4:08 pm
a news crew trauma knew were not excluding a spontaneous assault and were not excluding a premeditated assault. one thing is clear the murder was committed with great brutality and cruelty. but with bulgaria currently ranked the lowest of all e.u. members when it comes to press freedom someone is here are convinced the act was politically motivated the european commission says it expects a thorough investigation into mary novus killing. and we now go live to sofia and to us and he's a journalist and founder of the investigative news website be vall we say you are the no victoria line nobody gave your investigations a platform on her t.v. show what do you make of. hello. want to say the first that not only victoria but all the team of for t.v.

4:10 pm
very serious and sensitive information that we are under danger. to the suspected diaries which exposed in our investigations they're discussing some sharp. actions against the team of people. we gave the information abroad because we don't believe will guarantee or at least we can see they're dumb or were overflowing. with bulgarian mafia and these high level corruption look. but do we but actually we we have never expected that the victoria or the courts from given to became some victims so we we can say that it's it's connected but the fact is that t.v. and is the only media in bulgaria nevertheless that it's
4:11 pm
a regional media that gave the tribune and their. end to investigate or our investigations concerning this very level corruption the scheme the only media will hear it now give us an idea of the scale of fraud and corruption but a bug area that you're investigating you talk about high level corruption what do you mean by high level. i mean this corruption scheme is connected either with. people in power. and the people in or in in in organized crime and we revealed that and it's collected. and we've organized crime we. already dark it groups we're going to borger in but an international connection for the governor and people in bulgarian government so. let's say that the government trying minister.

parts of the city he aim is to improve air quality for emissions scandal has thrust the impact of dirty diesels into the spotlight with other countries on the verge of banning them altogether. germany's motorists don't know which way to turn nitrogen oxide emissions have breached legal limits in seventy major towns and cities but which of them intends to ban diesels from their city centers and which cars will be affected politicians are devouring at the so-called these all summit a week ago they agreed with car makers that they would clean their diesels up but just how they'll do it remains an open question and the needed measures are not legally enforceable anyway. the only thing that certain is that anyone driving a diesel can't be sure they'll still be allowed to drive it in german cities. cities are imposing restrictions or plan to in countries including germany denmark
4:14 pm
sweden norway britain belgium the netherlands france italy spain and greece. some countries like denmark and norway want to completely ban all petrol and diesel cars from their roads it's a response to data which shows nearly four hundred thousand europeans a year dying premature deaths because of particulate pollution auto emissions contribute to that and e.u. wide limits have been in force since two thousand and eight but hardly anyone's enforce them yet the auto industry is far too important an employer especially in germany now the wind has changed brussels is now insisting that emissions limits be effectively enforced pressuring governments and automakers alike but the question is whether these diesel bound spark a concerted shift towards electric vehicles and other than alternatives. another bad day for equities the international monetary fund cutting its global growth

4:31 pm
a surprise and the short answer is no we don't know why and why now this is really seems like shocked everyone in the administration it kind of harkens back to the the old days at the beginning of the trumpet ministration when it seemed like there was a person resigning every minute this really there was no lead up to this there was no open leaks reported strife between haley and the president although she is known as more of a moderate republican with in the cabinets and she is was also not a trump acolyte she wasn't someone who was on the trump bandwagon from the beginning of the campaign as many of his other cabinet officials are or have been so there's really it is a surprise to everyone there was no heads up that this was coming and it does leave us wondering why now we do know that she had just completed one month as the president of the u.n. security council and we are expecting any moment now her ship here in the oval
4:32 pm
office with trump possibly to explain her reasoning and why do you see she was a moderate republican she appeared to be a very loyal supporter of donald trump also coming to his defense when there was criticism often what more can you tell us what the relationship between nikki haley and president trump. she definitely did her job defending the president and his policies at the un policies that were more than a little contentious among the diplomats there but she also disagreed with him on many issues russia being one of the most prominent issues we know that president trump is a big fan of russian president vladimir putin and haley dro much harder line on russia one thing that they also disagreed on a lot was issues of sexual assault and sexual misconduct we just finished this very very bruising fight over the new supreme court official who just was sworn in officially last night and he had to face allegations of sexual misconduct no
4:33 pm
speculation from me here but that is one thing something that is still vibrating in american politics right now it's also simply possible that she has another job within the administration or somewhere else that she's looking to take and she thinks that the end of this month where she was president of the security council would be a good time to step down but i should also add we should all remember just a few weeks ago it seems like a long time ago there was this an anonymous op ed that ran in the new york times talking about the resistance within the trump administration and she was one of the names that was bounced around as possibly the anonymous author of this op a lot of interesting thoughts them in washington thank you very much and of course the two sets to meet shortly in the white house and we'll know more after that thank you very much for that live update from washington for now. to the not to india which has a thriving comedy scene recently it's been shaken by allegations of sexual
4:34 pm
congressman's the revelations have given new momentum to the need to movement stand up comedy is. dominated and very few women take to the stage. sonya funny could make one female comedian in delhi and sent us this report. now ladies this is a helium powered decision by. an unusual sight at a popular comedy club in delhi the other country maybe even the pope the who are gone from our divisions. saying this isn't going and asking all condoms is a woman tackling topics usually considered taboo like buying condoms i wouldn't give it to those me all these ways are going we'll see what. they were doing. my brother and i are close but not that. jokes about six
4:35 pm
matter which love masculinity and had a small calling out six of them and in the process she's well known in india's comedy circuit largely a boys' club the dissuades women from joining in the profession because you travel you're alone you're in front of drunk. there's a barrier of exceptions we're just getting better no word and also you know we would get so much attention just walking on the road who wants to put it up on stage and i actually do wonder tention we're taught from childhood to not draw attention to ourselves so it's very hard to get over that mindset. i think we've got a fairly decent crowd and those hurdles are all too familiar to you during the day she runs a film production company evenings the office doubles up as a venue for comedy events the difference is that the shows here are only meant for aspiring female comics as hostile as a space for women in either sex ratio has that of the. women feeling safe enough to
4:36 pm
come out in the evening stand comedy happening in the evenings at night even something as small as that can be huge barrier that men never have to consider and of course jenny the joy of that is of course more. well hyper masculine and doesn't treat me any believe in means way says very much. but daly also provides rich material this is when he began her career as a comedian seven years ago she encounters rampant sexual harassment and grew great on the city streets and trammels it into satirical jokes act the stories and witty one liners spawned at a favorite cafe it's the perfect place for observing people where he honestly when i started out movement or both this being i don't use it profession for a woman i was doing what i like doing. but then over a period of time where you start to notice the difference in the reaction that you get from the audience the male artistry before you know you do you funny i'm more
4:37 pm
street or you're really boring car to help or you're for the woman you're course on stage you know use a cuss word every largescale so you know he wasn't funny today or he wasn't funny going fail women are not funny not that woman wasn't funny it's he and i would get frightening. right. comedians like need to also prompting the rethink among the predominantly male audiences but i was a little skeptical about you know about a girl doing you know stand up comedy but the man we actually saw hope performing it was absolutely fantastic but doing the comedy is something which is breaking this year and they got a question she was raising across like using gone and the really how we look at it how we look at female gender particularly so that is something which is interesting maybe. pushing the boundaries and challenging biases one joke at
4:38 pm
a time. and gender discrimination is not the only obstacle facing female comedians in india sexual house want is also a problem for women on this in the scene as highlighted by a string of revelations over recent days. from our social media discuss been tracking those enjoins. now welcome gonna how did these allegations surfaced as seems like india really is now starting to go through its own me to moment there we're seeing women start to go public name and shame the men that they say are sexually abusing them and just as we've seen in the us these are often high profile men in big industries we're talking of entertainment the news media higher education and as you mentioned in comedy just a few days ago there was a female writer and comic who he was a prominent male comedian his name is huge soft chakraborty of sexual misconduct she called him out on twitter saying that he'd sent her an unwanted picture and here's exactly what she said and that tweet she rise i want everyone to know the
4:39 pm
chalkboard she is a piece of excrement he sent me a picture of his genitals it was creepy then he cried saying i'll ruin his career if i tell others i told two of the most influential men in comedy in india and nothing happened let me tell you what else he has done to others her post as you can see this inspired several more women to come forward with similar stories about chalkboards you can see them here on her twitter account they all lead similar behavior and they say that he went unpunished that's despite the fact that apparently his behavior in the industry these sorts of accusations against him were supposedly somewhat of an open secrets. is actually sense and apology on twitter on his twitter account this is what he said he writes in part it's a little too late now but i am sorry i really am please tell me what to do now how to make things right i don't want anyone to be hurt anymore look this is not an isolated case we've been seeing lots of accusations popping up on twitter from
4:40 pm
women in india against many other prominent men across many different industries of course we know it's almost one year since that me to hashtag went viral in the us it seems now india having to deal with some of these similar issues and face these issues of sexual harassment in these big industries right from a social media dissent you very much for that information. list live to our daily studio where in the she is standing by she's a women's rights and gender reporter for buzz a buzz feed news based in delhi and she said the need to movement has got a lot of momentum in recent weeks tell us first about this bollywood actress. who had come out come out again with sexual housemate allegations she first made over a decade ago what impact has that had there i mean i think it's had a huge effect because i think bollywood is one of the most of kind of closed
4:41 pm
industries that is when it comes to talking about sexual harassment of work that is almost little to no protection at all for those and actresses and you know artists and technicians who work on a film set often that is protection from physical harm might be something that they consider but certainly not from sexual house from and it's very much considered part of the job so i think hawes speaking more than one speaking it's the act of everyone listening to a whole story that she's been repeating for the last of danios like you said that's having a huge effect in bollywood particularly. also recently as many female journalists have come out and named and shamed senior executives and editors claiming that their sexual predators what more can you tell us about that. so i mean the thing is that the outing of men in positions of power
4:42 pm
began with a list that the youth women in india had comply to you know to go back it was very much about men in academia and men in the media have you know because they still exercised over the women that i naming them have been notoriously hard to dutch and to talk about it but the kind of everyone gathering together throughout those on social media something that began where you were a boy it slowed down and this moment we found that you know it's just taken like an unprecedented dawn where people are even naming people that they are still looking for so it's really seems like just contagious in this case so what do they see that indian women have changed on holiday and act and speak up and they're now demanding accountability or all kinds of issues that are of deep concern to them. that's absolutely true because indian women i mean the part of being
4:43 pm
a good indian woman is suffering in silence and there's a void puts and she'll tell which means like toilet ends and it's a very valued kind of quality for in women to have the more you go to the better your water as a person and as a woman and as a mother was a wife and i think what we're seeing is that people are finally realizing that dime's up on dollars a day in this kind of behavior i'm if you take a look at these allegations what you see is that at this moment it's really confusing everything that's being it includes emotional abuse situations where people have drug and violence women and it's all coming together which is which is really intense too hard and hard to make sense of at this moment but i think in the days when forward that's what was going to be seeing a lot of right initiate image from bonds feed news in delhi a pleasure to have you on the program. thank you. that may not be new some of

going to come back. is this cuffing some of the major events in terms of cultural heritage around the world and i would say we just take a look. at a conference in berlin experts are discussing ways to best protect the cultural heritage. the most high profile heritage disaster in recent years the destruction of the ancient city of palmira by so-called islamic state. as the world looked on in real time islamic state made a public show of destroying ancient buildings and artifacts while secretly benefiting from the illicit trade in historical goods the obscene destruction and to wipe out memory and knowledge and start anew according to giovanni at the conference in berlin such actions also serve to terrorize. people not only reacted because of course of the shocking images of this destructions that were
4:51 pm
shown on every t.v. network it became also very clear there was a strong connection between the destruction of cultural heritage and the security of the effect of the communities. after such destruction many were relieved to see plans made for the areas restoration but the rebuilding of palmira can also be used as a weapon one of the things that we've seen today is the. cultural views by different entities today's political. politicize ation awareness and protection just some of the many issues on the table at the conference in berlin cultural heritage in crisis looking at how we can best hold on to and continue to learn from the past. of course and upon the years of a dramatic example of cultural heritage but this is this is much more broader aspect of the preservation of cultural heritage is that it has told me i'm

returning the thing is that the conflicts in the middle east like the destruction in syria in iraq in mali there are extreme examples and actually they also serve to kind of raise awareness within the entire international community in terms of importance of cultural heritage and quite situation because we've seen these pictures you know on t.v. so what we have to consider and what i think is interesting is that actually many experts argue that more damage is being done by development pressure there on the world every day. and it might have been caused by armed conflicts but in two three years in the middle east so if we look at an even here in europe very close one example is the most romantic city that every tourist loves there was advantage for example. one is really overcrowded by tourism and it gets more every year last year over thirty million people visited the small city the number of tourists increased by twenty five percent in the last decade and the dilemma is when is needs to resume to survive and yet tourism is destroying the city so now since april this

year the mayor has installed automatic automatic gates as we can see to control the flow of pedestrians and avoid certain areas and so that it becomes a crowded but in the city or just really tourists not to come popular days but the problem is of course not just the pedestrians it's also a big problem having on the watch as the big cruise ships coming on and bringing masses of tourists into the heart of the city so yeah so this is also problems that we don't have always in mind when we think something like this really sticks but what is a conference hoping to achieve for what they are trying to achieve or hoping to achieve at least is trying to find the best way to actually prevent like build a culture of prevention before things happen like to help states groups and even and wiggles prepare for the crisis before it happens it's possible for instance in iraq now but like in syria and yemen of course of because of the political situation and the conflict we cannot really do much now we have to leave it there
