this is d.w. news live from berlin tonight an attempt to change the tone and turn down the volume over migration in germany. after an anti migrant protest shook the eastern city of camden last week tens of thousands gathered for a concert against racism and neo nazi violence also coming up global condemnation for me and mars attack on freedom of the press today

a judge sentenced to international journalists to prison for their reporting on what the you when calls the ethnic cleansing of the row hinge of minority and hundreds of years of history up in flames a massive fire sweeps through brazil's national museum the president calling it an encounter. but critics say the blaze could have been prevented. i bring goff it's good to have you with us it is a monday very different from just one week ago tonight tens of thousands of people have turned out for an anti-racism concert in the eastern or german city of kemet now this just a week after violent protests that were triggered when two asylum seekers allegedly stabbed a german man to death tonight's concert against racism attracted an estimated fifty

thousand people. yes vias intimate there are more of us that was the motto of today's event as liberal germans responded to calls to stand up against fight racism before the concert got underway there was a minute of silence for the thirty five year old whose fatal stabbing unleashed a week of anti migrant protests. the mood was peaceful olby it with a clear message to the racist moms who shot the country with thousands chanting nazis out. several well known german bands have been playing in cannes nets this afternoon including local group cuffed club the driving force behind the concert as the group's singer explained at a press conference earlier in the day. it was not a dancing didn't start after all this rubbish happened we called friends on tuesday

evening and asked them if they would join us for the concert yeah. within twelve to twenty four hours everyone had said yes yet again that everyone was just getting in touch with everyone else and then all these people here agreed to join the consummate i'm staats and the lead singer of one of germany's most popular rock group student who was in explained his motive for taking pot discovered off business does just sensual that with clear that this is not about a fine between left and right everybody who is in any way decent and it doesn't matter what political beliefs you have should oppose a radical right wing that attacks people up to the fish but. few people at the candidates concept would disagree with that the city has put on a different face today with thousands united in a fun loving show of music and tolerance. live.

and the w.'s linda fear is encampment she joins us now from the concert good evening to you lend it looks like this show has as wrapped up i mean the scene there dramatically different from what we saw in cabinets one week ago do you think that the message on stage today do you think it got through to the people as hoped . yes definitely for the people that went to the concert definitely definitely yes there were fifty thousand people here and the organizers actually talked about more than this they say they talk about seventy thousand people so this is really something nobody expected that here. to the other people i think to the rest of chemist's enough been talking to these people over the last couple of days the message probably is another the message is we are against racism we are against you so you know this two sides of camden still that we experienced here but

tonight this has been very peaceful this has been a strong and very loud statement against racism. and you know if we look right behind where you're now a standing that was the scene of far right violence when we could go talk to me a little bit about the potential for more conflict in kim. very hard to tell of course to predict the future but i think not all can and cannot people were here tonight and of course many have their doubts many have their their fears for security in the cities there and some part of these people what we have seen are right wing extremists and this fear that people have they taking it and putting it into this protest we have seen and some of these protests are very violent so yes the potential is still there and actually through the potent protest here. this protest from the right wing side won't go away either

this is what we've been seeing and the people i've talked to actually said you know we don't see their media calling us nazis and we are not so this is the big problem people here they don't see themselves we are calling them maybe because they have a different view of it and they're not listening. let's say the media they're not listening to the politicians and any more and this is the big problem to democracy i would say and it begs the question you know to have this concert changed anything i mean will be a different place tomorrow morning. i think it gave a great hope to initiatives that have been very active in fighting the right wing extremism for many many years they didn't have much support before now but the attention is on chemists many politicians have looked that way we've actually heard

a couple of different sounds also from the state premier of second city that never been very active in fighting right wing extremism i think many of these politicians have actually understood that there is a problem here and that they have to stand up loud to fight it so yes it has changed but of course a concert in their own won't change the world it's exactly what the musician said here just a little while ago and it's right you can try to change the tone it's hard to change the to our correspondent linda fearing tonight in the eastern german city of kim linda thank you. well staying in germany a court in the southwestern town of tunde has sentenced a failed asylum seeker to eight and a half years for the murder of his former girlfriend last december now critics say the sentence is too lenient while others accuse far right extremists of exploiting the case to promote hate. this small german city of condo was unknown to most

people until last december. that's when a teenage girl was stepped in front of a local drugstore her boyfriend a young immigrant was the suspect what followed was a situation not unlike that encampment migration protesters flocked to the small western german town from all parts of the country back then the poster stated cundall is everywhere the goal was to utilize the tragedy for right wing propaganda . but they were met with resistance the citizens of candle did not want the town to be utilized and with the help of the state government they staged counter protests . kamel is not nazi brown it's colorful and diverse we have an open society and absolutely no reason to instrumentalists this tragedy for right wing thinking. but then the counter protesters were targeted local residents like this family were attacked after exiting. outside their home police had to protect the family as

rightwing hooligans attempted to forcefully enter the house you know i don't miss out on ones are kunder for these people are using our towns. they have reasons for doing this but the real reasons are defrayed when this in. in country they shut us down effectively we have to hide in our houses all day because it's too dangerous to take our children outside in. even after today's verdict their ordeal isn't over for condo right wing protesters have already decided to march again. a court in myanmar has sentenced to international journalist to seven years in prison they were convicted for possession of classified documents the reporters deny the charges they say they were framed by police to stop them from reporting for their on the alleged mass killings over hinge of muslims by the military. was seven years in jail

for breaching million miles official secrets act all as some would say for simply doing their job while lying on his colleagues but found guilty of illegally possessing confidential documents base men have tonight the charge saying that being punished for their posting. is you know the other but yet out of this decision is unfair and one sided it directly threatens our democracy and freedom of the press so. we will continue to fight it. he noted on. the generalists what rested while covering the military's brutal crackdown on for him to muslims which has prompted some seven hundred thousand people to flee to neighboring bangladesh to the international community the case is clear me and must government under increasing pressure over the range of crisis is attempting to silence critical voices these two admirable reporters have already spent more than eight months in prison on false charges designed to silence their reporting and

intimidate the press without any evidence of wrongdoing and in the face of compelling evidence of a police set up. the evidence reuters is referring to earlier this year a policeman testified that his commander had given an order for documents to be. strong condemnation from the start ahead of the verdict journalists and pro-democracy activists took to the streets of young gone to support the report as . they go we do not think that we want the truth that's why journalists who write true news for the people are important. that's why i'm taking part in this rally that. whatever. the u.n. in the end i has called for the release of the journalists and reuters says it will do whatever it can to help secure it. but until then it's back to prison for the journalists. and has already missed the birth of his first child he's never met his still time. and joining me now in the studios christiane meir he is

executive director of reporters without borders here in germany christiane it's good to have you back on the show these journalists they're going to go to prison for seven years of aid is being reported as an attack on press freedom in me and more how much press freedom was there to begin with while there would rate with they've already docked times during the dark times of the military dictatorship the den there began the transition to democracy now i mean this word tick to day is something which really questions a transition to democracy and is in the end it's a disappointment it's i would even go further it's a set back for for press freedom and for the hope the press freedom in myanmar i mean when you look at today's verdict and the fact that the defector leader of the country on songs eugene she's been noticeably silent about this sentence as well as

about what's been happening to the region have we perhaps been expecting too much too fast for me and more in terms of press freedom and more democracy while i mean this couldn't have. being excused first sentencing people to to jail because i mean the whole process the whole process was a travesty of justice that was from the very beginning of was an appalling hyper crissy. starting starting with the arrest every cation of supposed evidence and staging of the transporters of polish custody and so i mean one could not expect too much because democracy you want to have or not and mayhem i want to democracy at the very beginning and to military wanted and i mean that's a big big big disappointment and what can reward years do to help these two journalists because as you say you know the evidence was overwhelming that these two reporters were it is that they were framed and set up but him reuters really go

in and do anything other than provide legal counsel well i think that the starting point if you believe in justice so far as i said the whole trial so far with only a travesty of justice and not really something which make you believe in a functioning to disturb the system and me on my by the void could and should keep up the pressure internationally together with organizations like report of the borders and i mean we want to keep up as well the hope for press freedom and democracy in myanmar but i mean it could be only one solution i mean brave colleagues who did nothing more than dead jobs i mean they have to be released even before an appeal because there's no excuse and to have been people already sentenced for what they reported about and i mean that totally after saying about it and we look at the situation the reporters are in the know and receive

that myanmar is not budging when it comes to condemnation from around the world on claims of attempted genocide so if you're not going to be in the mood. from me and more with genocide why would move fridges to journalists i mean is this a lose lose situation right now for freedom of the press while if i wouldn't believe in hope and if i would not have hope i might not and would give up stop working for regulation like report of the law and i still believe in the release of these people as i still believe and hope that nothing current will be well that it is sorry and on country she had to fall for and see if they take over some responsibility and we try our best to keep up the pressure. as a de facto leader of the country will take this for possibility for these journalists and of course as well for the way. as you say i'm going suchi she could

you know she could solve the entire situation by just speaking out but as you say we've always got hope if nothing else christiane we have with reporters without borders here in germany as always christiane thank you you thank. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a new u.n. report says that the proportion of migrants dying as they cross the mediterranean has risen dramatically this year it says that there is one death for every eighteen arrivals in europe that's roughly double the figure for last year the u.n. refugee agency says that people smugglers are taking ever greater risks five people have been killed and more than a dozen injured after a bus crashed into a viaduct in a story in northern spain four of the injured are in serious condition after the vehicle plowed into a concrete column in split into the drivers reportedly among those badly hurt pope francis has recommended that people sowing division in the catholic church

ministries is set to be slashed by more than half but the president says there is still hope it a way through thought on them and in these few months all the storms were unleashed at the same time in the city but that's no reason to lose hope we must mature as a society and not continue living above our means nor continue living with corruption. but not everyone shares his optimism last week after president announced that he was requesting earlier payouts from the i.m.f. bailout fund the peso continued its downward slide. argentina's problems are mounting fast a dramatic drought has decimated this year's harvest and the country's key export partner brazil is mired in a recession a strong dollar is siphoning off investors in the country's shaky peso compounding the problems. intervention by the country's central bank to shore up the pay so has proved powerless last week that bank the key lending rate to sixty percent and

expensive credit could now dash the hopes for a speedy recovery argentinians are already struggling with a thirty percent inflation rate. the european union is throwing a bone to the united states in hopes of improving the tense climate and trade negotiations european commissioner for agriculture phil hogan called for a higher volume of duty free u.s. beef imports as long as it's hormone free now the u.s. is keen to boost the amount of beef it sells to europe about a longstanding dispute over the use of hormones as complicated negotiations under the new offer the u.s. could increase its volume of beef imports allowed under that use existing imports sealing the measure as a result of a meeting earlier this summer between the president. and us president fun trump. now imagine your alarm clock going off turning on the lights or opening the curtains and brewing your coffee automation to make your morning less stressful for

many of us it might be a vision of the future but at the international consumer electronics fair currently underway here in berlin the smart home has already arrived. even the cook can chill out and it's kitchen camera checks what's in the fridge and projects recipe suggestions on to the countertop like how to make the perfect roast the stove opens automatically taking things from their. table keeps the chocolate brownies warm and gooey till it's time for dessert it's a kitchen that takes color mary worries away and even loads the dishwasher in the future nearly everything will be connected to the internet through voice control the door the t.v. the lights and the oven. so there are no. experts believe it won't be long before four out of five household devices are online. small simple machines are starting to take on more work they even think

ahead and they have us to spend our time doing more pleasant activities and get even if these all around us gradually become cheaper with stevie paying a high price but on the one hand they make us dependent on the take shines like amazon microsoft and google that provide the networks that operate them and on the other hand all the technology it says and its ability to operate safely. but away from the flashy demonstrations this company is warning about the dark side of online everything with an experiment can a hacker steal cryptocurrency through this internet connected lamp. the answer is yes the hard drive has hijacked the voice assistant and all the network devices under the hackers control giving consumers something new to worry about. today i don't see much of

a reason economic reasons for companies to invest in security that is the device vendors because they basically get away with vulnerable devices they have been kind of able to throw vulnerable devices to the market for many many years with no real problems and so i think something has to change in this regard we need better regulation it's a call for the government to step in to ensure that vacuum robots don't go rogue and show hackers the way to your hard drive just. expected right now in a dramatic blaze in rio de janeiro it's like used off a huge fire has ripped through brazil's national museum in rio de janeiro gutting the two hundred year old building that housed a collection of twenty million. we're talking about a gyptian greco-roman artifacts and the oldest human skull found in the western hemisphere the museum's director is calling it a cultural tragedy. history turned to ash.

there's been angry protests outside the museum and some say many years of budget cuts are to blame rio as a city is in crisis government cutbacks rising violence and fewer tourists and this country's history up in flames feels to many positions like a bad omen. are done to the world of surfing big waves sandy beaches blue skies and sun it's easy to fix your right imagine if you were unable to picture that if you were blown well this is the story of a blind surfer and surfing coach who more than makes do with his other senses on his favorite waves off spain's basque country take a. that's a tall frank ascent to warms up on the shoreline his four senses are tingling. being blind is no obstacle to doing what he loves most.
