11:06 am
islamic state and not so much the philippines how deeply rooted is the philippines it is in the philippines i think the ideology behind i guess is very attractive to many young muslims like delay he told us that when he was in the jihadi training camp for a couple of months to receive training as he called it so foreign fighters mainly from neighboring indonesia and malaysia but also from arab countries and we do know that international terrorist organizations. i don't like this as they lose ground in the middle east increasingly look for other green pastures and i think southeast asia with its many many unresolved conflicts i think is an area where the ideology has real roots of dual the young man that we were just seeing pictures up there he has worked for i talked to him and he told you that he would do it again what are
11:07 am
they fighting for. he feels he tells us disenfranchised he feels that he's not crazy pot off filipino society he is looking you know for a sense of belonging he's not a deeply religious person i think he's just an angry young men who is looking for a sense of purpose and life and he is very you know. he fell prey to islamist jihadists propaganda very easy he can be disappointed easily he can be convinced easy so it's a gray zone and yes for now i think he has accepted defeat but as you said clearly he's ready to fight again if this promise of autonomy which is now hanging in there is not you know making his own life. under thank you so much for your insights to reporters on the page as well. hungary has seen the biggest demonstration of public
11:08 am
discontent there since right wing prime minister effector orbán came to power in twenty ten to fifteen thousand people braved freezing temperatures in the capital budapest for the fourth rally in a week or protesting against new labor legislation that opposition groups are calling a slave law. was whoever does not jump is victor are banned they chant hungary's prime minister apart among this coalition of opposition all day sunday thousands from the greens to the far right are united and. fed up with what they see is their government creeping authoritarianism and the thick of the smoke bombs tear gas and clashes desperate voices plead for calm. was do not do not through why are you throwing he shouts. others point the finger at the police i want to see that these protesters are here
11:09 am
for you to for you and you and you for all of you. is the outrage was sparked by a rowdy parliamentary session last week with viktor or bans government taking over control of a judicial system that has until now been independent and weakening employment rights described as a slave law by critics. for many the seventh constitutional change in his many years on our band was the last straw. and that look at what i'd like to have a democracy here i'd like to have in a country where i can freely decide what i can do and no decisions i'm a department head and i am sorry but that we have unfortunately reached the point when the government interferes with almost every bit of people's every day life and history in cultural administration federal labor and health care about i the result is piling pressure on hungary's government and its controversial leader on
11:10 am
a collision course not just with the european union but with his own people. well for more let's cross over to correspondent stuff on both in budapest stuff on the mass protests have been going on for days now how much of a threat to they pose to the government of prime minister viktor orban. well dutch of course the interesting question i have to say debts groups of course are very divided you have the far right say your big party for instance among the protesters as well and of course there are older group says so well among the demonstrators i think calling for it each day can keep the momentum going and also their main goal to creates more freedom in hungary and perhaps even in the future direct nation of the prime minister then i think it will go on as well i think we have really to see how the coming days will be we have seen no doing tonight so one of the largest demonstrations in year seen hungary and of course is to keep the momentum going and
11:11 am
there are more protests planned today then of course it could mean more pressure on prime minister viktor orban how has the government reacted to these protests is there any indication that it may be willing to compromise. well for the moment there is no indication de are willing to compromise however there are still behind the scenes told i think going on what to do next because if this release will go along and if indeed many people will keep going to the streets then of course you will see more pressure on the prime minister so far they have said this people are mercenaries so for george soros to reach entropy is to for instance finance the central european university and order rights groups of course the demonstrators are denying that and day say we are united in our fight and i was struggle for freedom today well talking about unity there it appears to be a rather broad alliance of different groups out there on the streets of budapest
11:12 am
what is it that unites the in their anger against the government. well that is indeed the issue because of course there are also far right people sometimes seen among different testers and there is a little bit fear that the far right of people may provoke so more of the demonstrators but i think they are united in to read a struggle for freedom and for instance here behind me and into parliament building where i'm standing now you will really saw in recent days thousands and thousands of people many young people as well i think that's an interesting point for prime minister or of on that many students are involved in his rallies and they will continue we have to see it's a very cold but they aren't lending really to keep the momentum going even beyond christmas stuff thank you so much for bringing us up to date to correspond stuff on boats there in budapest. now to some of the other stories making

11:15 am
maximum pressure which has included increasing number of things. is what rot north korea's been to negotiating table this year and so while it's not entirely clear whether these were applied to specifically further those negotiations it is clear that american officials remain committed to what they see as the usefulness of these sanctions and aides say that they're not going anywhere until they see more progress from north korea on giving up its nuclear weapons on north korea obviously has a different perspective on those sanctions what does this mean for those negotiations you're talking about and the path towards a nuclear free korean peninsula as you mentioned we've seen an increasing number of statements from north korean state media decreasing increasing the most recent want to over the weekend really went so far as to warn that there could be
11:16 am
an exchange of fires in the future and that you need to there is a should could be blocked for ever if the united states continues on this path of sanctions and so right now united states out pursuing new sanctions regime and with korea apparently not taking more concrete steps on its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program it does appear that these talks that have been stalled so far will be stalled in the near future as well josh thank you so much for your insights correspondent josh smith there for reuters in seoul. new trial was underway in paris of a german testing organization that certified faulty breast implants as safe from the years nine hundred ninety seven to two thousand and ten hundreds of thousands of women received silicone implants from the french company v.i.p. those implants received a seal of approval from the rhineland testing organization now there are fears that

11:24 am
following weeks of protests the demonstrations were originally sparked by anger over a planned fuel tax hike in response might cost perhaps the tax and increase the minimum wage by one hundred euros a modest the total cost of those concessions could be up to fifteen billion euros fuelling concerns off an unsustainable debt. and meanwhile italy's government has agreed on the basis of a new budget aimed at avoiding disciplinary action from the european union and the move comes after the country's original spending plans were found to breach e.u. fiscal rules italy's leaders want to increase welfare payments cut taxes and reduce the retirement age of the e.u. says those plans will raise the country's deficit beyond acceptable levels the details of the revised budget i'm not yet known. i'm on that i'm joined by

our financial market correspondent all of us in frankfurt only so the three percent of g.d.p. deficit limits is part of the e.u. stability and growth pact what does it mean when a heavyweight micron's breaks that rule. well it means that it's setting a bad example for others and already the telly in government has noted as much that now france would be in that corner as well and of course it makes it all the more difficult for the e.u. commission or the other finance ministers and heads of governments and states to reel in italy and france and their big heavyweights and they both of course have their issues why they're doing this in france everybody knows you already said it it's the political situation in the country the village on the yellow vests basically hindering mccraw in performing the reforms that many in the markets
11:26 am
but also other many economists and politicians believe would be vital to improve francis competitiveness the problem with criticism of this kind of policy is whoever is doing it is doing it from a difficult position even germany germany was among the first to break the maastricht rules back in the time when chancellor schroeder of the s.p.d. was reforming the labor market and was using that as an excuse to overspend ok so we had many already breaking the rules including germany well now italy the result second largest economy of course is in line with that three percent limit but its overall debt is so enormous that we need to worry about any additional budget deficit how markets coping with all that very briefly. well yeah the markets are coping with surprisingly well the equity markets but also the euro the euro actually recovering from that slide last week but remember whatever the deficit the e.c.b. is standing by to offer all the support that needs to be given mario draghi the
