10:03 am
us good morning linda how could the sides protest get organized so quickly. it was absolutely coordinated and incited after the knifing incident occurred in the night from saturday to sunday reports apparently immediately were to be seen on far right social media sites that attributed the ny thing to migrants of what these websites called southern origin and the same website said that the victim was a german with russian roots and these websites called for protests against this action and that called was then picked up by a group that calls itself they are football fans of the local football club f.c. cabinets and they are known for extremist actions both inside and outside the stadium and in this case the ultras called on people to take to the streets
10:04 am
and show others who's boss in our city and and what we see there on the screen right now was the result of that so absolutely incited and in fact those protests then overpowered the police in the initial stages and the protesters absolutely targeted people who appeared to be of migration origin you know eastern germany has of course been in the headlines recently ford's right wing extremism how is the situation the situation there different from other parts of germany it absolutely has been in the headlines there was a very big anti immigrant shit gratian demonstration in the city of dresden in saxony in the middle of august and in fact this state was the birthplace of the zina phobic movement piggy which brought tens of thousands of people to the streets of greece then in twenty fourteen to protest the so-called islamisation of germany
10:05 am
and this is also the state where the far right party actually was. the strongest party in last year's federal election in saxony so what's going on in saxony and in eastern germany as a whole it's a paradox really brian because the fact is this is a region where there are the lowest number of migrants of foreign residents nonetheless the far right fares best where it can exploit a sense of insecurity and frustration and that is absolutely present in many regions of the east that has to do both with demographics and with politics just briefly the demographics this is a region that has seen real deep population since the fall of the berlin wall young people moved away to expand to look for better opportunities in the west order people remained and have a real sense of precariousness in many especially rural regions of the east add
10:06 am
that to the fact that there was a general mistrust of west german political institutions that western german political parties have never fully taken root in the east and you have all the ingredients for a very fertile environment for the far right on the ground for us this morning on the story thanks very much. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news today and me and mar the verdict in the case of two reuters journalists on trial for breaching secrecy laws in their coverage of the expulsion of the rohingya muslims has been postponed for a week court officials say the delay was because the judge was ill the case is being seen as a test of press freedom and progress towards democracy. pope francis has declined to comment on claims made by the former vatican ambassador to the us that the pope himself was involved in the cover up of sex abuse by an american cardinal francis was asked about the claims on his way back to rome from ireland archbishop carlo maria began to know who made the allegations has called on francis to resign.

africa leaves women with lifelong pain and scars physically and emotionally unicef estimates that more than two hundred million girls and women are living with the effects of. a reconstruction clinic here in berlin the w.'s keep brady talked with a somali woman who's joined the call for an end to have her name has been changed to protect their identity. as. i was about eleven or twelve years old several people held me down then they cut me off they laid me on the table i can still picture it i had such horrific pain well then they sewed me together. they tied my legs together for a month so that the wound would heal. the head had i typed the female genital mutilation very anywhere from damaging the clutter to sewing up the vaginal opening
10:09 am
in some countries the brutal practice is considered a rite of passage a prerequisite for marriage. in somalia the procedure is done by your so called cutter they have no idea what they're doing they just have a knife and they cut. after two and a half years in germany thirty six year old he for seeking advice a balance doesn't flower center which offers reconstructive surgery and consultation for women affected by half. dr cornelius joins advises those effects and but germany services an expertise in f g m a still limited. when i studied medicine and was uncovered in the subject. but i know this is changing and i hope that trend continues but i still meet colleagues who either know very little or absolutely nothing about this and he got into this according to ted if some sixty five thousand women affected by after living in germany an increase of twelve percent on last year. around this is due to the increase in migration from
10:10 am
countries where female genital mutilation is particularly prevalent in the german this means countries like somalia eritrea and iraq. in a statement to deutsche avella gemini's family and women's ministry described female genital mutilation as a human rights violation during this legislative period the ministry also plans on working more closely with germany's youth welfare offices but when it comes to some parents taking that young daughters back to their home country for a so-called vacation circumcision there's very little that all thora to all the german government can do. volunteers and teachers therefore play a huge role. the only way to really gauge what's going on is to have a vigilant society that particularly means people who work in close contact with families who might potentially subject their daughter to. these people should be
10:11 am
particularly attentive. ted if estimates that fifteen and a half thousand girls living in germany are in danger of. her three year old is among the. miami goodnight three year old daughter has been circumcised but if we stand back to somalia who am one hundred percent sure that her grandparents will make undergo the procedure. but for the first. it's already too late. to make that was. those who had to experience. but i'm a fighter. i hope that these women are healthy and i hope that at some point in. the report by did abuse kate brady who's with me now in the studio good morning to you it's very difficult to get women to speak out about this about what's happened to them what are the risks for them talking is actually right there is
10:12 am
a lot of pressure when i come here. within the communities but also this is why having spoken to various volunteer groups over the past couple of weeks they said it's so important that there's a big push integration here in germany particularly of these women because they are then more likely to speak out the more that that integrated into german society and they have german friends and they feel more comfortable there was one lady that i spoke to she's lived down in munich and southern germany now for a couple of decades and she said it wasn't actually until she had quite an open conversation one day with one of her female friends that she found out that this simply wasn't normal and she was twenty years old at the time and of course there are many complications as a result of this and in the meantime then if they do speak out they can be receiving psychological support and also medical help for the physical effects you know one of the reasons why there's been an increase and here in germany we've seen
10:13 am
a twelve percent increase your on your current exactly i mean over the past since about two thousand and fourteen the increases being here two thousand and four sorry if you look at the numbers back then it was about twenty four thousand and one now looking at about sixty five thousand women in general labor and this is largely come off the back of the increase of migrants coming to germany from the countries where this is often carried out so that's kind of made. northern off african states and also parts of iraq and yemen and that's because there's more women coming from there had this procedure they've been subjected to this procedure in their youth and are coming here as are the what's being done right now to clamp down to to and or at least curtail its level does violence against women well there are a lot of support groups lobby groups and the government has said the family ministry said to us they are planning during this legislative period to work more closely
10:14 am
with these groups and of course one of the things that these support groups are asking for is more financing at the moment a lot of like also this reconstruction center that is funded purely by donations but of course there is a lot to be done but at the same time while authorities can now take passports away from parents for example who they suspect have taken their children back to their home country to have this procedure carried out on them at the same time it is difficult to exactly spot who they are and then you also run the risk of suspected innocent families and so it's difficult to not talk every room with the same brush they might just be going back on holiday to their to their home country ok so there is a role for the government and a big role for n.g.o.s as well thanks so much for looking into the story for us kate brady for a story. the united nations migration agency is warning that venezuela is heading for the same refugee crisis moment seen in the mediterranean in two thousand and
10:15 am

in formula one racing ferrari sebastiaan fettle made a quick pass on the first lap of the belgian grand prix and held the top spot for the rest of the race he also trimmed rival lewis hamilton slim lead in the driver's standings the race was marred by an early crash the fortunately no injuries. just seconds after the stunt and with lewis hamilton is a bust in petal having already clear the corner there was drama in spot. the culprit was nico who teabag in the yellow red no the crash propelled mclaren spin and the loans are through the end and on to show the clinics. that drive is made out unscathed thanks to the halo system which is only been used in the sport since the beginning of the season the race was over but them but no fun will tune in pencil to put on quite the fight to the finish the german strong demotes of prove the difference though as he took the win it was pencils victory this season.
10:21 am
ok let's take a look now at the standings after thirteen races with twenty five points for victory fettle has moved within seventeen points of hamilton both drivers have five wins so far but there's a long way to go in the twenty one race season third place kimi raikkonen and fourth place a voluntary boat well distant in the rear view mirror. well a group of workers has been rescued along the argentinian coastline after the tides washed them ashore over the weekend the same group of rescuers were called upon twice to help the killer whales back into the sea. it's not an easy task workers average about six meters in length and weigh three thousand six hundred euros.
10:22 am
those rescuers congratulations not quite in order yet for the nafta deal but it could be in sight it was a bargaining marathon abroad and over the weekend in washington now u.s. and mexican trade negotiators are reportedly close to squaring away bilateral differences to update the north american free trade agreement nafta in response we see the mexican peso gaining nearly one percent this morning now this agreements between the two countries have been a major obstacle to renegotiating the deal which also includes canada us president donald trump has been a harsh critic of nafta and choosing mexico of using it to take away jobs from americans canada us talk trade negotiator also expressed optimism and i must say a new one after the earth could reduce the risk of a global trade war talks are set to resume on monday later today.
10:23 am
now for more let's bring in our financial correspondent paul britt standing by at the frankfurt stock exchange paul how hopeful are investors that this is it that an agreement is about to finally happen. well christopher once again kemas down to how trustworthy do people believe donald trump's tweets are he was very open boasting on saturday in tweets that. relations with mexico were getting better by the minute that potentially a deal might be a very big deal might be very very close now the mexican side is a little more has attend with the mexican economy economy mr minister defense and one of those saying nothing is finished until it is actually finished and that has a tahsin despite the hopes of course that a new nafta agreement might help to better relations. that sentiment
10:24 am
of doubt also carries within into the trade traders here in germany in particular are very critical of what ever trump says basically they don't believe in one direction or the other unless there is you know ink on their assigned document they're going to remain very skeptical now paula should it come to pass what kind of signal would a renegotiated nafta deal towards the tensions around the global trade these days. we have to be careful not to overestimate this even though we're all looking for positive signs. and the positive signs are showing you mentioned the peso has gone up and also. shares of auto makers have gone up b m w w folks are going to miller rose about one percent here that's because auto parts and the import
10:25 am
of auto parts from mexico to the u.s. is one of the major wall battlegrounds between the two and this issue apparently seems to have been resolved that's what negotiators mentioned in the press. three things so that's a positive sign. but. we can't forget that canada is still part of that agreement it's not just bilateral it's three three parties have stepped aside in order for the u.s. and mexico to figure out their a bilateral problems. and will then come back so that's still open and even if we get the nafta agreement there's still growing trouble with china between the u.s. and china and that doesn't seem to be resolving anytime soon instead there's been further terrorists just the past week frankfurt thank you. chinese writing service d.d. is suspending one of its carpooling services the move comes after
