of thousands of centurion roma murdered by the nazis in his speech european commission bice president said since people still face racism and hatred on a daily basis indeed in recent weeks roma people in ukraine have found themselves under attack from right wing groups one man was stabbed to death in front of his children nick connolly travelled to western ukraine to speak to his widow and to other victims of the violence. this is how do we began in april twenty eighth team. attacked a room account in the ukrainian capital kiev copycat attacks soon followed across the country in late june twenty three year old david pappas was stabbed more than a dozen times in the western city of leave his death provoked an outcry inside and outside ukraine's borders the teenage suspect now in custody but how could this have been allowed to happen i what has become the survivors. where in the
4:18 pm
village where david pappa grew up from here it's just a matter of kilometers to ukraine's western frontier we hungry and. the region is home to ukraine's biggest roma community many of them live in extreme poverty since the attacks people here have become wary of strangers and it's only with the help of pastor fed your progress that we are allowed in he takes us to meet david perhaps we don't you boy the first time she's spoken publicly about her husband's murder. he says when those teenagers came to attack our camp they didn't say a word they just started going at us with. them there are children here but they just started attacking us even move viciously my husband was lying dead in front of me after that i lost consciousness. on the day of our visit the boy received a call from the police and leave asking her to testify in court she refused the fish she says is too great since the attacks police have responded to requests from
4:19 pm
community leaders to step up their patrols and roam a district. court about the roma community leader and a local councillor in the past most of his work was about helping roma people gain access to basic government services many here don't even have a birth certificate let alone a passport just in recent months he's been confronted with a totally new set of problems as the victims of the attacks come to him looking for support. i don't understand where this hatred comes from we've never seen anything like this kind of open discrimination these kinds of attacks. we need to get around to solving the roma communities problems now we're not just kick the can down the road we would have moved everybody miroslav takes us on a visit to rod bunker a roma community on the edge of the sort out there we meet claro a survivor of one of the attacks in libya. these old people and children they
4:20 pm
smashed my brother in law's head in and just left him for dead but i don't want the attackers to go to prison prison doesn't make people any better they were just kids after all that's up it. up to it's a point of view we hear time and time again whether people here are ready to forgive simply fear further escalation we can't get a clear answer as we continue our walk through red bunker with miroslav the atmosphere suddenly turns there's been a break in the political church and suspicion is poland and the inhabitants of this road a community that more moves so if it wants them they'll give it all back. someone broke into the church the minute i do have pictures we never do find out how the investigation ends but now the police never come without behavior arrest at a time when the roma community needs the police to protect them or the never relations with law enforcement attempts them out but suspicion. our
4:21 pm
correspondent nick connelly hears such as that report joins us now from nick tell us about the mood among the rogue communities that you visited in ukraine are people there for a. could often tell you well that if needs a lot of fear in those communities people said they would not go back to ky able to be of the big cities where they had been spending sneakin amounts of time in search of work the fear is still too great so now they're back in their villages where there aren't a whole lot of options many people thinking about trying to get work abroad back you know hungry wanting to really struck me though was the thing we heard tom tom again people they were looking for vengeance they were looking for the people behind his tax even to go to prison and they were worried about escalation tit for tat in response to these attacks presumably the murder case you mention at least is being investigated what do we know about the investigation in the suspects in the
4:22 pm
double pop murder case such as it with the exception of the presumed organized that they are all teenagers they're all minus they're currently in custody or under house arrest awaiting trial and we understand that they had met on social media where they had all been active on platforms used by far right activists in ukraine and in ukraine's neighboring countries what about ukrainian authorities nic how are they dealing with this upsurge of bile and you report described against the roma community well off those first attacks we saw in kiev where people wounded but no one was killed the silence really was deafening here the police failed to respond and it was only off this murder in late june that we go to a significant reaction also on a national level from the interior ministry the matter of belief where this
4:23 pm
happened you could say that probably one of the reasons that is that this got a lot of international attention and we even heard from the ukrainian authorities in france called pay day that's the reason we were in who were basically accusing the police of having done too little too late in saying that had they clamped down harder and faster on this they were sure that it wouldn't go to this murder nic thank you very much nic connelly there talking to us from kenya. and of course it's not just in ukraine that romance and people face discrimination and for more on this now we can speak to george you've been over it she's the president of the european roma rights center and he joins us now from sochi know beside in serbia first of all in our report we heard about increasing violence against cincy enrolment in ukraine what can you tell us about the situation for cindy and roma in other countries. so just to give you an idea of what kind of a year two thousand and eighteen has. for example in bulgaria.
4:24 pm
conviction for a hate speech gets to be a deputy prime minister of the country and the biggest irony that he gets to run the national council for integration of minorities in the country at the same time we need for example interior minister calls for. the need to keep promise ethnic cleansing. and express regret that he contacts belt italian. or italian citizens to suggestions about census was rejected illegal but then we see the real consequence of statements in the everyday life of people last week in rome we said we have picked example of where for example the local authorities carried out a massive action of roma from their houses where they were evicted. providing.
4:25 pm
and against and this is very important against the interim order of the european court of human rights. people. all this creates a climate in which human rights rule flow and international is not back and this is why roma are suffering because of this you seen all of these. sort of things are all very valid examples but i'm just wondering about a trend. based on your work you say that. is on the. so. twenty years in we all know that discrimination against an ongoing issue but then more and reporting. their reports and their their records showed us that there is more and
4:26 pm
more discrimination against roma and we were thinking that this is naturally because more reports but actually what we see now is that discrimination against drolma actually increasing and we see a natural increase in the last and. more reports and more unfortunate cases. thank you very much the. roma rights center here speaking to us from. we're going to take a short break oh when we come back we're going to be taking a very close look at google there are rumors that it may be patching plans to ensure china in a big way after all that and i will both be working on the other business in our new segment all that and more coming up in just a minute. but

w news hunter and our top stories international observers have condemned police action in zimbabwe following that country's election security forces killed three protesters yesterday and have now sealed off the headquarters of the country's opposition party. and the european union has marked roma holocaust memorial day and on earth the roman since the people murdered during the second world war the e.u. war and roma still face persecution around europe today. now these days that china china is renowned for its great historic wall of course building started on the mammoth fortification back in the third century b.c. to protect it from invaders well these days china also has another wall it's
4:30 pm
known as the great fire wall of china. it's supposed to protect chinese citizens from undesired foreign influences now first set up in two thousand the great fire wall blocks access to certain websites and terms that the chinese government deems dangerous any with criticism of the government or terms that refer to the student massacre in tiananmen square square in one thousand nine hundred nine are prohibited in the past the tech giant google has spoken out against such internet censorship in fact that's why it pulled out of china in two thousand in two thousand and ten at that time back in two thousand and ten google's co-founder said and i quote our objection is to those forces of totalitarianism our hope is there is progress and a more open internet in china well how times change eight years
4:31 pm
later google is reportedly secretly plotting its return a new report from the investigative website the intercept says the tech giant has a team secretly working on a new censored version of its search engine for china. well for more now or joined by the author of that report about google ryan gallagher he's a writer and investigative journalist with intercept and he joins us from brighton in the u.k. also with us is patrick he's a researcher with amnesty international's china. china's service and he joins us from hong kong let's start first with you ryan i'm hoping you will be with us here in a moment. your me ok we can hear ryan let's start with that tell us what have you discovered about project dragon-fly in your work
4:32 pm
tell us about dougal secret effort to get back into china. basically dragon-fly is the project name for. an underage girl has developed for smartphone users in china and the idea is that it will get them to a censored variation of google that is compliant with the really in communist party regimes censorship controls over information that people cannot see is on the internet in china and then google is trying to get back into china. using this answer. yes once it's launched and at the moment it's a. google idea was to have it ready between the next six to nine months to watch but we'll see what happens and the story that we published yesterday may through a sponsor in the works. now this is supposedly
4:33 pm
a secret project how many people at google know about it i can imagine some might have ethical concerns about bowing to restrictions of an authoritarian regime google's unofficial motto after all used to be do no evil. that's crazy i mean there's a lot of concerns i'm google but first of all i mean actually kept the secret secret always to not just from the public but with then google because google is a massive company they have about eighty eight those and employees globally but with then only a few hundred it talks new this project absolutely actually kept a secret within the organization and actually what i'm finding now is that that that itself is a huge scandal and google today because a lot of people have no phone data but the sense i get and they don't know about it they feel that it's been kept from them and so they're angry of it up i think that's you know where the interesting aspects about this is the level of secrecy
4:34 pm
because google was well aware controversial this was in the actually trying to suppress the information from getting out ok brian tell us more about how google is actually operating yet now or now in china and how it's going to deal with the revelations that your work has brought out. well over the last few years they have been sort of quietly creeping up their presence in china you know between to those steps and to those in ten google dead previously operate sensors search engine and china but through those intense ating concerns about free speech and chinese government hocking and other things. but since. but since then they actually have maintained they have an advertising team there that sells ads and actually generates huge revenue sailing ad space to chinese companies that want to advertise in foreign markets but also in the last couple of
4:35 pm
years been in the bit and launching small apps late for example as cheney specific translate and just last month they launched a game on the chinese we chat platform so they've been slowly turning off their presence and change and this sort of culmination of this is supposed to be the one show of the south shop which is of course the biggest thing of them all. but it's also the most controversial one so you know as i said we're yet to see how that's going on or whether google as no going to still proceed in one g. despite this absolutely extraordinary us that we're seeing from all kinds of people over the report that we were just showing the development of the censored up front thank you so much that was ryan gallacher with the intercept he's a writer an investigative journalist with that and he joins us from brighton in the u.k. . well because money makes the world go round of course spends here to
4:36 pm
explain why google is getting back into china i think there is hardly anyone is not used google at some time without even realizing it in many cases it's the best known face one of one of the world's biggest companies alphabet which has a cap of a seven hundred thirty billion dollars together that supposed revenues of two hundred twenty billion last year and google is not only about search engines anymore it's also mapping the entire world providing half of the world's smartphones with android operating systems and even researching the transport systems of the future of the chinese market office astronomical revenues and google wants to get back in challenging the likes of home grown by do it shares fell by seven point seven percent on these reports let's talk about the reports with theresa loka from news website motherboard germany tres good to see you again. how legitimate other reports first of all they're pretty legit first of all the
4:37 pm
intercept broke the story they referred to one whistleblower and leaked documents and later on those reports were confirmed by reporter new york times citing two sources familiar with google probably and google employees and google itself has kind of dance around the topic a little bit by saying they don't comment on speculations but they have already made efforts to break into the chinese market and send up each i is also known as someone who wants to re enter the world's largest internet market we're talking about seven hundred seventy two million yes it uses i guess that's tempting but does google really need to i think they do because in china there are companies that are way more successful in binding. basically every part of uses life into one app like we chat they have government approved mini apps within that they do
4:38 pm
everything from micro payments to virtual i.d.'s to social networking to communications of politicians and also by do the search engine giant and china has a big part in that so yes they want to definitely into that but if the chinese can already do all of that today google well it depends what what google stands for and this is the exact the exact question if google is just as one employee criticized today turning into a censorship machine in china they might not because then they can already used by to the other problem is that even if google is not censoring or would be not censoring particular search terms china with its great firewall is already employing a service by cisco that prevents the forwarding of the search results so even if the results would be displayed the page you would click on would be turned out like just briefly i also read online. one comment that even
4:39 pm
a new to version of google would still work better than by do well it could be if it depends on how how extensive these censorship efforts are but for sure they are big they're big shift from search of brand new also has had experience of said you've been the google founder who has that experience with told terry newsom and that is why he opted out in two thousand and ten after four years of killing and censorship by the chinese government and google's not afraid of getting split up at some stage i mean if it continues to grow so we're ready an octopus you could say in the corporate world it has its finger in every and then entering such a huge market i mean it would be globally done with it yet it is true i do think that they still listen to their employees use or that is to be hoped at least with google maven we've seen that some steps they were taking were met with a lot of chris's criticism and it still being the octopus that it is it still has its code of conduct the line don't be evil if you see something evil hear something
4:40 pm
evil speak up so it is to be hoped the employee is to exactly that phrase look i thank you very much for coming in and i can thank you. starbucks is teaming up with online retailer alibaba to keep pace with china's growing coffee market it's a companies will focus on delivering cups of coffee via remote lap beverage deliveries is set to begin in beijing and shanghai next month starbucks hopes to fend off a challenge by beijing stop lockin coffee which has expanded rapidly on the back of base delivery starbucks remains the dominant force in china and says it opens a new cafe there every fifteen now it's. back to terry in a spat between two nato allies. had been it is escalating a turkey is threatening to retaliate now against the u.s. after washington impose sanctions on some of its government officials the sanctions are in response to the detention of american pastor and her brother who was

4:43 pm
prototype called berkland can operate autonomously. experts in houses in norway have been developing autonomy's ships for decades now the first self driving cargo ship designed for regular commercial use is nearing completion a full scale. is due to be operational from twenty twenty she'll carry fertilizers from manufacturers onto further transport at one of the larger ports relieving traffic on land. by doing this they're reducing the number of truck journeys by forty thousand per year through. urban areas so it will have a huge impact on local society with emissions less dust less solemn less emissions and also safer traffic situation norway is investing in modern shipping not only developing a thomas ships but also looking at green technologies with many of the countries sure it's heavily polluted by fumes from large cruise ships noways adopted

a success engineers are trying to perfect software to enable the ship to handle stormy weather and oncoming traffic they're working on steering it via satellite and they've also decided a two person crew will be needed at first for safety they would be cyber security risks there would be maybe the social interaction people might play a kick in right and the technical ability where it. went it's said that it is in place. autonomy as ships like the land will likely only be used for short distances during their initial deployment but in the future perhaps these carriers will be able to see all the world's oceans without a crew. football authorities are considering changing the format of penalty shoot outs to make them fairer reduce the pressure on players going second the name of the new system has
