a second day of tension in the city formally known as karl marx stopped. the rightwing protesters rallied beneath a bust of the father of communism but their message was typical of the contemporary far right. to the crowds yard was right the generator the germans they shout foreigners out. was how it was. and the journalists got it to new. york and. the press they chanted the german version a fake news. group that angle followed the lethal stabbing of a german man early sunday morning during the city's annual street festival the killing was attributed to two young men one from iraq one from syria. later on sunday far right protesters took to the streets with overwhelmed police having to

draft in reinforcements from out of town. i was happy even to us i saw huge groups of people with a racist mindset it was a right wing mob they were roaming around freely in the city center they were chasing migrants here with too little police presence if they took over the city but you have been described i know many government spokes person stephens i said the events in candidates have no place in a democratic society. we do not accept marauding riots like these nor the hounding of people who look different all come from somewhere else no attempts to spread hate on the streets. god god god god god how stark get out of our city far right supporters chant in this video shared on twitter after the weekend's violence but as they protested counter demonstrators were determined to send a very different message. our correspondent charlotte shell some tell us following

the very light latest for us from cannes that's charlie good morning to you were at these protests yesterday how intense were they. morning sue me there was another night of violence here on the streets of kenneth last night tensions was simmering throughout the evening that we just paint a bit of a picture for you about exactly how the evening unfolded they were hundreds of far right demonstrators just behind me and then across the street just meters away over on the other side hundreds of counted demonstrators now they were being kept apart by riot police here in the middle that was largely successful through the early part of the evening but then as the fall right protesters started the march throughout the city it did appear that some control was lost it was then that stones started to be thrown from both sides fireworks was thrown as well there were reports from police that it. is on the far right side what seems to be

doing the hitlist salusa they really was a lot of tension here on the streets yesterday evening and we know from police the number of people from both sides were injured in the scuffles that ensues charles there was a lot of criticism that there weren't enough police on the streets on sunday on this first day of protests what was security like last night. yes police on sunday face a lot of criticism for not being prepared for exactly what took place if the numbers of people that gathered on the streets of kenyans in fact that they they they were forced to call in extra resources extra officers to help police the area they were keen not to see or a piece about yesterday and so there were a large number of police on the streets fully armed riot police we saw water cannon here as well they were fired as far as we know they were more terence to keep the two sides apart to keep control although again it has to be said that there has

been further criticism people still think that that just once enough given the huge amount of people who were on the streets last night surely these have been dramatic at times violent scenes right in the heart of the city you've been speaking to locals what have they been telling you. yeah a lot of people keen to stress that while the number of people into the region they all say well we'll say locals on the streets last night on both night supposed to extremely concerned about what is unfolding in cannes. on the far right side people all grown increasingly concerned about the influx of migrants here in this region those who are on the streets yesterday evening say that they want to express that concern they want to express their opposition to the policy that allowed so many migrants a into the country over the last few years they say the normal consent citizens can send by the killing that took place on saturday evening on the other side they the counter-demonstrators told me that they want to send

a different message to the world they don't want just images of far right protest is being through cost around the world they want it to be clear that germany and kenya's is still a welcome that migrants are still welcome him and charlotte what's the feeling will these protests and the unrest as well continue in kenya. there were a number of calls yesterday evening from the far right sides of the protests in the coming days as of course something the authorities we watching extremely closely because one thing that we have really seen over the last couple of days is just how quickly huge amounts of protesters from both sides can gather can assemble here and how quickly things can start to get out of hand so they will be watching in the coming days whether there all will process not just here but across the region. following the latest developments for us there in chemists thank you charlotte. now to some other stories making headlines around the world united nations

from around the world are meeting in geneva to discuss the future of so-called autonomous weapons systems also dubbed killer robots these systems can operate and kill without human guidance critics are calling for these controversial weapons to be banned. germany's armed forces already make use of semi autonomous weapons base add offenses to can seek out targets on its own. for now soldiers still have to give the order to fire but fully autonomous weapons are being developed they can select and attack targets without humans at the controls. they're highly controversial supporters say the new weapons are needed in modern warfare and will help people make ethically responsible decisions. warfare is becoming so fast right now that human beings are not capable of making intelligent informed decisions like they could in the past others have voiced concerns that autonomous

weapons could diminish human responsibility in war we don't want to have happen is robotic system isn't out there causes some kind of mass casualty event and we know humans have all. these activists in berlin are protesting against autonomous weapons they want the german government to campaign for them to be banned worldwide . fairly what's dangerous about artificial intelligence and robotics is that they're altogether removed from human decision making about a good deal about what's useful for people and what's not about a concrete situation human intelligence is still required for that. an international ban on autonomous weapons systems would only be possible with the unanimous support of the united nations but with the u.s. and russia both opposed that's highly unlikely. robert frost

is an expert on international humanitarian law at the european university of the adreno only focuses on autonomous weapon systems he joins us in our studio good morning to you let's talk about these autonomous weapon systems is a very controversial what do you think of them what are the biggest ethical issues here i think the biggest ethical issue is can we as a society live with the fact that a machine has taken a decision to kill a fellow human being it's not either i anymore it is a machine against a human and that's a problem what are the consequences of that oh there are many consequences the ethical perspective as you've just mentioned the legal perspective a political perspective from a legal standpoint there are many questions raised by those devices so give us an idea of what this would look like what sectors could they be used in. there's a wide array of sectors in which they could be used and now we're talking about military aspects of the military implications of it and they could be used in a defensive fashion which is easier on an office of man which is way more

problematic from your perspective from a military perspective regarding collateral damage and the like killer robots roaming the battlefield. is the horror scenario that people talk about and that's what's made them so controversial how widely are they in use today you know what countries are using them. depends on exactly what you take a look at but of course the more developed the richer countries use more sophisticated weaponry the united states israel and western countries use far more sophisticated weaponry than other countries and. they differentiate between automated and autonomous systems so automated systems are rather widely used and autonomous autonomous systems are not that much used and this is being talked about in geneva right now what role does international law have to play here international football plays a decisive role in determining that galatea not the usefulness of the ethical implications but international law plays an important role. but how effective can

it be because we're talking about the biggest military powers in the world that are not necessarily on board with banning autonomy's weapons systems but even they have to stick to the rules that already exists and they cover all weapons that are used even highly sophisticated weaponry whether or not there's a specific ban for those autonomous weapon systems remains to be seen if they do not join if those powerful states do not join a possible treaty. the enforcement is weak and it will not help a lot and write an important debate to have robert for us from the european university via adreno thank you so much for joining us in a studio thanks. to lebanon now which is struggling to fix its ailing economy years of regional turmoil including taking in some one and a half million syrian refugees have sent it on a downward spiral the arab nation has the third highest death rate in the world now as a way to bring in money the government is considering legalizing the growing of cannabis

for medical purposes cultivation is currently illegal in lebanon but the industry is thought to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars each year our reporters visited the village of muna in the bekaa valley where cannabis has been openly grown for decades but as they discovered the locals are skeptical of the government's intention. to fields of his family's cannabis from and have been inspected. he helps out here from time to time he's nineteen addy is not his real name he says cultivating cannabis isn't a choice for many of the famous here. they go into this line of business because the state hasn't provided them with jobs. for the young man like me or any other farmer who wants to feed his children or any young man who has dreams wants to build a house get married have start a family or there's nothing else but plan cannabis and live off it for.

his hometown of muna is located in the impoverished baalbeck hemel district. for decades cannabis has been grown here illegally. lebanon is one of the world's top five producers of cannabis resin otherwise known as hashish. alley his arm to myself the cannabis trade has been since the syrian war broke out in two thousand and eleven as lebanese authorities have shifted their attention to other security concerns and he's worried the military might suddenly show up again and destroy the crops something they did for decades. so you and i personally about take up arms if they want to fight my life we heard if they come here with takes to destroy the crops that the people will rise up with their weapons of mass how they work hard after all of the threat of. the lebanese government is now looking to legalize cannabis growth for medical purposes in an effort to boost its cash strapped

economy but not everyone here supports those plans. and i'm against legalization if it means the state will be supervising the process and i don't want farmers to give the crops to the state and in this state to sell it on to manufacturing companies we are probably legalization only if the farmers have a direct relationship with the manufacturing companies. in twenty twelve authorities promised farmers here compensation for destroying their crops but sharif says the money never came. he says up to eighty percent of the people here depend on cannabis cultivation to survive without hearing on book planting cannabis now here is a consequence not a direct action because the state neglected us and our area in general so most of the farmers resorted to cannabis because it was the only thing that guaranteed a return to them in the. farmers also say that cannabis is the only crop that can

withstand the harsh climate of the bekaa valley. in beirut we meet. this progressive socialist party is one of the supporters of legalization. he says the would be a first step towards rebuilding the trust between foam is on the state's power we're trying to create a public institution that would manage the other similar to how the tobacco industry is managed with the lebanon manufactures and cultivates tobacco bases in turkey people a lot of people on the land and has provided them with a decent living. figure mint has not said when the little might come into force that back in time is running out for ali he's due to graduate from school soon and says he might become a full time cannabis fama if he can't find alternatives. time for sports news now and it's been a dramatic start to the u.s.

get rid of the name nafta has a bad connotation because united states was hurt very badly by now that for many years and now it's a really good deal for both countries u.s. 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 trumps that 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. 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 and course will be a negotiated deal. and frankly it terrified cars 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 to that we can help our neighbors that's a good thing that. 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. well for more let's bring in our financial correspondent paul roads and germany's financial capital frankfurt paul still a lot of question marks on that deal what do investors think of the agreement. yes crossover while stocks in the us rally frankfurt more hesitant and cautious the dax slightly ticked up yesterday in late trading in the afternoon when the news came out but this morning is in more or less neutral territory and that's because of a lot a lot of things are still unclear of course donald trump can't just exclude canada from this agreement he would need congressional and congress and located on that

and really looking at the deal there it isn't much more than a nafta two point zero with some adjustments to the automotive industry. to agriculture and some labor union regulations at the core of it is still an agreement that would allow u.s. companies to operate in mexico and canada. to work there without facing tariffs importing back to the u.s. and paul what does this preliminary agreement mean for trade talks between the united states and the european union. the u.s. is also pushing now for a quick deal with the e.u. although quicker means they're looking to finalize something before may of next year when the european parliament parliamentary elections are up. donald trump and german president german chancellor angela merkel were on

a phone call yesterday and both stated they are working towards limiting trade barriers and this is already happening we got news from the german ambassador to the u.s. thing working group has come together for the first time to continue working and that the demands from the u.s. are mostly import of more saudi products and liquefied gas puppets in frankfurt thank you. well yes farmers were receive aid from the government to help them offset losses caused by the ongoing trade dispute washington announced that it is setting aside four point seven billion dollars to compensate the agricultural industry soybean farmers who have been worst hit by retaliatory terrorist will receive more than seventy five percent of that aid groups have welcomed the plan but still are calling for an end to the trade dispute they say the government aid will only keep them going for

italy the government has to pay investors more and more interest to buy italian securities at the beginning of the year it was only two percent but with the populists in charge rome has to now offer investors over three percent if the government keeps its spending promises interest rates would likely keep rising and the cost of servicing italy's debt already high could explode economists have calculated the cost of interest on the debt will rise from the current seventy eight billion euros to almost one hundred ninety billion within five years it is government accuses speculators in the financial markets of wanting to prevent the people's wishes from being implemented it says if interest rates in the markets continue to rise it wants the european central bank to step in and buy up government bonds i said low interest rate but it's far from clear that the e.c.b. would agree to help italy rack up debt. here's
