabic and. going to work related the idea that circle to the today show chabad talk has become one of the most successful programs in the region. around three thousand people from more than sixty countries now work for daughter bella from the german cities of bomb and berlin. slide from them and across the world. as d.w. expands further it holds fast to the values of democracy it was built on covering the stories that matter most and championing free and fair reporting into the

future. our chief political editor michelle spoke today that is director general peter lim book. so missile involved when daughter bella d.w. was found it in one nine hundred fifty three sixty five years ago it was a very different world from today how has changed. i think we once were the voice for the germans abroad we are here for informing people around the world and this means that we stand for freedom of press we stand for freedom of speech and the most important thing is to bring information to those who don't have access to information in the proper own countries now press freedom is increasingly coming under pressure so once again particular also in europe was not the case. i think there are many reasons probably also that autocrats rediscovered the power of media and there are a lot of international broadcasters who don't do journalism the do propaganda p.r.

and the internet with all its benefits also doesn't help always because it is a great platform for disinformation and so autocrats dictators have discovered this so it is getting more and more difficult to bring through the real news but on the other hand we have a quite strong brand here with. ninety six percent of our users think that we are reliable so i think if you have a strong brand you have to have two you have the chance to get through to the audience and the other question is how to. show that people must learn how to get access to media how to work with media i think this is very important literacy of media so that all this together can can maybe bring on a bit more power in this struggle against this information about is also taking

a stance it is just awarded its freedom of speech award to the iranian political scientists. what. can such an award really do to help those who are in the spouse dies and is this kind of spotlight or is a helpful sometimes a hindrance even yes i think we have to have to see that these kind of awards can support people and highlight this situation and it is very important for people who live in countries where there's knows freedom of expression to touche show them that there is an outside world watching and there are people who take care of them and try to to support them in the struggle for freedom of press and freedom of information yes in some cases it is maybe. even more dangerous for for for for these people getting an award so so we normally ask the people whether they want to the water or not so this ensures that we're not giving somebody in the

water who then would probably say this this is even country a predictive for my work. is director general peter limber speaking to us earlier there now it's been more than seven months since the syrian city of rocco was liberated from the so-called islamic state the militants had captured in two thousand and thirteen and made it their defacto capital but last october a coalition of kurdish an arab fighters backed by u.s. special forces ousted i asked after a four month siege the liberation of iraq a marked a turning point in the war against islamic state today only a few patches of land in syria are still under the group's control they no longer rule an extensive territory but rocco remains in ruins we have this report from the former i.a.s. capital. rocka was once the capital city of the so-called islamic state. now it's

a wasteland. seventy percent of the buildings are in ruins all severely damaged despite that the united nations says one hundred thousand people have returned to live in the city. this resident fled the fighting she's lost everything she had. all the money but i don't know what happened when i came back everything i owned was burnt there's nothing left. rocco was subject to the full force of the so-called islamic state which ruled an area the size of britain from the city. in october these limits fighters were ousted afternoon tense aerial bombing campaign by an international coalition and a ground assault by kurdish and arab militias and now there's the constant danger of booby traps there are signs to warn the residents but the un ses as many as one hundred twenty people a month are killed by the bombs most of the victims are women and children there's no international help in clearing the threat and everywhere reminders of resolving

state rule locals say the islamists use this church as a court and as a base for the religious police. on tiffin of money at this place is full of forms but there are also police charge sheets and written court judgments. in theory these documents shouldn't be here western and kurdish intelligence agencies claim they seized all the evidence they could to find out who joined us like this report here. a member of the religious police called abu abdullah caught a man with eight packets of cigarettes another man was arrested for using evil woods it's unclear what happened to the i.a.s. and forces and the people they targeted and then this square in central iraq the ultimate symbol of islamic state power and the place of execution months said he stayed during i asked rule. the square is called nine square paradise square but

everyone called it the square of hell. yes people were always here at them they hung around in restaurants drinking for jews or they went to the internet. you know . and over there they stuck heads on spikes and crucified people. the world watched as rockefeller now javier later the city seems forgotten there's no running water and the electricity supply is ready on but there are places of hope i had people in this stadium now people are playing soccer here again and there's music being played deafening the loud. everyone can hear it after it was banned for so long. there is plenty of european soccer to talk about we have jonathan crane from to use force to take us through all the action hi jonathan so the champions league finale

is finally set we're going to see a really good match up liverpool versus real madrid indeed i think it's for me a very very exciting find a reality course going for a straight title and the pool team the lot of pedigree in this competition five time one is of course they haven't made the final since two thousand and seven i said before it was going to be a head final head for a while because they were somehow managed to get the job done hot for liverpool because they start so much excitement and passion embodied by the end of the picture that you can close that you can't help but smile when you see him celebrating the. fans like you did last night now and i have to say i do favor liverpool over one match i think if it was two legs maybe the balance for tips for israel but liverpool if you catch them in the right mood i think they'll be too much real madrid i think they'll overwhelm them pretty sure the final will have lots of goals both sides not shy in front of goal and question marks over some of the defense but i have one interesting stat the last time these sides met in the

final was nineteen eighty one that was also like the royal wedding year like this year we had at sea meet from its early spain germany and england in the semifinals and of course the poor ended up won the women's in the finals of the i mean. ok well we have a little less than a month before that match gets underway meanwhile there's some good europa league action going on tonight what we look forward to indeed the pick of the semifinals pits two european heavyweights against each other outlets in chemistry and often on the first leg in london finished one also in many ways this one is still wide open let's take a look. it's all or nothing for arsenal for coach awesome venga it's a last chance at a title before he leaves the club and with arsenal stuck in six then the league europa league win is that only shot to champions league qualification after twenty two years with a gun as he certainly has more experience than his counterpart diego simeone the

problem is you don't know six years six years you know he is only sixteen to go. things are somewhat sunny. they hold the trump card of an away goal and on to much less pressure currently second in the spanish league with champions league qualification already in the bag but simeoni knows that progressing to the final is not a given and if we need the stadium to explode with the fans full of positive energy and passion because that's how we are someone else will do so everyone who is hopeful for a positive outcome will be welcome given that out we want passionate people with us we want people full of excitement we need to play a great game so we need to have a great connection between us and the fans. and that is. that she will draw would see arsenal go through for it letty ne win will do the fans certainly seem up for it i. all right so jonathan this is the

last chance to get european hardware with can they do it they still have a chance but i think you really have to say atletico you have the have the home fans behind them and they do of course have that away you go and i think if i don't make it to the final the only have themselves to blame because they don't like waste of a hat full of chances against a side who played most of the game with ten men off to an early red card so i think it's good to have the momentum griezmann late goal in the first leg and to make matters worse also have one in the league this year and haven't conceded in eleven matches those kind of stats favorite let's go i think the very capable of scoring a goal they need to question is whether they'll be able to keep. it interesting to see what do tonight do they go for it and try and kill the game off or do they kind of sit back and try to contain arsenal but from a neutral point of view who see. lifting your european trophy at the time of asking

after he missed out in the two thousand and six champions league final with arsenal and then in this competition in two thousand yeah from a little bit we do have to look at the other semifinal which is my say going to take a two no lead there this is their solutions yeah on paper it is because they don't have an away goal to contend with and i think if you look at the squads in terms of quality that has to stand out but i think it's far too early actually to write off they've eliminated brasil dormant in this competition they've eliminated. and that was off to overturning a two goal deficit they do school bucket loads of goals. and we know i must say they really travel well and have to look at that coaches are. actually guided eighteen's to the u.f.c. used to leak last season that was off the beach. on the law on the way a very highly rated she's already attracting but as leader attention if you can get into the final he will rise even higher all right jonathan crane from boston all

the european soccer thank you jonathan you're welcome. right now the european union is coming back into fashion among younger europeans that's according to a study of people sixteen to twenty six years old from countries including germany poland and the u.k. but the study which was carried out by the polling group also found that support for the e.u. doesn't equal support for democracy. whether in berlin paris or london younger people are increasingly developing a european identity that's the top funding of the study and europe's youth want their home countries to be part of the year. when asked how they would vote in a hypothetical referendum on this issue eighty five percent in spain would vote to stay in the e.u. . eighty percent would do so in germany and even in bracks it bound u.k. sixty three percent would vote to remain the european average is seventy one

percent. i would say we should stay because the e.u. is a good thing and we should work more toward maintaining european cohesion. the e.u. has specifically given a lot to ireland so for me i would definitely be to stay there the study's authors say negative feelings toward encouraging people to identify with the e.u. . are disillusioned from ukip and other parties who are supporting the perks that we're the discussion was already there during breaks to the old ones told the future from the young. on the whole young europeans also see their future as democratic although not all of the figures are encouraging. for instance on the question whether democracy is the best form of government sixty nine percent of

young greeks say yes. in germany that figure is sixty seven percent but in france it doesn't even reach fifty percent and the e.u. average is only fifty eight percent. younger europeans aren't all that susceptible to populism the study found but they'll need a better understanding of democratic systems if support for the e.u. in its current form is to continue. with. the republican conference is europe's largest annual conference on digital culture it kicked off yesterday in berlin organizers are expecting over nine thousand visitors from seventy countries over three days of talks and workshops and the mood is upbeat but also very critical. and we have karen holmes that from our culture death to tell us more about republika hi karen ok so tell us more about this

conference that things got got away yesterday with a with a bang they started quite with a bang absolutely with an opening keynote from a tech and social media scholar down a boy the principal researcher at microsoft and she really focuses on sort of the intersection of technology with society particularly with young people and how they're using it so very thought provoking here's a shorts snippet of what she had to say. here is security are on the rise both here and in the us and technology is not the cause technology is the amplifier it's mirroring and magnifying the good bad and ugly of every aspect of this and just as bureaucracy was manipulated to malicious purposes we're watching technology be a tool for both good and evil what we're fundamentally seeing is a new form of social vulnerability security vulnerability social technical vulnerability. so a bit ominous there technology obviously is the amplifier of our fears and she went on obviously with a lot of thoughts about what kind of a digital future we want to create for ourselves there was also

a very intimate and at times very emotional interview with the whistleblower and transgender rights activist chelsea manning who got regular rock stars welcome now this was her first trip abroad since being jailed for passing secret u.s. government files to wiki leaks and she was very critical of how governments and big companies are collecting and using people's data and the spectrum of this conference to me is just incredibly broad it's got topics ranging obviously from media and culture or political and technology all the way to mobility and for ten minutes it's basically endless but despite that spread what's what's clear is that it's becoming more political every year and definitely the approach to technology is becoming more critical so. here's let's just look quickly at what a couple of other speakers had to say before i go on. there's a lot of fun to be had. but with more and more problems surrounding digital culture

coming to life participants of republican twenty eighteen also discussed some of the most pressing issues of our time like ways to improve digital culture for everyone. why does it get us style my posts to and because i think we need to develop a type of digital ecology you could call it in the one hundred seventy s. because of the increasing pollution and threats to our environment and ecological awareness developed. and in the same way today we can change our digital economy is i knew in its place will create a digital ecology going to me when we get about going on to be good to be philosopher and also regard dogs of prey says right surrounding online services should be reexamined. big city given no idea if you notice it has a moment the winners are those who invest in big online corporations and i get

hundred this is all these are things that in the future will be basic services search engine social media why do these things have to be controlled by a private company that's dependent on investors with give me a license cannot you describe what if it is has to be part of our basic services like with electricity or the roads part of it all miss or that is the one for which rosin is dr saffir no bull whose work looks at algorithms and oppression would also like to see a shift away from purely financial interests google's a great advertising platform it does well to optimize content for people who pay it but that's not the same as a public interest noncommercial search space for example that is supported by taxpayers or the state that is curated maybe by librarians or professors or teachers or subject matter experts who understand the complex. representation and what's at stake when people have misinformation or dissent from

a quite frankly circulated. has turned into a huge international conference republican twenty eighteen to make internet culture and politics. as you can see there so it's incredibly hard to sum up obviously more democracy needed in our digital spaces but many people are also feeling that ethics is an area that has really been sorely neglected until definitely something ethics that a lot of people talking about in the lead up to this conference as well algorithms how they're use how they're not only helping us understand human behavior but also starting to determine your behavior here is the scariest thing and it's not really new but the interesting thing is that the way it's being combined now with some of these machine learning systems is what's making it so incredibly powerful for many companies as we've seen and it hasn't been properly understood by the public until now so this is you know it's the vote american vote as well in the usa absolutely i

mean you know we had this situation where algorithms were tailoring campaign content based on people's online behaviors based on information that people had about them so you're not getting a clear picture of reality. a picture that reflects something possibly completely different but it is going to determine how you behave after you've made certain decisions so algorithms obviously encouraged living in bubbles. this is something that's obviously a threat to democracy as many people are saying and policymakers the problem is that they are constantly having to to catch up to the technology they're really not at the forefront but awareness is increasing i think that's what we're seeing here republica and speakers are saying you know that now is the time to act if we want to sort of affect change for instance that last speaker that we saw there she looks at how racial and gender bias. bias biases are built into algorithms and every time

we engage with them that we can possibly unwittingly be reinforcing them so. cultural change needed in the digital realm more democratic controls a lot of positive action i think is what we're seeing here and it's very good that we're having more critical debates about what's going wrong in. the digital world absolutely they are somewhere around us all the time oh yeah well there's more on republic on our website definitely we'll be following it and there are lots to see there g.w. dot com slash culture karen helps out from our culture desk thank you very much pleasure you're watching t w sarah kelly will be here with an update on your top headlines in just a few minutes. we'll
