northern iraq with the community you were just there again this year she's been announced as one of the laureates does that come as a surprise to you a little bit yes yesterday we were speaking in the office i thought it must be someone linked to the maybe need to campaign that has you know captured the imagination of people across the globe but not self i thought yeah maybe but maybe not i wasn't entirely sure but i think this combination that was announced today really works well i'm very happy for her what do you think nadia has contributed to raising awareness about sexual violence and conflict well if you think about what happened to her you know those three months and i guess captivity starting in two thousand and fourteen i mean if you really look at what happened to her and she's very blunt and open about it she was so like cattle she was burned with cigarettes but she was raped and gang raped and treated like a piece like a thing not like a human being and then she managed to escape she ended up being smuggled into

a refugee camp and then you know gathering that strength to open up and to really go public because rape is special gang rape is also associated with shame especially in the u.c.d. community which is a rather conservative community then you know coming to germany and making the choice to write a book about it to become a goodwill ambassador of the united nations speaking in front of the european parliament we lift that trauma again and again with each and every single interview that she gives sometimes i wonder isn't that a bit too much for such a young women i mean she's only like in her twenty's but the she says you know i'm not a victim i'm a survivor and as a survivor i need to let my voice to others because we're talking about if we only look at the community of roughly seven thousand people who suffered this fate about how awful. them are still unaccounted for in captivity and if you look around the globe we're talking tens of thousands of women who have suffered the same being

used as a weapon in war and you revisit the yazidi community this year how much has the sexual violence that was perpetrated against them really shaped this community and as it tries to recover it is the communities that experience genocide you know it was a genius sidle campaign too in the late community and that jim wright also is the face of that she once together with her lawyer clooney you know take those ones who perpetrated this to be taken to an international court she's thinking about the united nations special tribunal because as of now no one has been you know accused and then also convicted of genocide and the fate that the especially the women had to suffer from the time that you've spent in this community how important do you think this prize is for them i mean when we were there we met women who had returned from captivity after four years she was so french i just imagine you are

held captive for four years and being a victim of rape almost every single day and being sold what does that do to you how can you ever live a normal life again but those voices must not be silent they must be heard and nothing not your more it has taken it upon herself to be the voice of these women who are also by this that is exactly the message that the nobel committee said they wanted to send with awarding this prize tonight in iraq centrifuges month thank you very much well let's talk now about the other laureate that we have some to last us with us from the africa desk and she joins us from boston we're talking about denis mcquade the other laureate here of the thanks for joining us now dennis macwhich it has been honored by the u.n. many other organizations in the past for his work he's been called dr americal did this announcement come as a surprise to you. it's not a surprise actually i was very happy that finally dennis macwhich a has been you know named and has been given this prize this time around you know

that he has been favorite for us i mean like people have been speculating for quite a long time that he should be given this this prize he has been named still miracle because he is a believer he is he has been fighting against sexual violence for quite a long time and you know about his. own vision he founded his hospital in one thousand nine hundred nine and that hospital actually was founded because he has seen misery of many women being suffering with lung without being helped and for that reason i think he deserved and this prize put to today it has been not a surprise but it has been a great moment for not only him but khamenei people who are fighting against against sexual violence some to tell us more about his life and how he came to do

this work. dennison macwhich i actually was born in one thousand nine hundred fifty five he was the third of nine children he started many sins but he studied medicine because he wanted to help women who are giving birth and having trouble in giving both but in one thousand nine hundred nine he saw the need of women getting not only trouble in giving birth but their getting ripped and they were not having help from anyone so the very first case i remember he has been talking about it was just a few meters away from his hospital where this woman was gang raped and he took her and he operated her and he took this as a mission for him to help as many women who are used as

a weapon of war i mean sexual violence as weapon of war so that they can you know they can be living a life full of hope and people have have they have been seeing him as a hope as a person who is whole can give them back the life that they're supposed to be living and he's also someone who's been a very vocal advocate for this for these women he has repeatedly accused the world of failing to act on sexual violence do you think awarding him this nobel peace prize and not be a mirage will change anything about how about how the world approaches sexual violence against women. i would hope that this would change because i mean this gives also motivation for him to say that to the judge that he has been doing for all these years it's not in vain and also it will it's a wake up cold to many not only the you know authorities in different countries in

africa but all over the world that. six of our of our own that violence is not something that we should you know like close our eyes to we have to open our eyes we have to listen to the stories and also help the people that we think that they are victims of sexual violence and we shouldn't use six children violence. in different ways as you know impunity as a power as as a as a as a as a weapon for anything for that reason i think it's not if not going to change the mentality then it will change also the way people see those cases all right dennis mckechnie one of the congress one of the two sorry nobel laureates of this year of congo is going to college less than a simple let us from our africa desk in bonn thank you so much for your analysis thank you. well we got some other news now and it christiane over

said it was setting up an internal jewish group the party has faced criticism after failing to sanction members for downplaying the holocaust and harboring links to neo nazis seventeen jewish organizations have issued a statement saying that no citizen of germany who cared about democracy could identify with the f.t. . that he knew in a town this jewish and he supports the f.t. when he was nineteen you left ukraine and the discrimination he felt there is a jew and came to germany now he fears anti-semitism here. there are lots of problems in germany which weren't there before and they're only being addressed by the air thing or is. it we're talking about the clear artist semitism you can see in the qur'an one woman. because there are so many migrants from the region that has this religion it's clear that we're going to see more and more anti semitism in germany there. are three people from birth

from who it was by god process some observers it might seem paradoxical for jewish people to join the a fifty but they have and on sunday this setting up a formal group in the party. spokesman is steamy to be sure it's he's a jew from the former soviet union and he sees if he is the only party fighting muslim anti-semitism i doubt if you that or to the one fortunately many germans have no sense of homeland this homeland is in danger and that means not pulling institute says anti-semitism it's much more prevalent in the h.d. than in other parties and the f.t. leadership has faced repeated criticism for playing down the crimes of the nazis when there are the nazis and no more than a speck of bird poop in more than a thousand years of successful german history. sergey like audience he is

a leading member of prisons jewish community and as far as he's concerned jews joining the a fifteen is a bad joke but he says the party is resonating with some jewish groups and we shouldn't forget that about ninety percent of jewish people in germany are also of eastern european origin mostly come from the soviet union and bring the whole baggage of stereotypes and a kind of a. liberal understanding of democracy and also there are people who are german speakers speaking who. are right wing and who are trying to use this and some of the lies this feeling and this is what we're seeing. the jews in the a.g. group would get short shrift at the mazeltov on in berlin the jewish own across the pinsky sees the group as no more than a tactic to divert attention from if d.m. . some. of those nations just irreconcilable

jews cannot be involved in a party which is clearly associated with anti semitic motivations and anti semitic people it doesn't make sense to trust people like that and mentions. that pinsky least if he is clearly anti-semitic and a group of jews in the party won't change that. the u.s. senate is a step closer to confirming president trump's nominee for the supreme court brett kavanaugh that after the f.b.i. submitted its report on allegations of sexual misconduct against cavanagh republicans say the f.b.i. report contains nothing to substantiate sexual misconduct claims and they're determined to press ahead with a vote on his confirmation later on friday but democrats and protesters say the probe was incomplete comedian any schumer was among three hundred people arrested at a rally against cavanagh inside a senate office building they were detained after refusing to leave the site.

into space now and especially the part of it closest to earth the problems for filling it up with trash almost two thousand new objects were added to the astronomical garbage pile last year alone and scientists warn that it could endanger future space expeditions so this week thousands of experts are meeting in germany to try to find a solution to the ever increasing problem of space junk. the international astronauts congress posted this year by the german city of payment covers rockets satellites and even space stations anything that humankind launches into orbit but the more we shoot into near it space the bigger our problem with potentially damaging space junk becomes the soviet vehicle gets like a political some object a satellite for instance it will damage or sometimes even destroy it for example if it hits a fuel tank or a battery and causes an explosion or if an object like that even

a small one collides with the international space station it can punch a hole in the hole causing an air leak. and fight our modern societies have become dependent on such satellite systems for telecommunications navigation and weather forecasting as well as much more that's why experts say we need to act quickly to reduce the risk of damaging this delicate orbiting equipment which is what we need is something like a vacuum cleaner but that wouldn't work in space of course it's a real challenge some objects will return to the atmosphere and just burn up that's the low orbit objects at an altitude of four hundred to five hundred kilometers those in high orbits will stay in place more or less forever. some possible solutions are in early development and scientists say we need to act quickly before the space around our planet becomes too crowded for us to use. our i christopher's here with business now and i case of alleged high tech espionage is right sue me us tech giants apple and amazon are strongly denying reports that

chinese spies installed back doors the many of their servers. the accusations were first leveled by a news agency bloomberg now according to the report as many as thirty companies were victim to the hardware attack which saw a third party vendor supply them with motherboards that granted beijing access to the company's private networks the infiltration was supposedly detected back in twenty fifty and reported to us in four days however both apple and amazon claim they have no evidence their services were infiltrated. air until june is here from business to shed some more light on the story a lot of denials out there how likely is of though that there is truth to this story well bloomberg the media outlet that originally initiated this report is sticking by its guns and right now we can only basically work with what they've given us so far of course apple and amazon have deny this as has the u.s. government but according to bloomberg they've spoken to

a row of very high senior level intelligence operatives who have confirmed that the chinese government was able to install a backdoor chip on motherboards which were then distributed to companies throughout the united states and they may have even wound up in the american intelligence apparatus as well now supposedly this back door chip would have given them a much more in-depth access to the information networks of these companies and the government than a typical software solution you know we've been seeing this type of industrial espionage for a long time now but previously it's been all focused on software solutions right and that's kind of a different more a little bit softer level but as you know i mean like a software solution can easily be fixed with a patch so i mean if you look at it like kind of like a metaphor it's kind of like you know an infiltrator would have the keys to the castle but having but with a software update you can change the locks quite quickly now a chip would give you a much more in-depth access a lot of the experts that we've been reading so far been saying it's giving them

almost god like access to these companies networks which of course is of great. concern for them. sounds like this case it could have huge dimensions oh definitely because it really kind of raises some questions about how these american tech companies function you know for all if china has actually managed to assault the production lines of these companies that means they could buy potentially get access to all of their data all their information at a very very deep level now if you look at the production chain american tech companies are depended upon china to deliver cheap electronics and without these people like tronics their products get a lot more expensive so it seems right now many of these tech companies have kind of trade security for profitability in the long time and the question remains the question is kind of raised going forward are they going to keep their production lines in china or they going to move into maybe a potentially safer country erin thank you for now we'll come back to you in a moment u.s. vice president mike pence has urged google to immediately end the development of

its dragon fly app google is reportedly building the app especially to comply with censorship requirements in china mr pence said the dragon-fly would strengthen china's censorship regime and compromised the privacy of customers the app would make it easier to track private internet searches he said business leaders should also think twice before entering the chinese market if it meant turning over intellectual property google has not yet confirmed that it's working on a search engine tailored specifically for the chinese market. back to you aaron when news surfaced about this dragon-fly google's employees spoke out strongly against it now we have the u.s. vice president weighing in wouldn't this be the ultimate time to stop the project well it would be a good opportunity but you really have to kind of look at it from google's perspective now of course they quite famously left china in two thousand and ten basically saying the requirements the chinese government put on their services was not conform you know with their famous motto don't be evil but you know eight years

later things have changed a lot i mean the chinese market is the fastest and largest growing quickly as quick as growing the internet marketplace in the world and i mean just look at the success of alibaba it's become one of the richest companies on the planet in a very very short amount of time so google definitely wants to tap in on that but the question is kind of out there with this poisoned chalice they haven't confirmed they're working on it but it would be surprising to be absolutely honest if they weren't because long term if they're going to keep growing as a company they do need access to all of those potential consumers in china but there are concerns that i think anybody would be right to have especially considering the new like citizen rating system that the chinese government has come up with i mean it's it's rather orwellian and getting access to people's search data could mean the government would have a law much more deep inside and how they're citizens and what they actually think so it could be like i said really going to be a poison chalice for google if they're not careful moving forward don't be evil

sometimes hard to stick true to that aaron children from details of business thank you so much for your insight. and reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour of the twenty eight hundred nobel peace prize has been announced it goes to two activists working to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. and got a call just to treating victims of sexual violence in the democratic republic of congo and a young woman rights activist and survivor of sexual slavery by islamic state in iraq. you're watching the news coming to you live from berlin with more news coming up at the top of the hour in the meantime thank you for watching wherever you. play.
