after. start september second on g.w. . this is c w news live from burlington tensions over a migration turned violent to the german city of camden several people are injured after a second day of protest the german chancellor angela merkel condemns the unrest and warns that the government will not tolerate mob violence against foreigners. also coming up a killer robots the future of warfare experts from around the world are meeting in

switzerland to discuss how to deal with weapons back in the fight wars and kill it all on their own and as america mourns the passing of john mccain a war hero and politician known for reaching across the aisle in a contentious senate battle in arizona means that his home state may soon be represented by a very different type of politician. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the german government says that it is ready to send federal police to back up law enforcement officers of the eastern city of chemists that's after two days of violent end to immigration protests and counter protest the rest was triggered by the fatal stabbing of a german man over the weekend in an apparent altercation with migrants opposition parties have criticised the police for failing to prevent further violence on

monday now the german chancellor angela merkel has sharply condemned these events have a list. busted enough because in what we saw there has no place in a country where the rule of law prevails we have video footage of people being hunted down and of gangs of rioters the trade on the streets i cannot stress enough that this is incompatible with the rule of law is going to fuel the kist again of the german chancellor speaking a short while ago and i'm joined now by david miring he is a researcher focusing on right wing populism and radicalization issues at the berlin institute for empirical integration and migration research and we thank you so much for joining us this evening to talk a little bit more about this because you know we know that a number of groups were involved in organizing and taking part in the right wing protests like the ones that we saw yesterday tell us a little bit more about them who are they what they stand for so yeah so we have there are some local holy gun groups organize the whole demonstration.

stay also organized a lot of other groups put it right wing political groups from the whole country actually and on the other side you also have like normal citizens joining the protests and demonstrations. in the way getting becoming instrumentalist by just one even through groups or right wing extremists so what they stand for and what they stand for is side they they want to show a dumb in the minds in the city and. what what what they are claiming is next and with specks of making has to go away and yet they want to. initiate to build you can turn turn around because we've seen the rise of the far right in the country and just like you to put that perhaps into context for us these groups that we're talking about specifically you mentioned tool again going ism you mentioned a number of well organized far right groups but just generally speaking how deep is

the sympathy for these sorts of causes going in the country right now. yes so it's quite widespread we know from the for a long trial studies as a logic of studies that we have a huge i'm not a huge amount but let's say amount of twenty percent of the population that shares . risk races are sent to up to twenty percent of all right or homophobic or social governess. attitudes which is kind of huge concept call it it's old mention it mention find so it's anti humanistic at it's you towards groups and you know that this percentage is pretty high and constant over the last forty years it's very high for example also in the east of the country or the former east of the country tell us a little bit more about that is so in the former east the we can see that for the

last forty years they have witnesses with miss witnesses a transformation process and the movement isn't wanted in that modernisation process and people there are let's say felt alone a long time and. left a number of problems in this transformation process so what i feel or they are are economically depressed area that. they suffer from a brain drain and from a brain of young educated people living there they want to see is that they are left behind and it's just briefly before we go do you think that we're going to see these protests grow. another thing that's possible because. it's spreading in a way that we have a policy on mentary of force knowledge of the media turned off against poor turn to for trouble and. they are

a door open no for this extremist views and attitudes into the middle of a. to society so that's very very some development they've normalized that they are represented in the parliament and we thank you so much for joining us to put it into context for us and to explain these trends that are going on in the country david miring as we mentioned your research are focusing on right wing populism and radicalization issues at the berlin institute for integration and migration research. well now let's get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world the united nations human rights council says that all sides in the yemen conflict may have committed war crimes a report by three experts says that children have been the most vulnerable people in the conflict saudi arabia is supporting the yemeni government against rebels who are backed by iran. prosecutors at the international criminal court are calling for the conviction of the former congo warlord basco not to gonda on charges including

murder rape conscription being child soldiers and sexual slavery he faces eighteen counts for his role in the deadly conflict in the democratic republic of congo fifteen years ago he denies the charges and thousands of fans are expected to line up in detroit over the next two days to pay their last respects to the sole legend of the franklin a singer whose body is lying in state ahead of a private funeral on friday the seventy six year old died earlier this month from pancreatic cancer. government experts from around the world are meeting in geneva to discuss the future of killer robots these autonomous weapon systems can operate and kill without human guidance now critics are calling for the new generation of weapon tree to be banned globally before it goes into mass production. 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. the highly controversial supporters say that 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 shouldn't 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. 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. let's get more now on this controversial topic is an associate fellow at the german council on foreign relations if this is on military technology and innovation thank you so much for joining us my pleasure so we're talking about fully autonomous weapons here and they don't exist yet right we're talking about. that right is

a premature no so we don't have fully autonomous weapon systems five yet but and that's a huge because we've seen in the two underlying basic technologies for robotics and out of fission intelligence forseen technological leaps over the past years which underneath was seen so for example just seven eight years ago needing experts would say it would take at least another decade for a nod to be to good human player in the game of go and then two or three years afterwards it happened so it's really difficult to see the technological development of those two underlying key technologies which if they convert such an autonomous weapon systems so it's difficult to first see it but i'm going to put you on the spot right out and if you did have a crystal ball i mean where would you say we are on that timeline i mean how far out are we from seeing not only fully autonomous weapons or perhaps just killer robots generally speaking that are human controlled being used regularly on the

battlefields so i mean there are obviously robots robots and remotely controlled systems use bomb falls or on the road so the most visible example might be drones for example in the american republic roans they are robots controlled remotely controlled by humans which just station thousands of miles away on another continent which are living through a satellite communication i mean i think of thomas weapons would be possible to today and they are on development and the question is what military missions we use them so if you think about an israeli product a drone which can in the autonomous mode detect radio stations based on the signal it's they are sending out and then can effectively engage these radio stations that is sort of an autonomous mode and it's already existing so but if we see so soldiers on the street robots so just. on the street that it's impossible to guess

when that was happening so perhaps we're not that far off though based on your assessment i think i'm hearing obviously quite a lot of fears when it comes to this topic about the use of robots in this way how much do you share those fears you do we think do you think we have to be concerned here or are there also benefits that are you know we're not perhaps seeing right now in the face of it i think these scientific community has really put a lot of fault into that and there are two opposing camps which focus on the negative perspective on the potential advantages which word should be that such misuse machines wouldn't really have human emotions which is i mean and then volunteered because they might want to have fear they might get angry off their comrades died in combat but obviously there's advantages because they wouldn't feel any emotion any empathy for other humans just really quickly before you go i want

to ask about the diplomacy of all of this because obviously at this conference going on right now it's under the auspices of the united nations we know the u.s. china russia that they don't really seem to be warming up to a potential ban here what does that tell you about it tells me that it's really going to be difficult to reach a bend on that is because i think each of these powers great policies the military potential of these technologies and thus they don't really like have been as simple as that i mean it's associate fellow at the german council on foreign relations as you mentioned you focus on military technology and innovation and we thank you so much for joining us this evening to share your expending of having. thank you for now in death u.s. senator john mccain has united democrats and republicans who have been eulogizing him as a statesman and a politician mccain represented the state of arizona in the senate for thirty one years the republican was known for his fierce independence and for reaching across

the aisle but with the vietnam war hero gone arizona may soon be represented by a very different type of politician. a veteran stands watch at a local more cherry in phoenix where john mccain's body is being held before the public viewing on wednesday many arizona and have already visited this makeshift memorial to pay tribute to the late senator one of the things that i admired the most going about him was his drive that people leave something and it wasn't being done even though he got mad about it. he stood his ground. stress because he was easy to get along with says tommy espinosa the latino advocate and the senator were close friends for over there are so close to the cain spinoza to be a key player in recent games. john i said you know i'm

a democrat so i'm not sure it's going to get you any votes you know and he said i don't care you're my friend i want you to be my co-chair i said well let me sleep on it because no i wanted to has sir yes or no that. yes. espinosa says he wants to attend every single ceremony in honor of the senator who will first lie in state at the arizona state capitol. arizona is honoring one of its most influential politicians on the national stage john mccain was one of the last republicans standing up to president trump he believed in bipartisanship at home and strong alliances overseas but it seems that the worth of mccain's death his brand of conservatism is losing out that republican party is increasingly taken over by the president's rant of divisiveness and isolationism. one man who typifies

that divisiveness is joe arpaio he is one of the three candidates running in the republican primary for arizona a second senate seat which will be up for grabs in the november midterm elections the former sheriff supports trump one hundred percent a lot of people. maybe would never run for office or a now controversial a lot of controversy want to go to washington to help the president. we're before. standard politics as usual. all republican candidates in arizona have embraced trump and distanced themselves from mccain his life will be on the road over the next days but his party seems to have moved away from his ideals. you're watching news still to come on the program could cannabis cultivation be the answer for levanon struggling economy the government wants to legalize the country's flourishing production but the move as

you might imagine is controversial. but first we are heading over to michael johns we're talking business we're starting with nafta and we have to talk about canada exactly because mexico settled now or at least that's what we're told that's what we're told the u.s. hopes to find common ground on trade with canada now after reaching a preliminary agreement with mexico still u.s. president on a trump suggested yesterday he could leave also walk out of a final deal to overhaul the north american free trade agreement if the two sides failed to reach a compromise he's pressing canada to accept new terms for the way cars important text kind of us nafta negotiator for a minister christian freeland is in washington today to discuss changes to the trade treaty after cutting short a trip to europe. well it's clearly it's a very busy u.s. president there especially when it comes to trade where does that leave the u.s.

economy that's something i would like to ask you frank. for the tab the president of the american chamber of commerce here in germany as we know it. is it i mean he's all about america. overhauling trade deals with with china with the e.u. nafta of course does america benefit from it well you pointed out a president is very focused on trade is really the centerpiece of most of what he's trying to accomplish he has some views on trade that are not necessarily shared by mainstream economists and. many other sectors of the business world however. certainly we welcome his initiatives to go and look at things that are thirty years old like nafta is and say let's modernize it's a make sense for today's world one that treaty was signed back and i believe nineteen ninety four or whatever there was no internet to many of the things that

we take for granted today don't exist so from their point of view the american chamber welcomes any efforts that will strengthen trade between countries at the same time we firmly believe that no country nowadays can be strong on its own strength comes from him in alliances and free trade among countries that will benefit it's like that they are the only consistency there seems to be with the trump administration is that it is somewhat inconsistent which can throw traditional partners like the e.u. like germany's somewhat off guard and we do have trade dispute between the u.s. and the e.u. . how is that affecting the economy in america does it go stronger or do you see first signs of perhaps an impact that could be negative well you certainly have to depend on the sector right obviously farmers are suffering immensely and i believe i read this morning that there's going to be a farm aid package of over seven billion dollars given to them to help them for the

losses they're suffering suffering due to the trade dispute with china. you have at the same time and you have the enormous uplift of the tax reform so you have a lot of money that's come into the economy that's certainly positive i do believe though that if we continue down the path we're on we will see difficulties in many different industries and those will lead to problems economic problems that will dampen growth because i believe i mean i'm to conducted a survey among specials a german business and i think they're not so keen on investing in the us anymore that's a big piece of it as anyone who's in business knows that one of the key things you want is. plan ability you want to be able to say if i'm going to build my plant here i'm going to run it for the next twenty years without major changes to my business model that's suffering right now and i was at the bunch after a conference this morning here in berlin and in preparation for that we did

a survey of our members last week in it shows very clearly our members want to love america it's the most important market for them but the german in the american members are very firm in that however they're very concerned about what's going on and a certain percentage of them have said we're holding back on investments in the u.s. until we get a little more clarity on what's happening that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy right people hold back that will lead to less construction jobs less other services be needed and that is very dangerous and so so the impact of the current policies trade policies conducted by the u.s. could be late frank spitta larry their president here in germany thank you so much for your time it's a pleasure. well with rex it's on the horizon britain is on the hunt for new markets outside of the e.u. including those in africa prime minister the reason may is on her first official visits to the continent in capetown in between some let's wait for this nickel

moves let's say may said she wanted to britain to become the g. seven biggest investor in africa overtaking the u.s. a pledge around for enough billion euros by twenty twenty two may also said britain which work with african nations to tackle insecurity of migration by creating jobs from south africa the prime minister will head to nigeria and to kenya. and germany's foreign minister has proposed an alternative international money transfer system to help circumvent u.s. sanctions against companies doing business with iran he believes the u.s. controlled swift banking system could pose problems for companies trading with iran against u.s. wishes at present a majority of global money transfers between bank institutions use the swift system after nine eleven the u.s. gained access to this with data base and can monitor all those transactions in the

past weeks many large german companies like dima and i the stock to doing business in iran or have drastically reduced it last year the total trade between germany and iran was with three point four billion euros. all right leaving business behind and though it's some sort of economic story in lebanon right now isn't it absolutely monica an interesting one indeed we talked about it a little bit earlier lebanon is struggling to right its faltering economy in years of regional turmoil including taking in some one and a half million syrian refugees have sent the arab nation on a downward spiral it has the third highest death rate in the world now it has a way to bring in money check this out the government is considering legalizing cannabis cultivation for medical purposes it's currently illegal in lebanon but the industry is thought to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars each year and d w's

reporter visited the village of yama youth in. valley where cannabis has been openly grown for decades but as she discovered people there are skeptical of the government's intentions. alley very most of fields of his family's cannabis farm in have been inspected valley he helps out here from time to time he's nineteen. alley is not his real name. he says cultivating cannabis isn't a choice for many of the farmers here they go into this line of business because the state hasn't provided them with jobs. to young men like me or any older farmer who wants to feed his children or any young man who was dreamers wants to build a house get married have start a family or there's nothing else to do but plant cannabis and live off it.

from. 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. ali his arm to self the cannabis trade has been to 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. and i personally about take up arms if they want to fight my livelihood if they come here with tanks to destroy the crops that the people will rise up with their weapons that's how they work hard after i had to travel. 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. i'm against legalization if it means the state

will be supervising the process and i don't want farmers to give their crops to the state and then the 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 two thousand and 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. a change of pace now we're going to have to some tennis news and it was a bittersweet match first spain's david for a rare at the u.s. open he was forced to quit because of injury for the first time in tooth hundred eight matches and that at his last ground slam tournament before retirement his opponent was his davis cup teammate and friend who we saw a little bit earlier there rafael nidal for rare was once ranked third in the world

but has slipped since he will play only in selected tournament's from now on mean time in the world of football german football star bastian schweinsteiger made his name. here in germany before going on to play in the united states and this week he's back in germany for a tribute in munich in a friendly tonight against his former club byron munich. and the fans they certainly like his returns find steiger and his new club the chicago fire have come for a testimonial match in his honor the thirty four year old former captain of the german national team was with byron for seventeen years on sunday he was awarded the bavarian order of merit with the state premier calling china. a living legend. and with that you are up to date now on news i'm sarah kelly enviro land don't
