this is c w news live problem for lennon freedom for a woman sentenced to death in pakistan a christian woman was issued hanged for blasphemy insulting islam but a pakistani court overturned the conviction and pre-term the case causing widespread outrage among both human rights groups and hard line islamists. also coming up nato has launched a joint exercise in northern europe with military hardware and tens of thousands of troops from all twenty nine member countries russia says that the maneuvers are an

anti russian exercise but are they truly preparation for twenty first century conflict and we'll head to one door to find out why so many feel right and are fleeing that country for the u.s. even as president trying to tighten the southern border. byron munich survived a scare in football's german cup the record holders labored judy two one victory over the new national side loading columns that will bring you the highlights and a look ahead to today's consciously. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program accord in pakistan has freed a christian woman sentenced to death by hanging for blasphemy bibi condemned to death in two thousand and ten was. the first woman in the country to receive

a death sentence for insulting islam her case has caused widespread outrage among both human rights groups and hard line islamists extra security forces were deployed in the capital after islamist threatened violence upon her release. from mind this let's bring an empty as global a commentator on pakistani affairs based in the country's capital islamabad welcome to you this morning this case it dates back nearly a decade remind us why was asio b.b. of originally condemned to death. while it. think once. you have some dispute used it was a is a fight between her and a couple of other people who eventually went on to accuse her of having disagreed at the name of the prophet muhammad on islam so this is a typical case effecting the the government in majority of the cases under the

pakistan's up lest any law or social disputes basically take the form of will go on to lead in the courts under the garb of blasphemy law so basically and views of the law that has existed that was drafted by the parliament but has not been devised sit ins and those who have to. i think take into account that not a single person has so far be executed under the last name because however it's abuse continues as was reflected in this case of us you know maybe but it's a case which has really targets the country especially especially some hardliners there so what's going to happen to her now because we've heard there and there have been no arrangements made to protect her security. well i think there are enough security arrangements being done for her under the supremum go to instructions and i'm sure the authorities as well as the judiciary will take care

of her there could possibly be. a flight out of pakistan for her the moment the dust of proto settles the hard liners i think who have seen in this were big a real push back by the judiciary they will go onto the streets day to the streets to protest and some roads in around islamabad have already been we hear blocked but i guess this is not going to take too long for the government and the military then to disperse them eventually let's talk a little bit more about those hardliners because weeks before the decision there were already protests from them in favor of execution other than those protests what do you think that their reaction is likely to be to their free to her fraying and of pakistan is just more broadly speaking as well well look we have to our people do in mind that the hard line is going to really come very much in pakistan except the nuisance value even in the last election the minute the individual

political parties win only argued five percent of the votes but garland has do represent a big nuisance and usually they take it one day the lack of planning and management capacities of the police and of the authority so the hardliners will keep making noises are aware that the mainstream political parties as well as the big majority of pakistanis does not favor them and i think most of them had prayed for the safe release exit of. really out of the jail by the under the orders of the supreme court and it has been a real pleasant pleasant surprise for the majority of pakistanis. commentator on pakistani affairs based in the country's capital islamic thank you. to some other news now nato has been holding its largest military exercises since

the end of the cold war dubbed tried juncture the vast scattering is taking place in norway parts of the north atlantic and the baltic sea all twenty nine nato member states plus finland and sweden are taking part it's taken months to get everything into position fifty thousand troops and support personnel two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five naval vessels and up to ten thousand military vehicles are now in the region moscow has called the maneuvers quote n t russian exercises and our reporter lars schultz is sick accompanied the troops and those tanks and sent us this report. why. i know. blowing up obstacles. and building bridges in just a few minutes to capabilities that the german army is bringing to try to juncture.

a lot of these old school skills still needed in times of hybrid warfare and cyber attacks as a result after the ukraine crisis we saw that it is more important to change back from stability operations to hire tens of thousands of what we see and as an interest to move larger formations and heavy equipment and that's had not been trained and done with within the last ten years far from the russian border germany has set up its operational headquarters in the norwegian hinterlands together with troops from france the netherlands belgium and. germany alone has brought ten thousand soldiers up here to norway and tanks weapons and other supplies it's a massive logistical challenge designed to improve the speech with which nato members could in a worst case scenario come to each other's rescue. this huge influx of people and equipment more than fifty thousand soldiers from thirty one countries is

a true test for the host nation norway. but the attitude among the public is there really positive support for nato here is among the highest of all member states and not just because norway shares a border with russia they're not so afraid that it will be a war. but that's a lot of things happening in the world so you never know how so nato is important for us of course well i believe russia has become a big threat in the last two years and i wouldn't i need we need to show where our power you know this war and the world and i know i could be part of it but it's not like it's something i think about but some of nato is testing. capacities are hidden from the population. remote controlled weapon systems. self driving your coats. military drones. so is this the future of the workfare all those capabilities have to be reversible

it means that. the forces can rely on this capability and have have to know how to do without those capabilities because. the system can be jammed all destroy or taken by. someone else so the military have to remain reversible. and that's why the airlines are still banking on tanks and boots on the ground battling daunting logistics and the elements here in the frigid know which in the climate. get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world u.s. secretary of state my palm pale has called for the cessation of hostilities in yemen and said that u.n. but negotiations to end the conflict should begin in november it's proposed that the talks will be held in sweden yemen has been at war for three years and is

facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis the world's largest statue has been unveiled in india the one hundred eighty two metre tall bronze figure is the tribute to independence hero sardar patel prime minister narendra modi inaugurated the statue calling patel a beacon of hope but critics are angry at the destruction of natural resources and the four hundred million dollar cost. u.s. president donald trump was greeted by heavy protests in pittsburgh as the first funerals of victims killed in last week's synagogue shooting got underway donald trump had traveled to the city to offer his condolences despite being told to stay away local jewish leaders had written an open letter to the president saying that he is not welcome in the city until he fully denounces white nationalism a letter was signed by more than sixty thousand people stirred further controversy

yesterday by stating his intention to scrap the right to citizenship for u.s. born children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants. we're joined now in the studio by irwin called their expert on u.s. politics at bard college and berlin and i want to talk a little bit more about trump's visit to pittsburgh we've seen you know he most certainly did not get a welcome there you know many said that they actually did not want him to come until he denounces white nationalism why did he go. this is really an interesting case because i cannot remember when the u.s. president has not i mean has been really not asked to come to such an event now he's damned if he does damned he would have been damned if he did to the president bull longs there in such a moment so how do you make the best of a difficult situation he brought millennia he tried to surround himself with fellow politicians none of them took that bait and i think his handlers then did the next

the third best thing which was keep him from talking and let him put his mouth foot in his mouth later after going to pittsburgh so in that sense she handled a difficult situation for him personally but it's really historically unprecedented that a president of the united states would be explicitly asked not to attend it is a moment for the country that is unprecedented as you mentioned it is politically charged it is emotional and charged in the country right now we have mid-term elections coming up donald trump also stating the following ahead of us midterm elections that he can overrule the call. situation an end to birthright citizenship what in practice would that mean or when and why would he say this now well clearly there's an election and you know weak and so he's hoping with his dog whistle or fog horn whatever he's using now to appeal to his base in the strongest way possible the idea that the president united states with an executive order can reverse an amendment to the constitution is really just an another indication that

he talks without a brief and that was our when collyer expert on u.s. politics at bard college in berlin now trumps enunciation of granting u.s. citizenship to anyone born on u.s. soil was part of his denunciation of people travelling by the thousands from central america to the u.s. in hopes of gaining asylum one caravan started in one door us where three quarters of the people live in poverty many fear that gang violence and other major crime among those fleeing are twenty percent more women than men testament to the threats faced by women in the country especially sexual and domestic violence w. reports from hundred us. every friday armed gangs forced these young barbers to cut their hair on one occasion they were caught up in a shootout with police the bobbers closed their salon to escape but lived in constant

fear for their lives that's why they decided to abandon their homes and set off for the united states. i had to go to the gang members to cut their hair. but i couldn't keep doing it out of fear. i said i spoke about it with my cousin and we decided to flee. and i was more afraid and just want to work in peace. as well as violence economic problems are pushing people to migrate almost three quarters of all hondurans live in poverty according to some estimates and more than half of the self employed live in extreme poverty. and i mean we are searching for a better homeland and opportunities to work where is not going to want to move our

families forward people cannot bear the situation any longer the crisis has been getting worse for years and it's happening because of the political situation that's why people are fleeing now they have nothing to eat. but by and supporting these migrants they're fleeing because there's no work here how can donald trump treat them as murderous. they know poverty rates in honduras are on the rise even though the government has invested in more social programs. i know. this woman has tried to reach the united states seven times are only once did she make it across the border but was then deported but her situation is so desperate that she plans to try again. go to your work i just can't go on like this even if i could find a job i wouldn't earn enough to support. the base just to learn i have three

children who need to be fed. on her last journey she was fleeing from an abusive husband she took her three children on the arduous journey they suffered from hunger and illness eventually they were arrested by mexican authorities and deported. what have you this is a bit by two and i reported it to the police and sought protection in mexico as they fled with my three children he notified the migration authorities and we spent eight months in detention as well as normal criminality women suffer from other types of violence they are the victims of domestic and sexual abuse and are threatened by bands who try to recruit to children that's why twenty percent more women are fleeing honduras than men according to a migration expert. say live when you've got particularly if they have pressured into prostitution or are forced to live with people who are involved in organized

crime i mean. it's a symptom of the vulnerability of women. migrants or refugees it's hard to draw a line in a country where desperation and danger go together for them escape seems the only option even barely has more news now and we begin with a big anniversary that's right there today is the tenth anniversary of bitcoin founded at the outset of the great recession the cryptocurrency was supposed to usher in a digital revolution in payments just about a year ago had the price run of its life before falling back down to earth so there's still a lot of hope and because plenty of hype sometimes even those who want to are really sure how it works. in the heart of moscow there's a small and conspicuous shop it may look normal but inside it's a different world the world of bitcoin. there are

a fake chocolate bitcoins as well as virtual bitcoins on servers for many of the crypto currency remains a great mystery even though russia produces more bitcoins than almost any other country. it wastes chick because at the good it yeah actually customers come to us and say i want. but i don't know what it is and here like in an apple store we explain to them that it's possible to make bitcoins on these machines they're told that they can buy it or equip themselves to make it anywhere. and i feel like. the crypto currency is created in heavily guarded block chain data centers like this one in st petersburg bitcoins are bought and sold and the transactions are recorded here currently there are more than seventeen million bitcoins in circulation each worth more than six thousand dollars at the end of last year the currency was

booming its value rocketed to almost twenty thousand dollars before collapsing even after a decade in circulation the big coin is still not a mainstream currency even though many say it's just a secure block chain technology allows highly encrypted transactions to be carried out and recorded more than a bit more than you can believe it or not but from an economic point of view you think companies and for individuals will currencies a much more effective than any change that country's economy is now to bend daughter economically. but the crypto currency is not one hundred percent secure hackers have stolen large sums of bitcoins in several countries authorities often warn consumers about what's called crypto jacking and that has weighed on bitcoins reputation and value. here. and joining us now to. talk a little bit more about bitcoin and where it stands ten years later is there until then from business and welcome. so ten years later the revolution has really

happened yet but are we any closer. to answer that question and you have to really kind of look at the promises that came out in the beginning of bitcoin you know it was a product of the great recession in two thousand and eight when it was originally proposed in a white sheet which is actually anniversary that we're celebrating today the anniversary of that white sheet being published it basically was a suggestion of a way to create a digital currency there or move the power from the banks in the governments right now are currency are secured are backed up by big banks and governments saying look we trust this currency it still has value the idea behind because when was you going to replace that that monopoly from the big banks and say ok by using in encrypted system an open letter system that we refer to as block chain now individual users can guarantee the safety of their own money using encryption right and the whole idea was we'd be able to replace cash with that it would have the additional pain revolution and we really haven't seen that crop up yet i mean the hurdles to using that coin for individual users are still far too high and there just aren't enough shops except in them so right now we're not really that much

closer to where we were towards that digital revolution than maybe five years ago six years ago we talk about this open letter we talk about replacing sort of the legacy banking system here this is all very complicated for a lot of people is there a better public understanding a big one at this point or has it been replaced by a lot of this maybe speculation that we saw last year well i think speculation is the right word i actually think that because of the two you know by bust cycles that we've seen right now with bitcoin with some of the prices they're going up to almost twenty thousand dollars a bitcoin i really think most people the public don't really have a good understanding of what bitcoin is what block chain technology is i mean for most people it's kind of another way to get rich quick schemes and i mean it did create a lot of legitimate millionaires i've spoken to some people who started mining when they were in college and suddenly they're like oh i have two hundred eighty bitcoins in a harddrive my god i'm a. i mean it made a lot of people really really rich but a lot of people lost a lot of money too because at the end of the day i don't really think that coin is a good investment i mean it's

a nonproductive asset class and if you're pumping that much money into a nonproductive asset class what you're really doing is you're actually just speculating you're not really investing long term so you don't think it's a good investment others disagree look into your crystal ball and tell us what is the future of because well i mean that's anyone's guess if you talk to proponents. bitcoin really did the world a service by creating the whole idea of crypto currency i mean there's dozens are actually there are hundreds of crypto currencies at this point and it also created blocking technology and proponents of blocking technology say these open digital leisure's will make borders obsolete it'll secure our food processing it'll basically they have hundreds if not thousands of possible solutions but right now despite millions and billions of dollars of seed capital we haven't really seen any good solutions for blocking technology so i mean right now it's kind of gray zone we don't really know where this is going however remember the internet was a product of the sixty's e-mail was a product of the seventy's twenty thirty years later that completely revolutionized how we doing business so right now we don't have

a lot of good solutions for block chain and for bitcoin cryptocurrency is in general but who knows what would be in twenty five years so a lot of hope a lot of hype in there but maybe something for the future and tilting to the business thank you very much thank you today is also how we in what began more than two thousand years ago is the celtic ritual is now a holiday celebrated around the world thanks in no small part to us commercialization now these days how it is a multibillion dollar industry not just for candy sales before movies pumpkins and of course customs. nine billion dollars. that's the revenue the national retail federation expects for halloween a record high. the mind share goes to surprise costumes of literally any kind. like pop stars which is superheroes and monsters my by about three outfits i go to multiple parties

i have about thirty two costumes in my house and you always buy new outfits every year because i don't like the way to something once no one is safe during hollowing not even doggies so funny when they do it because i like the little hands on them to polish. historically how and when has been a big hit for companies the reason affordability compared to the winter holidays where the average american spends around a thousand dollars hala leaving is a real bargain. the second round of the german cup is under way and i have max merrill here in the studio to analyze the results we have to begin with that game between buyer in munich and writing house and it was your pick of the day so far have it turned out well living housing or a small semi professional village team who managed to give the eighteen time record

cup winners by munich a little bit of a sketch should have been a walkover really for them judging on the outset but on it all too easy let's take a look. by and munich needed to avoid a cup stumble against a fourth tier side and they could breathe easy in the eighth minutes some nice work from and renata sanchez and sancho wagner tapped into make it one nil. and just minutes later sanchez had his shirt and the ref pointed to the spot. converting to make it two nil and ten minutes later another penalty. this time sanchez stepped up but he hit the woodwork. good and housing came out swinging after the break and they hit the net. eleven longer with the cross leanest meyer with the finish after that both teams were playing it safe for one

play barely missing the chance to seal the victory in the seventy fifth minute a lackluster two one win puts byron through to the next round and it leaves tiago injured. the easy cup tie the buying months of expected and after a four win this games then i went on a run of four straight wins but still not really convincing for me the coach unlucky to lose his job but also still not unlike the shed the criticism and elsewhere all the favorites won in the first of the cup games of the second round ok so the big sides ultimately won yesterday as you mentioned i'm do you think that we might see an upset though tonight well there's definitely to see for it for instance veta braman abundantly decide that travelling to vice flynn spoke for. german speaking viewers weisz is the german word for railroads which so called railroad switch but plans for a fourth division team they could shock braman and are also full of born to go side who are now struggling low in the leagues they face the current one the sickest

i've known back and on your one of the two capital clubs travel to heavyweights borussia dortmund now they've been a bit tricky for dortmund in the possum betting half and let's hear from their coach who is fisher just now. the cmon it's important for me that the team go out there to have fun and really enjoy the game. we have nothing to lose. anything's possible in the comedy is we just have to go out there and believe in ourselves. and we'll see how those teams are able to stack up later tonight that was an interview i did a short while ago with our very own max merrill and with that you are up to date now on. i'm sorry kelly and berlin thanks for watching have a great day. to
