and they're challenging. the ship and seven percent of the abuse platform for. the city to be a news live from berlin a christian woman on death row in pakistan is freed and hard line islamists have hit the streets they're angry that the blast from a conviction against b.p. was overturned by a federal court some want the judges dead ozzy of the as a mother of four she's expected to leave the country with her family she had been convicted of insulting islam. as

a special day for the world's most famous cryptocurrency words bitcoin standing ten years after its introduction. of you had to honduras to find out why so many feel threatened and are relieved after country for the u.s. even as president trying to tighten the u.s. the southern border. and one hundred eighty two meters high it's being called the tallest statue in the world but india's three hundred fifteen million euro joshua of unity and augury to today so far been anything but the symbol of togetherness. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us of course in pakistan has freed a christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy azi a baby as a mother of four who was condemned to hang and twenty ten for insulting islam prophet mohammed since the ruling thousands of islamist activists have blocked

roads and ransacked government property to protest and one hardline group called for death to the judges who overturned the death sentence. she has spent most of the past eight years in a prison cell in solitary confinement. bibi has always maintained her innocence the christian farm worker and mother of four was convicted in twenty ten of blasphemy she was accused of insulting the prophet mohammed after muslim women from her village objected to her drinking water from their shared class because she was christian bibi then became the first woman to be sentenced to death by hanging under pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws but now pakistan's highest court has decided to overturn the verdict and. the ruling was immediately met with angry protests by hard line islamists. the only

punishment for a blasphemer is beheading they sound and we won't obey this oppression. the leaders of one islamist party have even called for the death of the judges who ruled in favor of us and bebe's release. her story began in a rural pakistani village but what started here has stirred intense emotions around the world. in the past islamists have murdered some of those who spoke out in her favor. today's reactions show that their anger has diminished a little since her breast nearly ten years ago. let's get more on this story with channel shams from asia he has been following this story for us hi sean will tell us more about where baby is now has she been

released and what is next for her and her family. well at the moment we do not know where she is she has been released as far as my knowledge goes information that be deceived. she will soon be taken out of the country that's what we have been hearing probably should be taken to the u.k. we have relatives staying at the moment it is difficult to tell probably. not even the syrian government is. very much knowledgeable about her whereabouts the security agencies the security agencies in pakistan actually deal with these kind of things so my guess is that she will not be staying in pakistan for long she will be taken out of the country has it happened yet we don't know china as we said this is been about a very polarizing case and we've seen islamicists out on the streets protesting this today how much support to all religious groups in pakistan do not have enough

support to do not have a lick total support the liberal secular centrist parties usually win the elections but they have a massive history father and. the thing is that islamists have become so powerful very powerful the became powerful during the cold war in the nineteen eighties when the us was supporting gun mujahedeen with the help of the pakistani military and military agencies they became immensely powerful and the pakistani state adopted a religious islamist narrative which continues so the powerful military in pakistan the still calls the shots the uses some analysts accuse the military of using these islamists as proxies in afghanistan and kashmir and so dot has been happening and because of that they have become immensely powerful not seen b.b.

scase is important for these people because they believe that if they compromise. on the blasphemy law it might lead to something more liberal embarks on and they would not one don't compromise ing on the blasphemy law would be accepting. things could change in the future. all right. thank you so much for your analysis today thanks for having me. now to some other stories making headlines around the world a man is dead after he detonated an explosive at russia's intelligence agency that's according to officials it happened at the entrance of the federal security service in one hundred s. in northern russia three employees were injured of the attack which is being treated as terrorism was reported reportedly carried out by a local seventeen year old. russia space agency says the failed soyuz rocket launch weeks ago was caused by a faulty sensor

a russian and american cosmonaut were on route to the international space station when they were forced to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off the agency is scheduled the next manned mission for december officials in indonesia say they have detected pings believed to be from the black box of the ill fated lie an airplane divers in the java sea are searching for the device which contains both the voice cockpit recorder and flight data recorder the aircraft crashed just minutes after takeoff on monday all one hundred eighty nine people on board are presumed dead. you're watching news still to come hundreds without hope ws the back story and why so many flee their home country heading towards the u.s. . but first steven is here with business and a leading digital currency celebrating a big milestone today thread so we were talking about bitcoin of course today is the tenth anniversary the cryptocurrency there was supposed to usher in a revolution in digital payments just about

a year ago it had the price run of its life before falling back down to earth now today there's still a lot of hope in big but also plenty of hype sometimes even those who want it aren't 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. get the good it yeah actually customers come to us and say. 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 think companies and for individuals virtual currency is a much more effective than any exchange that country's economy is now depend on economically. but the crypto currency is not one hundred percent secure hackers have stolen large sums

a bit points in several countries authorities often warn consumers about what's called crypto jacking and that has weighed on bitcoins reputation and value. now some say that whatever have. the big coin one thing is definitely here to stay and that's block chain the technology behind the cryptocurrency for more i'm joined by thomas shelton he's head of marketing for lisc a company that builds a block chain platform thomas thanks for joining us why is block chain seen as having so much potential. yeah blood change in the scene is one of the most revolutionary technologies or improvements with the internet of i got introduced like many years ago and it has great potential so to to use us as an example if i sent you a holiday photo i basically sent you a picture over e-mail and i make a copy of that basically. but if i want to send you five euros is hard for me to proof that i did and will keep the five years myself and copied it towards you so we would do it is in

a trust basis that has been done for for for many years but now we have the internets we can do business with people all over the world and we have not the personal trust between ourselves that people hat's in the past when he did business on a face to face basis so how do we sort of make sure that there's a trust base is there we can share a value or trade value over to the internets without trusting each other and one block chained eliminates the element of trusts we also call it's trust lists so it's a distributed ledger all over the world of different servers or notes so called and it will maintain and capture that data so we can make sure that the ones that put the data inside the block chain are not the ones that are verifying the data itself so distribute ledgers so that everyone can see when something is put in when something is taken out what are the concrete applications of this for business yes so there's many many business locations in the start of bitcoin being like sort of the digital gold or to order replacement even as as a euro or dollar and

a use case is if you're in c. . and it's still to be made it will what you think that connection is the underlying technology block chain it has a far more reaching potential than it just secure and so what i said earlier we can capture value and what does that mean failure can be in the form of money but also data so one use case for example could be medical records so imagine a world where we have one medical records all over the world at any doctor at any time can look into the database and make sure it. that data is original not being messed around with because the data us immutable and put into a database for people that are ok to do so if i get a car accident in india and i go to the hospital the doctor can read all my medical data which is being record here in berlin all across the world and it can read out my blood group already all the things he needs in order to operate me successfully so how far away are we from an application like this actually coming into existence

where is the technology well there's a few already existing applications being put out of course being the first one to cure and c in the form of bitcoin. and it's it isn't it's more or less the matter of like we need to facilitate infrastructure that's also what we're doing at least till there's a few blocks in application platforms that bring sort of the tools to developers to start building and also businesses to start building blocks in applications and the aim is to get education educate people developers businesses ok what is the the potential of block chain and how do businesses can benefit from that and at the moment you see like a lot of businesses they diving to block chain also because it's a form of marketing because they follow the latest trends but if you really think ok if if a company really needs blood same technology what does it mean and supply chain for example is a very good example that is being experimented with so that more of his use cases like supply chain records of data and of course currency is what you see currently but when you look at people in the past about the internet. social media was not

even there and only a few years later it came right so lots of potential and of course figuring out what that application is specifically thomas lisc head of marketing or thomas shelton sorry head of marketing for list thank you for joining us through much. siemens will invest six hundred million euros in an innovation center in berlin it's called siemens city two point zero and that aspires to become the german silicon valley the project will include research laboratories high tech production facilities offices and housing siemens has pulled in sort of companies and researchers to bring the project to fruition for berlin it's the largest single investment in industrial company has made since the end of world war two cities in asia and the u.s. are also interested in hosting the center. now to take a little bit more into this one scene is trying to do we have daniel koch joining us from frankfurt daniel what is seen as trying to do here is a legacy german firm what do they want to accomplish with this innovation center.

well i have to admit i had a little bit when i was hearing about this at the beginning because frankly speaking cements is certainly unknown here and germany and probably also around the world for producing high quality products but not really known to be extremely innovative it seems to be a little bit that the old dinosaur wants to be young and cool and yet it's important for the men and for germany it certainly is because being a role model when it comes to digital ization is probably going to be one of the key factors factors also in the future to be successful i was listening to the statement off the seam and see ok he stated that germany needs to be more brave when it comes to this issue he said that it makes him mad that people fly to san francisco to talk to startups when there are enough clever and smart people here in germany as well so an old dinosaur there trying to shake his bones a little bit daniel cope with us in frankfurt thank you daniel. and now back to

sydney with more on the us mexico border what's going on there that's right stephen thanks very much for the trump administration has announced that it's going to send more than five thousand troops to that border as a convoy of central american migrants travels north the procession composed of thousands of central american seeking a better life in the u.s. has been on the road for more than two weeks they've been traversing rivers sleeping on the side of the road and relying on food and water handouts along the way the group is currently in mexico about one hundred sixteen hundred kilometers from the u.s. or rather if donald trump's plan is put into action they will encounter about as many troops as are currently stationed in iraq and syria combined many of them mike and started their journeys in honduras a country plagued by poverty sexual violence and gang were tony did travel to take to hear from those fleeing their homes. 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 barbers closed their cell and to escape but lived in constant fear for their lives that's why they decided to abandon their homes and sets off for the united states. goofy and they have got a little. bit on the on the 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 hundred and live in poverty according to some estimates and more than half of the self employed there live in extreme poverty. who can do and i'm

your partner we are searching for a better homeland and opportunities to work where we 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 in one judas is on the rice even though the government has invested more in social programs. this woman has tried seven times to reach the united states only once did she make it across the border only to be deported but her situation is so desperate that she plans to try again. your book i

just can't go on like this even if i could find a job i wouldn't earn enough to support. the babies just to learn. i have three children who need to be fed. on her last journey she was fleeing an abusive husband she took her three children on the arduous trip they suffered hunger and illness eventually they were arrested by mexican authorities and deported. this is seven by two and i reported it to the police and sought protection in mexico as i fled with my three children he notified the migration authorities and with spent eight months in detention. women suffer other types of violence they are victims of domestic and sexual abuse and are threatened by gangs who try to recruit their children. that's why twenty percent more women than men are fleeing honduras according to

a migration expert. city lives we got fifty two years they are 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. even think 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 india has unveiled the world's tallest statue prime minister narendra modi inaugurated the monument in a ceremony honoring sardar patel who is credited with uniting india after its break from britain in one thousand nine hundred seven but the inauguration has also been mired in controversy as locals are angry at the high cost of the statue and the damage to the environment. very quickly got not only got on with pomp and tight security india's prime minister narendra modi inaugurated the statue of unity.

one hundred eighty two meter tall bronze clad towering over western gujarat state. india's iron man sardar patel was the country's first deputy prime minister after india gained independence in one thousand nine hundred seventy patel played a key role in bringing the country states together. twenty odd years that they would see it but the my brothers and sisters believe this the world's tallest statute will keep on reminding the whole world and our future generations about the person's courage capability and resolve. that they not be there. this so-called symbol of unification was nearly four years in the making now its unveiling is being overshadowed by protests and accusations of political point scoring the statue is part of the hindu nationalist parties effort to rebrand what

it calls forgotten leaders but their critics see this as an effort to appropriate a national hero figure ahead of next year's national election. the four hundred million dollars project has uprooted many residents one hundred eighty five families most of them belonging to local tribes were forced to leave their homes. ahead of the inauguration local chiefs called for modi to stay away and there are reports of activist leaders who have been detained. and despite protests authorities hope the site will be a popular tourist attraction in this remote corner of india. and they are rushing to ensure the area has enough hotels restaurants and other infrastructure to cope with the anticipated rush. they'd obviously in a sense i saw is in delhi following the story for us hina misha what's been

happening today have there been more protests. while there have not been any process because they have been successfully stopped because of the deployment of thousands of police personnel now of course the venue of the inauguration how did a lot of high profile leaders including the prime minister named more of the but this is not to say that there were no protests coming in from tribal and follow groups who say that this instead of the four hundred million us dollars spent on this project three thousand crore indian rupees they should have been had for problems they have been complaining about the have eleven years of bost farmer abuse as valid as tribal issues they also say that the quality of the area is being harmed the statue is very close to the night of the dam project that is very controversial because of displeasing in this case and people as well as hurting the ecology so misha despite those protests why was it important then for the indian government to build this huge statue to honor sardar patel while

the protesters of course say that it was not important to build a statue of bob the significance of party is that the government is talking about is how he was a united of india the statues actually core of the statue of going to do this also run for unity to inaugurate his but they said i love it but david is considered one of the founding fathers of india because he actually brought together the indian state once the british withdrew they not he not only brought together the provinces which were under colonial rule but there were many self-governing princely states he approached over five hundred sixty s. to convince them to join the particle for india which is why he is credited as a very important national figure initially said the prime minister the inaugurated this monument why was it important for him to do so. well despite the fact that so that there is a founding father of the political party behind prime minister more the has asserted that he is a forgotten figure it's also worth noting doubts about the day of belong to the

indian national congress which is actually in the opposition right now and prime minister the prime minister more because move to inaugurate this massive statue seen as an effort to appropriate not only this national figure but actually a figure that is associated with the congress party this is of course the run up to the general elections off twenty nine thousand that are going to be crucial in india from the someone you're making a bid to extend his favorite and you would have a prime minister do it then and then you have daniel and he hopes that a statue like this many could to connect with say it is going to shore that much like a lot but there he can also unify india and bring it to development right of these new mission just well for us in delhi thank you very much. football now and in the second round of the german cup record champions bahrain news that munich faced a semiprofessional team floating house and on tuesday the eighteen time champs were expected to stroll to victory but their win proved to be a bit of
