country and the past couple months we have seen especially in the eastern part of the country right during demonstrations some of those turned vial and a lot of moderate german germans were shocked by these pictures and they finally said it's a very time to get their voices heard they want to make sure that they can express that they are completely opposed to right wing extremism and hatreds. in central berlin now that march is taking place just a day before key regional elections in bavarian south and germany a political seismic shift is expected in tomorrow's state elections opinion polls show support for the once mighty c.s.u. collapsing but voters are also rejecting the traditional opposition that s.p.d. and are turning to smaller parties instead such as the greens and the far right alternative for germany the vote will likely have ramifications for germany's governing coalition in belin. the christian social union the c.s.u.

and pretzels both things but very is known for but while pretzels are likely to remain popular after birth various state elections on sunday the c.s. use immediate future seems not quite so bright although the various center right party is unlikely to lose power in the state altogether post suggest it's heading for its worst performance since the nine hundred fifty s. the various state premier marcus is thinking positively. or disciplined surprisingly different from the opinion polls for us that just means keep on fighting. on the final day of campaigning marcus and the c.s. lewis national leader german interior minister horst zabel five joined forces and they invited a special guest austria's conservative chances a bastion courts who they hoped would give them a last minute boost. staying positive and that's also what the social democrats are trying to do even though polls suggest they'll

where d. w.'s chief political editor standing by so what changes could this vote tomorrow have on the region and beyond. but first of all it breaks up a decades long near one party rule of this year's you party and the reason why we're all getting so excited about this is because this has been rock solid conservative support ground also for the german chancellor angela merkel in berlin that appears to be beginning to crumble and that will certainly also have an effect on her power base and the stability of a government that seemed to me a meltdown's of the past six months alone alone so that's what everybody here is bracing themselves for the big question is what direct effect will it have on the c.s.u. leadership how much will it harm the german chancellor and what will that exact result so let me throw the question back to you does this vote pose

a potential risk to chancellor angela merkel has self i mean the c.s.u. is at the very end as. so we cannot go on it does but that risk already seems to be factored in nobody expected the c.s.u. to come out here with the same results to last time which is forty seven point seven percent that translated into an absolute majority in the regional parliament but we saw. he was now the president of parliamentary repartee. through that greek financial crisis just a form of the german finance minister admitting for the first time on the record that hope power base was no longer as strong as it used to be well that's been an open secret really but this defeat or this setback of a power base is factored into sunday the big question is there a result of actions in the state of pesach in two weeks' time and those could bring down c do you state you're one of her supporters that could then become

a real shock to the conservative system throwing open how much longer she would want to say the leader of a past that increasingly looks weak not just because but also in spite of our chief political editor thank you. as now look at some of the other stories making news around the world us fast and bronson is on his way home after taken. from house arrest and was arrested two years ago on terror charges his detention was caused rather has caused serious friction between washington and ankara with both sides imposing tit for tat sanctions. in indonesia at least twenty two people are dead half of them children after an overflowing river triggered landslides that destroyed a wall at school rescuers are still combing through mud and rubble for others.

health officials in gaza say israeli troops have killed seven palestinians in clashes of the border fence separating the two sides the israeli military says its troops opened fire as thousands of palestinians demonstrated and began throwing rocks and fire bombs it's one of the deadliest incidents in months of protests along the border. so facebook has released fresh details about a recent data breach of the social network the incident is shaping up to be a first test for the e.u.'s new data protection rules and it could land the company with a hefty fine for we turn to digital reporter william no of new cruft who has the latest so we known about this breach for some weeks now so what's new yeah right so

facebook originally said that as many as fifty million users have been affected by this breach and as a precaution they remote logged out ninety million users i was one of them maybe you were to that number since been revised down to just thirty million users facebook says they're now notifying them and facebook also knows exactly what kind of data of hours of these thirty million people were breached which they released in a statement yesterday they detailed that fifteen million people had their name and contact details stolen another forty million had other personal information such as location and language places they've recently checked into in recent searches they made so facebook goes on to say in that statement that they are cooperating with u.s. and e.u. regulators or authorities or say i should say but at least on the e.u. side there are those regulators are going to be looking just as much into facebook as they are the breach itself and what is that well a little a little thing known as g.d.p. our general data protection regulation which you may remember. was all the rage

back in earlier this year when it seemed like anyone with a website in the world was scrambling to make sure that they were in compliance with these new strict rules that before they went into effect across the e.u. in may g.d.p. are basically lays out pretty strict rules for how a company like facebook is to handle a situation just like this when our personal data is breached and the fines for not doing so is pretty steep it's four percent of global annual global revenue which for facebook could be as much as one point six billion dollars if it's found to be in some way violating or not complying or neglectful of g.d.p. our rules no ireland's data protection commission they're the ones with jurisdiction of facebook in the e.u. they put out a tweet yesterday a statement says that they think the new information is significant and will continue its investigation into the breach into facebook facebook's compliance and its obligations under g.d.p. are so ireland's data protection is clearly looking into it and compliance

basically means two things one that facebook notified data protection officials within seventy two hours of themselves learning about the breach and that facebook is somehow not negligent in protecting data protect data privacy of its users as laid out by g p r now the seventy two hour window facebook at least appears to be safe on that one it's a bit more complicated when it comes to the negligence side and that's what the irish data protection commission really wants to look into we're going to just wait and see what that investigation uncovers it could be a rather expensive result for facebook. thank you for packing that complex topic for us. and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you saudi arabia has described as baseless allegations claims that it killed just and generous jamal khashoggi in turkey but reports say ankara has video and all the approval of his killing inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. you're watching news from brisbane just
