3:04 pm
a situation where people need to get out quickly it's tough for people to move quickly so i think as you see these numbers rise a lot of the people that you see are going to be seniors that get caught up in this . it's been common in a lot of the different fires we've seen and. those are the populations that are most affected in these fires mike how are firefighters coping with. it we're seeing a lot of fighter fatigue it's been as you mentioned the the new normal here in the state. really throwing everything they can at it whether it's a bulldozer lines or building fire lines throwing air attacks at it one of the interesting things we've seen these fires even using california prison inmates to help fight the fires over two thousand of them i think are helping just clear brush and move anything that might make these fires grow more. if they're being
3:05 pm
paid less than two dollars a day so it won't really help any where they can get it what else are authorities doing to deal with the situation. really just throwing anything they can at it it's going to be air attack there a lot of different agencies are helping from different states. you see as these fires go on you start seeing emergency crews coming from farther and farther away and you're seeing that with these fires with the new crews arriving hoping that the weather will help along the way and mike is there really any relief in sight in terms of the weather. that's what crews are looking out right now as we. it's going to be really important that we're seeing red flag conditions across the state over the next couple days missing high winds temperatures rising really the conditions that are not favorable to firefighters so the earliest. chance of
3:06 pm
rain and more east you're receding it's not until next weekend so the developments over this next week are going to be really important in firefighters helping. only fan the flames a little bit all right journalist michael wald for us in santa rosa northern california thank you very much for that update my pleasure. now seven palestinians and an israeli soldier are reported dead after an israeli special forces operation in the southern gaza strip the dead include a commander of the military wing of hamas the islamist movement that runs gaza israel says a second soldier was wounded in the fighting the clashes took place amid israeli airstrikes and returned rocket fire from gaza towards israel israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has cut short a visit to paris to deal with the issue. our correspondent tanya kramer is in gaza city she joins us on the line for more on the story so tanya it's not that often that you see israeli security forces launch a raid on the ground in gaza what more can you tell us about what happened last
3:07 pm
night. i mean more of a positive information that's coming from old side to understand that there is any special forces commandos that entered the southern gaza strip is a car laden from the evening the much quilting to the israeli army special operations and missions but given the nature we don't know exactly what they were doing what was their mission. they must have been uncovered which resides it is an exchange of fire it was meant to come up and tell you we become a gate. patients along the border area was old enough that after i spend a few dozen posting in. one that is very close to the pillar of the country the rockets were fired according to the very army and was and is and then all of this comes at a time when told from going on understanding between israel and hamas made by egypt
3:08 pm
and the us and to ease the tensions do you think possibly to a longer term calm but this incident of course makes it much harder to to you can you imagine a commander from hamas' military wing was also killed in this operation what do we know about him how significant a figure with. the quitting because the military in the press conference earlier he was at the car you come on this not have been publicly known in gaza and from what we understand again from the school you can also statements by the very they aren't claiming that this was nothing of the nation has a particular lead to but it was it seems. to have been a botched intelligence commission mission and. that can you mention that this comes at a time where there were talks ongoing agreements that allowed cash in oil into gaza that was badly needed there what impact do you think this fresh violence will have on those arrangements. while this is really still pretty early it's going to what i
3:09 pm
can tell is that people in dogs is a good help from the sounds of these are very worried that this might be in some ways related although i have that situation have been relatively quiet over the. market and go and sit there and kind of the minute that the situation if you will at the moment mean that foreign journalists are currently in office the gaza strip that's one of the measures i think that's kind of the calm listen so it was it quickly this is mike it's an indication that so far i'm not interested in an escalation but. it is a very calm quiet and people are aware that the situation contains. tanya kramer joining us from gaza tony thank you for that update let's catch up on some other stories making news around the world officials say several people were killed by a suicide bomber who struck a police checkpoint in the afghan capital kabul hundreds had gathered nearby to protest the government's failure to prevent attacks by the taliban no group has
3:10 pm
claimed responsibility for the bombing. in yemen fresh clashes between rebels and pro-government forces in the city of have killed more than one hundred forty people several civilians are among the dead who the rebels are fighting to repel a large scale attack by government loyalists backed by saudi arabia. and north and south korea have begun dismantling twenty border guard posts along their heavily fortified frontier it's part of a deal struck last month to reduce tensions at the border under the plan both countries agreed to remove ten guard posts on either side of the divide. german chancellor angela merkel has led celebrations marking the centenary of women's suffrage in germany spoke here in berlin and paid tribute to the women who fought for the right to vote one hundred years ago. so you know nothing of on hold at the turn of the century women around the world began fighting for their rights. they
3:11 pm
formed at and gave each of the mutual support the most ardent we should say that it was hard exhausting but ultimately a successful struggle come on the twelfth of november today one hundred years ago women in germany were also finally allowed to take part in politics. it was a key moment in the history of democracy. michael herself is germany's first female leader but the political scene is still dominated by men get up is going to kettle's reports on mixed progress since women cast their first votes. in germany we have i'm going to america gender equality is happening in our country's politics right let's ask people how they see things and compare that interest to reality. can you guess how many may as out of ten in germany a male and female and if you could maybe. poured your and so on to the board.
3:12 pm
four out of ten a female and six out of ten a mile. twenty eight all manner line to all female you're actually wrong actually it's nine men and one woman only it's a lot of even. in the bonus act there are four hundred ninety men and only two hundred nineteen women that's sixty nine point one percent to thirteen point nine percent less than i thought of all parliamentarians our women that's the smallest proportion of women the bonus track has seen in twenty years because there are more male parliamentarians they have a higher percentage of speeches and courts and even an actress cabinet men make up the majority photos like this made headlines recently these are the coalition negotiations after reach know the elections and bev area and he is the leadership team in the interior ministry find the female. so why are there so few women in politics this is a question gender politics experts assume vital for has been researching. the
3:13 pm
topic of compatibility plays a major role balancing the burdens of family public service and politics self-confidence is also an issue it's not always easy getting ahead in this male dominated world at the local level only one in four politicians is female when i teach in a city council and the berlin district of the only woman in an office with four men . as i've already experienced in different places i personally and also with others that all women are looked at more critically especially political candidates people always ask questions like can she manage that party the s.p.d. already has a female quote teacher once that for all parties. around at the situation in german politics after considering current developments i have come to the conclusion that we will only be able to achieve gender balance if we institute
3:14 pm
binding regulation ice in germany women have been allowed to vote for one hundred years but gender equality in politics doesn't and that as long as those in government continue to be mostly men germany is the fall off the mark when it comes to gender equality. and we have our chief political editor michel are now with me here that we mentioned that chancellor merkel is speaking at a ceremony to mark one hundred years of german women getting the vote here in berlin where does she see her role in advocating for more women in politics well basically what she said is that the fact that she's the first female leader of germany so not be used as an alibi to not continue in trying to get parity she said that parity has to be the ultimate goal but having said that i'm going to machall is by no means real feminist in the classical sense i mean she famously forgot during the press conference that she was the leader of her own c.d.u. party when she was presenting the new the first secretary general of her own party
3:15 pm
when she was presenting and it would come might succeed in that role so and i'd say that one of her biggest achievements was to not stop on the lion who was the family minister pushing forward also towards a quota which we now see among the top businesses here in germany you've spoken to a lot of female lawmakers what did they say about why there is still such an imbalance or they see it really do you think rooted in the individual parties there are good and bad examples you do have parties who have a quota system a lot more successful that the greens on the left party with a lot of meetings being at weekends and playing into the traditional role of women going into the night that there really are structural issues amongst parties particularly when it comes to own party it's a party that is very much very strong when it comes to individual candidates being directly elected in constituencies and they're really the big question is who's on that list or who is put up. in the first place so we're talking not about
3:16 pm
a battle that's being fought in violin we're talking about very very many very local battles that women have to fight within their own party so you mentioned quotas some parties have taken that strategy to introduce quotas to balance the ratio of men and women but more how effective has that been and how much support is that is there for that where it has been implemented in the. green party particularly is very successful the green party is going to left party their party to have very strong showing the green party has more female m.p.'s than male m.p.'s in the current parliament despite the parliament having less female members than the last one did this is a lawsuit down to the c.d.u. possum which only has about twenty percent and the i'll turn to for dummy which has even less so where it has been introduced it has worked and that of course is the argument for those who say there should be a quote over the new talk to female politicians also from the free democrat party which really is not a shining example of women's wear facilitation either the pro-business party who say it can't come down to quotas in the end interestingly enough when the war in
3:17 pm
bringing women into politics if you want to call it like that with a pretty much of one party system but leaving that aside for one moment getting actually women out to take office in west germany west german old male traditions of networks continue to be the issue all right our chief political editor michaud krishna thank you very much. now our time to go to get ahead with business and the showdown between the e.u. and italy get hot is continuing to me and that's where the hugo the euro is hovering around seventeen months lows against the dollar investors are nervous at the uncertainty of the italian budget the currency was pinned under one dollar teen on monday down over half a percent from friday's close markets are braced for a roller coaster week as the start of between roman brussels over into this fiscal plan for next year comes to a head the european commission rejected the plan last month's warning of the government in rome to drastically reduce its budget deficit target is the already
3:18 pm
has the second highest in the euro zone in relation to g.d.p. the commission gave role model tuesday to present a new budget or face disciplinary disciplinary steps the italian government insists any concession would betray tell you vote amount to political suicide. meanwhile italy's five because lenders are considering opening a two and three quarter billion euro credit line with the central bank's deposit protection fund it's another indicator that italian banks aren't convinced that roams deficit spending will and well the credit line would serve to strengthen support for we can lend this in the event of a banking crisis which of these banks hold around three hundred seventy billion euros of government securities whose value depreciates when interest rates go up. let's bring in our financial correspondent koeppen frank is in this standoff with italy what are markets this week what is the worst case scenario. but again
3:19 pm
hard let me tell you that this topic is really making and vester is here on the trading floor more and more war and you were already talking of all your curves currency it was dropping during the week and already now to the lowest point since june last year well there are a couple of scenarios that investors are actually worried about all of this is reminding them of the financial crisis that happened in two thousand and seven and two thousand and eight we have to remember by that time the european central bank decided to change the monetary policy here for the eurozone and to keep interest rate at this record level of only zero per cent at the moment so there was this whole that this could potentially change maybe next year but with italy or right now in a constant crisis mode more and more investors do have doubt that this is really going to be the case of course the worst scenario would be you know if we would see maybe potentially a lender in italy really coming in such
3:20 pm
a crisis situation that other lenders might have to jump in for the moment this does not seem to be very likely because many lenders have those long term loans from the european central bank. and then a brief if you can it is balance as you mentioned of course for concern and how far do they threaten the stability inside the eurozone briefly. yes well we have to remember just a couple of weeks ago we had this latest stress test that was made by the european central bank and the result about italian banks were actually not very promising it does not seem to be the case that italian deadness are really prepared for such a scenario at the moment. in frankfurt thank you. europe's largest software company germany's a p is spending eight billion dollars buying up american data from culture its international as it tries to catch up on competitors in the fast growing data analysis market based culture its collects data on consumers

president and oversaw the end of the country's brutal civil war that pitted the government against separatists in the north of the country many say his administration backed the targeting and killing of thousands of civilians supporters of the ousted prime minister meanwhile have taken to the streets in protest he has refused to step down. well let's get more on the story with journalist among the pereira he's standing by for us on the line in colombo a month that the three main political parties have now asked the supreme court to declare the president's actions illegal how do you see this playing out. well what happened today and supreme court was a damn well petition asking supreme court to invalidate. actions of the sort of environment. very long session that lasted right throughout the afternoon eight of those provisions. gave their argument be arguing why the death of notification should be that the supreme court adjourned the
3:32 pm
sleeping for tomorrow and tomorrow or even see the rest of the arguments as well as the attorney general setting aside the side of the government and then only really see the supreme court's decision as a group of decision could be that it can issue an interim or the ad given eve for these provisions to proceed. in an even restricts the deficit then what happens is elections cannot be held at the time that the president has announced but if the supreme court decision is that the president. by the month is rippin the constitution then elections will be held in generally. a little belated and a month you know it was only you know nearly ten years ago that the lankans ended
3:33 pm
its decade long civil war that was fought between the government and some will separatists how do you see this playing out could this crisis back a return to the violence along ethnic lines that this country suffered under for so many years. the readers are fairly standard you know i don't see any great of such violence breaking out because the split right now even within the majority become unity we didn't do we really believe and it's a very very political divide that is taking place here and the minorities especially the timing of the muslims have begun. even though they have been became very very important in determining the image of. either he wrote it is because there is muslim and then the private parties said that they would not support the president actually the recruiting that was why the rise of accra could not achieve the majority but right now there is no immediate threat ok but if you've ever gone
3:34 pm

3:35 pm
possibility of coming to germany. well we asked the german government about just this possibility and the answer was rather sculls you must say the government spokesperson we talked to said that several european countries would be open to the idea of creating a safe haven for b.b. and that germany would be one of them the spokesperson also said that. german authorities would already be in consultation talks with pakistani officials among the countries are most likely to take in the b.b. here in europe france italy the netherlands the netherlands of already taking in lawyer and since being linked to the idea of b.b. pace the dutch embassy house closed. its visa and its possible services out of security reasons the biggest country of the country with the biggest pakistani community here in europe the united kingdom has already
3:36 pm
reject the pledge of us it would be all right good ideas rupert vitor valid for us thank you. you know what. germany's foreign minister is calling for more transparency from china and its treatment of the weaker muslim minority targeted in a massive security crackdown raised the issue monday on an official trip to beijing that human rights groups claim that china has interned up to a million weekers in indoctrination camps in the far north western province. now beijing blames weaker separatists for a series of violent attacks that have killed hundreds of chinese officially these camps or to tackle religious extremism weaker say it's an aggressive campaign to destroy their culture foreign minister mosque has indicated that reeducation centers would be unacceptable to germany former inmates of the camps say they have suffered brain washing and humiliation more from our beijing correspondent in a moment but first this report. omer is now safe in istanbul far away
3:37 pm
from china's reeducation camps he's already seen one from the inside that was after authorities arrested him one morning they interrogated him and asked him if he was a radical islamist or if he had helped other muslims flee the country. beset me on a chair and questioned me. they tied up my hands and feet. then they took a stick and used it to beat me on my legs arms and feet for four days because it was going to. the chinese government calls the camps training centers state t.v. has repeatedly shown videos of what it claims are happy grateful citizens in classrooms. the students are mainly weekers and other minorities of turkey origin still china accuses them of spreading terrorism and pursuing independence.
3:38 pm
experience has shown that the training centers are useful in fighting terrorism and extremism and for providing stability in. the shitty these centers are located in the northwest of china in the remote province of chin's yang. over the past few months human rights activists have identified at least sixty camps we travel to the city of cars car on the streets police are everywhere the government monitors all activities two cars follow us plainclothes state security are with us every step of the way as soon as we turn our cameras on we are reminded of the rules no one is allowed to talk to us and critical material must be a raised we as a hidden camera and try to enter a camp but were stopped. but instead of when they first arrested us we were not told why no explanation in the
3:39 pm
camp itself there were no windows and no fresh air and we were not allowed to shower. or was released after eight months he fled to kazakhstan where he was reunited with his wife and children his mother father and sister are all being held in the camp he says they're being punished for his alleged crimes the chinese government he says operates on fear requiring absolute obedience from its citizens . when i was in the reeducation camp in prison i met other weekers they were businessmen teachers doctors and engineers not all of them were muslims some were not religious at all. that despite the government stated aim of cracking down on radical islam isn't many people inching jang are living under a cloud of suspicion careful of any behavior that could see them jailed that
3:40 pm
includes visiting casares mosques which you can only do now if you are a tourist. let's go right to beijing our correspondent mightiest building is standing by for us hi mathias a lot of international criticism on china over this issue how is beijing responded . beijing is very thin skinned on this they're very sensitive react very sensitively to criticism there was a debate in the german born this talk last week about the the human rights situation in syria and the chinese embassy has handed a protest note to the bonus talk has formally protested this is highly unusual china has tried to deny this issue has tried to deny the existence of these camps for a long time and when evidence grew stronger they came forward with this propaganda of re educating providing vocational training so now they're trying to push hard to
3:41 pm
get this view into the international discourse much as these camps are hard to access there in rome a remote area how much do we actually know about what goes on inside. well we have heard some some witnesses some former inmates that were able to flee china talking about what they say is pretty much the same people are forced to repeat slogans all the time slogans like china is a great place to live to seeing these so-called red songs without the communist party there would be no new china the east is red etc these classical communist brainwashing techniques from the twentieth century that are being used there i travel to singe done a few days ago and i have been close to one camp i could see inside the courtyard although i couldn't see any of the inmates and they have slogans painted all around that that are like obey the party worship the party so it's all about getting them
3:42 pm
to acknowledge or to obey the party meanwhile there's a massive security crackdown and how does daily life look like there. well imagine we are talking about possibly one million inmates in these camps plus people who have been detained in other facilities criminal convictions are up so out of a top population of ten million that that's every ten citizen who is now who has now disappeared imagine how this affects society plus when you walk around the streets you see security everywhere you see police everywhere there are checkpoints at the entry of each tone at each major road crossing there are police officers walking around randomly controlling people all the time at one point i was standing near a traffic light and when the traffic light turned green i didn't cross because i
3:43 pm
was trying to orient find my lane taishan people told me cross it's green i didn't cross and immediately police walked up to me and told my id so this is what street life looks like and since you are now far i did have as much as feeling a for us thank you for your reporting. right now what's cold and wet but has left millions of people feeling all warm and fuzzy let's take a look and refresh your memory. it's not this manic the ice bucket challenge the challenge went viral four years ago when everyone from world leaders to became celebrities were drenched in icy water to raise awareness and money for a less aware but fatal neurological disease the challenge is one of the biggest viral campaigns to date but critics have dismissed it as little more than slacktivism a feelgood fad dressed up as whale activism but is that really all there was to it for the latest episode of did abuse facebook show what happened next we caught up with brian a federal a.o.'s association here's what he said it was genuine and it wasn't
3:44 pm
