10:04 pm
really happy to see him go down and why do you think that is k.j. it's his sentencing and the fact that he is being sent to prison do you think that that's going to have any significant impact on other celebrities there in hollywood what you have to wait to see because so far only hype harvey weinstein has been charge of course they're investigating him for other crimes but a lot of the men who have been accused of many sexual harassment sexual assault allegations have yet to be charge i mean just recently a d.a. decided not to press charges against actor at the inner city and even kevin spacey and even steven seagal so there are many many men in this needs who movement have been accused very few have actually been art and even fewer convicted like bill cosby journalist katie matthews on the story for us tonight in los angeles kitty thank you very much. you. well here in germany to head of the catholic
10:05 pm
church has apologized for its failure to deal with sexual abuse over decades and for the pain that was calls cardinal reinhard marx spoke after the publication of a report that details thousands of cases of abuse the victims were mostly men or mostly children and critics of the report as well as the authors of the report say that the true scale of the abuse is probably far greater than the cases identified. sexual abuse in the catholic church is a deeply rooted problem in germany that's the scathing conclusion of a study that academics worked on for four years the chairman of the german bishops conference now says he wants to deal with the consequences. is sexual abuse is a crime it has to be punished for far too long when the church have looked away ah shit out denied it we didn't want to accept it. for all these failures and for all
10:06 pm
this pain i must as chairman of the bishops conference apologize and also i mean this quite personally was. the authors of the study believe that structures in the catholic church that even facilitate the crime of sexual abuse continue to exist. the study says that over the past seven decades priests have abused more than three and a half thousand minors in germany the victims were mostly male and mostly children well over one and a half thousand priests are accused of committing those crimes. the real number is higher because of the number of on reported cases the factual number is probably much higher than. the pope believes that the scandal will scare off young catholics from the church. the young face for la grange about sexual
10:07 pm
and financial scandals in the church. which we haven't condemned enough. the authors of the study say the causes of sexual abuse in the church are far more complex. is complex it's the complex interaction of sexual immaturity and of homosexual tendencies that were repressed even denied taking place in an ambivalent and partly homophobic environment could be a further explanation for the majority of cases being male victims at the hands of catholic clergy if you can manage to put the whole thing of i'm sixty. cardinal marks explained that the church wants to rebuild trust that may well be a tall order. well here in berlin it is a shock to the government more importantly it is a nother blow to the political power of chancellor angela merkel lawmakers from her conservative bloc today defeated her choice for parliamentary leader instead they elected a critic of the governing coalition
10:08 pm
a coalition that led by miracle ralph brink else defeated longtime merkel ally for her caliber today in a vote one twenty five to one twelfth calendar had held that pose for thirteen years and he had never faced a challenger now ahead of the vote most of the observers close to the chancellor say that they expected that calendar would be reelected. well u.s. president donald trump has delivered a blistering attack on globalism in his second speech to the u.n. general assembly he says that all countries should act in their own interests and he says that the u.s. will never recognize the international criminal court trump lashed out at iran the kucing its leaders of so we made him in the middle east and of enriching themselves at the people's expense he also said that iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb and he called on the international community to isolate the regime
10:09 pm
in tehran. with me here at the big table is nicole verjee is an associate fellow with the german council on foreign relations she watched president trump's speech closely fores it's good to see you again nicole so we've got the u.s. president here nothing but strong criticism for iran and its leadership iranian president hassan rouhani has fired back and we've got here is a war of words were is this an escalation that nobody can step back from when the policy off. has been quiet quite the same i mean he ones to see the iranian government change its policies and they want the iranian government to stop the program they're not happy with the with india he called it horrible again so i think he will not stop his policies on really trying to bring this vision down he didn't say region change but this is
10:10 pm
actually something he's targeting i mean he wants a change in policy he wants to impose sanctions and my suspicion is that even though if the european stick to the deal it would be very hard to european companies to really you know with. tools operate there and absolutely and to to to stop their business with the united states is not an option it's not an option in his speech today dropped he was urging other nations to follow the u.s. lead on iran a short while ago difference president mr he made clear his position towards the iran nuclear deal take a listen. gifty permit how the regularly read what has helped bring a real solution to the situation in iran and what is already stabilized there a lot of the strongest pressure from only one side no we know that iran was on a nuclear military path but what stopped it the two thousand and fifteen vienna
10:11 pm
record. so we there you have the european union iran are sticking with the iran deal but this is a delicate balancing act isn't it is because i think they both one of the same goal they want that you run your government to stop the nuclear program the thing is they want to achieve this goal with different instruments and the french president said pressure alone is not enough we have to do something we have to do to get the iranian government to be more transparent to follow the rewards and we can reach this by money talking their actions and the iran deal was a way to do so even though the europeans know that the cream and has a lot of flaws and right now with the with the idea of coming up with a new financial institution which would still provide for some possibility to do business with iran as well european union is putting together a story today. where do they see
10:12 pm
a way of offering iran basically tools to work to support they at what they want to reach and what about president trump in all of this do you think he would ever sit down with the bringing president rouhani and in talking try to make a deal this is the interesting point even though they both exchange pretty harshly couric and. president trump has a national security advisor. mr ball who for years wants to bring down the iranian government and has an impact on what the president now says i think is a very small chance that the president would not say no to a negotiation or to a meeting and vice versa of course is that you know that would mean that there would have to be some type of a decision coming from tehran as well which doesn't seem likely in the foreseeable future because rendered with the german council on foreign relations because always
10:13 pm
we appreciate your insights thank you. well he may not be a world leader but if there is one man who has had a front row seat in global affairs it is my next guest that europe's most widely read and most powerful newspaper for almost fifteen years i'm talking about germany's build. and while he was editor in chief he became a major force in shaping public opinion in both world and german politics. kai decommission is among the most influential figures in german language media and he served for nearly fifteen years as chief editor of the popular tabloid billed title before becoming publisher of the group. perhaps the most famous headline of his tenure was we are the pope the phrase took on a life of its own when german cardinal you know was named pope benedict in two thousand and five. dyckman has enjoyed close ties to politicians he interviewed donald trump just before his inauguration.
10:14 pm
and he interviewed russian president vladimir putin the year before that. but the. latest adventure is a start at the agency called story machine but it's his years a bid that made him a dominant force in german politics and society. and joining me here at the big table is the man himself. it's good to have you thank you for having me damn you have had a front row. particularly when we're talking about these big figures in politics such as donald trump let's take a look at what you did the day he was there he was elected this was the headline in your newspaper not just translate it basically said we'll be able to deal with him as well. what headline would you give trump today following the speech that he gave
10:15 pm
it the united nations a couple of headlines i mean of course it was obvious and it was something you had to see and the assembly the assembly laughed at the u.s. president which was really something that is a left the first time they've laughed at us and it's you know not just any guy sitting or their. prime minister right it's presidents so that's something you on the other side it's been a trump again so another headline could be trump a it's trump you as a safe rich strong guy just because of me this is a very good point about politics right here in germany there is no doubt that the coalition government here is fragile there's even less about the erosion of uncle americal political influence and her power what headline does miracle deserve today considering that her parliamentary leader was told to take a hike. of course this was a defeat. she declared herself you know she was fighting for him but opponent of
10:16 pm
the of it was fighting for him as well so what do you have to have to see it was in no it wasn't an open vote it was a secret wote and there's a lot of frustration inside the city you know that in that last election that mean they tried to get that coalition with the liberal and the greens they fade they had to go in the grand coalition again they lost a lot of job through the social democrats there's always been this fight between. the whole four so this was a point where they could show their frustration to the chancellor without taking any risk secret on the other day on the other side is of course one of the most important drops and therefore i think the headline like. dusk justified you know this frustration and this just into a lot of it has to do with the weight of the refugee crisis that hit germany back
10:17 pm
in two thousand and fifteen and i want to take a look at the headline that your paper billed had you know three summers ago this one says help the refugees and you know you were also very instrumental in getting the newspaper to be a key player in the hash tag refugees welcome me i mean those are headlines that you would never see in the newspaper you would see the build to date were you reflecting public sentiment at the time or were you telling people to listen to their better angels honestly i don't think it's the drop of a even a newspaper always to reflect the sentiments of the people of the audience we have to tell things we have can win even if probably people would not like to hear it in that situation it was the total correct thing to do so you know there were people in saudi. of them really endangered they were endangered by deaths they were
10:18 pm
endangered by torture they were endangered by wall to open. the borders for these people in order to have the right thing to do in that situation but you did have the power there to tell you we're telling people what they should be thinking no no honestly there was a rumor that day actually when refugees arrive for example in munich they would celebrate that you know but. probably sometimes the germans kind of tend to be hysterical sometimes so you know remain they were kind of throwing any bits at them they were arriving at the train station now days the situation is different and we tend to be hysterical as well when nowadays you sometimes listen to that discussion political discussion you've got the impression there are thousands of thousands of refugees coming still every day in the country and that's not true let me ask you this let me take you right after the christmas market attack here in berlin two thousand and sixteen let's take
10:19 pm
a look here is build and with the simple word fear. when you talk about people exaggerating you know the threat of refugees how can it help in a headline like that. helped to reduce exaggerations in society don't you see the headlines like that do the opposite. honestly this is something that was the feelings at that day and you have to take it serious as well so one of the reasons why people. do not trust many mainstream media outlets now is because they've got the impression that you know they've been reporting many things did not report in order to be kind of politically correct and that was a mistake and you know we were always fighting this we were always well we being politically correct when we were editor in chief we were we were not politically correct for. just in order to be politically correct you know we would have caught on on criminal justice statistics and report the number of foreigners being and was
10:20 pm
and we were always criticised of being you know anti-foreign we've never been and we've been criticised for revenue the way come come paine and we've been pretty from the right and we've been criticised for a law reporting about foreignness and what and what is not working was integration over you know from the left so that this is the right position for it for a media for media brandy to write between the two do you think trying to do you think though that with a job that has this type of impact on society and this type of reach do you feel like you are doing a service to society by putting head lines like that this was a terror attack in the heart of germany a terror attack in the hot of the capital and this is what people forget because suddenly we were reached by terror we wanted used to terror on terror was something that was happening somewhere else in the us in france in the u.k. but never over here but you know this was how of a shock to the german society so why do you how do you explain then the reactions
10:21 pm
that we get for example i've been telling people today that you know i'm going to be interviewing the former head of their chief of build a newspaper and it's either they say while or. they say i hate the guy i mean you polarize people and it has to do with what you used to do honestly if you want to be the most popular editor in chief the most popular in germany the wrong decision you can take is to become in chief of bit too polarized and too emotional . to be outspoken is everything the brand is about. this is what we want to do we we do clear talk we are clear in what we say and this does not make you popular you know. but that's right thing to do and you know the brand is one thing never it's not boring and you know people have an opinion about it and that is the most important thing and of course the editor in chief of such
10:22 pm
a brand that's polarized and you know well you know i don't mean it is true you are the lightning rod and we appreciate you coming into the studio tonight and sharing your story with thank you thank you very much. are the shift gears now christoph is here in the fresh test for facebook that is trying to quell mounting turmoil still brant and this adds to the long list of issues that the world's biggest social network has to deal with the co-founders of instagram a service facebook acquired six years ago are quitting kevin systrom and my krieger will step down from their positions as c.e.o. and chief technical officer of the photo sharing app in a statement they said they were quote ready for their next chapter as they transition from leader to two users in a billion parent company facebook acquired instagram in a deal that reportedly allowed it to continue to be run independently but insiders say the co-founders felt they were not being given enough autonomy.
10:23 pm
now for more let's cross over to the ns court in new york what more can you tell us on the story. you know there are reports out that facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg make chili did put some top managers aside the two co-founders of instagram and that they might have been not happy about this they also had been some name changes so that also might have heard the brand name of instagram but there is also talk that there was quite some disagreement how many ads to put. on the instagram pages and that might also have been a reason why the two instagram co-founders left the company there's no doubt that has been and probably still is a huge just success story that almost has been a bargain looking big for facebook to buy instagram and twenty twelve for about one billion dollars just this summer instagram reached one billion
10:24 pm
diffuses now looking at the success that ensued instagram has been having it has been a bright spot for facebook because of its popularity was teens and young people a group that facebook has had trouble keeping around now what does this resignation of the instagram executives need to say. well there are a lot of analysts here on wall street saying that at least short term it's a clear negative for the growth rates from instagram have been much bigger recently than the growth rates from facebook and as you mentioned earlier facebook is under quite some pressure politically but also economically was the cambridge analytical scandal but also facebook this summer talked about slower growth rates and since then the stock got hammered by twenty four percent and by the way also the co-founders of what that also facebook acquired in twenty four it has recently left
10:25 pm
so certainly still a lot of turmoil at facebook he had scored in new york thank you. argentina's central bank president has unexpectedly resigned after just three months in the position this after a terms of thousands of people turned out to protest against the government's plan to impose austerity in exchange for another loan from the international monetary currency crisis the peso half its value against the dollar this year. protests on the streets of what is there read times of people turned out to reject on the stairs he punches the government needs to secure funds from the i.m.f. . i'm a teacher and i say no to the adjustments. i want the president to change course on these policies. like
10:26 pm
everyone else i'm affected by it economically whether it's work shortages or increasing food prices everyone here is feeling is. that devaluation of the art time period so that went from twenty eight to forty pages per dollars increase the social tension that began to be a month ago the social and economic adjustments made by the government especially in the service and transportation area are detained here demand the creation of new jobs increased salaries and for the government to change its economic power for it to stop asking for i.m.f. loans. analysts say the government has a clear incentive for wanting access to those funds as soon as possible. intention here is to avoid a new one back in two thousand and one two thousand and two that's why the government is attempting to give a signal to the i.m.f. to advance all the funds needed for two thousand and nineteen and two thousand and
10:27 pm
twenty. to give a clear signal that we've guaranteed funding for the next year for twenty twenty. but the question then is whether those funds will be extended for twenty twenty one . hours public anger amounts tuesday's general strike could be just the beginning of a bigger wave of resistance against austerity. and that's our business for now and we're almost out of time but we are out of time for christopher all of us here in berlin thanks for the company after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day stick around for the.
