a lot of other groups put it right wing political groups came from the whole country actually and on the other side we also had like normal citizens drawing protests and demonstrations. in the way getting becoming instrumental nice by these when you can through groups or right wing extremists so what they stand for and what they stand for is side they they want to show of dominance in the city and therefore what what they are claiming is next and what specs so making has to go away and yet they want to. initiate to build you can turn around 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 mention tool against good 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 different 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 sheriff's. races are sent to up to twenty percent of all races or homophobic or social governess. at its you which is kind of huge concept call it would mention it mention find the so it's. human instinct at its 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 it misses the witnesses a transformation process and a movement isn't one of them is that one of the process and people there are let's say fell out alone a long time and that left a number of problems in this transformation process so they feel or they 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 a way that we have a pollio mentary force knowledge did a ton of against poor turn to for trouble and. they are a door open no for this extremist views and attitudes into the middle. to society

so that's a very very very strong development they've normalized it they are represented in the parliament and we thank you so much for joining us to get it into context for us and to explain these trends that are going on in the country david miring as we mentioned you're a researcher focusing on right wing populism and radicalization issues at the berlin institute for integration and migration research. in other news now 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 critics are calling for the new generation of weapon trade 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 it so. 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 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 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 of 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. i've got a quick check now 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 have committed war crimes a report by three experts say is 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 of the international criminal court are calling for the conviction of the former congo warlord basco and not to gun down on charges

close friends for over there you're obviously you're so close to the cain spinoza to be a key player in recent times hands. up 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 coach or i said well let me sleep on it because no i want to know has or yes or no matter. i say yes. and spinoza says he wants to attend every single ceremony in honor of the senator who will first lie in state at the arizona state capital. 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

a public come card is increasingly taken over by the president's rentals divisiveness and isolationism. one man who took a five step divisiveness is joe arpaio he's one of the three candidates running in the republican primary for arizona 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 no controversy a lot of controversy and want to go to washington to help the president. we're before. standard policy. all republican candidates in arizona have embraced trump and to distance themselves from the case his life will be on their it's over the next days but his party seems to have moved away from his ideals.
