to taking sides are taking the new sports shots nike puts an american football player a college topic at the center of its new dot com paint and ignite said controversy . i'm phil gayle welcome to the program it's not about being a left wing or right wing it's about doing that decent thing outside the lead singer of one of germany's best known rock bands ditto hos and described last night's concert against racism in the east german city of chemist's musicians said they wanted to send the signal of the violence that followed last week's anti migrant protests in the city tens of thousands turned out to watch. yes they did veers into their own more of us that was the motto of today's event as liberal germans responded to calls to stand up against far right racism before the
2:02 pm
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 albeit 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 chemists this afternoon including local group cuffed club the driving force behind the concert as the group singer explained at a press conference earlier in the day. it was not a dancing to 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
2:03 pm
touch with everyone else and then all these people here agreed to join in concert with them starts in the lead singer of one of germany's most popular rock groups and explained his motive for taking pot does. business just the existential that we're clear that this is not about a fight between left and right everybody who is in any way decent and it doesn't matter what political beliefs you have should have to pose a radical right wing that attacks people up to the fish but. a few people at the chemist's concept would disagree with that their city has put on a different face today with thousands united in a fun loving show of music and tolerance. japan has been hit by the strongest typhoon to make landfall in twenty five years or thirty years of us a million people in the western and central regions to leave their homes typhoon japie has passed the country's west with a rainfall and violent winds of more than two hundred kilometers an hour leaving
2:04 pm
tens of thousands without power and causing major disruption to rattle and traffic . and the latest from but journalist michael patton who joins us from tokyo welcome michael b. has just made landfall talk us through what's happening. well the typhoon is extremely powerful in fact they're saying that it could be the most powerful typhoon to hit japan in twenty five years. however it's also fast moving it hits the concept of region which is the second largest urban area of japan and it moved quite quickly through it and is now going along the japan of sea coastline the amount of damage that it did in terms of you know ripping off rules and and and smashing a ship into a bridge and cutting off the cons like airport was pretty amends but the good news is that it seems that the human toll is relatively light compared to the ferocity of the storm so far there is only reports of two people having died in
2:05 pm
a almost one hundred wounded but when you think of how strong this storm is that's that's not a very high figure that japan seems of how to go about its face share of natural disasters recently think about to two thousand and eleven the typhoon and of course just a couple of months ago there was another one of these storms is the country well prepared at. all well i think that among the nations of the world there's probably no country that's as well prepared to deal with the massive natural disasters in japan precisely for the region reason you say it's a country which is hit by natural disasters quite regularly major earthquakes volcanoes storms and this summer in particular has been a dramatic one with a heat wave which killed many people giant rainstorm so it's been rough going but japan handles it pretty well michael pad in tokyo thank you you. thank.

areas where coca can be grown illegally. officials in brazil say underfunding is to blame for the five it gutted the country's oldest and most prestigious museum the national museum in rio de janeiro homes that housed twenty million items including the oldest human skull found in the americas the cause of the blaze is not known but the spate builders had no sprinkler system and the fire hydrants closest in the museum were dry. angry scenes the morning after the disastrous fire which ripped through brazil's historic national museum. protesters demanding to inspect the damage for themselves they want to see the museum rebuilt and punishment for those who failed to protect the two hundred year old building and its priceless contents. how can we explain in words what you have lost we are here to say goodbye to the museum and to fight for
2:08 pm
its restoration. our national memories are. here but as i went to sleep thinking it was a nightmare i thought i was going to wake up from it as a musical just as i feel more anger than sadness because it could have been avoided there wasn't even water of course there are guilty people and they have to be punished. devastated staff are devoted their careers to looking after the twenty million pieces in the museum's collection this curator came straight to the museum on hearing about the fire she helped to recover some valuable meacher rights. that i was i was in a rush to get in because i knew where the meteorites where they were brought out of the ashes of a real phoenix. officials admit the museum suffered from years of underfunding and neglect under successive brazilian governments it's
2:09 pm
necessary for all the authorities that have the resources specifically the federal government to help the national museum put its history back together. we've already lost part of our collection brazil cannot lose its history. but as you. wish but. it's feared as much as ninety percent of the museum's collection has been destroyed even if the structure is rebuilt huge numbers of irreplaceable artifacts have been lost forever. now thousands of people in germany are gently in need of a new organs such as hearts or chemist but fewer and fewer germs are willing to donate their organs currently organ donations are only allowed if mission has been given or if they if close relatives decide to allow it but that could change if
2:10 pm
health minister gets his way he's proposed making organ harvesting automatic unless people register not to donate eighteen european countries have these systems in place spain leads with up to one hundred eighty with two thousand one hundred eighty three organ donations last year germany with its much larger population didn't even manage eight hundred donors and turned to seventeen. bob hopes by changing the system organ donations will rise in the country. york philip had a good life with a family and a solid career that's until an infection destroyed his heart when he was in his late forty's in the hospital the tormenting wait for a new organ began in seem to killing one of our more you lie in a hospital bed and suddenly you hear someone rushing down the corridor pushing an emergency resuscitation car then you hear the person's relatives arrive something
2:11 pm
because the person has died you go through all that with the family and the medical staff it's the worst thing your scared also that you could be next that's when you can also end and couldn't. philip had to wait seven months for a new heart that's not uncommon because the number of organ donors in germany is falling with more than ten thousand patients on waiting lists donations have dropped to just eight hundred a year in feeling clean neat and many clinics organ donations and so rarely that the concept of organ donation is quite foreign so when it does happen the staff often don't know the proper procedures and overwhelmed follow ups and it's not that people are unwilling to donate experts say but rather that they fail to give written consent before they die as often leaves grieving relatives facing a momentous choice. even follow those first albums honestly the moment when a loved one dies. relatives are not in a strong position to make clear decisions support its side in full force so easy if
2:12 pm
they know exactly what their family member wanted done this is large but otherwise it can be very difficult to decide on their own discounts really that's why germany's health ministry and spawn wants to change how organ donation works in germany currently people voluntarily opt in to donate but under the new proposal they would have to opt out if they didn't want to. and the. lawmakers declare everyone an organ donor it is an infringement on people's individual liberty but i still think it's necessary for. some call the proposal an ethical. issue i believe it disregards the fundamental concept of donation it's no longer a donation donations of voluntary and this initiative is forced fleet which is against the very nature of organ donation. spenda but for organ recipient york philip the decision is clear especially if the horrible waiting time experience could be shortened substantially and people in this situation would be happy if the
2:13 pm
circumstances were improved in my view that wouldn't be hard to do this philip has been living with someone else's heart for three years he is grateful for every new day it gives him. afghanistan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world more than sixty percent of the population one in three children cannot read or write and i want to afghan woman who set up a library in the capital kabul try to give some children a chance to discover the world of books. this is no ordinary bus it offers hope to children in capital every day it tears the afghan capital as residential neighborhoods for two to three hours children can discover worlds otherwise little known to them and get lost in a good big. books with stories about princes and beggars best.
2:14 pm
dragons to. i read books in two languages here in past two and dari. fresh to careen started the mobile library with the help of donations she studied at oaks for tonight wants to encourage critical thinking among children back home the boss is in a safe space in an otherwise dangerous city. explosions are a problem and that can happen and i think any time but then we are we are trying to park the car inside the communities where it is far better it is much more secure but i think overall the security problem in the country exists and that get exists for any projects so we could not stop our work just because of security of the life beyond security issues that. nine year old shot eagerly waits for the bus to come by each day. hoping that the find joy coming in because there's so many exciting things to eat i like stories about best i don't have any pics at home that she.
2:15 pm

2:19 pm
couldn't picture it but you still loved to seth is a story of a blind surfer who also coaches his favorite waves off spain's basque cope's coast . as i tour frank a center warms up on the shoreline his four senses are tangling being blind is no obstacle to doing what he loves most surfing. the taste touch smell and sounds of the ocean guide he will want the waves of the well known rock surf brick. and if that's not enough frank assent to still runs his own coaching school. stock let ok. everybody. he says it's not possible to teach when you're blind but there are many forms of coaching i'm trying and i'm working with people who have great results it's clear we're doing something right it's one of those into this is startling ok
2:20 pm
it was just i think i'm just a few. frank a son i was born with congenital glaucoma and lost sight in his left eye when he was fourteen despite initial concerns from his parents he took up surfing and flourished he's now a well known and respected surf groom in surats. i grew up in the countryside and at first i wasn't allowed to serve but now it's my life. in two thousand and eleven frank asuna became one hundred percent blind after a surfing accident it didn't stop him getting back on the ocean two years ago he won gold in the visually impaired world championships a friend made up a photo album to remember his exploits and. the fact that beautiful pictures i can see them but everyone says they're beautiful. even if the weather instructing from the shore or chasing the swells himself right
2:21 pm
or frank a son to his show nothing will stop him enjoying his life passion. wishing well i hope for is that here now for a look at an internet giant turning twenty which one no i'll give you a clear if i say you might want to google but fail to go of course is a noun it's a verb and it's a very valuable company and twenty years ago today a pair of ph d. students working out of a garridge in menlo park made it into a legal company google was born in the excitement of the young democratic internet its ambitions were even courageous delivering the world's information to anyone with internet access but the company and its users have changed in the past twenty years. google's business model is simple users search. the internet tell google about themselves allowing google to sell targeted advertising to businesses the firm i.p.o. at eighty five dollars a share in two thousand and four and quickly rose in value. new products like
2:22 pm
google mail and acquisitions like you tube expanded google from a search engine into an online network where users could shop or find news. as the mobile internet and apps began to rise google moved to make up ground to pioneer apple releasing the android operating system and app store. today google employs more than eighty five thousand people worldwide and is worth more than seven hundred billion dollars it has fifteen data centers around the world and that's part of the problem information is increasingly seen as something to protect tech firms are being held to new standards of social responsibility. and insight google pushes for gender diversity and against collaboration with governments like the u.s. or china. so a lot of transformation in only twenty years. and more about this i'm joined in the studio now by d.w. business correspondent steven b.
2:23 pm
it's a good to see stephen i suppose the question is what's changed more in the last twenty years is it google or is it popular opinion on tech firms like. well and i think in one sense google hasn't changed very much over twenty years and that is that it is primarily an advertising program or in fact eighty five percent of its revenues in the past quarter came from advertising but of course it is a massive tech firm with other ventures including artificial intelligence including self driving cars and. of course we google things that's what we do what's interesting is that for their massive earnings seven hundred more than seven hundred billion dollars we heard they employ relatively few people and those tend to be very well educated people in urban areas and so there can be sort of an aloofness or offense oftenest to these massive tech firms you might not see in other areas other industrial firms for example you have the i'm sorry if you add to that you know sort of how we were looking at privacy now how we're looking at data
2:24 pm
and what you see is that taken together those two things have given us sort of a different view of tech firms like google and made it easier for them to be regulated than to be fine for them to be sort of challenged. another point i really want to bring up is the google relationship with china i mean it makes the left in a twenty ten now we're hearing reports that it wants to be free and to the market that what would that mean for china right that's the so-called dragon fly project and that would be a sort of censored version of google the chinese authorities would be able to control the settings control the censorship settings google says that it's not close to bringing a search engine to the chinese market but of course by all accounts it would be difficult the first place to get that approval and to keep the backing but google does have other projects it has been cars driving car project it has artificial intelligence projects in china still has employees there it would be an enormous market for them but it's also
2:25 pm
a big challenge for them because of the human rights issues because of the censorship issues when google left in two thousand and ten it followed reports of chinese hacking into google systems looking for human rights activists are trying to dig. information human rights activists and so you see more of a pushback against that and interestingly a lot of the pushback now comes from within google itself and not just about working with china but also as we heard in the piece about the role of women in the firm and working with other governments like the u.s. and the u.s. military right very briefly google was the first and jim what distinguished it right your member ask jeeves your members and the only ones right these were firms that were out there want to see which google was that was simply better it was a better product that people wanted it was a more advanced algorithm that took a lot of different things into factor and so it outpaced its competitors and then it built on that lead and a lot of regulators would say practice sort of monopolistic behavior after that to advance on that lead requiring that phone makers install android certain.
2:26 pm
chrome browser extensions for example an android app stores things like that that would give them that lead and help to maintain in the mobile market so a bit of product a bit of. sort of help on the other hand absolutely did every business correspondent stephen beard say thank you very much indeed. call way the chinese small thing joined to network build a push in the second quarter to claim the well number two position behind samsung now to conquer the german market by dominating the new foss five g. mobile network but there are concerns over the potential for industrial espionage. chinese telecoms join huawei aims to have five g. capable devices on the market by next year but the next leap in network technology is still in its infancy south china sea shenzhen city has been testing its first batch of five g. by stations delivering download speeds between one and three gigabytes per second. we aim to have small scale networks in some regions by twenty nineteen and
