celebrated moguls his studios were behind a string of oscar winning films in weinstein's hands an actor's career could be made or broken but his story began to fall last october when the new york times published multiple reports of serious sexual misconduct more than seventy women came forward to accuse weinstein including some of hollywood's biggest female stars allegations range from unwanted sexual advances to rape. in the days ago actor asia argento spoke out at the con film festival i have a few words to say. in one thousand nine hundred seven i was raped by harvey weinstein here at cannes. i was twenty one years old. this festival was his hunting ground. i want to make

a prediction harvey weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again. weinstein has denied all allegations of unwanted sexual contact with women law enforcement officials have been investigating the claims of criminal conduct against him since late last year. in the wake of the scandal weinstein's wife has left him his production company has filed for bankruptcy and he's been ejected from the academy that once honored him with oscars. the allegations against weinstein also sparked the me to movement women around the world have leveled allegations of abuse against powerful men in the entertainment business and government top the watershed moment has led to a global discussion on gender equality and changes in the way women are treated in the workplace. culture is a green kennedy has been following developments on the story for us enjoys and joins us in our studios hi adrian some of weinstein's accusers have been reacting

to his indictment today as rose mcgowan who was key figure in the me two campaign and one of the first to accuse harvey weinstein of sexual abuse a spokesman for the press she expressed satisfaction at developments but was also keen to point out that the problem was not just harvey weinstein but also the structures that supported and unable to him the complicity of machine is who i hold even more in judgment than him because there's something wrong in his brain what is their excuse will you be going to you and he if this group the trial will be in time. i think have well if i'm allowed to i will attend and hopefully that will actually heal a lot of the. kind of trauma i get when her face i never hear his

name i never have to read or hear that he says it was consensual and i'll get that there and i get to look at it and i get to be and i and so many other victims will get to look him squarely in the eye and just by being there represent the fact that we did not want this we did not ask for this we were just people. the actress or rose mcgowan speaking there as you said adrian one of most vocal critics of what you call the complicity of the system others have also reacted on social media telling an actress who we saw in the video who's also accused weinstein of right just posted a link to the news of his indictment with the word initially she posted a message that read today harvey weinstein will take his first step on his inevitable descent how we the women finally have real hope for

justice actress. who is another of harvey weinstein's accusers posted a link to a report saying it's whites and followed up with anyone know where i can get a front row seat so clearly a lot of people are very happy with this development a lot of joy and a lot of relief at a moment that a lot of people didn't think would have come and we mentioned earlier that this harvey weinstein case actually led to or gave birth to the need to campaign essentially and after that we saw similar allegations against other people very high up in the industry. the new allegations almost on a daily basis against hollywood players but also against people in many other industries but yesterday there was news that a major hollywood star eighty year old model freeman is facing accusations the act has issued an apology saying that. the coding to

us media reports. eight women have come forward saying freeman has subjected them to a range of troubling behavior on film sets of primes from towards the allegations include the hollywood actor making comments about the parties and. inappropriate touching in a statement the actor apologize to anyone who felt. uncomfortable or disrespected this is definitely a big day for me to campaign what has it achieved well let me tell you social media campaign achieved a lot so many people all over the world it started went viral after actress lisa milan showed it or twitter. it came in the wake of the failure of courts and the legal process to deal with sexual abuse of that kickstarted very

important discussion about how we deal with sexual violence and also i was very important in showing the endemic nature of the problem some very powerful figures countersink more than two hundred some have had to resign or been far off the allegations but others have strenuously. defended themselves and south asians are and are still in the positions of power as me to found her on the day this is a big moment when we move from the court of public opinion into an actual cool true she says that this will become thought sick for the victims up to now there's no indication that weinstein will not continue to deny the accusations but this is a watershed moment key moment for a very effective me to campaign one that was already honored of course as time

person of the year the silence so i expect that there will be further developments and we'll be keeping you posted on the right to get these kennedy covering the indictment of harvey weinstein in new york city today for us thank you very much adrian thank you. let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world spain's prime minister mariano rajoy is facing a no confidence vote the country's largest opposition party filed a motion against him after his ruling party was convicted of illegally financing election campaigns his conservatives are challenging the move but were for his main ally in parliament is already calling for a snap election to replace him a court in kosovo has jailed two doctors for illegally harvesting kidneys and selling the organs to wealthy patients in other countries the court says the doctors use fraudulent means to recruit patients and their organs were sold for as

much as one hundred thousand euros. and in canada fifteen people have been injured in an explosion in the toronto suburb of mississauga police are searching for two men suspected of having detonated an explosive device inside a restaurant police say the three people who were admitted to the hospital in critical condition are now stable you're watching news still to come ireland votes in an historic referendum will the traditionally catholic country decide to reform its strict abortion laws. but first to diplomacy is most complicated flirtation first they set up a big date then they got cold feet now the leaders of the united states and north korea could be ready to get it back on that's after donald trump reacted positively to conciliatory words from pyongyang following his cancellation of a summit planned for next month now says the talks could go ahead as planned but his decision to play it hard to get with kim jong un is drawing condemnation in

south korea. i think the ban is reason we condemn trump in south korea surprised at the canceled summit is quickly turned to anger. these protesters near the u.s. embassy in seoul leaving little doubt about their feelings towards the u.s. president. the u.s. unilaterally pulled out of the north korea u.s. summit and we're angry about that we hope the u.s. returns to the dialogue table immediately. this is what's provoked the anger a letter from donald trump to kim jong un blaming quote open hostility from the north seemingly a u.-turn is just a day before trump had hinted the summit would take place. in north korea the reaction figuratively speaking hasn't been as explosive as some might have thought

. was. these tunnels at a nuclear test site were destroyed as a gesture of goodwill the dust is barely settled before trump penned his missive but despite that there is still openness here to talk. stuck in the middle east this man south korea's president mean jane has been treading a diplomatic tight rope to broker the talks but even he was caught off guard saying he was quite perplexed by the cancellation. china appears to be the big winner from this development nervous about how the deal would affect its role in the region beijing could now hold the key to future talks. china has always played a positive and constructive role on north korea's nuclear issue we have no all tyria motives on this. what happens now could come down to hubris as much as anything trump for one has staked

a lot on this summit. so have investors ben is here with market reaction to these on again off again talks this is a weird one trade is used to this type of talk from either trump or kim surveyed the rhetoric has changed dramatically is furious south koreans took to the streets believing washington a missed and historic opportunity global equities plunging that europe bouncing back when north korea said it's still open to talks despite transfer of occasions that's remarkable and contrasts with john gangs usual belligerents it cool down trump and tweeted very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from north korea. markets reporter what is best is make of all this. well i mean they certainly like this development better than the prospect of the world inching closer to a nuclear crisis and that's certainly something that they expressed on the european indices which are all probably higher paring back the clients although it has to be

said that this week well and in decline overall for european markets the first weekly decline the first weekly decline in two months and it will break the longest winning streak the euro stock six hundred has had since june twenty fourth. the west is often accused beijing of stealing ideas from its industrial greats now germany's leader mikel has spent the second day of her china trip in the innovation help of change in getting tips on how to make self driving our cars and artificial intelligence areas in which china is said to be taking the lead business has been top of the agenda. and when it comes to working together on technologies merkel says better data protection is key she also called on president xi jinping to improve access for german companies in china. but he is building a is engine for us so the chancellor is on a high tech who are checking out everything from out official intelligence to.

startups as well has it got that saw that the west is now trying to copy the chinese. in china as well as trump's cancellation of the kids. well yeah the trade the trade war between between the u.s. and china has put germany in quite an interesting position because both sides now want to pull the country on their side so china has been very charming toomer america. has been discussing a lot of issues in fact germany has a lot easier trade relations with the u.s. than with china but. for for the moment these countries need to work together if they want to if they want to preserve some kind of rule based world order. the consolation of this meeting in singapore of course

in the middle of her visit she hasn't said anything about it she she declined to comment on this issue but for china and india and for the whole region this is a real. problem and everything is now it's start again i table have to leave it there mathias building out for us in change and thank you a u.s. court has ordered south korean electronics giant samsung pay five hundred thirty nine million dollars to its rival. in american tech firm had accused samsung of copying its design for smartphones samsung argued it should pay much less in damages but the court siding with apple a warning about half of the billion dollars apple is demanding a legal battle between the two tech giants had been dragging on for years. as a sunni and a pivotal vote taking place in island thank you ben we'll voting has started and historic referendum in ireland that may lead to

a loosening of the country's near total abortion ban currently ireland has some of the most restrictive laws in europe irish acts that have been flocking home from as far away as bangkok los angeles and sydney to cast their ballots as both cannot be cast from abroad. final preparations for an important trip home. meghan wool is an irish emigrants in london she's one of styles and straddling back to art and to cast her ballot in today's abortion referendum. meghan is in favor of repealing the restrictive abortion laws. i think that every woman should have autonomy over her own body and no woman should feel the need to travel to access a basic human right meghan is one of many who will wait some of those arriving home received a warm welcome like here at dublin airport. polls

opened at seven am local time and close at ten pm tonight more than three point two million people are registered to vote in the referendum. polls opened at seven am local time and close at ten pm tonight more than three point two million people are registered to vote in the referendum it's the sixth time the country is voting on the issue if the public votes yes the irish government has said they would legislate by the end of the year to allow for abortion up to twelve weeks with medical care yeah i know today now i have to base it for a price so vital for us and it's a hard decision for us it's a spade and i just don't have the right to take. i think life to say chris and for that reason so i'm hoping that a yes to posture say i think it's very upsetting divisive issue but i think it's the right thing for the women of our land care compassion dignity and safety equal

health care yes. and the results of an exit poll on the abortion referendum will be announced late on friday. is covering the referendum for us in dublin and she joins us for more hi bereket as we saw in that piece there been weeks of bitter campaigning in the lead up to this referendum what is the atmosphere been like today. well where i am in central dublin and this is really all about the vote here when i look around i see places a lot of yes spaces actually also some notice as you can see behind me ballots the majority here is expected to vote yes a lot of young people are out on the streets a lot of young women they're still distributing stickers they're still trying to talk to people because we know that a lot of people are still undecided and have been for a really long time so campaigners are still trying to get their message across the

yes campaign us most likely to win here in dublin but we don't really know because of so many people being on the site and also there's a phenomenon that's called the silent no vote has no voices that don't really want to admit that they're going to vote no because they don't want to be seen as backwards and we really don't know how big this proportion of vote is going to be so they can tell us more about how this referendum has divided ireland. it has divided all and really in between families a friend of mine told me that they cannot discuss the issue together with the grandmother she's asking her kids to do her own research and also asking them not to discuss it with granny because she knows that she feels very strongly about it and then she wants to protect the unborn life but if you compare it to the first referendum debate in the eighty's it's much more open many more people are now saying that there must be a much more liberal it's really about whether ireland is going to continue its

journey to be a much more progressive country it's about a lot at stake just about the country defining itself and also about the role of the church which has dominated ireland really for centuries spots with a lot of scandals like child abuse we had that we've seen recently the role of the charge is really diminishing and the question is how much is the stronghold in our society and we're going to we're going to see this also with this referendum the catholic church as you said bergen has always had a big influence in ireland and tell us more about what really is at stake for the future of the society. well it's really about going along with the view of the church or not actually it's been quite interesting many people have us the church to step back in this debate and not play it really a prominent role and not preach at every moment to to just to protect the unborn

life because the church has had a really bad name e. n. ireland recently however i have heard that is not always the case of hadifa first communion which was it took parts of just a couple of weeks ago which is of course with very small children and the priest did mention the referendum debate and did two votes no use to to maintain the really strict laws so the church is not always as hearing to as they certainly have are all in the in the debate and we can also see and some churches that we've seen posters outside we've seen very emotional debates about this process with unborn babies with heartbeat but of course the passions are running high on both sides and both sides are still hoping to win this. match reporting for us from dublin thank you bigot. to colombia now where voters head to the ballot box on sunday to elect a new president it is the country's first presidential election since the

government signed an historic peace deal with the former far guerrilla group but the future of the deal could be at stake with public opinion divided over how well it's holding up critics won voters to use the election to show they are unhappy with the country's rocky new peace. a vote for no one is better than no vote at all that's the message behind the blank slate collective spokes person the tail rincon gal that says casting a blank vote is the only way for colombians to show their dissatisfaction with the choice of candidates in the country's election. blank vote does have political consequences and in our constitution it allows for a new set of candidates that would also include a new set of programs to politicians would want to implement in any prospective government. he believes a protest vote could unite colombians who disagree about the country's peace

process more than a year after it was signed the agreement between president juan manuel santos and the former funk guerrilla group is still dividing opinion. is a good one i would like to know that for colombians it's a joke you know i was in peace because there's still a war where the guy must do know that we all want jail for those who have not been punished by go karts that he has a good in every sense of that in the process of the waitresses is very good and helped us a lot of what doesn't help anyone. european we tell you that to god that we achieve it because peace is fundamental for country it's what we want. maybe and surprising then that the two strongest presidential candidates have starkly different views on how to lead the country forward evander k. takes a hard line against fox he says he'll do everything to put former grill is in prison and keep them out of politics. for the length of it what is the worst part of the

deal that there was a conceptual problem from the very beginning of the process think it of if you want to build peace in colombia you have to bring all the actors together at the victims for example have not been included in this process and that is a huge problem that the victims have to be granted legitimacy and the political position even if their stance is different to the governments which is supposed to represent the victims. but they say i love my. style though petro is a former guerrilla fighter himself his aim nineteen group reached a peace deal with the government almost three decades ago. a self described progressive leftist petro says he's willing to work with the fox who now holds ten seats in the congress. i basically. istanbul's kind of i think it's the far right who is seeking to polarize at the moment and this phase of the peace process. along. i mean

a sandal they continue to break the core of the peace agreement at least the one with a fire and their political participation as a party if the participants you avoid because it is a you group i think the fires have proposals that we can agree with and that is why we consider making an alliance with them in a way yes that. petros party has tapped into a vein of anti establishment sentiment but many in the electorate fear his socialist agenda could trigger an economic crisis similar to that seen in neighboring bennett's weyler a crisis thirteen million seek refuge across the border in colombia. you're watching d.w. news and still to come on the program the netherlands and australia say russia must acknowledge its role in the downing of the flight m h seventeen over ukraine this

after investigators confirm the missile but down the plane came from a russian military unit. and the man who ran fifteen thousand miles around the united states meet a great issue for sky. we'll have those stories plus a look ahead at the world cup coming up in russia that's all in the next thirty minutes. where to store germany's nuclear waste experts are searching for any disposal site that will be safe for a million years for done such a place even exist. how much it all small then we can share there's a technical problem upon a sound. exposing the myth of safe disposal of the nuclear waste

line. in forty five minutes on d w. i'm not over out and they will not succeed in dividing us about not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of his dictatorship. taking the stand global news that matters. made for mines.

oh we can be the generation that ends it so good malaria must go on so millions can live. welcome back you're watching g.w. news the reminder of our top story at this hour this crazy hollywood film mobile harvey weinstein is being arraigned in court after turning himself in to new york authorities he's facing charges of rape and sexual assault after dozens of women in the entertainment industry made allegations against him. the netherlands now

officially say russia was partly responsible for the two thousand and fourteen downing of malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen and they're demanding that moscow acknowledge its role prime minister appealed to russia to cooperate with a criminal investigation and negotiate over reparations flight m.h. seventeen was shot down over territory held by progress in separatist forces in eastern ukraine and two thousand and fourteen killing all two hundred ninety eight aboard russia denies responsibility. and here's what dutch foreign minister staff bloke added to his government's allegations. other. direction could it be clear that because of the outstanding work of the joint investigation team there is no indisputable proof of a direct link between the missile with which flight m.h. seventeen was shot down and the russian army. strong allegations coming there from the netherlands let's go to moscow now our correspondent emily

sure what is standing by for us there emily what are the reactions there. well the kremlin today the spokesman from the kremlin dmitry peskov categorically denied russian involvement in the downing of the mh seventeen and we also heard a statement from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who said that he had spoken to his dutch counterpart and that actually the dutch side provided no no facts for russian involvement and the russian strategy here has really today and yesterday been to question the evidence presented by the joint investigation team they've also provided sort of an alternative version today the defense ministry issued a statement where they said that the anti aircraft system involved could not have been russian because it's too old and it doesn't comply with security standards of

the russian army and they also used that to point the finger of blame at ukraine because they said that ukraine does still have soviet aircraft systems so they're very much tonight and questioning the evidence questioning the investigation as well as the objectivity of the investigation and really what about reactions to the dutch demand that moscow be ready for negotiations on reparations were there any comments on that specific point. well the kremlin spokes spokesman did answer question on that he said that all questions over compensation should be directed towards the foreign ministry so kind of no details on that though he did answer a question but what we've seen here in the mosque in the reaction from moscow is kind of part of a pattern that we've seen you know over the the whole period since the downing of

the mh seventeen this version of the anti aircraft system being too old is just one of the versions that's been presented from the russian side over the years and that's kind of part of a strategy that we see you know with all sorts of accusations towards russia and towards its allies when it comes to the use of chemical weapons in syria when it comes to the doping scandal in sports when it comes to the poisoning of former russian spy screwball the strategy really seems to be did not to deny the accusations to provide an alternative version and question the objectivity of the investigation and also to paint the accusations as part of a political campaign against russia we've seen that again today and yesterday the foreign ministry issued a statement yesterday saying that this case is discrediting russia in the eyes of the international community all right really sure when thank you very much emily for bringing us up to date. now authorities in saudi arabia

have released at least four women's rights activists detained after a sweeping government crackdown at least eight others are still believed to be in custody the women have been vocal in the movement demanding an end to the kingdom's male guardianship system many also defied a ban on women driving cars and went behind the wheel to demand a change that ban is now due to be lifted in june the government accuses the women of conspiring with foreign powers now one of those arrested was monday our drew seen here being interviewed by do that funny for char. and we have funny fish are with us here in studio as well as saudi activists hold by rita good to see you both thank you for joining us for not start with you you were in saudi arabia recently as we said what do you know about these arrests what can you tell us has your heard of course several arrests have been made sort of course of the past week between may fifteenth and may eighteenth it's unclear how

many people have been arrested there's no confirmation by the saudi government what we do know through human rights activists or society activists living here in germany or in the u.s. and human rights watch the least ten people have been arrested and it's really all clear why there's been a release by the saudi government of press release that states that these people had some sort of a context of foreign entities and make a name to destabilize saudi arabia at the same time prominent members prominent activists who were fighting like. we're fighting for the lift of a driving ban be arrested as well and you really ask yourself why especially at this time that just a few weeks later end of june and june twenty fourth just driving ban is supposed to be lifted. in a march and this is what she had to say about the ongoing change attempts in saudi arabia. you know one of the first things we've been asking was the driving and the right to drive and we have to remember that the driving is not the only thing we

need we need it many many things but we used the car as a symbol it gave us the opportunity to go in the streets and to be very very visible for people to really see us and see our demands or was also very interesting to me a conversation in my idea and i wish that she was so positive about the ongoing changes some human rights activists actually say this charm offensive of one have been some of the crown prince works so well that even human rights activists believe that even though medea herself was arrested last week and now she has been released as deferred yesterday it is really interesting funny khalid i want to come to you know because you actually left saudi arabia because of your active activism what do these arrests mean for you actually this news was a shock to me i was expecting some activists to be released i'm still expecting zot especially those who were arrested because of old. habits and whatnot to be arrested that make me ask myself the new government are really serious with thirty

four funny when i come back to you not to ask you because in your reporting as you mention this charm offensive by been some on the prince of this reform drive is known as a vision twenty thirty and he has promised that it will improve the the vision for women in the country what was your experience of when i spoke to were very euphoric including by the young has been arrested last week very euphoric about these changes because they thought as she suddenly sound bite but they've been heard that the efforts are not in vain the efforts for decades but also sense of sort of insecurity at the same time because one major element has not changed and that's the guardianship system rule which also muddy how pointed out in our interview. i think with women right now the major issue we're struggling with on the legal aspect is the guardianship women are really prisoners and she is seen as a child she doesn't have control over her life when it comes to guardianship. so

obviously the guardianship rule is basically the next battle that these women these activists want to fire the questions really now after the release of some of them how much they're going to speak up or whether they are so intimidated that they are not going to fight for these things for which i saw you just a nodding your head there i mean do you see agree with or you see women as prisoners in saudi arabia are you pessimistic optimistic about the future show only a household or all of us should to do otherwise if you think would collapse but if you may come back to reality i should say that's not again chip is the big obstacle which of his if so would you woman now to wage and. we can see that it was a prison which i altered to my book is a. struggle even in the present day stand struggle in each of their lives because of cease got to chip right the struggle then continues thank you both so much for joining us funny for char in saudi activists. good to have you both with us. and staying with the

topic of women's rights and we want to update you now on the situation of a young woman from sudan who is facing the death penalty for killing her husband who she says raped her noura hussein was married against her will last year when she was just nineteen noura says several men held her down while her husband raped her in the first week of the marriage she says when he attempted to rape her second time she stabbed him to death activists around the world are protesting her death sentence of some one million people have signed petitions which have been handed over to sudanese embassies across europe. and let's talk with a new boss do you know who started that petition she joins us from in france where she lives say no thank you very much for joining us we understand that you actually don't know nora personally so how did you come across her story. well i came across just two years more on the bus on instagram from the woman was

called in but as he's in the puzzle speaking of all of us. from sedona was forced to marry him and it's no longer true and that she was going to be sentenced to this because she waits because she was raped and that she killed the men that sleep. alone from a president then a friend sent me a little video post of allegedly from an activist would be nice and then she was emerges in the. news channels speaking of no that's true and it was speaking about the story of mota so the first impression when i get up with this story i was really ill as not others ok i wanted to me as a snake some hold that i needed to show this to me in blood just we and you know to get into as the. head of both the silly. shows too early in

this and what about it or a made made you feel like you needed to act why did you feel that you needed to act . that are like a news i've heard it happened before like the stock market is the same so you both for example we as if you're here are both. zina and i was pretty together well read and mulga in i think one of them wasn't india and pakistan any going very well and there was a feeling bad because i hadn't shared the story like i did routine no for example the daughter and i usually have to ask i feel like i have to speak up i have to do something or else i'll feel guilty that i made. something of you know i don't need a good thing i mean and need hashed over for this i need to continue in other posts because i was trying to reason with is. trying to get people to know

the story and find a way to help now her legal team is appealing the death sentence how hopeful are you that they will be successful and then i'll actually feel like the cool be successful. the stand is over the news this week then in court is pretty complicated so i don't more you feel we should see the whole theory all right then. who started this petition to thank you so much for sharing your efforts with us today. back to bed now in a sea change in how tech companies handle personal data now europeans are back in control of their digital lives new rules mean citizens can demand companies like facebook google or amazon to tell us what kind of personal daughter of als they hold what they do with it and the lives you rules mean citizens can demand

companies like facebook google or amazon to tell us what kind of personal daughter of als they hold what they do with it and have it corrected or even delete it. whether you use the internet to search for information connect with friends or simply to do your shopping going online means sharing personal information but in many cases it's unclear exactly what happens to that data who has access to it what can companies do with it. the new e.u. legislation aims to address some of these issues. under the new rules companies will only be allowed to collect data relevant to their services so weather app for example won't be allowed to access your address book or photographs. the new regulations also afford individuals the right to launch a complaint with a supervisory authority in their own country instead of potentially having to

challenge a foreign company abroad those violating data protection rules will face harsher fines instead of the maximum three hundred thousand euros in germany companies will face up to twenty million euros in penalties or four percent of annual turnover whichever is bigger for facebook that'd be one point three billion euros. the new regulation requires companies and website operators to pay closer attention to what they do with their users information. and remaining legal anomalies are likely to be settled in the courts in the coming years consumer watchdogs have welcomed the new rules and say they give individuals more control over their personal information. time for our tech editor our until the collecting of private data is mostly going on behind the scenes we all know that. what will change now though because. i mean this collection of dollars going to continue will

of click on a button. but then i guess again we want what's going well on the consumer side some things are going to change i mean most people actually just kind of click through the terms of services i mean i think for the i tunes terms of service if you read actually try to read it out it'll take thirty six hours to read through the whole thing people have actually done that in the past just to see now for the consumer those terms of services are supposed to get a little bit easier easier to understand the information presented there is supposed to be presented in a clearer fashion so that is one change that is going to come into effect another change for the consumer is that they will actually be able to petition companies and asked them to provide the data that they're collecting on it to them so that they can verify that they are holding the in line with the current european data protection laws and also if they need be they'll be allowed to actually request the companies delete that information or give it to them so that they can move it on to different companies so at least for the consumer things will be changed and they will have tools that they can actually use these rules instead

a patchwork of of twenty eight regional and national bodies doing that well that's exactly right and that's i'm sure that part of the criticism that people have levied against this new set of laws one example is that the germany's data protection minister basically said that he's going to lose a lot of power through this because right now or in the previous laws he could actually go to facebook which is example that he used and say ok you're not using consumer data the way you should we would like to fine you or force you compel you to be to bring your practices in line with what we require now and he's not going to be able to do that instead because facebook's european operations are based in ireland he will only be able to partition the irish government to then start up for a process some type of legal measures against facebook so at least within the context of individua. countries will be giving up a little bit of their sovereignty which could be problematic in the long term because you're talking about the big corporations of the moment what about the small guys what about small business well that is really kind of an interesting

point because right now this legislation was obviously written with companies like facebook like google like apple in mind but we've seen a lot of trepidation among small medium and enterprises i was talking to one photography here in berlin recently who gets paid to go out in the street and take photos in the vents at parties and things like that and she said all of her business partners canceled her contract for the next six months because they aren't certain that they will be able to take those kind of photos given the new legislation i also talked to a series of realty agents and even people as small as singer songwriters who said that the not even certain that they'll be able to keep up their e-mail mailing lists because they're not certain if they are conform with the new regulation and while some of that may be a little bit exaggerated it does kind of speak to the uncertainty that some of these new data protection laws sort of kind of injected into the market and we're going to have to leave it there i guess a lot of lawyers telling me as well today that people are overreacting but it's better to play it safe exactly thank you very much for coming in.

all right thanks ben well for some of us the thought of running a marathon is enough to be exhausted so imagine how it must be to run six hundred in just over a year that's exactly what a british man did but why would anyone do such a thing it is jared reed is here to tell us why hi jared who is this person first of all well he is someone making me feel incredibly fit i have to say his name is rob party and as you say he's clocked up a lot of kilometers and miles running across the united states in total over twenty five thousand kilometers which is clogged up by zigzagging total of five times across the country here he is beginning his journey as you say the equivalent of around six hundred twenty four million steps and he returned returned to england every so often because he had to renew his visa but it didn't mean you have any down time you actually still competed in marathons while he was there and many come back to the u.s. and keep sort of chipping away at this pretty incredible journey you know before we

get depressed about feeling lazy i should point out that rob is a professional marathon runner who's won championships in australia and in england and he's also a veterinarian now we have to say running all that way is probably really great for your fitness and fit cholesterol levels maybe not so much for your looks we can have a look at what rob looked like before he went on this marathon here is nice . and this is him it's. about sort of morphine into here or forrest gump here you see. he said inspired him to carry out this journey and as a bit of fun rob and some of these friends recreated that scene from forrest gump with tom hanks as forrest tells his friends who is with him that he's going to start running now and that he wants to go home back to his love jenny and i in fact

the first thing rob did when he finished was to propose. to he's go friend the dean ok a lot of similarities yes so why did he do this just because he's a huge forrest gump fan and there is so aside from clocking up this personal achievement it was to raise money for two of his favorite charities the world wildlife fund and peace direct he was aiming to raise fifty thousand pounds i didn't quite get there he is at thirty two thousand so anyone's anyone who wants to donate can go to going the distance dot com we spoke actually to rob earlier and we asked him what was the hardest thing about doing this and he said actually it was just getting out of bed every day which you know you can actually believe just to top things off as a reward for his if it's he was invited to prince charles's seventieth birthday party so it just goes to show you that life is like a box of chocolates you never know. what you're going to get so you mean it is indeed well done. great from day to social media thank you for bringing us that story today.
