10:02 pm
the german president frank beltre steinmeyer it was a glamorous occasion that took place within earshot of noisy demonstrations against the turkish leader earlier aired one met with german chancellor angela merkel for talks aimed at repairing the fractured relationship between their countries and at a joint press conference in berlin chancellor merkel admitted that differences between them remain but said that she is hopeful of finding common ground this despite fierce criticism within germany of turkey's human rights record even in germany there are sometimes moments when journalists cannot behave exactly as they please president had a woman was in the middle of his press conference with chancellor merkel when a man stood up and revealed a t. shirt with the words press freedom he was quickly bundled out by security officers the brief distractions seem to amuse and but his crackdown on journalistic freedom was one of the issues the chancellor raised with him at their meeting. it's no
10:03 pm
secret that there have been serious differences between us in recent years and there still are. people it's mainly about the rule of law and about press freedom that fogged up testify hurt by this davos to last about the case of gender of turkish journalists now in exile in germany everyone was defiant they could be the bush who for such. he used a loophole and he fled to germany. but his court sentence remains valid. and this person belongs in jail because he has revealed state secrets. you show you steve. outside on the streets of berlin protesters were also drawing attention to the lack of basic freedoms in turkey a protest it's not against the one but it's against his politics is politics often
10:04 pm
violation of human rights is politics of violation of freedom of press and journalism is not a crime but it seems to be a crime in turkey earlier german president steinmeyer greeted at a one at bellevue palace this visit is an attempt to normalize relations when times are anything but normal turkey is holding a number of germans as political prisoners not to mention thousands of his own citizens many politicians worry the owners go too far. better course for peace i think this appeasement course and to me it smells like appeasement is totally wrong because it had trays and mosques and those who were victims of oppression and there are hundreds of thousands of them in turkey holes in them and you know took. a number of demonstrations both for and against the want to do over the next twenty four hours but with thousands of police deployed in central berlin there's determination that street protests will not overshadow the diplomacy.
10:05 pm
and part of president obama's program on friday clude a state banquet in his honor hosted by germany's president frank. house and pill is outside of bellevue palace where that banquet is being held and here with me is the w's turkey correspondent yulia han with some analysis in the studio charlotte i'd like to turn to you first because i'd like to talk about the banquet it's significant not only because of who attended but also because of who did not. that's right sara number german opposition politicians announced ahead of the state banquet that they would boycott it as a sign of resistance of opposition to the turkish president's state village state visit a number of people have also pointed out that the german chancellor angela merkel is not taking part not been taking part in the the state banquet that has to be made clear is not something that's especially unusual she doesn't usually take part
10:06 pm
in these statements it's not any kind of signal that's being sent so father we heard that the banquet had been going as planned fairly smoothly although there have been reports the president after one in his speech at the banquets went slightly off script there were reports that he reprimanded the german president. apparently upset and angry by shaima as reference to political prisoners in germany and of course to a number of politicians a number of german political prisoners that are currently behind bars in turkey reports are still emerging but it appears that there was some anger at that statement but no shortage of controversy with his visit here in fact many germans also highly critical of the fact that i am the one has been welcomed with full honors to the country and without i'd like to turn to you yulia because it also comes at a very interesting time for turkey this visit what is erica one hoping to achieve
10:07 pm
in germany let me say one thing sara looking at looking back at what happened today this is already one of the most controversial if not the most controversial state visits to germany this year quite a number of scandals that we saw today and that outburst of anger there by mr out on the child that was just mentioning again there are just reports we have not been at the banquet we have not listened to his speech but that's what coming out what's coming out and media report. now is one of them and it's probably not exactly what he was hoping for for sure he was hoping for some glamorous pictures he was received with military honors earlier today by the german president he was handshaking with machall and for sure he wanted these pictures because it shows he is respected and received as a statesman here in germany europe's economic powerhouse and my feeling was that
10:08 pm
he was looking for to these kind of pictures to reassure financial markets to regain trust to show that he's among the europeans he is well respected there a difficult time for the country we know for example they are pretty much to. the country the country very much under a lot of economic pressure coming to germany hoping to increase the economic cooperation between germany and turkey also with europe just generally speaking and and charlotte you know not everyone in germany is happy about that in fact you were on the streets today and there were protesters out. that's right there were tens of thousands of people on the streets today what they were looking to do was to counter that image that you see it was just talking about that image of president to on as a statesman being welcomed in jimmy the protesters wanted to show that there are loads of people who feel very strongly against his visit the name of the protests
10:09 pm
that took part that was going on this could add to on was not welcomed people walked through the streets but streets were closed off to make way for them as they headed towards the presidential palace where they said that they wanted to make their voices heard by president out of one another would people from dozens of organizations taking part in this process including getting far left organizations people he's told me that they were increasingly concerned by president ad what they say is president ed once increasingly authoritarian rule we spoke to people who were concerned about press freedom free speech political prisoners there were also a number of code kurdish protesters as well on the streets here who said they were angry by this military offensive against kurdish militia in syria so a number of different groups here but what unites them with anger at the fact that essentially we're quite literally germany had rolled out the red carpet for president so a lot of concerns on the table as these two leaders meet we know the day one was on
10:10 pm
friday day two tomorrow saturday and yulia i'd like to turn to you because there was a press conference between air to one and merkel you live in turkey you know you're viewing this through that lens and i'd like to know if you see the possibility of progress here in this relationship i mean is this a relationship of reset between the two countries do you see the political will. i see some political will i see that mr advani in general has changed his language let's remember last year he accused the german government and chancellor merkel all of the nazi practices of being enemies of turkey so he has tuned down this. sharp criticism and now we approach is them saying he wants to revive the friendship and so on and there are reasons for germany and turkey to call parade of course economic reasons geo strategic reasons let's think about syria the migration crisis but as the german chancellor said today there are profound differences they remain
10:11 pm
and these differences appear when they talk about the rule of law and human rights and there are really have the feeling that they don't speak the same language miss medicals bring that up and then missed out on later on says well we have a stable constitutional democracy i don't know what you're talking about basically so in order for this relationship to get any better to improve they need to you know to speak the same language basically and i think it's a lot of work that remains to be done there w. turkey correspondent yulia hahn and charlotte charleston pill joining us from the fields thank you so much to both of you. now we head to the united states where the u.s. senate's judiciary committee has said that it will ask president donald trump to open a new f.b.i. probe into the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh earlier the committee recommended that the full senate vote. hoping to achieve with this visit
10:12 pm
we are turning now to of course talking about that testimony yesterday from christine before who said that he'd assaulted her at a gathering back in nineteen eighty or rather in the eighty's and a vote along party lines the committee backed cavanagh the deciding vote was cast by anti trump republican jeff flake he says that he is urging the republican senate leadership to delay a full vote on kavanah for a week until the federal bureau of investigation can complete a probe into allegations of misconduct against cavanagh let's listen in now to flake statement to the committee i think it would be. proper to delay the floor vote. for up to but not more than one week. in order to let the f.b.i. . continue to do an investigation limited in time and scope. to the current allegations that are there and i've spoken to a few other members. who are on my side of the aisle that may be supportive as well
10:13 pm
. so let's break down what all of this means is very on my estate are standing by in washington so my we have the committee here saying that it will ask for an f.b.i. probe are they likely to get it what's next. that is the million dollar question right now sarah because we're in very much uncharted waters when it comes to supreme court nominations i certainly can't remember a time when it's calm down exactly like this in the meantime senate republicans are also teaching the full senate vote on cavanagh's confirmation despite the fact that they have agreed to have this f.b.i. investigation happen so it looks like they're still trying to push forward with this. even with these compromises being made these obstacles being thrown in their way the vote scheduled on saturday to see whether or not they can even go forward with a vote and then the thing is the senate can still simply move forward with their
10:14 pm
vote and not have this investigation happen and this is a really double edged sword because they couldn't let this they could give this full week that's been asked for and let this investigation happen the investigation could turn up nothing and they could go ahead with the vote but they could also give enough time for these senators who are sort of declare that they're on the fence particularly two key republican senators to be swayed one way or another and it's interesting to see one of those key senators jeff flake of course pushing for this investigation that coming after he first announced that he would support cavanagh he was then we have to mention confronted by sexual assault victims in the halls of congress and i'd just like to play that footage and then get your reaction after a while. hard you take responsibility for it and you carry your lover someone with i'm willing to take responsibility for you the moment i was sure i'd really look forward to her that was not my moment to. be
10:15 pm
a hero. underwater robot i want to be. one of the great minute. we were. very clear that if you can just hear the emotion there i mean this issue has really struck a chord in the nation and therefore we'd like to know how much pressure is flake and other lawmakers under to vote against their republican party. this is one thing that flake said in his request for this f.b.i. investigation he said this country is being torn apart indicating that he wanted to do something about that i mean you can see this if you look on the rhetoric of bowl sides depending on what side of the aisle you were on you took away two very different messages from yesterday's very emotional testimony you either completely believed dr blasi forward or you completely believe judge kavanaugh and there was
10:16 pm
no in between and the the senators who have indicated they are on the fence about this are under an enormous amount of pressure right now both from their party and from the opposition party not to mention from their own constituents who i'm sure are on the phones are ringing them nonstop and the longer that this vote is delayed the more pressure there will be my a spanner in washington thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world gaza health officials say that at least seven palestinians have been shot dead during clashes with israeli soldiers along the gaza strip border they say that over five hundred others were wounded palestinians have been holding weekly protests there since march the israeli army says that its soldiers were provoked. danish police closed the bridges and shut down ferries linking the capital copenhagen to the mainland as they undertook a major manhunt the police said that they were looking for

10:18 pm
network had to admit that up to eighty seven million user profiles have been compromised. now for more from our social media desk is with me this all sounds pretty bad what else do we know about this case because it basically what facebook said is that hackers were able to get bits of information that gave them x. is to fifty million user accounts as you said in the information cold. tokens these are basically the digital keys to our account and they help us by by not not making us having to log back into our accounts every single time we use facebook so in effect they stole fifty million keys and they did that by exploiting the view as options you're on facebook kristoff and you've got different security options for different people and you want to know well what does my account look like if jared looks at it this is when you touch my name into view as and so the hackers got into
10:19 pm
view as took fifty million k's and you know looked at all these accounts facebook says it identified the problem on tuesday and it put a patch in on thursday ok fifty million cases gone that's what we know what don't we know ok so we don't know who was behind this facebook says it's investigating who did it but it still is none the wiser it says whoever was behind the hack had to have been pretty sophisticated and i guess we can believe that but it still doesn't hide the fact that one of the world's biggest social media companies was so vulnerable that it allowed you know that it could get hacked or we don't know is whether the hackers took anything from the account so they did it misused the information you know it was able to get and didn't do anything to the accounts did it put a thing up didn't post anything we did in the name mismanage the accounts in any way we just aren't there yet now you've already mentioned i'm on facebook you're on facebook how do i know if my account has been compromised ok so you will be asked
10:20 pm
to log into facebook in the next day or two and you'll know because you haven't actually logged out so you have to logan without having logged out facebook has reset these digital keys for the fifty million users affected cost an extra forty million as a precaution in total nineteen million people will have to log back into facebook it's stressed that pos words are not affected so the hack is when i will to get into any possible it's all right we've been here before there has been this massive data breach just. six months ago. any foreseeable ramifications for facebook regarding this latest data breach it's hard to tell we've only just found out about it but it isn't a good look because of course you know six months ago the cambridge analytical scandal happened when political consultants got their hands on the user daughter of tens of millions of people at the time mark zuckerberg told congress that they were up to the task of protecting our data but of course this breach is not going to help convince lawmakers that it is up to the task not
10:21 pm
a good look indeed jared from d.w. social media just thank you. and staying with the woes of the tech industry tesla shares have taking a huge tumble the u.s. securities and exchange commission accusing chief executive in lawn musk of fraud the f.c.c. says musk quote knew or was reckless in not knowing that he was misleading investors and it all started with a tweet. i'm considering taking tests not private at four hundred twenty dollars funding think here and if the message test i feel you know iran must tweeted to his twenty two million followers last month and here's the response of u.s. regulators who've charged him with fraud. musk statements misled members of the investing public to believe that it was virtually certain he could take private at a price of four hundred twenty dollars per share which was
10:22 pm
a substantial premium over a share price of that time because funding for this proposed transaction had been secured and the only contingency remaining was a shareholder vote. the market reacted to this information and. quickly traded out we allege that most statements were false and misleading because they lacked any basis in fact on the day of musts tweet last month test us shares shot up causing the nasdaq to suspend trading for an hour and a pop. that calls huge losses for so-called short sellers investors who borrow a company's stock betting that it will fall in a statement issued by tesla must call the allegations of fraud unjustified and said that he was taken action in the interests of his investors test shares fell nearly twelve percent after news of the fraud charges broke. as the remains of the fire for more let's cross over to
10:23 pm
a wall street correspondent you have scored against the u.s. is going for. are they likely to get it. well that depends and i do not believe that the f.c.c. really wants to get rid of. because he's very closely connected to tesla and the f.c.c. in the first place would like to protect investors and if they really get rid that might be a negative for the stock price as we have learned obviously the a.c.c. put a deal on the table pretty fair deal in the very last second decided to not go for it and that really caused quite somebody eating year on wall street the stock at the end of the day lost almost fourteen percent in value but it is still possible that a deal could be reached between moscow and the as you see and you have heard about the latest trouble over at facebook how's the market responded to the news about
10:24 pm
another massive data breach at least. yeah initially it was a bit of a shocker and the stock dropped by a good thirty three and a half per cent of one of the critics of facebook has been for quite some time that they're collecting ever more data but they're not necessarily able to really protect those so what we've heard so far is that obviously in this particular case no credit card information was stolen so that's at least a little bit of good news and the stock recovered at the end of trading at the end of the day facebook is down by about two and a half percent but those have been some pretty rough months for facebook since the all time high that was reached in july the stock is down a good twenty five percent you had scored in new york thank you. well over two hundred ryanair flights for struck from departure boards across europe today staff
