i brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show in the german city of qom the police are investigating a number of people after a night that saw several thousand taking to the streets and anti immigration protests they were met by about a thousand counter-demonstrators the two sides kept apart by hundreds of riot police these protests were sparked by the killing of a german man over the weekend that was linked to migrants. clients are up today again on the streets of chemists on monday as far right demonstrators faced off with counter protesters. a call by a right wing group attracted as many as two thousand far right protesters and around one thousand counter-demonstrators leaving the police scrambling to keep the two sides apart the protests on monday and sunday were sparked by the death early sunday morning of a thirty five year old man allegedly at the hands of two migrants from iraq in

syria they have been arrested and are in police custody. authorities have given very little information on the altar cation that led to the stabbing. but that doesn't stop the far right demonstrators from demanding retribution. auslander all those foreigners get out of our city they chant social media posts include videos depicting what amounts to vigilante attacks on migrants. amongst the demonstrators on monday citizens of chemists who declare they have nothing to do with neo nazis but is simply there to express their anger of the situation in their city. every evening this trouble encounters between groups i don't want to say it's only the foreigners there's plenty of troublemakers. if you want to do well you can't go into the city without

being scared of what might happen. i wouldn't call myself part of the mob and i don't want anybody calling me that just because i'm standing here. what happened in chemist's is being closely followed on a national level police and politicians are warning against vigilante justice after two days of violence and commits the city remains on edge. and out. with a camera team. joining us now from there what's chemist like the day after. calm has returned to the streets kenneth's the now but there is still an undercurrent of tension this really is a city divided that manifested itself last night and the day the four on the streets with rival groups of far right protesters and counter-demonstrators facing off on the street behind me now the killing of the thirty five year old german man

over the weekend allegedly by two men one iraqi national one syrian national has really pushed them very. prevalent underlying issues here in this. into the for these attentions which ons going to go away this simmering and have reached boiling point over the last couple of days meanwhile and more is being learned about exactly what has taken place over the last two days in terms of some of the violence it's been reported police have said that stones were thrown from both sides they've also said. and in the last couple of hours they've reported that they are opening criminal proceedings against a number of people accused of having performed the nazi salute here yesterday evening which of course is to begin here in germany that's not all that the police are saying right now the head of the german police union is warning today about a rise of vigilantism in germany not just in the area where you are what's your

impression has just come to that income of. that's right police have warned citizens here in cannes it's against taking justice into the area and hands out a warning this also comes from the german government it's directly criticize reports that people where on the streets of kenya it's in what they call malta during the hunting down seeking out people who look like they've had a migrant backgrounds that feature the anti that isn't is something that has been reported widely on social media is a city that is deeply concerned many people about the influx of migrants to this region having said that there are also a huge number of people who want to say that they are this is a city that is still a welcome for refugees for migrants that manifested itself last night in the hundreds of counter demonstrators who took to the street to commit ok for what lies ahead for this city what lies ahead for come next is it likely that these types of

clashes will continue. that work who's yesterday evening brian for more protests to take place as something out there is going to keep a very close eye on because one thing that we have seen over the long. couple of days is just how quickly huge numbers of people from basic science can assemble the process and just how quickly things can escalate police have admitted in various reports to being surprised by the numbers of people who took to the streets and there's reports that they were overwhelmed as well by those numbers so the story will have to keep an extremely close eye on what happens next day for the coming days ok and we'll definitely be doing that and show shows and co will be keeping an eye on developments for us thanks so much for now. now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour japan has warned that north korea still poses a threat to its national security that despite a pledge to denuclearize to pass defense minister said north korea still has several hundred missiles capable of reaching japan even after the summit between

kim jong un and president from. the un human rights council says all sides in the yemen top flight may have committed war crimes a report by experts says that children have been the most vulnerable people in this conflict saudi arabia supporting yemeni government against the rebels are backed by iran. france's popular environment minister nicholas low has resigned live on radio without president mccrone beforehand mccrone pick too low as an icon of the green movement but he repeatedly clashed with his cabinet colleagues he felt they were too weak on veyron mental issues. or government experts 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 any human guidance critics are calling for this new generation of weaponry to be banned globally before it goes into mass production. germany's armed forces already make

use of semi autonomous weapons this air defense system 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. their 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 mash 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. that's good fairly what's dangerous about artificial intelligence and robotics is that they're altogether removed from human decision making about good and evil 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. so are we then looking at mass casualty events with no human responsibility thomas cushion meister joins us now is from the campaign to stop the robots and observing the debates in geneva thanks for being worse thomas have killer robots already been rolled out on battlefields and what kind of threat level are we facing right now. so right now we have

a lot of systems which could work under certain circumstances certain circumstances on different levels of autonomy we already have existing systems which are able to. look for sure. targets and to destroy targets without humor in. this decision line without human control so we already have them are they out on the battlefield as far as you know right now unbeknownst to us not yet there are some reports on testing in syria but as far as we know along the border but in korea there are some systems already in service but as far as i understand this is about testing and unfortunately we could say that these killing machines are not on the ground on the ground now

and want to prevent what were your group want to stop that with an international ban on these weapons but weapon producers like the u.s. china russia they're not signing any band can you change their minds. hopefully we can but we need more support from countries where there is i think. concert consensus. and there must be a minit what human control over the use of ports. and over the critical functions of weapon but currently there are only twenty six countries for a ban but most countries and that does get want to negotiate on a new legal instrument ok that's all going well but is it even possible to ban this technology experts are warning that consumer products every day products can be used for a man attacks that non-state actors can use cheap ai technology for the kind of drones my eight year old place with. so so we're not against technology.

on a local level you know so impatient so what we want is not these technology must be controlled when it comes to use was weapons and this is support for us and i think of course there's a countries which are very interested and these weapons use them want to keep them and we are not every day but i think. maybe it's possible to have a process outside the us when we fail here in geneva you know ok thomas thank you so very much for filling us in on the very overlooked issue thomas pynchon meyer for us from the campaign to stop killer drums thanks a lot. washington has told united nations judges that they have no jurisdiction over u.s. sanctions against iran this comes a day after hearings began at the international court of justice where rainy and lawyers demanded that the u.n. lift the u.s. sanctions a u.s.
