10:03 pm
square behind me and across the streets here over on this side of the road where hundreds of counted demonstrators they were heading slogans insults at one another and as the far right process has started to get on the me the march through the city tensions did begin to rise police had to send in water cannons we can see those being used it seems the more the it's herons but tensions very high here on the streets now as you can see behind me most of the processes have to specify but the concern really is what happens next while they were confined to these isolated spaces behind me and carefully watched by riot police who are standing in the middle of the street keeping the two sides apart they were they were under control it was calm when they spread out they want to side streets there is of course a real worry that the situation could once again become volatile and you've had the opportunity tonight to talk with people there i mean what have they been telling
10:04 pm
you about this entire situation. we spoke to a number of counted demonstrators brende one woman in particular said that she was from eleven on the original she'd been in germany for a number of years she told us that she was cool tough in the violence yesterday let's have a listen to what she had to say what's happening i saw huge groups of people with a racist mindset it was a right wing a mob they were running around freely in the city center and they were chasing migrants here with too little police presence they took over the city and to have been destroyed i've been on the job. so that ruin really backed up claims and reports that we've been hearing here that yesterday far right protesters what essentially hunting down people of the migrant background what she was keen to stress to us there was that she was very keen to come back onto the streets today said be part of these counter-demonstrations she said that she didn't
10:05 pm
want the world just to see from media reports these hundreds of far right national nationalists she wanted to say that there were also hundreds of people counted demonstrators who want to make clear that refugees that migrants they are welcome in chemist's they are welcome in germany suspects we understand they're in custody tonight after this weekend's stabbing i mean i understand that touched off all of these far right protest i mean how much do we know about the suspects tonight. that's right well pete lisa initially was quite vague about exactly how that killing unfolded they said it initially that involved people several nationalities and it was that that really fueled the tensions on the street yesterday and again today we have started to hear more about the tea people that they have in custody today with there's been confirmation that one of the suspects is in a rocky national another suspect the syrian national both of them in their early twenty's police have said that they don't know what the motive was and they will
10:06 pm
say it's not very clear how the attack on foldit what they have said though is that people must avoid speculating as much as possible avoid spreading rumors there are a number of room is around on social media and there is some real concern that revisits coots escalate tensions here and kept it. a correspondent in charlotte hills and fill in the story for us tonight in the eastern german city of kim says charlotte thank you we want to stay now with the problem of right wing extremism in eastern germany and take you to what is known as the neo nazi village and that's because the village of yamato has been almost entirely taken over by far right sympathizers in recent years now there's a notable exception. here every year in august this courageous couple takes a stand against extremism by staging a music festival promoting tolerance wus mario mueller reports.
10:07 pm
the village of yama has eleven houses with roughly sixty residents it looks a delicate but this is anything but a normal german village. budget not least once a year yama residents to get low my and her husband organize a festival in their backyard. and it's not your average summer gathering actually it's a protest twelve years ago when they started it as wanted to take a stand against neo nazis in this case that means almost all of their neighbors they say. for years the couple tell us they have been terrorized by them until one day their bond caught fire that was a direct attack because it says. board an indian flag on the neon we have become very vigilant in these past years especially after the arson attack on us we have installed security measures two it's a very difficult situation there is
10:08 pm
a constant sense of danger. to burn down barn was located just a few meters from their home. but behind me is a property of the little maya family here hundreds of people enjoying life music in a form of protest against neo nazis and others with far right views meanwhile when we turn around we can see on the opposite side of the village there's another little party going on. a notorious right wing extremist in germany has invited us like minded friends to come over for barbecue and in fact the police station just in front of his house to make so they can intervene in case of any confrontation. it's crystal clear who's turf this is the flag of the form. or empire is clearly visible from everywhere a moral szell's the residence vision of a german arian family. and
10:09 pm
a signpost points the way to. place and to leave no doubt eight eight is. for heil hitler these are only some of the nazi symbols we can find in the minutes. and he's the unofficial. his criminal record includes illegal possession of weapons and assault. so over there they're leftists and we are not and we have to listen to nazis out of the whole evening my own garden fence i was told to get out because i'm a nazi so i said i live here and you don't. they play music against us we have a nice day barbecue together we'll probably do this every year no against the left wing us. next door and. doesn't seem to can
10:10 pm
much they're here to support the message of fit and tossed. tolerance and democracy. where you don't nations investigators have released a damning report on military calling for the prosecution of its commanders for crimes against humanity the investigators say that the military orchestrated a campaign against the country's or hinge of muslims with quote genocidal intent on mars a brutal crackdown against the range of began one year ago the ensuing campaign of rape and murder prompted seven hundred thousand people to flee to neighboring. un investigators have made it clear to me and must high ranking military officials must pay for what they're now calling actions with quote genocidal intend. the mission has concluded that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted
10:11 pm
focusing on the talked at my door generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes the un used to call the treatment of the rohingya and a textbook example of ethnic cleansing monday's report is however the strongest condemnation so far based on interviews with over eight hundred victims and witnesses the report detailed a list of crimes committed against their will hinge on murder and forced disappearance touches and large scale gang rape the way in which sexual violence has been taking place in myanmar is particularly brutal and take it from a former special rapper tour on violence against women. the scale of brutality and systematic nature of rape and violence indicate that they are part of a deliberate strategy to intimidate terrorize opan ish the civilian population there used as a tactic of war. investigators are referring to the brutal crackdown myanmar
10:12 pm
launched against muslims last august fearing for their lives around seven hundred thousand of them fled to neighboring bangladesh now confined to crowded basic cambs many here welcomed the un's new findings. i'm very happy about this new house me and my other government has killed tens of thousands of our people right down miles and sisters killed our children and burnt out homes so of course we want justice for this. that. they must be punished by torture just because we're muslims and we read islamic verses they have nothing against any of the other one hundred thirty five ethnic. groups and me and we are the only muslim community and i just don't want to hear. un investigators say six military leaders and now the priority subjects for prosecution including commander in chief mean online but they say impunity in the country has placed the military about the low so the impetus
10:13 pm
for accountability must come from the international community. are what happens now that the world has this report about that i'm joined by christiane the film was shot he is a former member of the u.n. human rights committee and the un's international law commission is it's almost like it's good to have you back on the program this investigation by the u.n. it took place without the assistance of the mean more authorities we know that state councilor aung san suu kyi she refused to cooperate what does that mean for the credibility of this report and is it possible that the military can just simply continue to ignore as it has been doing while he could have been created but it is not a fact that by the refusal of the authorities still let the commission and of the country i think because they have so many pieces of evidence they can listen to what witnesses people who have experienced
10:14 pm
a lot want happened to their families that they had seven seven hundred thousand refugees fleeing the area down on bangladesh and it's easy to access them and to get first hand information from the white house what happens when with the u.n. security council do you expect the security council to refer me and mark to the international criminal court unfortunately i don't think so because myanmar has strong backing from china and from china is this you know to somebody because the international code there is something which they dislike because it could happen to them one day olds all yeah brings up the point. doesn't it that it's really important for a country to have a strong backer or a strong ally i mean you may have china but why for example we don't see you when investigation into syrian president bashar al assad for example and is that's because russia stands behind him right it's the same issue you know again well you
10:15 pm
can have an investigation and. what but what is the outcome finally and the outcome if you come to the response of a puzzle to see international criminal code while you have the facts if you can say that some years later yeah and maybe each august before an interim come out tribunals and also if he or she is outside the calm the country what about the united states it has not joined the you when accused me and more the military of genocidal intent how important is that while there is. the very cautious attitude of the united states and in particular the genocide is is now. well accepted you know a very small will come in u.n.
10:16 pm
circles because people feel that is entails a lot of consequences and countries a powerful should do something about it if you say this is genocide and this is a cold fraction nobody wants to act just send the military to me i'm ah yeah i mean it will be interesting to see what happens and if any of these generals do end up with the i.c.c. as you say it may be a question of years not months christiane thomas or former member of the un rights human rights committee and the un's international law commission it's almost as always thank you you thank. well here's some other stories now that are making headlines around the world russian opposition leader a lead singer of only has been sentenced to thirty days in prison for going izing a rally in late january it gets the country's presidential elections of all these spokeswoman said the sentence was clearly time to prevent him from attending another protest which he's called for next month police here in berlin are cracking
10:17 pm
down on organized crime they're targeting members of an extended lebanese family suspected of drug trafficking police have made several arrests in confiscated vehicles and properties the family so are expected to are suspected of carrying out high profile robberies including last year's theft from a museum of a gold coin worth four million euros festival go words at london's annual notting hill carnival held seventy two seconds of silence on monday to honor the seventy two people who died in the greenfield tower fire last year the fire britain's worst since world war two swept through the twenty four story grenfell tower in west one did last summer. are it's the deal dull and strong called a rip off has been renegotiated you go from ripping to renegotiate to putting it back together in some kind of form which doesn't really look like nafta as we knew
10:18 pm
it that basically is day what we do know is that the chump administration and mexico have reached a preliminary deal to replace the north american free trade agreement that is according to the u.s. president now donald trump we all know he's been a harsh critic all for nafta he called it a job killer he said it encouraged u.s. companies to move production south of the border to exploit low wages when it comes to the need trump says it will help manufacturers and pharmacies on both sides of the border. donald trump welcome to overhaul the twenty four year trade pact as he suggested a new name for it if canada is not included in this thing. he says to do they used to call it a nap they were going to call it the united states mexico trade agreement it will get rid of the name nafta has a bad connotation because united states was hurt very badly by now for many years and now it's a really good deal for both countries u.s.
10:19 pm
negotiators were pushing for a sunset clause requiring renewal of the deal every five years but the mexican side succeeded in adding a clause that would give it a sixteen year lifespan with the review every six years the two countries also agreed that seventy five percent of a product must be made in the u.s. or mexico to receive tax free status trump said a trilateral deal with canada is still possible but it's likely that ottawa will have to agree to new terms on the automotive sector he has put the car industry at the heart of his drive to overhaul the trade pact will start negotiating with canada relatively soon they want to start they want to negotiate very badly. but one way or the other we have a deal with it will either be a tariff on course were it will be a negotiated deal. and frankly a tariff and course is a much easier way to go but perhaps together would be much better for canada and we're looking to help you know we're looking to help our neighbors too we can help
10:20 pm
our neighbors that's a good thing not a bad thing the u.s. mexico and canada do more than a trillion dollars in trade between them annually so all three countries are hoping to finalize a deal. let's get the latest from a financial correspondent new york again school to joins us again say news of an initial deal between the u.s. and mexico what might it look like and what do you invest make of it. what we know so far is that specially when it comes to the car industry more cars than cars are supposed to be manufactured in the united states and what we also know is that this deal is supposed to get reviewed in about six years or every six years other than that we're still a bit short on details as the u.s. president. said the new name is so much more elegant than those what the rods from
10:21 pm
u.s. president donald trump so for now it's mostly a real branding actually so much will change in comparison to what we've seen was enough to so far remains to be seen the market at least reacted very positively than ethical was it to reach across the eight thousand point mark for the first time in history the s. and p. five hundred was the new all time high and the doll jones industrial average across the twenty thousand point mark for the first time since early february when is this really candidate will candidate simply be out in the cold well some people call it a bluff that we're seeing from u.s. president donald trump that the intention is not bilateral but to try to real deal and that she tries to put some pressure on canada to join this agreement canada's foreign minister is cutting a trip short to europe she's expected to be in washington on tuesday and then a new deal is. should be done by friday that's at least what we're hearing from the
10:22 pm
white house if that's realistic or not remains to be seen but that's probably the plan to still have some kind of an after a growing just was a different name and slight changes when it comes to the details all right on wall street for us against thank you very much. and it's back over now to brit for the thank you very much. well the women's rights organization. estimates that as many as sixty five thousand women and girls living in germany have been subjected to female genital mutilation or f.g. the figure has been rising for some years mainly because more migrants are coming from countries where she has practice a reconstruction clinic here in berlin you don't use correspondent kate brady met one affected woman who has joined the growing call for an end to female genital mutilation her name has been changed to protect her identity and one
10:23 pm
has to say. and while i was about eleven and twelve years old several people held me down then they cut me out of what 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 club so that the wound would heal well had done by like i had had i types of female genital mutilation very anywhere from damaging the clit or us to something up the vaginal opening in some countries the brutal practice is considered a rite of passage a prerequisite for marriage and then i am somali other procedures done by your so-called qatar they have no idea what they're doing they just have an eye for boundaries and they cut us to even after two and a half years in germany thirty six year old the for seeking advice that balance

doesn't flow as that into which office reconstructive surgery and consultation for women affected by s.t.m. . dr cornelius joins advises those effects and but germany service is 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 need 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 a living in germany an increase of twelve percent on last year. this is due to the increase in migration from countries where female genital mutilation is particularly prevalent in the german this means countries like somalia. and iraq. in a statement to germany's family and women's ministry described female genital
10:25 pm
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 the hung country for a so-called vacation circumcision there's very little that all thora to well the german government can do. volunteers and teachers therefore play a huge role in the i'm thinking move the only way to really gauge what's going on is to have a vigil in society because that particularly means people who work in close contact with families who might potentially subject their daughter to after. these people should be particularly attentive these are. ted if estimates that fifteen and a half thousand girls living in germany are in danger of after. failed her three year old is among them. miami good my three year old daughter has been circumcised but if we sent back to somalia who i'm one hundred percent sure they have grandparents
